Abstract
In a rod fixation system of the type used to treat various spinal conditions, the same fastener is used to lock both a polyaxial screw and a rod in position. A spinal correction device according to the invention, adapted for use with a rod and a polyaxial screw having a ball-shaped head and a threaded end, comprises a head-body and a cap. The head-body includes a lower internal cavity to receive the ball-shaped head of the screw, an upper bore to receive a fixation rod therethrough, and an upper end configured to receive the cap. The head-body and the cap are configured such that a first rotation of the cap locks the polyaxial screw in position, and a second rotation of the cap locks the rod in position. In the preferred embodiment, the head-body includes one or more gaps to facilitate flexion of the head-body as a rotational torque is placed on the cap. The gap or gaps may be horizontal, vertical or other angles relative to the axis of the entrapped rod.
Description
- This application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/691,708, filed Jun. 17, 2005, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference.
- This invention relates generally to spinal correction and, in particular, to a system incorporating a multi-stage locking mechanism.
- There are many spine-related conditions, such as scoliosis, which require multi-level correction/fixation. Numerous plate and rod systems are available for this purpose, many of which have received patent protection. One of the deficiencies with existing systems, however, is that the mechanism used to lock the polyaxial screw is different from the mechanism used to lock the rod, thereby requiring additional parts and less manageable installation steps.
- Broadly, this invention resides in a rod fixation system to treat various spinal conditions, wherein the same fastener is used to lock both a polyaxial screw and a rod in position. A spinal correction device according to the invention, adapted for use with a rod and a polyaxial screw having a ball-shaped head and a threaded end, comprises a head-body and a cap. The head-body includes a lower internal cavity to receive the ball-shaped head of the screw, an upper bore to receive a fixation rod therethrough, and an upper end configured to receive the cap. The head-body and the cap are configured such that a first rotation of the cap locks the polyaxial screw in position, and a second rotation of the cap locks the rod in position.
- In the preferred embodiment, the head-body includes one or more gaps to facilitate flexion of the head-body as a rotational torque is placed on the cap. The gap or gaps may be horizontal, vertical or other angles relative to the axis of the entrapped rod. With appropriate selection of materials and cross-section, sufficient “flexion” may be established without the need for gaps.
- Tapered threads may be used on the head-body and/or cap to achieve subsequent tightening of the polyaxial screw and rod to a continuous rotational movement. An optional compression-enhancing bushing may be disposed between the rod and the ball-shaped head of the screw. Although the invention is described in conjunction with rod fixation, extensions to rod and plate or plate-only configurations are possible.

FIG. 5B is an oblique, partial cross-sectional view ofcaps - FIGURE SC is a side cross sectional view of

Although the invention is described in conjunction with rod fixation, extensions to rod and plate or plate-only configurations are possible.
- Reference is now made to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , which show from a cross-section and oblique view, respectively, a first preferred embodiment of the invention utilizing three primary components, namely, a head-body 102, apolyaxial screw 104, and a cap 112 (not shown inFIG. 1 ). Thepolyaxial screw 104 includes a proximal hemispherical head 106 and a distal threadedportion 108. The ball portion of the screw includes some type of turning aperture, such ashex depression 107. Thescrew 104 is held in position within the head-body 102 through bushing 120 and fastener 122, facilitating assembly from the bottom. Thefastener 122 may be threaded, press fit or otherwise secured in position. - Above the hemispherical portion 106 of the
polyaxial screw 104, is a partially cylindrical passage to receive arod 114. Note thegap 116 formed within the head-body 102 internally to the head-body, and around the upper portion of the spherical head 106 ofscrew 104. - Broadly according to the invention, when
cap 112 is placed onto the head-body 102, a first rotation of thecap 112 locks the polyaxial screw in position, while allowing the rod a slight degree of movement. However, with further rotational force applied to thecap 112, the rod is then locked in position, forming a rigid, unified structure. The polyaxial screw is screwed into position using ahex driver 107 with thescrew 104 aligned the head-body 102, after which time the hex driver is removed, allowing the head-body to swivel and therod 114 to be placed through the head-body. -
FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate an alternative embodiment of the invention, utilizing four basic components, namely, those shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 with slight variation, and further including a bushing 330 having aslot 332 which aligns with aslot 336 formed through head-body 302. Polyaxial screw is shown at 304, having a proximal at leastsemi-spherical head 306. Therod 314 is shown in phantom. - The head-
body 302 includes anupper portion 310 adapted to receivecap 312 as discussed previously. The operation of the alternative embodiment ofFIGS. 3 and 4 is essentially the same as that ofFIGS. 1 and 2 , namely, that through a first rotational torque oncap 312, thepolyaxial screw 304 is held in relative angular position with respect to head-body 302, such that with a subsequent torque applied tocap 312,rod 314 is locked in position. The purpose of bushing 330 is to provide additional compressive strength without the need for as much rotational torque as might be required in the preferred embodiment ofFIGS. 1 and 2 . -
FIG. 5A is a bottom-up drawing ofcaps FIG. 5B is an oblique, partial cross-sectional view ofcaps - Those of skill in the art will appreciate that as an alternative to a geometric relationship of the type just described, tapered threads may be used on the head-body and/or cap to achieve subsequent tightening of the polyaxial screw and rod to a continuous rotational movement. Additionally, although gaps are shown in the head-body as being horizontal and vertical, mixtures of these and angles other than horizontal and vertical may be used and, indeed, with appropriate selection of materials and cross-section, sufficient “flexion” may be established without the need for gaps. In terms of materials, the assemblies described may be formed from any bio-compatible sufficiently strong materials, such as chrome, cobalt or other alloys, ceramics or combinations thereof.
