Description
- This patent application claims benefit of pending prior U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/378,985, filed May 9, 2002 by Shaun B. Hanson et al. for BONE MILLING INSTRUMENT, which patent application is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
- This invention is related to orthopedic implant apparatus and methods in general, and more particularly to apparatus and methods for creating a shaped cavity in a bone.
- This invention provides a bone milling instrument designed to create a cavity in bone for orthopedic implants. The instrument removes a volume of bone using a rotating cutter which progresses along a set path. The shape of the volume of bone is determined by the direction of the set path, the location of the path relative to the bone, and the shape of the cutter and/or cutters used. By engineering the combination of translations and rotations of the cutting tool in space, as controlled by the path, anatomically accurate geometries may be machined into the bone. Of particular interest is the milling of the medial arc portion of the proximal femur which is typically defined as an arc or compound curve having tapered sides. The instrument consists of a system of components including a stationary reference frame, a guidance support member, a reamer shuttle, and a cutting device. The guidance support member can be adjusted vertically and horizontally to change the size, shape, and location of the cavity created.
- The above and other features of the invention, including various novel details of construction and combinations of parts and method steps will now be more particularly described with reference to the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the claims. It will be understood that the particular devices and method steps embodying the invention are shown by way of illustration only and not as limitations of the invention. The principles and features of this invention may be employed in various and numerous embodiments without departing from the scope of the invention.
- In orthopedic total joint replacement surgery it is necessary for the implant to be securely fixed to the host bone for a successful clinical outcome. Normally this is accomplished in one of two ways; either the implant is fixed to the bone using a surgical cement, or it is forcefully pressed into the bone to achieve an interference fit. When the implant is to be press-fit into the bone, a cavity is created in the bone to receive the geometry of the implant. For the press-fit method, it is important that this cavity closely fits the implant shape in order to hold the implant securely in the bone.
- Currently, there are two common methods for creating this cavity in the bone for the implant. One method used is to remove bone material using a set of rasps or broaches and a mallet. The other method is to remove bone by milling the bone with a set of reamers, drills, or other revolving cutting tools. The method of this invention is that of milling the bone with cutting instruments. Examples of devices that use milling instruments to machine the bone include those found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,540,694 (De Carlo, Jr. et al.), 5,342,366 (Whiteside et al.), and 4,777,942 (Frey et al.).
- Current milling instrumentation systems are unable to machine shapes that match the naturally occurring internal anatomy of the bone. Due to the nature of using revolving cutting tools, the implant designs driven by these instrumentation systems consist of rudimentary combinations of cones and cylinders. Preparing bone for implants of these basic shapes often causes one to compromise the fit of the implant to the bone. The implant cavity prepared with milling is very simple and the anatomy of the bone is much more complex. Implanting non-anatomic geometries requires removing more bone in some areas and less bone in other areas than is desirable. Using the broach/rasp system, more complex and anatomically correct implant shapes can be created in the bone, when compared to those geometries which can be milled into the bone using simple cone and cylinder instrumentation. Although broach/rasp systems can create a more anatomically correct shape in the bone, the act of repeatedly hammering the broach/rasp in and out of the bony canal is imprecise. On the other hand, previous milling systems were able to create accurate holes in the bone which were too simple to be anatomically correct. Anatomically correct implants typically include arcs or compound arcs having parallel or tapered sides. These arcs can be either symmetrically or asymmetrically placed relative to the bulk of the proximal implant geometry.
- The purpose of this invention is to allow the surgeon to create shaped cavities within bones. These cavities have complex and compound arcs of various geometries and are created using rotating cutting tools. The milling instrument can remove a volume of bone while progressing along a path of simple or complex arcs (rotations), single or multiple lines (translations), or a combination of both translations and rotations. These cavities can be created either symmetric or asymmetric relative to any given axis of the bone. This milling instrumentation can be adjusted vertically and horizontally to change the size, shape, and location of the milled cavity to match the anatomic shape of the bone in the region.
- The milling instrument described in this invention is a system of four components: a reference frame, a guidance support member, a reamer shuttle, and a cutting device. The reference frame acts as a support and positional reference for the cutting tool with respect to the bone. The guidance support member controls the path of the cutting tool and thus governs the resulting cavity shape constructed in the bone. The guidance support member can be adjusted in different directions and orientations with respect to the reference frame to alter the shape, size, and location of the cavity created in the bone. The cutting device can be simply a tapered reamer or a revolving cutter of any shape designed to remove material by revolving about its central axis. The reamer shuttle is a component that allows the cutting device to rotate freely while constraining its motion to follow the guidance track. This invention can be a system of components where each of the components is separable and interchangeable with another one of a different size and/or configuration.

FIG. 5 , there is shown animplant 35 disposed withincavity 5.Cavity 5 has tapering sides designed to transfer loads evenly to the bone as indicated byarrows 40. This configuration will also stimulate bone growth. - The instrument can create the wedge opening along a curve (such as a medial curve) or along another specified path. The instrument can also create the larger opening of the cavity off-axis to the longitudinal axis of the bone, thus creating a non-symmetric, and perhaps more anatomically fitting,
cavity 45 within the bone as shown inFIGS. 6 and 7 . - Looking now at
FIG. 8 , an in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, there is shown amilling instrument system 50 comprising four components or sub-systems to create a shaped cavity. These components include areference frame 55, aguidance support member 60, areamer shuttle 65, and acutting device 70. The components of the system shown can vary and be interchangeable with other components. - Referring now to
FIG. 9 , there is shown another view ofreference frame 55. During use,reference frame 55 is fixed to and aligned with the longitudinal axis of the bone so as to rest within a cavity that is created prior to inserting the remaining components of millinginstrument system 50.Frame 55 provides a reference so that the cavity to be created is positioned at the desired location with respect to the previously formed cavity or opening. Integral to frame 55 is an axial,cylindrical member 75 that centers the frame on the distally reamed opening in the bone. This is connected to aregistration surface 80 that fits the previously formed opening (such as a conical cavity) such that the vertical position offrame 55 to this opening is established. Fromregistration surface 80 along the central axis protrudes amember 85 for connection ofreference frame 55 to theguidance support member 60.Member 85 hasvertical markings 90 and/or other features to allow one to adjust position of theguidance support member 60 with respect toreference frame 55, and thus ultimately with respect to the initial opening. - Looking now at
FIG. 10 , there is shown another view ofsupport member 60 comprising anattachment mechanism 95 for adjustable connection tomember 85.Attachment mechanism 95 comprises avertical adjustment 100 and ahorizontal adjustment 105 so as to allowsupport member 60 to be adjusted vertically and horizontally alongframe 55 with respect to the location of the bone.Guidance support member 60 provides aconstrained path 110, within whichreamer shuttle 65 can travel. - In another preferred embodiment of the present invention (not shown), a guidance support member may provide alternative types of tracks that are interchangeably connected to
attachment mechanism 95 that vertically and horizontally positions the track with respect to frame 55. It is also possible that thisattachment mechanism 90 can be configured so thatconstrained area 110 is placed offset and at an angle to the central axis of thereference frame 55. Thus, the key benefit of adjustingguidance support member 60 in any position or orientation allows the creation of a variety of differently located, sized, and shaped cavities. In another preferred embodiment of the present invention (not shown), constrainedarea 110 comprises multiple guidance rails or individual paths therein. - Referring now to

Cuttingdevice 70, which includes, for example, a revolving mill or cutter, is allowed to revolve freely withinreamer shuttle 65 while constrained within a path set byguidance support member 60. As thecutting device 70 rotates and follows the path provided byguidance support member 60, the cavity is created in the bone. Although the cutting path as shown inFIGS. 8 and 10 lies in a single plane, different components forconstrained area 110 can be placed inguidance support member 60 so as system to create complex and compound pathways comprised of multiple translations and rotations about multiple axes. Working in two planes only, off-axis or asymmetric cavities can be machined relative to the bone. The reamer shuttle is designed such that it would operate in interchangeable tracks. Cuttingdevice 70 can be side cutting, end cutting, or both and is designed to cut while rotating. Cuttingdevice 70 andreamer shuttle 65 are constructed such that cuttingdevice 70 is constrained withinreamer shuttle 65 so that the only relative motion between each component is the cuttingdevice 70 rotating freely insidereamer shuttle 65. - This disclosed method differs from existing devices that machine bone in that a cutting device is permitted to travel through a path requiring translation and rotation of the cutting tool over at least a portion of said path. In addition, path of the cutting tool is not confined to a single plane or angle.
