Definitions
- the invention relates to instrumentation used during minimally invasive orthopedic surgery. More particularly, the invention relates to instruments used to create the initial access passageway into the skeletal structure being treated.
- osteoporosis and other metabolic bone conditions weaken the bone structure and predispose the bone to fracture. These same diseases also impair and prolong healing, which can lead to the formation of bone defects. If not treated, certain fractures and bone defects may progress and lead to the development of severe neurological or other medical complications.
- bone defects are those resulting from the excision of benign or malignant lesions of the skeleton. Removal of tumors often compromises the structural integrity of the bone structure and thus requires surgical stabilization and filling of the defects with biological materials such as bone grafts or cements.
- Bone defects also result from bone grafting procedures, wherein the patient's own bone is transplanted to another region of the skeleton. Healing of the defect is often retarded and painful, necessitating further treatment including filling the defect with bone substitute materials to induce healing. If not repaired, the defect may worsen or fracture due to the compromise of structural integrity of the bone.
- One approach to treating many bone defects comprises injecting, packing, or filling the defect with biocompatible bone cement.
- Such bone cements are generally formulations of non-resorbable biocompatible polymers such as PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate) or resorbable calcium phosphate or calcium sulphate cement. These cements allow the gradual replacement of the cement with living bone. Bone cements have been used successfully in the treatment of bone defects secondary to compression fractures of the distal radius, the calcaneous, the tibial plateau, and the vertebral body.
- osteoporotic compression fracture of the spine More than 700,000 osteoporotic compression fractures of the vertebrae occur each year in the United States ⁇ primarily in the elderly female population. Until recently, treatment of such fractures was limited to conservative, non-operative therapies such as bed rest, bracing, and medications.
- vertebroplasty A relatively new procedure known as "vertebroplasty" was developed in the mid 1980's to address the inadequacy of conservative treatment for vertebral body fracture. This procedure involves injecting radio-opaque bone cement directly into the fracture void through a minimally invasive cannula or needle under fluoroscopic control. The cement is pressurized by a syringe or similar plunger mechanism, thus causing the cement to fill the void and penetrate the interstices of broken trabecular bone. Once cured, the cement stabilizes the fracture and reduces pain —usually dramatically and immediately.
- An alternative technique which has gained popularity in recent years is a modified vertebroplasty technique in which a "balloon tamp" is inserted into the vertebral body via a cannula approach to expand the fractured bone and create a void within the cancellous structure.
- the tamping effect is caused by the inflation of a balloon membrane that expands, thereby producing radial force.
- the membrane leaves a void that is then filled with bone cement.
- the present invention provides instrumentation that facilitates access to both sides of the vertebral body from a single access point. More particularly, the present invention provides bendable access devices that can be steered so as to traverse the vertebral body from the point of entry into the vertebral body, through the cancellous bone within the vertebral body, and to the contralateral side of the vertebral body. This steerability is provided by forming the access device with a series of slots, grooves, or notches in the side of the access device near the distal end of the access device, which slots, grooves, or notches reduce the bending stiffness of the access device. As a result, the distal end of the access device bends as it is being advanced into the vertebral body.
- the access device comprises a solid or hollow shaft, preferably having a beveled tip which imparts a side load when the tip encounters more solid bone.
- the access device includes an actuating member, e.g., a wire that is anchored at the distal end of the access device and that extends along a side or within the center of the access device; pulling on the proximal end of the wire causes the distal end of the access device to curve laterally and move into the soft, cancellous bone.
- more than one group of slots or notches is provided, with the separate groups being circumferentially offset relative to each other; this allows the access device to bend or steer in more than just a single plane.
- hollow embodiments of the invention may be covered with a thin, flexible polymeric coating or shrink tube covering that does not increase the bending stiffness of the structure.
- the coating or shrink tube covering forms a tube to allow cement to flow through the access device to the distalmost end of the access device without leakage.
- the access device may be constructed so that its distal end is initially straight. Alternatively, the access device may be preformed with a nominal amount of initial curvature, so that the slots facilitate bending of the access device into a second, smaller-radiused curvature.
- Figs. 1 - 3 are side elevation views of a first embodiment of an access device according to the invention, illustrating progressively bending of the distal tip thereof;
- Fig. 4 is a view in the transverse plane of a vertebral body, illustrating the access device shown in Figs. 1 - 3 entering and curving through the vertebral body;
- FIGs. 5 and 7 are side elevation views of a second embodiment of an access device according to the invention, illustrating progressively bending of the distal tip thereof, with Fig. 6 being a section view of the access as taken along lines 6 -6 in Fig. 5; Fig. 8 is a view in the transverse plane of a vertebral body, illustrating the access device shown in Figs. 5- 7 entering and curving through the vertebral body; and
- Figs. 9 and 10 are a side view and a perspective view of a third embodiment of an access device according to the invention, in which the distal end of the access device curves in multiple planes simultaneously.
- a first access device 100 according to the invention is illustrated in Figures 1- 4.
- the access device 100 which allows access to the contralateral side of the vertebral body from a single intrapedicular access point, is a buckling needle, guide wire, or trocar that alters its shape from straight to curved through the action of engineered buckling zones to permit bilateral vertebral access.
- a “segmented" trocar 100 is provided in which the shaft of the trocar buckles preferentially upon mallet impact, with the trocar segments buckling from the least stiff segment first to the stiffest segment last.
- the shaft 102 of the trocar 100 which may be solid or hollow, has a number of slots or notches 104 (e.g., three or more) formed in its side at discrete locations near its distal end such that the bending stiffness of the shaft is reduced at the location of each of the slots or notches 104.
- the shaft collapses slightly, initially at the least stiff slot 106, thereby changing the axis A of the tip of the trocar shaft so that it is no longer co-axial with the remainder of the shaft.
- the slot 106 eventually closes completely as illustrated in Figure 2, thus stiffening the segment and preventing further deflection of that section of the needle, trocar, or guide wire.
- the needle alters its vector and curves into the desired location within the vertebral body VB, as illustrated in Figure 4.
- deflecting needles of increasing diameter or different radii of curvature may be introduced. These subsequently placed needles may be hollow, to be advanced into the vertebral body over an initial, solid needle, or they may be solid.
- the needle trocar 100 of the invention can be deflected in any plane desired by the surgeon.
- the needle 100 may be guided in a curving path across the vertebral body, from the side from which the vertebral body is accessed across to the contralateral side of the vertebral body. This facilitates subsequent introduction of further access devices and emplacement of vertebral stabilization devices in a generally symmetrical orientation vis-a-vis the sagital midline of the vertebral body.
- the slotted or notched needles may be prevented from deflecting during advancement by first inserting them in a protective, rigid tube.
- the slotted tubes may be prevented from deflecting during advancement by first inserting a rigid wire inside the tube, fully to the end.
- FIG. 5 -8 Another embodiment 200 of a deflectable, curving needle used to access the site of bone repair is illustrated in Figures 5 -8.
- This embodiment 200 is somewhat similar to the embodiment 100 illustrated in Figures 1 -4 and described above.
- the needle or cannula 202 which may be hollow (as illustrated) or solid, is first fully inserted to a desired depth of penetration within the vertebral body VB, then deflected into a curved orientation or configuration (as shown in Figure 8) by generating a bending moment along the side of the shaft or cannula.
- the cannula or needle shaft 202 is preferably constructed of a tubular or solid superelastic memory alloy such as nitinol and has a series of slots 204 laser-cut or micro-machined into its side to reduce bending stiffness along the tip.
- a second, smaller-diameter tube 206 is joined to the shaft 202 by welding or other joining method, prior to cutting the slots 204, and after slotting is configured as a series of tube segments 206' in the region of the tip of the cannula or needle shaft 202.
- the smaller tube and tube segments 206, 206' contain a wire or cable 208 that is affixed, e.g., by welding or melting its end into a bead 210, to the flexible, distal end of the tube 202 and to a movable fastener 212 (e.g., an internally threaded nut that mates with external threads at the proximal end of the wire or cable 208) at the other, proximal end of the device such that the length of wire or cable running along the side of the shaft 202 can be altered by means of the movable fastener 212.
- the tube or shaft 202 collapses in a manner that closes a plurality of the slots 204 on one side of the device, as illustrated in Figure 7.
- the cannula or shaft 200 When actuated, the cannula or shaft 200 generates a side load as it curves or steers to one side.
- the amount of side load generated is proportional to the axial load placed on the cable 208.
- osteoporotic bone is significantly weakened by disease, and since the strength of the bone is naturally weakest in the transverse plane, the cannula or shaft will easily deflect within the weakened structure to position the tip of the needle across the midline of the vertebral body VB, into the contralateral, anterior one-third portion of the NB.
- the cannula or shaft is made of radio-opaque materials; therefore, the position of the tip is easily visualized and optimized by the surgeon.
- the slots in the cannula or shaft are axially aligned.
- the access devices 100, 200 bend or curve within a single plane.
- a further embodiment of the invention 300 illustrated in Figures 9 and 10 has multiple sets of slots or notches 304 and 306.
- the notches 306 are circumferentially positioned 90° out of alignment with the notches 304. This feature allows the distal end of the access device 300 to curve in more than one plane simultaneously, e.g., in the XY and YZ planes, as illustrated in Figure 10.
- the access device 100 or 200 is withdrawn and the vertebral body is further prepared for remedial fixation. It will be appreciated that the described embodiments are illustrative of the invention, and that other embodiments within the scope of the invention will occur to those having skill in the art. The above-disclosed embodiments and such other embodiments are deemed to be within the scope of the following claims:
