Abstract

The invention relates to a device making it possible to limit the performing of suturing a meniscus to an endoscopic path only. It consists of a clamp 1 with distal fastening by spreading its branches under the effect of the traction of a guide pin 2 onto which it is crimped. The assembly is introduced in an endoscopic tube 3 whose end serves to spread the proximal branches of the clamp. According one particular embodiment the distal branches can be replaced by a screw thread.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif destiné à réparer une lésion d'un ménisque du genou par voie endoscopique exclusive. The present invention relates to a device intended to repair a lesion of a meniscus of the knee by an exclusive endoscopic route.

La suture méniscale est réalisée actuellement soit par voie d'abord chirurgicale soit par endoscopie associée à une contre-incision cutanée nécessaire au serrage du noeud du fil de suture.Le but recherché par cette invention est de supprimer toute contreincision et de n'utiliser dans la réalisation de la réparation méniscale que la voie endoscopique afin de réduire au maximum l'agression chirurgicale. Meniscal suturing is currently performed either by surgical approach or by endoscopy associated with a skin counter-incision necessary for tightening the knot of the suture thread. The aim sought by this invention is to eliminate any counterincision and not to use in performing meniscal repair as the endoscopic route to minimize surgical aggression.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet ce type de réparation.Celle-ci s'effectue par agraffage.L'agraffe comporte un axe rigide et quatre branches malléables:deux distales et deux proximales orientées en pointe dans le sens de la poussée.L'agraffe est sertie sur une broche servant de guide à son introduction à travers le ménisque,aprés avoir pénétré dans le genou par l'intermédiaire d'un tube endoscopique.L'agraffage se fait par traction sur la broche porteuse,ayant pour effet d'écarter les deux branches distales,et par poussée sur le tube,ayant pour effet l'écartement des deux branches proximales et le dessertissage de l'agraffe. The device according to the invention allows this type of repair. This is done by stapling. The staple has a rigid axis and four malleable branches: two distals and two proximals oriented in a point in the direction of the thrust. staple is set on a pin serving as a guide for its introduction through the meniscus, after having entered the knee via an endoscopic tube. The stapling is done by pulling on the carrying pin, having the effect of move aside the two distal branches, and by pushing on the tube, having the effect of the separation of the two proximal branches and the disjointing of the staple.

Dans une forme de réalisation particulière les deux branches distales de l'agraffe peuvent être remplacées par un filetage,l'agraffe étant alors vissée avant d'être fixée par ses branches proximales et dessertie. In a particular embodiment the two distal branches of the staple can be replaced by a thread, the staple then being screwed before being fixed by its proximal branches and served.

Cette agraffe est de nature métallique ou composée de tout autre matériau rigide,au mieux résorbable à long terme,et toléré par l'organisme. This staple is metallic in nature or composed of any other rigid material, at best absorbable in the long term, and tolerated by the body.

La figure 1 représente le dispositif selon l'invention. Figure 1 shows the device according to the invention.

La figure 2 représente un détail de la figure 1 correspondant à l'agraffe. Figure 2 shows a detail of Figure 1 corresponding to the staple.

La figure 3 représente le dispositif selon l'invention dans une forme de réalisation particulière avec filetage distal de l'agraffe.  Figure 3 shows the device according to the invention in a particular embodiment with distal thread of the staple.

Le dispositif représenté sur la figure 1 comporte: Une agraffe (1) composée d'un axe rigide (la) et de quatre ardillons malléables(lb).Une broche porteuse (2) dont la traction permet l'écartement des ardillons distaux au contact de la race externe du ménisque.Un tube (3) permettant l'introduction des broches et dont l'extrémité permet la mise en forme des ardillons proximaux.Une poignée (4) solidaire par l'une de ses branches de l'extrémité du tube (3) reçoit sur son autre branche les différentes broches (2) et permet le mouvement divergent de la broche(2) et du tube(3). The device represented in FIG. 1 comprises: A staple (1) composed of a rigid axis (la) and four malleable barbs (lb). A carrier pin (2) whose traction allows the distal barbs to be moved apart on contact of the external race of the meniscus. A tube (3) allowing the introduction of the pins and the end of which allows the shaping of the proximal barbs. A handle (4) secured by one of its branches to the end of the tube (3) receives on its other branch the different pins (2) and allows the divergent movement of the pin (2) and the tube (3).

Le dispositif représenté sur la figure 2 est un détail de la figure 1. The device shown in Figure 2 is a detail in Figure 1.

Le dispositif représenté sur la figure 3 est une forme de réalisation particulière de l'agraffe (1) comportant:Un axe rigide (la),deux ardillons malléables (lb) et un filetage distal (lc)de l'axe rigide (la).  The device represented in FIG. 3 is a particular embodiment of the staple (1) comprising: A rigid axis (la), two malleable barbs (lb) and a distal thread (lc) of the rigid axis (la) .
