Abstract
A short main incision and portal incisions at portal positions strategically displaced from the main incision are provided in a patient's hip. One portal incision (acetabular portal) provides for a disposition of reamers in the patient's acetabulum to shape the acetabulum. A cannula is inserted through the portal incision to the acetabulum and the successive reamers of progressive size are inserted into the acetabulum through the main incision to progressively size and shape the acetabulum. An approximately hemispherical acetabular component is then disposed in the prepared acetabulum to provide for hip rotation relative to the femoral component. The other portal incision (femoral portal) provides for insertion into the patient's hip of a member for driving the femoral stem into a cavity in the patient's femur. The provision of the short main incision and the portal incision minimizes the patient's loss of blood, tissue trauma, length of operating time and patient recovery time.
Description
- This invention relates to a method of providing a replacement for a patient's hip with a minimal loss of blood, minimal tissue trauma and a minimal length of operating time and patient recovery time. The invention also relates to a tool which is need in the method constituting this invention.
- Great progress has been made in the field of hip replacements. Considering that hip replacements may not even have existed a generation ago, hip replacements, particularly among the elderly, are now relatively common. In spite of the considerable progress which has been made, hip replacement operations are still relatively crude. For example, an incision of a relatively great length still has to be made in a patient's hip as one of the first steps in a hip replacement operation. The incision may be as long as approximately eight inches (8″) to approximately twelve inches (12″). Such a large incision has caused patients to lose large amounts of blood and to suffer significant trauma. It has caused the length of the operation and the patient recovery time to be relatively long.
- A minimal length main incision (e.g., approximately1{fraction (1/2)}″-3″ long) and two portal incisions (each significantly less than 1″ long) strategically displaced from the main incisions are provided in a patient's hip. A cannula is inserted through the portal incision to the acetabulum and a shaft is inserted through the cannula. A reamer is disposed through the main incision in the acetabulum and coupled to the shaft to ream the acetabulum when the shaft is rotated. Reamers of progressive size are then coupled to the shaft to progressively shape and size a socket in the acetabulum. An approximately hemispherical acetabular component is then disposed in the acetabulum to provide for hip rotation relative to the femur. The other portal (femoral portal) incision provides for a preparation of an insertion of a member into the patient's hip for preparing a femoral canal and then driving the femoral stem into a cavity in the patient's femur.
- The provision of the main incision and the portal incisions minimizes the patient's loss of blood, tissue trauma, length of operating time and patient recovery time.

Theincision 14 may be an acetabular portal incision, may be on one side of the main incision and may be significantly less than one half inch ({fraction (1/2)}″) in length. Theincision 16 may be a femoral incision, may be on the other side of themain incision 12 from theacetabular incision 14 and may also be significantly less than one half inch ({fraction (1/2)}″) in length. Theportal incisions - A tool generally indicated at18 is shown in FIG. 2. The
tool 18 may illustratively be used to locate the position of theportal incision 14. Thetool 18 includes apositioning member 20 which may preferably have a hemispherical configuration to fit in an acetabulum 22 (FIG. 4) when the position of theacetabular portal incision 14 is being determined. A loopedextension portion 24 extends from thepositioning member 20. Theportion 24 is preferably looped to extend through themain incision 12 to a position external to the patient'ship 10 and then to extend to a position approximating the position of theacetabular portal incision 14. It will be appreciated that the loopedportion 24 may have a different configuration than that shown in FIG. 2 provided that the right end in FIG. 2 has a position corresponding substantially to that shown in FIG. 2. Amarker member 26 such as a stylus attached to the looped portion at the right end of the loopedportion 24 in FIG. 2. Themarker member 26 is retained by aholder 28. As will be seen, theholder 28 and themarker member 26 have a substantially identical axial relationship with thepositioning member 20. - A first step in the performance of applicant's method is shown in FIG. 3. In this step, a
cutter 30 is used to provide themain incision 12. This incision is preferably made anterior to, directly over or posterior to the greater trochanter. It will accordingly be appreciated that the positioning of themain incision 12 is somewhat discretionary. FIG. 4 is a somewhat schematic view showing the approximate positioning of themain incision 12 relative to the positioning of the patient'ship bone 32 andfemur 34. - FIG. 5 shows the
hip bone 32 and theacetabulum 22 in the hip bone. FIG. 5 also shows the disposition of thetool 18 with thepositioning member 20 in theacetabulum 22. In this disposition, themarker member 26 abuts the patient'sskin 36 in the region of the patient's hip and causes amark 38 to be produced on the patient's skin. This mark indicates the position to be provided for theacetabular portal incision 12. FIG. 6 illustrates the positioning of acannula 40 so that it extends through theacetabular incision 12 at themark 38 in the direction toward the axis of thepositioning member 20. - FIG. 7 shows a
shaft 42 extending through thecannula 40 and coupled to areamer 44 which is disposed in theacetabulum 22. A motor 46 drives the shaft in one rotary direction to operate thereamer 44. The rotary movement of theshaft 42 is indicated at 48. As will be appreciated, theacetabulum 22 is sequentially reamed byreamers 44 of progressively increasing size. This is illustrated at 44 a in FIG. 7 and at 44 a and 44 b in FIG. 8. It may also be seen by comparing the size of thereamers acetabulum 22 has the desired shape, size and smoothness, a hemispherical shell (acetabular component or a trial component) 45 (FIG. 11) is introduced into the acetabulum 22 to provide a pivotal relationship with the femoral head. This may be accomplished by applying amallet 50 to the shaft extending thru thecannula 40 as illustrated schematically at 50 in FIG. 11. - FIGS.12-15 relate to the formation of the femoral
portal incision 16 and the use of this incision in connection with the disposition of thefemoral stem 52 in a cavity 54 (FIG. 15) in thefemur 34. As shown in FIG. 12, a tool generally indicated at 56 is provided to determine the position of the femoralportal incision 16. Thetool 56 is similar in a number of respects to thetool 18. For example, thetool 56 may include anextension portion 58 and a marker member 60 respectively corresponding in configuration to theextension portion 24 and themarker member 26 in FIG. 2. The dimensions of theextension portion 58 may be different from those of theextension portion 24. Thetool 56 may also be provided with adrive member 62 at the end opposite the marker member 60. Thedrive member 62 may have a finger configuration. The marker member 60 and thedrive member 62 preferably are disposed on the same axis. When thedrive member 62 is inserted into themain incision 12 and is disposed against thefemoral stem 52, the marker member 60 makes a mark 63 a long scalpel blade may be passed thru this portal locator sleeve to indicate the position of the femoralportal incision 16 as shown in FIG. 12. A relatively long scalpel blade may then be passed through this portal locator sleeve. - A cannula64 (FIG. 13) is then inserted through the femoral
portal incision 16 to a position adjacent thefemoral stem 32. If soft tissues permit, a cannula need not always be used. Arasp 66 or, a reamer, a drill or a tamp is passed through thecannula 64 into thecavity 54 in thefemur 34 and is operated to prepare the walls of the cavity to receive the femur. In the claims, the term “rasp” is intended to include a reamer, drill or tamp or other suitable component. Therasp 66, or, a reamer, a drill or a tamp is then withdrawn from thecannula 64 and a drive member 68 (FIG. 14) is inserted through the cannula to abut the femoral stem. This is shown in FIG. 14. Amallet 70 in FIG. 15 is then applied against thedrive member 68 to move thefemoral stem 52 into thecavity 54 in thefemur 34. This is shown in FIG. 15. - Although this invention has been disclosed and illustrated with reference to particular preferred embodiments, the principles involved are susceptible for use in numerous other embodiments which will be apparent to persons of ordinary skill in the art. The invention is, therefore, to be limited only as indicated by the scope of the appended claims.
