CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This Application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application 61/184,361 filed on June 5, 2009 and U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 12/788,370 filed May 27, 2010, the contents of both are incorporated herein by reference.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The present invention discloses a composite plasticized patch for covering a hole in a patient's skull, such as resulting from bone disease, traumatic injury or the like. More particularly, the skull patch includes a stepped extending edge profile which is configured with undercut and bone marrow growth promoting portions. The patch is constructed of a plastic or related composite and is dimensioned so as to establish a seating engagement with a preconditioned inner facing edge profile of the skull defining a boundary of the hole
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] The incidence of skull fractures resulting in loss of bone is known in the prior art. A challenge of medically treating such conditions is in finding a suitable patch or covering for fashioning about a perimeter edge resulting from loss of skull portion, such as further resulting from disease or traumatic injury.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0004] The present invention discloses a patch for covering an aperture associated with a skull and including a plastic composite body having either a planar or arcuate shape exhibiting an extending edge profile which matches a profile associated with a reconditioned edge of the skull. A fastener extends through the edge profile for securing the body to the skull. [0005] The extending edge profile further includes a first portion and a second reduced portion separated by a shoulder, the skull exhibiting a corresponding outer skull edge portion which is fashioned using such as a medical drill. Both the inner stepped skull portion and intermediate shoulder mate with the configuration of the extending edge profile in order to establish a generally flush appearance when mounting the patch over the prepared skull perimeter edge profile.
[0006] One or more screws fasten the edge profile of the body to the skull. This can further include a bone screw with undercut engaging portion extending through the extending edge profile and associated skull location.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS [0015] Referring now to the several illustrations, Fig.l is a plan view illustration of a patch 10 installed upon a previously conditioned edge profile associated with a human skull 2 according to the present invention. As previously described, the present invention discloses a composite plasticized patch for covering a hole in a patient's skull, such as resulting from bone disease, traumatic injury or the like. [0016] More particularly, and as will be further described in detail with reference to succeeding illustrations Figs. 2A, 2B and 3, the skull patch includes a stepped extending edge
profile which is configured with undercut and bone marrow growth promoting portions. The patch 10 is constructed of a plastic or related composite, such as which can be further treated with anti-microbial materials.
[0017] The patch 10 is further dimensioned to include a main body thickness (associated with main body 10) and a reduced thickness dimension edge section 12 so as to establish a seating engagement with a pre-conditioned inner facing edge profile of the skull (see as further described in Fig. 3) defining a boundary of the hole in the skull.
[0018] As shown in the prior art view of Fig. 4, the adult skull is normally made up of twenty two bones. Except for the mandible (jaw bone), all of the bones of the skull are joined together by sutures or rigid articulations permitting very little movement. A subset of eight bones form the neurocranium (or braincase) and include the frontal, parietals, occipital bone, sphenoid, temporals and ethmoid, these collectively defining protective vault surrounding the brain. The fourteen remaining bones form the splanchnocranium supporting the face. [0019] As is also known, a damaged area of the skull can result from such as a degenerative bone disease, traumatic injury or the like. Although applicable to most bones associated with the skull, this is particularly the applicable to the larger braincase defined bones including namely again the frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital lobes.
[0020] Referring now to Fig. 2A is a partial illustration of an edge section 12 associated with the skull patch 10. The patch 10 includes a generally flattened or curved body again constructed of either a plastic or plastic composite material (such as further contemplating the incorporation of metal, ceramic or other particulate materials). The perimeter extending edge section 12 is shown in side profile and further exhibits an underside including a first edge proximate portion 14 (corresponding in thickness to the main body of the patch) in communication with the second reduced reduced thickness edge section 12 separated by an intermediate step 16. [0021] As further shown in the enlarged subset illustration of Fig. 2B, pluralities of undercut and bone marrow growth promoting portions 18 and 20 are defined along the underside facing edges of the patch corresponding to first edge proximate portion 14 and outer most reduced thickness edge portion 12 along its perimeter. The undercut growth promoting portions 18 and 20 each exhibit any desired configuration, such as exhibiting enlarged and stem displaced ends, and cover either or both the underside stepped portions on both sides of the intervening shoulder 16. Beyond that shown, the underside facing portions 18 and 20 can exhibit any other desired shape or configuration and which promotes bonding with natural bone growth associated with the previously conditioned and aperture defining edges of the skull bone.
[0022] Figure 3 is an enlarged and cutaway illustration, similar to that shown in Fig. 1, and illustrating the mating stepped profile established between the outer perimeter of the patch and a corresponding inner perimeter edge defined in the skull 2. This includes a corresponding stepped edge with first outer skull edge portion 4, a second inner upwardly stepped (increased dimension) skull portion 6 separated an intermediate shoulder 8, these mating with the configuration of the outer reduced dimension edge 12, inner proximate increased dimension portion 14 and separating shoulder 16 in order to establish smooth and relatively flush seating engagement of the patch 10 within the previously conditioned location of the skull 2. As previously described, a suitable medical drill (not shown) can be provided in order to create the desired and conditioned edge profile (such as to a previously damaged fracture or disease location) and prior to matching with an appropriately sized rigid composite plastic patch 10.
[0023] In use, the eventual dimension of the skull aperture (again in 2D profile in Fig. 3) is determined following a pre-conditioning process by which a damaged area of the bone is removed and the remaining edge is smoothed and reconditioned through the application of an appropriate medical drill and/or routing tool. At this point, the dimensions established by the resulting skull edge stepped profile are factored into the creation of the desired patch 10, and such as which can be accomplished by a molding, extrusion or suitable stamping operation. For larger sized patches, a mold template of some type may be desirous to impart a desired three dimensional shape to more accurately mimic the contour of the damaged and previously removed skull bone. [0024] At this point, and upon applying the patch 10 over the conditioned perimeter bone edge, the undercut marrow growth promoting portions 18 and 20 of the patch 10 initiate bonding with the contacting stepped surfaces 4 and 6 of the bone edge. It is further envisioned that understood that the conditioned edge surfaces 4 and 6 of the skull bone can exhibit any type of surface roughening and/or the formation of holes or apertures in order to further facilitate seating and bonding with the undercut growth promoting portion 18 and 20, thus serving both to increase the bond line strength established between the bone 2 and patch 10, as well as to promote more even alignment and seating of the patch within the conditioned bone aperture interface. [0025] Figure 3A is a subset illustration of a bone screw 22 according to one possible design and which can be utilized in the patch to skull engagement of Fig. 3. Finally, Fig. 3B is a further subset illustration showing an alternately configured bone screw 24 with undercut engaging portion 26 which extends through an edge location of the patch and associated skull location in order to fixedly secure the patch in place (see Fig. 3), such as during an intervening time interval in
which natural bone growth occurs in order to permanently fuse the patch in location over the reconditioned skull aperture.
[0026] Having described my invention, other and additional preferred embodiments will become apparent to those skilled in the art to which it pertains, and without deviating from the scope of the appended claims.
[0027] I claim:
