Abstract

This invention is related to a disk frame system (1) which enables measurement of data such as force, direction of force, deformation, direction of deformation, displacement, direction of displacement and the like created on the frames inserted into the lumbar and cervical region inside the body as long as preferred and which enables wireless transfer of these data to an external medium.

Description

INTERVERTEBRAL DISC SYSTEM WITH MONITORING CAPABILITIES
DESCRIPTION Technical Field of the Invention
This invention is related to a disk frame system which enables measurement of data such as force, direction of force, deformation, direction of deformation, displacement, direction of displacement and the like created on the frames inserted into the lumbar and cervical region inside the body as long as preferred and which enables wireless transfer of these data to an external medium.
Background of the Invention When damage happens between two vertebras due to diseases such as tumors and accidents, different surgical methods are applied for vertebras at different regions and furthermore different frames are inserted. Among these implants, the implants inserted into the neck region are called cervical and the ones inserted into the loin region are called lumber region implants. These implants are used for integrating two vertebras to each other and to maintain the paravertebral height between two neighboring bones by filling the space after surgically removing the disk-like gelatinous structure which is located between two vertebras and has shock damping features (discectomy). The main goal of the surgical operation in lumber and cervical disk disorders is to remove the herniated disk and/or compression of the bones. However, another surgical operation is needed in the later periods due to repeated loads and being subject to continuous movements. This and similar situations may cause serious traumas for the patient. In the lumber and cervical frames used today, there is no system for wireless transfer of data such as force, direction of force, deformation, direction of deformation, displacement, direction of displacement and the like created on the frames to an external medium.
Objects of the Invention
The object of the invention is to embody a disk frame system that enables measurement of data such as force, direction of force, deformation, direction of deformation, displacement, direction of displacement and the like created on the frames inserted into the lumber and cervical regions as long as preferred when inside the body.
Another object of the invention is to embody a disk frame system that enables wireless transfer of force, direction of force, deformation, direction of deformation, displacement, direction of displacement and the like created on the frames inserted into the lumber and cervical regions inside the body to an external medium.
