Description

椎間植入物及其製備方法 Intervertebral implant and preparation method thereof

本發明係關於一種醫療植入體之技術領域,具體而言係指一種局部可降解且呈多孔型態之椎間植入物,藉以組成局部可降解之氫氧基磷灰石及金屬混合塊材,從而引導骨再生且形成穩固上、下部骨頭融合之效果。 The present invention relates to the technical field of a medical implant, specifically refers to a partially degradable and porous intervertebral implant, thereby forming a locally degradable mixed block of hydroxide apatite and metal Materials to guide bone regeneration and form a solid fusion of upper and lower bones.

按,腰椎椎間融合術,意指從兩節脊椎中取出椎間盤,然後把二者融合起來。這個步驟又名為「脊柱融合術」。通常用於治療由脊椎退化、椎間盤突出等脊柱病而引致的持續背痛、坐骨神經痛或雙腿酸軟無力等病患。脊柱融合也是矯正脊柱畸形(如脊柱側彎、脊椎滑脫或脊柱創傷等)手術的其中重要環節。 Pressing, lumbar interbody fusion, means removing the disc from two vertebrae and then fusing the two together. This step is also called "spine fusion". It is commonly used to treat patients with persistent back pain, sciatica, or sore legs caused by spinal diseases such as spinal degeneration and disc herniation. Spinal fusion is also an important part of surgery to correct spinal deformities (such as scoliosis, spondylolisthesis, or spinal trauma).

如果修復骨組織的種植體(或用以修復骨組織之植入物)在提供支撐功能的同時是生物可吸收的,在實際應用上會有極大的好處。現有的脊柱融合裝置是由一個金屬骨架和置於其內的生物可吸收材料組成的,例如美國專利號5,645,598所示的裝置。惟,該些用以修復骨組織之種植體係置於兩節脊椎骨之間,卻礙於該種植體本身硬度不足及相對體積小於該脊椎骨,致使該種植體產生下沉現象,反而相互磨損甚至破壞了脊椎骨與脊 椎骨之間的骨組織,特別是對脊椎骨的末端平面更是帶來嚴重傷害。 If an implant that repairs bone tissue (or an implant used to repair bone tissue) is bioabsorbable while providing support, it will have great benefits in practical applications. The existing spinal fusion device is composed of a metal skeleton and a bioabsorbable material placed therein, such as the device shown in US Patent No. 5,645,598. However, these implant systems for repairing bone tissue are placed between the two vertebrae, but the implant itself is insufficient in hardness and the relative volume is smaller than the vertebrae, causing the implant to sink, and instead wear and even damage each other. Vertebrae and spine The bone tissue between the vertebrae, especially the end plane of the vertebrae, causes serious damage.

另,目前用於組織工程學技術的支架(大部分由可生物降解的聚合物製成)具有多孔的結構可以允許細胞培養過程中活體細胞(通常取自治療中的患者)滲入結構內。經過一段時間的細胞培養,此種有細胞的支架被植入去除免疫系統的動物(例如大鼠)或患者本人體內(為便於後續操作通常是在皮下)。在此期間(數周到數月)細胞吸收動物或患者體內提供的營養成分而迅速繁殖,同時支架本身逐漸溶解吸收。之後,就從動物或患者的皮下取出種植體(一個真正的骨組織),重新植入需要治療的(受傷或患病)部位。例如US6,139,578;US6,200,606;US5,306,303和US6,132,463等案所描述者。 In addition, the scaffolds currently used for tissue engineering techniques (mostly made of biodegradable polymers) have a porous structure that allows living cells (usually taken from patients under treatment) to penetrate into the structure during cell culture. After a period of cell culture, such a scaffold with cells is implanted in an animal (such as a rat) or the patient who has the immune system removed (usually under the skin to facilitate subsequent operations). During this period (weeks to months), the cells absorb nutrients provided by the animal or patient and rapidly multiply, while the scaffold itself gradually dissolves and absorbs. After that, the implant (a real bone tissue) is removed from the animal or patient's skin and re-implanted into the area that needs treatment (injury or disease). For example, those described in US 6,139,578; US 6,200,606; US 5,306,303 and US 6,132,463.

但,如果用於組織工程技術的支架可被生物吸收、有充足的孔隙同時又可以提供支援,那麼這樣的材料就有很大的優越性。其中如中國專利CN 119346A:一種含有成孔劑的多孔磷酸鈣骨水泥,其特徵在於是由常規的磷酸鈣骨水泥和成孔劑所組成,所說的成孔劑為微溶性鹽、酸式鹽和鹼式鹽或表面活性劑中的一種或一種以上。但其為無固定型態骨水泥,其機械強度差,無法單獨使用作為骨融合物。 However, if the scaffold used in tissue engineering technology is bioabsorbable, has sufficient porosity and can provide support, then such a material has great advantages. Among them, such as Chinese Patent CN 119346A: a porous calcium phosphate bone cement containing a pore-forming agent, characterized by being composed of a conventional calcium phosphate bone cement and a pore-forming agent, the pore-forming agent is a slightly soluble salt, acid One or more of salts and basic salts or surfactants. However, it is an unfixed bone cement, which has poor mechanical strength and cannot be used alone as a bone fusion.

又如中國專利CN 101099873A:一種多孔鎂/羥基磷灰石的生產工藝方法,其特徵是將羥基磷灰石粉和鎂粉按比例混合,冷壓成型,然後進行燒結,鎂在高溫下發生汽化、被蒸發,使羥基磷灰石形成多孔狀。惟鎂高溫移除後,僅剩多孔氫氧基磷灰石本體,一樣存在有機械強度差的問題。 Another example is the Chinese patent CN 101099873A: A production method of porous magnesium / hydroxyapatite, which is characterized in that hydroxyapatite powder and magnesium powder are mixed in proportion, cold-pressed and then sintered, and magnesium is vaporized at high temperature It is evaporated to make hydroxyapatite porous. However, after the magnesium is removed at high temperature, only the porous hydroxyapatite body remains, which also has the problem of poor mechanical strength.

另如中國專利CN 101797400A:一種含有HA奈米粉多孔可降解鎂合金骨支架材料,其特徵在於,所述的多孔可降解鎂合金骨支架材料由加入微量細化Zn晶粒的鎂粉、HA奈米粉,以及造孔劑組成,期中,鎂鋅合金粉微50~80%,HA奈米粉為10~20%,造孔劑組成,其中,鎂鋅合金粉微50~80%,HA奈米粉為10~20%,造孔劑為10~30%。惟鎂高溫移除後,僅剩多孔氫氧基磷灰石本體,一樣存在有機械強度差的問題。 Another example is the Chinese patent CN 101797400A: a porous degradable magnesium alloy bone scaffold material containing HA nano-powder, characterized in that the porous degradable magnesium alloy bone scaffold material is composed of magnesium powder and HA nanoparticles added with a small amount of refined Zn grains The composition of rice flour and pore-forming agent. In the interim, magnesium-zinc alloy powder is 50 ~ 80%, HA nano-powder is 10-20%. The pore-forming agent is composed of magnesium-zinc alloy powder 50-80%, HA nano-powder 10 ~ 20%, the pore-forming agent is 10 ~ 30%. However, after the magnesium is removed at high temperature, only the porous hydroxyapatite body remains, which also has the problem of poor mechanical strength.

再者,常規高溫(通常>1000℃)燒結的孔狀羥基磷灰石(HA)材料不具備足夠的微米/納米級的孔隙並且難以被生物體吸收。另一方面,常規用於骨架的可生物降解聚合物又有強度相對較低和溶解速率太高的缺點。換言之在考量輕量化、增加生物性結合的前題下,有必要發展能促進骨引導之連通多孔金屬醫材。 Furthermore, conventional high-temperature (usually> 1000 ° C) sintered porous hydroxyapatite (HA) materials do not have sufficient micro / nano-scale pores and are difficult to be absorbed by organisms. On the other hand, the biodegradable polymers conventionally used for backbones have the disadvantages of relatively low strength and too high dissolution rate. In other words, under the prerequisite of considering light weight and increasing biological integration, it is necessary to develop connected porous metal medical materials that can promote bone guidance.

本案發明人鑑於上述習用促進骨引導之連通多孔金屬醫材所衍生的各項缺點,乃亟思加以改良創新,終於成功研發完成本件一種椎間植入物。 In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings derived from the conventional porous metal medical materials that promote bone guidance, the inventor of the present case is eager to improve and innovate, and finally successfully developed this intervertebral implant.
