Abstract
The invention concerns an implant (2) for replacing a vertebra at least-partially, consisting of two parts (4, 6) adapted to be mutually connected while enabling the adjustment of the implant total dimension (L), each part having an invariable dimension (m, f) homologous with the implant total dimension (L). The parts (4, 6) form a screw-nut connection with each other.
Description
IMPLANT FOR REPLACING A VERTEBRA
The invention relates to implants for replacing at least part of a vertebra, for example after ablation of the vertebra.
The document EP-0 567 424-A1 discloses an implant of this kind comprising an intermediate body and two bearing parts adapted to bear against the vertebral plates of vertebrae adjacent the space left by a vertebra that has been removed. Each bearing part is assembled to one end of the intermediate body by a screw connection so that rotation of each bearing part relative to the body varies the total length of the implant. However, it takes a relatively long time to assemble the various components of the implant. What is more, given the number of parts capable of relative movement, adjusting the length of the implant is relatively complicated and takes a long time, which increases the duration of the surgery. Finally, manufacturing the implant entails defining a large number of accurate surfaces enabling relative movement of the parts.
Manufacture is long and costly.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,723,013 relates to an implant for replacing a vertebra that is made up of two implant parts sliding one within the other. The two parts are in mutual contact through teeth enabling the length of the implant to be increased by distraction of the two parts. The length cannot be reduced, however. The length of the implant can be adjusted simply and quickly.
However, fine adjustment of the length of the implant is not possible.
An object of the invention is to provide an implant that is quick to install during surgery and that enables fine adjustment of its length.
To achieve the above object, the invention provides an implant for replacing at least part of a vertebra, the implant having two parts adapted to be joined together and enabling a total dimension of the implant to be adjusted, each part having a fixed dimension homologous to the total dimension of the implant, characterized in that the parts form a screw connection with each other.
In accordance with another aspect, the invention provides an implant for replacing at least part of a vertebra, the implant comprising two parts telescoping with respect to a longitudinal axis

What is more, given the number of parts capable of relative movement, adjusting the length of the implant is relatively complicated and takes a long time, which increases the duration of the surgery. Finally, manufacturing the implant entails defining a large number of accurate surfaces enabling relative movement of the parts.
Manufacture is long and costly.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,723,013 relates to an implant for replacing a vertebra that is made up of two implant parts sliding one within the other. The two parts are in mutual contact through teeth enabling the length of the implant to be increased by distraction of the two parts. The length cannot be reduced, however. The length of the implant can be adjusted simply and quickly.
However, fine adjustment of the length of the implant is not possible.
An object of the invention is to provide an implant that is quick to install during surgery and that enables fine adjustment of its length.
To achieve the above object, the invention provides an implant for replacing at least part of a vertebra, the implant having two parts adapted to be joined together and enabling a total dimension of the implant to be adjusted, each part having a fixed dimension homologous to the total dimension of the implant, characterized in that the parts form a screw connection with each other.
In accordance with another aspect, the invention provides an implant for replacing at least part of a vertebra, the implant comprising two parts telescoping with respect to a longitudinal axis
2 adapted to be threadably joined together and enabling a total dimension (L) of the implant to be adjusted each part having a fixed length, the two parts having respective male and female threads and forming a screw connection with each other, whereby said dimension L can be adjusted by the relative rotation of said two parts, each of the two parts respectively for contacting first and second vertebral surfaces and an anti-rotation element engageable with both of said two telescoping parts to selectively prevent the relative rotation therebetween wherein said anti-rotation element is moveable in a direction transverse to said axis and a second part of said two parts has at least one slot opening therein and a first part of said two parts having a threaded opening therein and wherein said anti-rotation device is a screw threaded into said threaded opening of said first part extending into said slotted opening in said second part.
In accordance with another aspect, the invention provides a spinal implant comprising: a first generally tubular part having a threaded inner surface and an end surface for contacting a first vertebra; a second generally tubular part having a threaded outer surface, said second part outer surface threaded into said threaded inner surface of said first part for relative movement between the parts along a longitudinal axis, said second part having an end surface for contacting a second vertebra; and an anti-rotation device connected to one of said first or second parts for selectively engaging the other of said first or second parts for selectively allowing or preventing relative rotation of said threaded surfaces said anti-rotation device moveable in a direction transverse to said longitudinal axis for said selective engagement wherein said second piece has at least one slotted opening therein and said first piece having a threaded opening therein and said anti-rotation device is a screw threaded into said threaded opening of said first piece and extending into said slotted opening in said second piece.
Accordingly, during surgery, the total dimension of the implant is adjusted by moving only the two parts of the implant relative to each other. Adjustment is therefore simple and fast. Similarly, assembling the mobile parts of the implant before or during the operation is simple and fast.
What is more, the number of surfaces enabling relative movement of the parts is reduced.
Because the surfaces concerned are very accurate surfaces, fabrication of the implant is easy and its cost is low. The screw connection enables fine adjustment of the length of the implant.

FIGS. l and 2 are perspective views of a first embodiment of an implant according to the invention respectively before and after assembly;
FIG. 3 is a side view of one variant of the first embodiment;
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of an implant according to the invention before assembly; and FIGS. 5 and 6 are two side views of the implant shown in FIG. 4 after assembly.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, in a first embodiment of the invention the implant 2 has two parts 4, 6.
Each part 4, 6 includes a cylindrical tubular one-piece body 8, 10 that has an axis 9. The body 8, also referred to as the male body, is adapted to penetrate into the body 10, also referred to as the female body, in a direction parallel to the axis 9. The male body 8 is threaded externally and the female body 10 is threaded internally to cooperate with the male body and provide a screw connection. A side wall of the male body 8 has identical rectilinear elongate openings or slots 12 of constant width that are parallel to each other and to the axis 9. Each extends more than half the length of the body 8 in a direction parallel to the axis 9. They are distributed all around that axis.
A side wall of the female body 10 has a series of circular fixing openings or slots 14 that are identical to each other and lie in a common plane perpendicular to the axis 9 and in the vicinity of a proximal edge of the female body through which the male body 8 penetrates into the female body 10. The circular openings 14 are threaded. The diameter of the circular openings 14 is equal
5 to the width of the elongate openings 12. The female part 6 has a fixing screw 16 adapted to cooperate with the circular openings 14 to provide a screw connection.
The female body has an end wall including circular openings 18 at a distal edge of the female body that is opposite the proximal edge in the axial direction 9. The distal edge of the female body has teeth 19 extending away from the proximal edge. The wall of the female body 10 has other circular openings 18 which are not threaded between the distal edge and the fixing openings 14.
The wall of the male body 8 has an internal thread in the vicinity of a distal edge opposite the proximal edge adapted to penetrate into the female body. The male part 4 includes a cap 22 comprising a threaded cylindrical wall for fixing it by means of a screw connection to the threaded distal edge of the male body. The cap 22 has an end wall perpendicular to the axis 9 and including circular openings 18 and teeth 19 directed away from the male body 8. The threads of the cap 22 and of the distal edge of the male body 8 are just long enough to rigidly fix the cap 22 onto the male body 8 in an axial abutting relationship so that the cap can be separated from the body 8 by very slightly rotating it about the axis 9, for example by rotating it through one or two turns. When the cap 22 is not abutted on the distal edge it is connected to the body 8 with play.
The various positions of the cap 22 relative to the body 8 when their threads are in mesh do not significantly change the length of the male part 4 along the axis 9 because the threads have a very small inclination to the axis 9. The male and female parts have respective fixed lengths m and f parallel to the axis 9.
To assemble the implant 2, the cap 22 is fixed to the body 8 to constitute the male part 4. The male part 4 is then inserted in the female part 6 with their respective threads meshing. Both threads are very long to provide a wide choice as to the length over which the male part 4 penetrates into the female part 6. Because of the screw connection, relative rotation of the male
The female body has an end wall including circular openings 18 at a distal edge of the female body that is opposite the proximal edge in the axial direction 9. The distal edge of the female body has teeth 19 extending away from the proximal edge. The wall of the female body 10 has other circular openings 18 which are not threaded between the distal edge and the fixing openings 14.
The wall of the male body 8 has an internal thread in the vicinity of a distal edge opposite the proximal edge adapted to penetrate into the female body. The male part 4 includes a cap 22 comprising a threaded cylindrical wall for fixing it by means of a screw connection to the threaded distal edge of the male body. The cap 22 has an end wall perpendicular to the axis 9 and including circular openings 18 and teeth 19 directed away from the male body 8.

When the cap 22 is not abutted on the distal edge it is connected to the body 8 with play.
The various positions of the cap 22 relative to the body 8 when their threads are in mesh do not significantly change the length of the male part 4 along the axis 9 because the threads have a very small inclination to the axis 9. The male and female parts have respective fixed lengths m and f parallel to the axis 9.
To assemble the implant 2, the cap 22 is fixed to the body 8 to constitute the male part 4. The male part 4 is then inserted in the female part 6 with their respective threads meshing. Both threads are very long to provide a wide choice as to the length over which the male part 4 penetrates into the female part 6. Because of the screw connection, relative rotation of the male
6 and female parts adjusts the total length L of the implant in the direction parallel to the axis 9.
The length L corresponds to the distance between the two vertebral plates between which the implant is to be installed. When the length L suited to the intervertebral space to be occupied is obtained, the screw 16 is inserted in one of the fixing openings 14 in the female body 6 which coincides with an elongate opening 12 in the male body 4. If there is no such coincidence, all that is required to bring about such coincidence is to turn the two parts relative to each other by a very small fraction of one turn, thanks to the elongate shape of the openings 12. The screw 16 is inserted as far as the corresponding elongate opening 12, which prevents subsequent relative rotation of the two parts. Finally, the screw 16 is tightened until its head bears against the female body 6. The adjustment of the distance L and the fixing of the screw 16 are carried out at least in part with the implant 2 in situ, occupying the space left by the vertebra that has been partly or totally removed. The distal edges of the male and female parts then bear against the respective vertebral plates of two vertebrae adjacent the latter space. The teeth 19 ensure a good grip of the implant 2 on the plates and facilitate osteointegration of the implant. All the openings 12, 14, 18 1 S of the implant facilitate osteosynthesis for the purpose of osteointegration.
In the FIG. 3 variant, the distal edges carrying the teeth are in planes inclined to the plane perpendicular to the axis 9 to allow for the inclined configuration of the vertebral plates of some vertebrae.
Refernng to FIGS. 4 to 6, in the second embodiment, in which the reference numbers of corresponding components are increased by 100, the two parts 104, 106 of the implant provide a male-female coupling with a screw connection, as previously. Each distal edge and the teeth it carries are now in one piece with the corresponding body. The male part 104 is in one piece. The male part 104 and the female part 106 have no end walls and the ends of the implant associated with the distal edges are open.
The proximal edge of the female part 6 has a slot 130 in a plane perpendicular to the axis 109 and in the shape of a circular arc subtending an angle about the axis greater than 180°, for example equal to 200°. The slot 130 therefore delimits a flange 132 carrying the proximal edge and forming an uninterrupted circular collar which can move relative to the remainder of the
The length L corresponds to the distance between the two vertebral plates between which the implant is to be installed. When the length L suited to the intervertebral space to be occupied is obtained, the screw 16 is inserted in one of the fixing openings 14 in the female body 6 which coincides with an elongate opening 12 in the male body 4. If there is no such coincidence, all that is required to bring about such coincidence is to turn the two parts relative to each other by a very small fraction of one turn, thanks to the elongate shape of the openings 12.

The teeth 19 ensure a good grip of the implant 2 on the plates and facilitate osteointegration of the implant. All the openings 12, 14, 18 1 S of the implant facilitate osteosynthesis for the purpose of osteointegration.
In the FIG. 3 variant, the distal edges carrying the teeth are in planes inclined to the plane perpendicular to the axis 9 to allow for the inclined configuration of the vertebral plates of some vertebrae.
Refernng to FIGS. 4 to 6, in the second embodiment, in which the reference numbers of corresponding components are increased by 100, the two parts 104, 106 of the implant provide a male-female coupling with a screw connection, as previously. Each distal edge and the teeth it carries are now in one piece with the corresponding body. The male part 104 is in one piece. The male part 104 and the female part 106 have no end walls and the ends of the implant associated with the distal edges are open.
The proximal edge of the female part 6 has a slot 130 in a plane perpendicular to the axis 109 and in the shape of a circular arc subtending an angle about the axis greater than 180°, for example equal to 200°. The slot 130 therefore delimits a flange 132 carrying the proximal edge and forming an uninterrupted circular collar which can move relative to the remainder of the
7 body by elastic deformation of a junction part 133 connecting the remainder of the body to the flange. On either side of the slot 130, and opposite the junction part, the flange and the body have respective facing lobes 134 projecting from the outside face of the female body 106. The lobes 134 have respective conduits with a common axis 136 parallel to the axis 109. The female part includes a screw 116 adapted to be inserted through the flange 132 into the two conduits to engage with a thread of the conduit in the body 110, a head of the screw abutting on the lobe of the flange.
The lateral walls of the male and female bodies have triangular openings 138 that extend from one of the corresponding proximal and distal edges to the other. The triangular openings 138 on each male and female part are alternately inverted relative the axis 109 to define between them branches 140 connecting the distal edge to the proximal edge, both of which are circular and uninterrupted. These very large openings 138 ensure that the implant 102 is highly visible in X-rays and encourage osteointegration.
The length L of the implant is chosen by relative rotation of the two parts 104, 106, as 1 S previously. When the desired length L is reached, the screw 116 is tightened to move the flange 132 towards the body 106 by virtue of elastic deformation of the junction part 133. Because of the screw connection between the flange 132 and the male body 104 and the screw connection between the male body 104 and the female body 106, this movement over a very short distance achieves rigid wedging of the male and female parts relative to each other.
Alternatively, the fixing by the screw 116 could be such that the wedging effect is achieved by movement of the flange 132 away from the female body 106.
The implant 2, 102 according to the invention enables a bone graft to be fitted between two vertebral plates when total or partial corporectomy and ablation of the overlying or underlying intervertebral discs have been carned out. Once adjusted to the size of the space to be filled, by choosing its length L, the implant 2, 102 is filled with bone, generally taken from the patient.
This achieves a graft and braces the spinal column.
