Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Facettengelenkimplantat mit zwei flächig aneinanderliegenden, flächigen Gelenkflächen-Ersatzelementen.The The invention relates to a facet joint implant with two flat contiguous, flat Articular surface replacement elements.
Die Facettengelenke stellen eine bedeutende Ursache für die Entstehung von Rückenschmerzen dar. Abhilfe schaffen kann man durch den Ersatz des gesamten Facettengelenkes oder durch den Ersatz der Facettengelenkflächen nach Entfernung der Schmerz verursachenden Gelenkkapseln und Knorpelschichten.The Facet joints represent a significant cause of the genesis of back pain You can remedy this by replacing the entire facet joint or by replacing the facet joint surfaces after removal of the pain causing joint capsules and cartilage layers.
Es ist bekannt, die Facetten benachbarter Wirbelkörper dauerhaft fest miteinander zu verbinden und so die Bewegung der beiden Wirbelkörper in dem Facettengelenk zu unterbinden, dies hat jedoch Bewegungseinschränkungen für den Patienten zur Folge.It It is known that the facets of adjacent vertebrae are permanently attached to each other to connect and so the movement of the two vertebral bodies in the Facet joint to stop, but this has restrictions on movement for the Patients result.
Es ist auch bekannt, die Gelenkflächen des Facettengelenkes durch Gelenkflächen-Ersatzelemente zu ersetzen, in der Regel sind dies dünne Plättchen, die an die Facetten angelegt und mit diesen verbunden werden und die flächig an der benachbarten Facette oder der Gelenkflächen-Ersatzfläche an der benachbarten Facette anliegen. Allerdings ist es schwierig, diese Facettengelenk-Ersatzflächen zu implantieren. Außerdem besteht Bedarf daran, die Bewegung der aneinanderliegenden Gelenkflächen-Ersatzelemente relativ zueinander zu begrenzen. Schließlich ist es auch von Bedeutung, dass ein derartiges Implantat keine allzu große Baugröße aufweist, damit das Implantat durch kleine Zugangsöffnungen an dem Implantationsort gebracht werden kann.It is also known, the articular surfaces to replace the facet joint with articular surface replacement elements, usually these are thin platelets, which are applied to the facets and connected to them and the area on the adjacent facet or articular surface at the abut adjacent facet. However, this is difficult Facet joint replacement surfaces to implant. Furthermore There is a need for the movement of the adjacent articular surface replacement elements to limit relative to each other. Finally, it is also important that Such an implant does not have too large a size, so that the implant through small access openings can be brought to the implantation site.
Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein gattungsgemäßes Facettengelenkimplantat so auszugestalten, dass die genannten Vorteile erzielt werden können.It Object of the invention, a generic facet joint implant in such a way that the stated advantages can be achieved.
Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Facettengelenkimplantat der eingangs beschriebenen Art erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass beide Gelenkflächen-Ersatzelemente mindestens einen in der Ebene des Gelenkflächen-Ersatzelementes aus diesem austretenden und von diesem abstehenden Arm tragen und dass jeweils zwei paarweise nebeneinander verlaufende Arme der beiden Gelenkflächen-Ersatzelemente an ihren von dem Gelenkflächen-Ersatzelement entfernten Ende miteinander verbunden sind.These The object is a facet joint implant of the type described above Type according to the invention thereby solved, that both articular surfaces replacement elements at least one in the plane of the articular surface replacement element emerging from this and carry from this protruding arm and that two in pairs side by side extending arms of the two articular surface replacement elements at their from the articular surface replacement element distant end are connected.
Durch die Verbindung der beiden Gelenkflächen-Ersatzelemente über die nebeneinander liegenden und von den Gelenkflächen-Ersatzelementen abstehenden Arme wird das Implantat zu einer Baueinheit, die als solche relativ einfach implantiert werden kann. Außerdem begrenzen die Arme die Bewegung der Gelenkflächen-Ersatzelemente relativ zueinander, so dass diese – flächig aneinanderliegend – nicht beliebig gegeneinander verschoben werden können, sondern unter Einschränkung der Bewegung durch die beiden miteinander verbundenen Arme.By the connection of the two articular surface replacement elements over the adjacent and projecting from the articular surface replacement elements Arms, the implant becomes a structural unit, as such relative can be easily implanted. In addition, the arms limit the Movement of articular surface replacement elements relative to each other, so that these - lying flat - not can be moved freely against each other, but under restriction of movement through the two connected arms.
Bei einer ersten bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass die beiden nebeneinander verlaufenden Arme der beiden Gelenkflächen-Ersatzelemente einstückig miteinander verbunden sind.at a first preferred embodiment is provided that the two arms running side by side the two articular surface replacement elements one piece connected to each other.
Es kann weiterhin vorgesehen sein, dass der aus einem Gelenkflächen-Ersatzelement austretende Arm einstückig mit dem Gelenkflächen-Ersatzelement verbunden ist.It can also be provided that the from a joint surface replacement element leaking arm in one piece with the articular surface replacement element connected is.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist der Arm bandförmig ausgebildet.According to one preferred embodiment the arm band-shaped educated.
Dabei ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Band und das Gelenkflächen-Ersatzelement im Austrittsbereich des Bandes in einer Ebene verlaufen.there it is advantageous if the band and the articular surface replacement element in the exit area of the band in a plane.
Es kann weiterhin vorteilhaft sein, dass das Band und das Gelenkflächen-Ersatzelement im Austrittsbereich gleich dick ausgebildet sind.It may also be advantageous that the band and the articular surface replacement element are formed the same thickness in the exit area.
Insbesondere können die beiden Arme durch ein durchgehendes Band gebildet werden.Especially can the two arms are formed by a continuous band.
Das Band kann dabei eine U-förmige Schlaufe bilden.The Band can be a U-shaped Forming a loop.
Bei einer anderen bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass das Band im Verknüpfungsbereich der beiden Arme wellenförmig verläuft, so dass dadurch eine Federwirkung eintritt.at another preferred embodiment It is envisaged that the band in the linking area of the two arms wavy runs, so that thereby a spring effect occurs.
Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform wird das Gelenkflächen-Ersatzelements durch einen verbreiterten Endabschnitt eines Armes gebildet.at a preferred embodiment becomes the articular surface replacement element formed by a widened end portion of an arm.
Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist im Verbindungsbereich der beiden Arme ein Federelement angeordnet, welches die beiden Arme federnd miteinander verbindet.at a preferred embodiment a spring element is arranged in the connection region of the two arms, which connects the two arms resiliently.
Das Federelement kann beispielsweise durch einen elastischen Abschnitt der Arme selbst gebildet werden oder aber durch ein separates, zwischen den Armen angeordnetes Bauteil.The Spring element, for example, by an elastic portion the arms themselves are formed or by a separate, intermediate the arm arranged component.
Bei einer anderen Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass die beiden Arme im Verbindungsbereich scharnierförmig miteinander verbunden sind. Dabei kann die Scharnierart verschieden sein, es kann sich um ein echtes Scharnier mit Wellenlagerung handeln, um ein Filmscharnier oder auch um ein nach allen Richtungen verschwenkbares Scharnier, das beispielsweise als Kugelgelenk ausgeführt sein kann.In another embodiment, it is provided that the two arms are connected to each other in the hinge region hinged. The hinge type can be different, it can be a real hinge with shaft bearing, a hinge or even a pivotable in all directions hinge, which can be designed for example as a ball joint.
