Definitions
- the invention relates to lumbar osteosynthesis instrumentation for the correction of spondylolisthesis.
- spondylolisthesis is the forward displacement of a vertebra relative to its lower neighbour.
- any vertebra may be affected, but the fifth and the fourth lumbar vertebrae are the most commonly concerned.
- spondylolisthesis Affecting more frequently women or young girls than men, spondylolisthesis is usually classified into five types: dysplastic, isthmian, traumatic, degenerative and pathological. Its degree of seriousness is measured by the distance travelled through by the displaced vertebra with respect to its lower neighbour.
- the first stage is a displacement of a quarter of the antero-posterior diameter of the vertebral body.
- the fourth stage corresponds to a complete displacement of the vertebral body.
- the second and third stages are the intermediate stages.
- an anterior or posterior vertebral fusion laminectomy with decompression of the posterior structures and an excision of the hypertrophied mass of the fibrous tissue in the region of the lysis may be indicated.
- the discal state in the region of the spondylolisthesis sometimes requires a radiculographic or discographic assessment.
- the decompression without fusion may be a surgical operation.
- an effective orthopedic surgery consists in returning the vertebra not only onto the axis of the spine but also to a position which is as correct as possible relative to the neighbouring vertebrae.
- this vertebra in fact might have been subjected to lateral thrusts which have caused it to pivot horizontally to a more or less large extent so that a correct repositioning of the vertebra of course implies its rearward return but also a derotation.
- such a device is relatively complex and costly owing to the number of its component parts which further increases the mounting difficulties encountered by the surgeon during the surgical operation.
- the double thread screw in addition to the fact that it is long and costly to produce, its implantation in the pedicles is not at all convenient.
- this double thread screw is subjected to extremely high shear stresses, mainly in the region of the junction with the instrumentation appliances or in the upper part of the screw thread.
- An object of the invention is to provide a lumbar osteosynthesis instrumentation for the correction of spondylolisthesis, which permits both returning the vertebra to the rear and pivoting it in the desired direction of rotation.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a double thread pedicular screw so arranged as to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks while permitting mass production which is cheaper than in the case of screws known in the art which can only be produced on a small scale.
- the osteosynthesis instrumentation comprises, for each lumbar vertebra, two pedicular double thread screws, one thread of which corresponds to the region of penetration of the screw in the pedicle, two rods having surface asperities respectively associated with a pedicular screw and connected to the latter by connection elements provided with elements for clamping the rods.
- each connection element is in one piece and the screw thread corresponding to the region of penetration of the screw in the pedicle terminates on an annular shoulder on which the connection element bears.
- the derotation action exerted by means of this instrumentation has the advantage that it can be carried out slowly and with a certain amount of control, over the movements, thereby affording on the whole in the two movements an excellent precision in the repositioning of the vertebra relative to its neighbouring vertebrae.
- the arrangement of a transverse shoulder into which tangentially fades the screw thread of the part of the screw serving to penetrate the pedicle provides a reinforcement or strengthening resisting the shear stresses in this region.
- the continuous peripheral shoulder may also act as a support for an added part.
- the end of the screw thread outside the part of the screw serving to penetrate the pedicle is extended by a screw threaded rod adapted to cooperate with an ancillary screwing device.
- the instrumentation according to the invention comprises an ancillary device for screwing the pedicular double thread screw, this device bearing against the screw threaded extension of said screw.
- This ancillary device comprises a rod provided with an end grip and includes a tubular end part which is arranged to permit the insertion of the operating part of the double thread screw, has a conical free end part remote from the grip tapering toward the grip and is provided with at least one longitudinal slot.
- This ancillary device further comprises a tube freely slidable on the rod for the purpose of surrounding and gripping the conical end part of its tubular end part for the purpose of clamping it on the operating part of the pedicular screw.
- Fig. 1 is a perspective view from above of one embodiment of the lumbar osteosynthesis instrumentation according to the invention, mounted on the first lumbar vertebra and on the sacrum.
- Fig. 2 is a partial perspective view of the instrumentation shown in Fig. 1.
- Fig. 3 is an elevational view in the transverse direction, partly in section, of the instrumentation shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
- Fig. 4 is an elevational view to a larger scale of a pedicular double thread screw which is part of the instrumentation shown in Figs. 1 to 3.
- Fig. 5 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the ancillary device for mounting the pedicular screw shown in Fig. 4.
- Fig. 6 is a perspective view to a larger scale of an alternative embodiment of the connection element between the osteosynthesis rod and the screw.
- Fig. 7 is a sectional view taken on line 7-7 of Fig. 6.
- the lumbar osteosynthesis instrumentation shown in Figs. 1 to 3 is adapted to correct spondylolisthesis by the posterior approach.
- each lumbar vertebra to be corrected for example the vertebra L5, two pedicular screws 1 having two screw threads, two cylindrical rods 2, preferably two rods of the so-called Cotrel type having surface asperities or knurling extending longitudinally along the concerned lumbar segment (vertebrae L5, L4 and sacrum S in the assembly shown in Fig. 1 ), connection elements 3 connecting each pedicular screw 1 to the adjacent rod 2, pedicular screws 4 for securing the rods 2 to the vertebra L4 and to the sacrum S, and devices 5 providing a transverse connection between the rods. All these elements except the pedicular screws 1 and the connection elements 3 are known per se and therefore need no special description.
- connection element 3 has, when viewed in the transverse direction, a substantially L-shaped profile consisting of an enlarged base 3a in which is provided a through passage 10 receiving the rod 2 and having an axis X-X.
- This portion 3a has on one side a cylindrical surface and on the other side a planar surface and is extended by a thin portion 3b.
- the latter has two parallel planar surfaces and is provided with an opening 7 for the passage of the pedicular screw 1.
- the opening 7 consists of a cylindrical central part having an axis Z-Z extended on each side by two conical parts 7b, 7c opening onto the planar surfaces.
- a tapped opening 6 transversely opens onto the bore or passage 10 and receives a screw 20 for radially clamping the rod 2.
- the surface 3c of the element 3 remote from the passage 10 is completely planar.
- the element 3 constitutes the means for securing the rod 2 and the means for screwing the screw 1.
- the distance between the axes of the screw 1 and rod 2 vary with the subject so that the surgeon can choose the most appropriate element 3. 5
- Each screw 1 comprises from its point 8 a first screw threaded part 9 extending to the length of penetration of the screw 1 in the pedicular and a second screw threaded part 11 which is outside the region of penetration in the pedicle and is termed the "operating" part.
- the operating part 11 On the side o remote from the screw threaded part 9 the operating part 11 is extended by a profiled end portion 12, constituted for example by two flats 13 adapted to permit both the gripping of the double thread screw 1 and the screwing thereof by means of an ancillary device 14 (Fig. 5) which will be 5 described hereinafter.
- the screw threaded operating part 11 is extended by a short smooth region 15 terminating in a continuous peripheral shoulder 16 constituting the end of the screw threaded part o 9 « This shoulder 16 bears against the planar surface of the element 3 which is the most remote from the screw threaded part 11 , consequently the screw 1 cannot pass through the element 3.
- the screw thread 18 of this screw threaded part is 5 adjacent the shoulder 16 and the depth of the thread 21 close to the shoulder 16 gradually diminishes until it tangentially merges with or fades onto a cylindrical sector 22 bordered by the shoulder 16 which thus forms a screw reinforcing region in this position.
- the shoulder 16 may act as a support for a device or an associated connection element 3.
- the operating part 11 of the screw 1 is constituted by a metal screw thread of small pitch, for example between 0.5 and 2 mm and preferably between 0.8 and 1 mm, adapted to receive a nut 23 for clamping the connection element 3 against the shoulder 16. This instrumentation has the following advantages:
- connection element 3 is made in a single piece not only makes this element cheaper to manufacture but also simplifies the positioning of the element by the surgeon, and above all improves the strength of the connection between the rod 2 having asperities and the pedicular screw 1.
- the pedicular double thread screw 1 is subjected to high mechanical stresses of multiple origins; it must resist these various stresses for a relatively long period of time the duration of which depends on each patient.
- the screw 1 must therefore be as simple as possible to mount during the surgical operations, but must also have sufficient strength to withstand all the forces during and after the operation.
- fractures generally occur in the region between the two screw threads.
- the invention remedies this situation by terminating the screw thread 18 for anchoring in the pedicle in the substantially tangential region 22. Consequently, the screw thread 18 does not "open out” onto the shoulder 16 for supporting the connection element 3 and consequently ensures that this shoulder 16 has a peripheral continuity and a sufficient supporting thickness.
- This supporting thickness thus affords the maximum mechanical resistance to the forces transmitted to the connection element 3 and therefore exerted by the latter.
- Another advantage afforded by this arrangement of the anchoring screw thread 18 resides in the fact that, when it is desired to effect a bicortical anchorage by reaching the opposite cortical part of the vertebra and with the screw thread length corresponding to the length of the passage through the vertebra, the surgeon is informed of the desired final position of the screw thread. The stoppage of the latter in its upper part indeed constitutes a warning in that the surgeon must suddenly exert a higher torque. He must therefore stop his screwing effort.
- the engagement of the pedicular screw 1 by the ancillary device 14 no longer occurs in the central region of the screw, as described in said patent 2 615 095, but at the free end of the screw.
- This end region may be in the form of two flats 13 provided on a smooth, or optionally screw threaded, end part to permit the ancillary device 14 to act on the screw.
- This ancillary device comprises a rod 24 provided with a tubular end part 25 and, at its opposite end, a manual grip
- the tubular part 25 is so dimensioned as to permit the insertion therein of the operating part 11 of the screw 1 , and the ancillary device 14 is completed by a tube or sleeve
- the tubular part 25 is provided with longitudinal slots 28 starting at its free end, for example three slots as illustrated, extending along a part of the length of the region 25.
- the free end portion 29 of the latter is conical and tapers in the direction toward the grip 26. Beyond the slots 28, at a certain distance from the latter, there is provided a hollow profile matching the profiled end portion
- the tubular part 25 is provided with a transverse opening 33 in the region of the flats.
- the surgeon slides the tube 27 along the tubular part 25 until the conical end portion 29 is made to grip round the operating part 11, the tapered portion 29 thus constituting a holding chuck for the screw 1.
- the two flats constitute additional means for preventing a reverse rotation of the pedicular screw 1 in the ancillary device 14.
- the ancillary device 14 also serves to screw the nut 23 clamping the screw 1 in the connection element 3. It is provided in its end 29 with a corresponding recess for engaging this nut 23.
- the surgeon Before placing in position the support rods 2, which are for example the known Cotrel rods (Registered Trademark), the surgeon suitably anchors with his ancillary device 14 the double thread screws 1 in each of . the pedicles of the vertebra L5 to correct. Then he secures the support rods 2 to the neighbouring vertebrae, or, as in the embodiment shown in Fig. 1 , to the sacrum S and vertebra L4. Then he firmly fixes the connection elements 3 to the rods 2 by means of a radial clamping screw 20 (Fig. 1 ).
- the two transverse connection rods 5 are not yet installed.
- the surgeon acts on the nuts 23 clamping the connection elements 3 by means of an ancillary device and preferably two ancillary devices, each being disposed on one of the nuts 23 of the two screws 1. He is now free to act, as desired, more on the screwing of one of the nuts 23 than on the screwing of the other, depending on the movement he wishes to impart to the vertebra L5, as he is free to act in an identical manner on the two nuts 23.
- the fine pitch of the screw thread 11 supporting the correction nut 23 permits acting very progressively on the vertebra.
- the latter severs the double thread screw 1 above the nut 23. The severing of the rod deforms the screw thread 11 and this subsequently prevents the unscrewing of the nut 23.
- transverse rods 5 interconnecting the rods 2 can be mounted, thereby achieving a rectangulation of the whole final instrumentation.
- the instrumentation according to the invention is easier to place in position by the surgeon than that disclosed in said French patent 2 615 095, cheaper as concerns the fabrication of the screw, and more reliable in use; it no longer requires a transverse handling plate in the region of the connection elements 3.
- the screwing of the pedicular screws 1 by their profiled end portions 12 rather than by their central regions as in the aforementioned prior instrumentation, is also more convenient for the surgeon.
- connection element 3 may be constructed to have, as viewed in the transverse direction, a substantially L-shaped profile and be disposed in such manner that its planar surface 3c (in contact with the nut 23 in Fig. 3) is inverted, by turning the element round, so as to be closer to the adjacent vertebra.
