Abstract

For a satisfactory anchorage of the stem (1) of an endoprosthesis to be implanted in a bone, there is provided a spreading sleeve (2) with an inner cone adapted to suit the conical end of the stem (1). The spreading sleeve (2) additionally has an outer cone which tapers in a direction opposite to that of the inner cone, and, finally, the spreading sleeve (2) is provided with a continuous slot (21) and is flexible, so that it can be expanded over its entire length by the stem (1) acting as a mandril. This results in reliable anchorage of the stem (1), which is secured against being pulled out in the direction C by the wedge effect of the spreading sleeve (2). <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Endoprothese der im Oberbe­ griff des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Art.The invention relates to an endoprosthesis in the upper part handle of claim 1 specified type.

Aus der DE-PS 22 47 560 ist eine Hüftgelenkkopfprothese bekannt, die mit mehreren hintereinander geschalteten konischen Verankerungsteilen in der Markhöhle eines Oberschenkelknochens verankert ist. Die Verankerungsteile haben konische Innenbohrungen und sind an einem Ende ge­ schlitzt. Sie können mittels einer Zugstange ineinander gezogen werden, so daß sich ihre gespreizten Enden auf­ spreizen und gegen die Knocheninnenwand legen. Die Ver­ ankerungsteile werden dabei an einem Ende dicker als am anderen, wobei das jeweils dickere (gespreizte) Ende in die distale Richtung weist. Dadurch ist die Verankerung gegen Herausziehen in proximale Richtung nicht besonders gut.From DE-PS 22 47 560 is a hip joint head prosthesis known, which are connected in series with several conical anchoring parts in the medullary cavity of a Femur is anchored. The anchoring parts have conical inner bores and are ge at one end slits. They can be interlocked using a pull rod be pulled so that their spread ends open spread and lay against the inner wall of the bone. The Ver Anchoring parts become thicker at one end than at other, with the thicker (spread) end in the distal direction points. This is the anchor not particularly against pulling out in the proximal direction Good.

Aus der europäischen Patentschrift 86 879 ist eine zen­ trierende Halterung für einen in seiner Längsachse verschiebbaren Schaft einer in einen Röhrenknochen ein­ setzbaren Endoprothese bekannt. Die Halterung weist eine beidseitig mit Längsschlitzen versehende Spreizhülse auf, in welche jeweils ein Konus gezogen werden kann. Diese Anordnung ist recht aufwendig.From the European patent specification 86 879 is a zen trier holder for one in its longitudinal axis slidable shaft one into a long bone known endoprosthesis. The bracket has a expansion sleeve provided on both sides with longitudinal slots, into which a cone can be drawn. These Arrangement is quite complex.

Eine ähnliche Anordnung ist durch die europäische Patent­ anmeldung 86 880 bekannt geworden, bei der ein Spreiz­ körper in eine Spreizhülse eingeschraubt werden kann, wobei der Spreizkörper eine Bohrung zur Führung des Schaf­ tes einer Prothese aufweist.A similar arrangement is through the European patent registration 86 880 became known in which a spread body can be screwed into an expansion sleeve,  wherein the expansion body has a bore for guiding the sheep has a prosthesis.

Bei den beiden zuletzt beschriebenen, lediglich zur zentrierenden Halterung eines Schaftes dienenden Anord­ nungen kommt es nicht auf eine gute Sicherung gegen Herausziehen an.In the last two described, only for centering holder of a shaft serving arrangement It does not come down to a good security against Pull out on.

Allen drei vorbekannten Anordnungen ist gemeinsam, daß die jeweiligen Spreizhülsen sozusagen das Herausklappen der jeweils zwischen zwei Längsschlitzen liegenden Hülsenteile aus der ursprünglichen Mantelfläche erlauben sollen. Dabei weiten sich die Längsschlitze, die nur einseitig geöffnet sind, an ihrem geöffneten Ende auf und behalten ihre ursprüngliche Weite an ihrem Grund.All three known arrangements have in common that the respective expansion sleeves, so to speak, the folding out of the each between two longitudinal slots sleeve parts from the original surface. Here the longitudinal slots widen which only open on one side are open at their open end and keep theirs original breadth at its bottom.

Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine weitere Verankerungsmöglichkeit einer Endoprothese mit Schaft und Spreizhülse anzugeben, die eine gute Fixierung des Schaf­ tes gegen Herausziehen gewährleistet.It is an object of the present invention, another Anchoring option for an endoprosthesis with shaft and Specify expansion sleeve that fixes the sheep well guaranteed against pulling out.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei der Endoprothese mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffes des Patentanspruches 1 dadurch gelöst, daß das Schaftende selbst konisch ausläuft und als Dorn zum Aufweiten der elastischen Spreizhülse vorgesehen ist, wobei die Spreizhülse mit einem durchgehenden Längsschlitz versehen ist und sich bei Einführen des Schaftendes in ihren Innenraum elastisch aufweiten läßt; dabei weist die Spreizhülse einen dem Schaftende angepaßten Innenkonus auf, der sich in entgegengesetzter Richtung verjüngt wie ihr Außenkonus. This task is performed on the endoprosthesis with the features of the preamble of claim 1 solved in that that the shaft end itself tapers and as a thorn is provided to expand the elastic expansion sleeve, the expansion sleeve with a continuous longitudinal slot is provided and when inserting the shaft end in lets their interior expand elastically; the Expansion sleeve an inner cone adapted to the shaft end that tapers in the opposite direction like her outer cone.  

Um die Spreizhülse noch besser in der Markhöhle eines Knochens zu fixieren, kann ihr Außenkonus mit Noppen, Querrillen und/oder Wülsten versehen sein, die sich in die Knocheninnenwand eindrücken.To make the expansion sleeve even better in the medullary cavity To fixate the bone, its outer cone with knobs, Cross grooves and / or beads are provided, which are in the Press in the inner wall of the bone.

Die Spreizhülse für die Endoprothese nach der Erfindung unterscheidet sich von den oben beschriebenen, bekannten Spreizhülsen dadurch, daß die Längsnut durchgehend ist und sich beim Spreizen auf ihrer ganzen Länge aufweitet. Dazu muß die Spreizhülse entsprechend elastisch nachgiebig sein. Um diese Nachgiebigkeit insbesondere bei einer größeren Wandstärke zu fördern, kann der Innenkonus und/oder der Außenkonus der Spreizhülse Längsnuten auf­ weisen oder sonst irgendwie in geeigneter Weise von der Kreiskegelstumpfform abweichen. Dies gilt auch für das Schaftende. Wenn der Außenkonus der Spreizhülse von der Kreiskegelstumpfform abweicht, kann dies auch insofern von Vorteil sein, als damit eine Sicherung gegen Verdrehen der Spreizhülse im Knochen erzielbar ist.The expansion sleeve for the endoprosthesis according to the invention differs from the known ones described above Expansion sleeves in that the longitudinal groove is continuous and expands along its entire length when spreading. To the expansion sleeve must be correspondingly resilient be. To this flexibility especially with a The inner cone can promote greater wall thickness and / or the outer cone of the expansion sleeve has longitudinal grooves point or otherwise in any suitable way from the Circular frustum shape differ. This also applies to that Shaft end. If the outer cone of the expansion sleeve from the Circular truncated cone shape deviates, this can also in that Be advantageous as a safeguard against twisting the Expansion sleeve can be achieved in the bone.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Un­ teransprüchen gekennzeichnet bzw. werden nachstehend zusammen mit der Beschreibung der bevorzugten Ausführung der Erfindung anhand der Figuren näher dargestellt. Es zeigt Advantageous developments of the invention are in the Un claims are identified below along with the description of the preferred embodiment the invention with reference to the figures. It shows

Für einen Schaft 1 mit Kreisquerschnitt ist in Fig. 1 auf­ geschnitten eine Spreizhülse 2 vorgesehen mit einem durchgehenden Längsschlitz 21 (vgl. Fig. 2). Die Spreiz­ hülse 2 weist einen Innenkonus 3 auf, der dem konischen Schaftende 11 angepaßt ist. Außerdem hat die Spreizhülse 2 einen Außenkonus 22, der sich in der entgegengesetzten Richtung verjüngt wie der Innenkonus 3.For a shaft 1 with a circular cross section, an expanding sleeve 2 is provided in FIG. 1 with a continuous longitudinal slot 21 (see FIG. 2). The expansion sleeve 2 has an inner cone 3 which is adapted to the conical shaft end 11 . In addition, the expansion sleeve 2 has an outer cone 22 that tapers in the opposite direction to the inner cone 3 .

Zum Aufweiten des Längsschlitzes 21 und damit der Spreiz­ hülse 2 ist der Schaft in Richtung A oder die Spreizhülse in Richtung B zu bewegen. Dies kann mit Hilfe eines Kirschnerdrahtes bewirkt werden, für den Bohrungen 23 und 24 in der Spreizhülse 2 vorgesehen sind.To widen the longitudinal slot 21 and thus the expansion sleeve 2 , the shaft is to be moved in direction A or the expansion sleeve in direction B. This can be accomplished with the aid of a Kirschner wire, for which bores 23 and 24 are provided in the expansion sleeve 2 .

In Fig. 3 ist das Ergebnis eines solchen Spreizvorganges dargestellt. Die Spreizhülse 2 ist auf das als aufweitender Dorn wirkende Schaftende des Schaftes 1 aufgeschoben und aufgeweitet. Ihr Außenkonus ist an die Innenwand eines Knochens 4 gedrückt. Damit ist der Schaft 1 gegen Heraus­ ziehen in Richtung des Pfeiles C gesichert, und zwar deshalb besonders gut gesichert, weil die Spreizhülse 2 ersichtlicherweise wie ein Keil zwischen die Knochen­ innenwand und das konische Schaftende geschoben ist. Diese Keilwirkung kommt besonders dann zustande, wenn sich die Knochenhöhle in Höhe der Spreizhülse 2 in Richtung des Pfeiles C verjüngt. Dies kann entweder durch entsprechen­ des Ausräumen oder dadurch erzielt werden, daß die Spreizhülse 2 die Knocheninnenwand entsprechend formt.In Fig. 3 shows the result of such Spreizvorganges. The expansion sleeve 2 is pushed onto the shaft end of the shaft 1, which acts as an expanding mandrel, and is expanded. Its outer cone is pressed against the inner wall of a bone 4 . So that the shaft 1 is secured against pulling out in the direction of arrow C , and is particularly well secured because the expansion sleeve 2 is evidently pushed like a wedge between the bone inner wall and the conical shaft end. This wedge effect occurs particularly when the bone cavity tapers in the direction of arrow C at the level of the expansion sleeve 2 . This can be achieved either by corresponding removal or by the expansion sleeve 2 shaping the inner wall of the bone accordingly.

Die in Fig. 4 gezeigte Spreizhülse weist zur zusätzlichen Sicherung gegen Herausziehen Noppen 5, Wülste 6 und Rillen 7 auf.The expansion sleeve shown in FIG. 4 has knobs 5 , beads 6 and grooves 7 for additional protection against being pulled out.

Die Fig. 5 in etwas anderem Maßstab und in Aufsicht dargestellte Spreizhülse hat im Innen- und Außenkonus Längsrillen 8 und 9, durch welche die Wandstärke stellen­ weise reduziert ist. Bei dieser Spreizhülse ist dadurch der durchgehende Längsschlitz 21 leichter aufweitbar. Fig. 5 in a slightly different scale and shown in supervision expansion sleeve has in the inner and outer cone longitudinal grooves 8 and 9 , through which the wall thickness is reduced wise. In this expansion sleeve, the continuous longitudinal slot 21 is easier to widen.

Mit der Endoprothese nach der Erfindung läßt sich eine gute Fixierung bei geringer Resektionsmenge erreichen.With the endoprosthesis according to the invention, one can achieve good fixation with a small amount of resection.

Die Erfindung beschränkt sich in ihrer Ausführung nicht auf das vorstehend angegebene bevorzugte Ausführungsbei­ spiel. Vielmehr ist eine Anzahl von Varianten denkbar, welche von der dargestellten Lösung auch bei grundsätzlich anders gearteten Ausführungen Gebrauch machen.The invention is not restricted in its implementation to the preferred embodiment given above game. Rather, a number of variants are conceivable which of the solution shown also in principle make use of different types.
