Description
【発明の詳細な説明】 〔産業上の利用分野〕 本発明は、人体に適用する人工股関節、人工肩関節な
どの人工関節に関するものである。The present invention relates to artificial joints such as artificial hip joints and artificial shoulder joints applied to the human body.
従来から用いられている例えば第６図（イ）に示した
如き人工関節は、寛骨などに埋入したソケット（不図
示）や該ソケットに対し回動自在に嵌合する摺動部（球
面形状）Ｋを先端に備えたステムＳとで構成されてい
る。Conventionally used artificial joints, such as that shown in FIG. 6 (a), include a socket (not shown) embedded in the hipbone and a sliding portion (spherical surface) rotatably fitted to the socket. And a stem S having a shape K at the tip.
このうちステムＳはステンレス鋼、コバルトクロム合
金などの金属から成り、長管骨Ａの骨髄腔Ｂ中に挿入
し、ステムＳと長管骨Ａとの間にセメントＣを介在させ
て固定し、一方のソケットも同様にセメントを用いて固
定するのが一般的である。Of these, the stem S is made of metal such as stainless steel or cobalt chrome alloy, and is inserted into the bone marrow cavity B of the long bone B and fixed with the cement C interposed between the stem S and the long bone B. Similarly, one of the sockets is generally fixed with cement.
しかし、セメントＣによる固定は初期においては十分
に強いものでも長期においては緩みの生じるものがあ
り、この緩みの発生が人工関節の重要な問題点となって
いる。However, the fixation by the cement C may be sufficiently strong in the initial stage but may be loosened in the long term, and the occurrence of this loosening is an important problem of the artificial joint.
緩みの原因としては、 生体という厳しい雰囲気内において、セメントＣその
ものの経時的強度劣化が早まり、セメント層にクラック
が発生すること、 長管骨Ａ、セメントＣ及びステムＳのヤング率の違い
によって荷重に受けた場合の変形量が異なり、これら３
つの材質間の接合面に剪断力が発生すること、 ステムＳと長管骨Ａの骨髄腔Ｂとのデザインの不整合
によってセメントＣの厚みが不均一となり、薄いセメン
ト層の破壊や、伝達荷重の増加が発生すること。The cause of the looseness is that the strength of the cement C deteriorates over time in a severe atmosphere such as a living body, cracks occur in the cement layer, and the difference in Young's modulus between the long bone B, the cement C, and the stem S causes a load. The amount of deformation when received by
The shear force is generated at the joint surface between the two materials, and the thickness of the cement C becomes non-uniform due to the design mismatch between the stem S and the bone marrow cavity B of the long bone B, resulting in the destruction of the thin cement layer and the transmission load. An increase in
セメントＣに空気が混存するため、セメント強度が劣
化すること、 セメントＣとステムＳ、セメントＣと骨髄腔Ｂとの界
面の接着性がないこと、 セメントＣのもつ重合熱やモノマーの流出によって骨
の破壊が進むこと、 などが上げられている。Cement C contains air, resulting in deterioration of cement strength, lack of adhesion at the interface between C and stem S, and between C and bone marrow cavity B. Is being promoted, and so on.
これらの原因を除去するための対策として、 ヤング率が骨と近いチタン合金の選択 セメント層を均一にし、セメント圧を高めるため適正
なステムデザインの考案、 セメントＣを使用せず、骨髄腔ＢへステムＳを打込む
ことによって固定するセメントレスステムの考案、 などがなされている。As a measure to eliminate these causes, select a titanium alloy whose Young's modulus is close to that of bone. Devise a proper stem design to make the cement layer uniform and raise the cement pressure. A cementless stem that is fixed by driving the stem S has been devised.
上記長管骨ＡとセメントＣ、ステムＳとの緩みの発生
を解決する有力な手段としてステムＳのデザイン（形
状）が第一に上げられるが、従来のステムＳでは、特に
長管骨Ａ骨端部付近の、骨髄腔Ｂが広がっている部分で
のステムデザインの改良の余地を残している。The design (shape) of the stem S is given as the most effective means for solving the loosening of the long bone B, the cement C, and the stem S. In the conventional stem S, the long bone B There is room for improvement of the stem design in the portion near the end where the bone marrow cavity B expands.
即ち、第６図（ハ）に示すように、従来のステムＳ
は、長管骨Ａの骨幹部付近の骨髄腔Ｂには、円錐状のス
テム遠位部S2を多種用意することによってフィットする
ことが可能であるが、第６図（ロ）に示すように骨髄部
付近の複雑形状をした骨髄腔Ｂに従来の単純なステム近
位部S1をフィットさせるには限界がある。That is, as shown in FIG. 6C, the conventional stem S
Can be fitted into the bone marrow cavity B near the diaphysis of the long bone B by preparing various conical stem distal parts S 2 , as shown in FIG. 6 (b). There is a limit to fitting the conventional simple stem proximal portion S 1 to the complicatedly shaped bone marrow cavity B near the bone marrow portion.
本発明はステムの遠位部と同様に、近位部でも骨髄腔
にフィットさせ、ステムの固定力を高め、セメントレス
固定を可能にするため、ステムの近位部に貫通の穴を設
け、該貫通穴に、両側面に突起を有する挿入体を装着
し、該突起が骨髄腔壁に当接し安定固定を図るものであ
る。The present invention, like the distal part of the stem, allows the proximal part to fit into the bone marrow cavity, enhances the fixing force of the stem, and enables a cementless fixation, so that a through hole is provided in the proximal part of the stem, An insert having protrusions on both sides is attached to the through hole, and the protrusions abut the wall of the bone marrow cavity for stable fixation.
以下、図によって本発明実施例を説明する。 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
第１図（イ）は本発明人工関節としての人工関節の例

Although contacting the stem 1 with the femoral inner wall D 1 at 5 is impossible by the conventional method, according to the present invention, it is possible to surely provide the contact point by selecting the size and shape of the insert 2. it can.
さらに、挿入体２の溝2cに海綿骨がはいり込むことに
より、骨と接するステム１の表面積が増加し、ステム１
の安定性を増し、微小な動きを防止する。Further, as the cancellous bone is inserted into the groove 2c of the insert 2, the surface area of the stem 1 in contact with the bone is increased, and the stem 1
Increases stability and prevents minute movements.
ステム１と大腿骨内壁D1との接触点を多くすること及

これにより、第３図（イ）（ロ）に図示するような大
腿骨Ｄの断面形状の違いに対応して、最も安定に挿入体
２を選択することがさらに容易となり、不定形を前提と
する骨への固定をより確実に実現することができる。As a result, it becomes easier to select the insert body 2 in the most stable manner in response to the difference in cross-sectional shape of the femur D as shown in FIGS. The fixation to the bone can be achieved more reliably.

As shown in (c), alumina, apatite or beads having a porous structure may be attached to the surface of the protrusion 2a, or a mesh body 3 such as pure titanium, titanium alloy or cobalt-chromium alloy may be attached and formed. In this case, the pore size of the porous structure should be 100 in consideration of bone growth.
It is preferably about 300 μm.
