INTRAMEDULLARY CAVITY NAIL FOR THE TREATMENT
OF F~AC~RE8 OF THB HIP

TECENICAL FIE~D

The present invention relates to an intramedullary cavity nail for the treatment of proximal femoral fractures of the type comprisinq a solid elongate body having a proximal portion with at least one hole for accommodating corresponding screws for stabilization of the femloral neck, united to a distal portion with at least one distal hole for accommodating at least one diaphysis screw for stabilization of the distal part of the femur.

The invention also concerns an instrument for the installation of the nail in the medullary canal of the femur.

BACl~GRCIIJND ARq~ ' It: is known that among geriatric patients pertrochanteric fractures are the most frequent in connection with those of the region of the neck of the bone. In fact, the advanced age and the pathologies which are encountered in these patients make necessary a timely stabilization of skeletal injurie~ in order to reduce to a minimu~l the bed confinement and the rehabilitation time~
by means of interventions which are less sanguinary and invasive as possible. In fact, it is necessary to avoid the co~lplications brought about by the so-called immobilization syndrome, which may be lethal for patients in delicate metabolical compensation; and it is necessary to reduce to a minimum blood losses related to surgical intervention.

At the same time, the syntheses means utilized must be stable in order to allow the patient to very timely assume a seated position and, two or three days following the intervention, to reassume an erect posture with progressive weight.

L0 A known technique for the consolidation of intertrochanteric, pertrochanteric, and subtrochanteric fractures of the femur involves the use of tubular intramedullary cavity nails with a proximal portion bent by some degrees in a medial-lateral plane with respect to a smaller diameter diaphysis portion in order to adapt to t*p363Xthe physiological curvature of the femur. Sometimes, the curvature is present in two mutually orthogonal planes in order to favor further adaptation to the medullary cavity of the bone.

The known tubular nails are generally fixed by means of tw~o diaphysis nails in order to block the rotation of the nail and one or two cephalic screws for compressing the sipongy tissue in the focus fracture.

A first drawback of known intramedullary cavity nails of the above-described type resides in the fact that they have both a proximal part and a distal part of relatively elevated diameter, generally greater than 10-mm, and therefore their installation requires complex drilling of the bone for the entire length of the nail and can provoke internal stresses of the bone.

Moreover, the diaphysis screws are rather close to the d:istal end of the nail and can provoke stress concentrations and rupture of the femur at the base of the nail.

Finally, the cephalic screws are normally mutually paral:Lel and therefore the head can be subject to slipping, with consequent loss of stability of the fracture.

BRIEF ~TA~ OF TH~ lNv~ ON

A principal aim of the present invention is to eliminate or at least reduce the above-described drawbacks by providing an intramedullary cavity nail which has characteristics of elevated strength, reliability and biocompatibility, and which is minimally invasive.

~ particular aim is to provide an intramedullary cavity nail which requires minimum bone-drilling operations and skin incisions, thereby to limit blood loss and operating intervention and rehabilitation times.

A further aim is to provide an intramedullary cavity nail of elevated biocompatibility and of reduced cost.

Another further aim is to provide an intramedullary cavity nail which is easily installable in the medullary canal, using an extremely simplified and effective instrument.

;~5 In accordance with one preferred aspect of the invention, an intramedullary cavity nail of the indicated type is characterized by the fact that said proximal portion has a substantially constant diameter that is adapted to be stably anchored in a relatively limited-length bore of the femur, thereby reducing blood loss, while! said distal portion has a substantially constant diame!ter smaller than that of said proximal portion, such that the distal portion can be easily inserted in the medullary canal of the femur, without drilling to accommodate the distal portion.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In the drawings, an intramedullary cavity nail according to a preferred aspect of the invention is designated generally by reference numeral 1. Generally speaking, the nail 1 comprises a solid elongate body of biocompatible metal, for example titanium or stainless :LS steel of the type AISI316KVM, essentially formed by a proximal portion 2, united to a distal portion 3, by means of a substantially truncated-conical intermediate portion 4.

Both of the portions 2, 3 are substantially rectilinear and their axes form between them a relatively small deviation angle ~, for example, an included anqle between 4~ and 5~.

The proximal portion 2, having a length ~, for example between 70-mm and 80-mm, has a substantially ;25 constant and relatively large average diameter ~p, which may for example bel in the range between 12-mm and 16-mm, and preferably of about-14-mm, thus rendering the proximal portion 2 adaptable for stable anchorage in a hole bored in a trochanteric zone of limited length of the bone. In :30 this manner, one obtains a reduction of blood loss during the operation of tissue incision and a simplification of the surgical intervention, with greater chances of success.

Toward the free end of the proximal portion 2, a threaded seat 5 is formed, with an end edge that has a diametrical notch 6.

In the proximal portion 2 and below seat 5, at least two spaced transverse bores 7, 8 are provided for cephalic screws 9, 10, for stabilizing the femoral head; bores 7, 8 are inclined with respect to the axis ap of the proximal portion 2. Suitably, the bores 7, 8 are inclined with respect to the axis of the proximal portion 2 at an avera.ge angle of about 115~, and they may be inclined with respect to each other by about 10~ so as to be convergent, in order to prevent a shifting of the head and/or the exit of screws 9, 10 therefrom.

Preferably, the cephalic screws 9, 10 have respective proxi.mal end portions 11, 12 with possibly but not necessarily increased diameter, stably engageable in the bores 7, 8 of the nail 2; and distal end portions 13, 14 of sc:rews 9, 10 may be of lesser or equal diameter, and with self-threading tips for engagement into the femoral head.

In certain cases, the proximal portion 2 may be provi.ded with a third bore 15, inclined by an average angle of for example about 115~ with respect to the axis ~p for a medial ~irschner wire substantially coaxial with the femoral head; such a wire will be understood to be of smaller diameter than the two screws, and is not shown in the clrawings.

The distal portion 3, having a length ~, for example in the range between 100-mm and 120-mm, has an average diameter ~d less than diameter ~p of the proximal portion, for example in the range between 8-mm and 10-mm and preferably about 9-mm, thus rendering the distal portion 3 adaptable for easy insertion in the medullary canal of the femur without any boring of the same.

In the distal portion 3, a single transverse bore 16 is provided, substantially perpendicular to the axis ad, for diaphysis stabilization and a torsional locking pin 17. The bore 16 is preferably provided at about midway of the ll_ngth Ld so as to position the locking pin 17 at insufficient axial offset from the free tip of the distal portion 3, thereby reducing any risk of breakage of its end portion.

Preferably, the diaphysis locking pin 17 has a smooth shank portion 18 of substantially constant diameter stably engag,eable in the bore 15, and a threaded proximal-end portion 19 engageable in the spongy tissue of the bone.

'With the described configuration, and as shown in Fig. ~, the nail 1 allows for an optimally stabilized installation and a stable and quick synthesis of the bone, with a reduced invasive technique and with limited blood loss.

~0 Both the cephalic screws and the diaphysis pin are preferably made with the same materials as the nail for reasons of biocompatibility.

According to a further aspect of the invention, there is provided an instrument (Fig. 8) for positioning the ;'5 above-described intramedullary cavity nail and for performing the necessary drilling of the bone.

Advantageously, such an instrument comprises a drilling template 20 which extends in the principal plane defined by nail axes ~p and ~d. As shown, template 20 is an outrigger having a hand grip 21 for grasp by the surgeon, and an offsetting transverse arm 22 has an end bore 23 for connection to the proximal end of nail 1, on the axis ap. A guide sleeve 24 is keyed in the bore 23 having diametrical protrusions or keying teeth 25 at its lower end; teeth 25 will be understood to be in the principal plane of development of the template and to be engageable in the diametrical notch 6 of the seat 5 of nail 1, in order to guarantee template 21 alignment during the surgical intervention.

:L0 A pin 26 (Fig. 8) having a manually operable knob 27 extends through the bore of sleeve 24 and has a threaded end 28 for engagement with the threaded seat 5 of the intramedullary nail 1 in order to guarantee its connection with the template 20.

:L5 The lower part of the grip 21 of template 20 is seen in Fig. 8 to be provided with guide bores (suggested only by their axes 7', 8', 15', 16') for bone-drill bits, in correspondence with the bores 7, 8, 15 and 16 of the nail.

In use, the surgeon performs the drilling of the trochanteric zone of the medullary canal of the femur for about. 10-cm, whereafter the nail is inserted, taking care that the notch 6 along the edge of its threaded seat is posit.ioned in a lateral plane of the limb. Thereafter the nail is connected to the drilling template 20 taking care :25 that the protrusions of keying teeth 25 of guide sleeve 24 of th.e latter are engaged in the notch 6 of nail 1.
Final.ly, pin 26 is inserted in the sleeve 24 and its threa.ded end 28 is driven into the threaded seat 5 of the pin, thereby providing its stable connection. At this point:, bone-drilling may be initiated via guide bores 7', 8', 1.5', 16', corresponding to and aligned with the bores 7, 8, 15, 16 of the intramedullary nail. Finally, screws 9, lC!, 17 may be inserted in the respective bores for provi.ding stabilization of the femur in a rapid and secure manner.

For the insertion and stabilization of such screws while avoiding accidentally dropping them, it is possible to utilize a particular T-shaped tool, illustrated clearly in Fig. 7 and generally indicated by the reference numeral 29. The tool has an elongate stem 30 with a head 31 having a socket formation 32 of hexagonal section, to fit the hexagonal head of a screw (e.g., as in Fig. 5 or Fig.
6) an~d an external tubular portion 33 with a diametrical longitudinal notch 34 for forming two semicylindrical elastic wings which can grip the head of the screw, against accidental loss of screw head/socket engagement in the course of tool manipulation.
