Abstract
Description
- The present application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 13/098,935 entitled “Intramedullary Nail” filed May 2, 2011, now pending, which claims priority to and the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61/362,937 filed on Jul. 9, 2010, entitled “Intramedullary Nail.” The disclosure of each application identified above is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety for all purposes.
- The present disclosure generally relates to an intramedullary nail for fixation of fractured bones and more particularly to an intramedullary nail comprising an attachment structure for an insertion instrument and an insert for firmly securing locking screws to the intramedullary nail.
- Intramedullary nails are commonly used as bone fixation devices for osteosynthesis purposes. Often these intramedullary nails feature locking screws inserted transversely through the intramedullary nail for either stabilizing the intramedullary nail in the bone or for fixation of individual bone fragments. These intramedullary nails may permit multiple locking screws to be inserted therethrough at different angles relative to one another. The locking screws are often secured in the intramedullary nail via a plastic bushing or ring preventing the screw from migrating out of the intramedullary nail due to micro-motion or other loads. To secure these screws in the intramedullary nail, an interference fit and a forced tapping of the screw into the bushing is generally applied. Other fixation features include metal interfaces that may be mechanically deformed and/or permit forced tapping in metal. These bushings should be formed of a material that is biocompatible. However, there is limited availability of such a material. One such available plastic material is Ultra High Molecular Weight Poly-Ethylene (UHMWPE), which is a material that has been approved worldwide for implantation. Although the biocompatibility of this material is ideal, the material is difficult to process with required accuracy using conventional processing and molding techniques.
- An example of a locking intramedullary nail including transverse locking holes and an insert for securing the locking screws in these locking holes is known from EP Patent No. B 0 306 709 DAUERER. This known intramedullary nail comprises a proximal and a distal insert with transverse bores having a diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the locking screws so as to secure the locking screws in the locking holes of the intramedullary nail. The insert is slidably inserted into the central cavity of the intramedullary nail. This known intramedullary nail, however, does not comprise an attachment structure at the proximal end to fix an insertion instrument to the nail.
- One problem associated with the above described intramedullary nails involves the attachment mechanism for an insertion handle or aiming device which is usually arranged at the proximal end of commonly used intramedullary nails is that the insert must have a small outer diameter in order to be introduced through a central opening of the attachment mechanism.
- Thus, there remains a need for an improved intramedullary nail for a rigid fixation between the nail and the bone including an attachment mechanism for a surgical instrument and an insert, which permits the locking screws to be firmly secured in the locking holes of the intramedullary nail
- The present disclosure relates to an intramedullary nail having an attachment mechanism for an insertion instrument and an insert with transverse holes that are adapted and configured to firmly secure locking screws in the intramedullary nail.
- According to the present disclosure, an intramedullary nail is extending along a longitudinal axis from a proximal end to a distal end, the nail comprising a cavity extending from an opening at the proximal end along the longitudinal axis and a first locking hole extending transversely through the nail sized and shaped to receive a locking screw therethrough along with a first insert sized and shaped for insertion into the cavity including a first transverse bore arranged so that, when the insert is in the desired position within the cavity, the first bore is aligned with the first locking hole so that a locking screw inserted through the first locking hole passes through the insert via the first bore and a second insert sized and shaped to be lockingly received within the cavity proximal of the insert to lock the insert at the desired position in the cavity.
- Some advantages of the intramedullary nail according to an embodiment of invention are that the insert does not have to be assembled through an attachment mechanism, e.g. an internal thread at the proximal end of the intramedullary nail, and can therefore have an increased diameter. In addition, due to the increased diameter, the insert can be manufactured from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) by using conventional processing and molding techniques. Further, due to the increased diameter of the insert, the locking screws can be firmly secured in the transverse bores of the insert and consequently in the locking holes of the intramedullary nail.
- In one exemplary embodiment of the intramedullary nail, the first insert has an outer diameter D and the central bore has an inner diameter d and wherein the outer diameter D is greater than the inner diameter d of the central bore of the second insert.
- In a further exemplary embodiment of the intramedullary nail, the first insert is made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). Preferably, the second insert and the intramedullary nail are made of TAN.
- In another exemplary embodiment of the intramedullary nail, the first insert has an anti-rotation mechanism for preventing rotation of the first insert in the cavity in the intramedullary nail. Due to the anti-rotation mechanism the first insert is kept in a rotatively fixed position relative to the intramedullary nail so that the transverse bores in the first insert are aligned with the locking holes in the proximal part of the intramedullary nail.
- In again another exemplary embodiment of the intramedullary nail, the first insert has more than one transverse bore.
- In yet a further exemplary embodiment of the intramedullary nail, at least two transverse bores in the first insert extend in different directions.
- In still a further exemplary embodiment of the intramedullary nail the second insert is fixed in the cavity of the intramedullary nail by one or more laser-welds. Preferably, the laser weld is a circumferential weld. Alternatively, the laser-welds are two small longitudinal laser-welds. Additionally, the second insert can be fixed in the cavity in the intramedullary nail via an external thread or a press-fit.
- In another exemplary embodiment, the first insert has a cylindrical shape.
- According to a further aspect of the present disclosure, an assembly is provided comprising an intramedullary nail and one or more locking screws, wherein the locking screws have a greater diameter than the transverse bores in the first insert.
- In accordance with another aspect of the present disclosure, a method for assembling the intramedullary nail according to the invention is provided which comprises the steps of inserting a first insert into a cavity of a intramedullary nail, the intramedullary extending along a longitudinal axis from a proximal end to a distal end and including a first locking hole extending transversely through the nail sized and shaped to receive a locking screw therethrough, the cavity extending from an opening at the proximal end along the longitudinal axis, the insert including a first transverse bore arranged so that, when the insert is in the desired position within the cavity, the first bore is aligned with the first locking and inserting a second insert into the cavity of the intramedullary nail, the second insert sized and shaped to be lockingly received within the cavity proximal of the insert to lock the insert at the desired position in the cavity.
- An embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in the following by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
-
FIG. 1 illustrates a perspective exploded view of an exemplary embodiment of the intramedullary nail according to the present disclosure; -
FIG. 2 illustrates an exploded view in a longitudinal section of the embodiment of the intramedullary nail ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 3 illustrates a longitudinal section of the embodiment of the intramedullary nail ofFIG. 1 in the assembled state; -
FIG. 4 illustrates a perspective view of the embodiment of the intramedullary nail ofFIG. 1 in the assembled state; and -
FIG. 5 illustrates a lateral exploded view of the embodiment of the intramedullary nail ofFIG. 1 . - The present disclosure may be further understood with reference to the following description and the appended drawings, wherein like elements are referred to with the same reference numerals. The present disclosure generally relates to an intramedullary nail for fixation of fractured bones and more particularly to an intramedullary nail comprising an attachment structure for an insertion instrument and an insert for firmly securing locking screws to the intramedullary nail. It should be noted that the terms “proximal” and “distal” as used herein are intended to refer to a direction toward (proximal) and away from (distal) a user of the intramedullary nail.
- As shown in
FIGS. 1 to 5 , anintramedullary nail 1 extends along alongitudinal axis 11 from aproximal end 13 to a distal end and includes acavity 14 extending through aproximal portion 12 thereof. Theintramedullary nail 1 further comprises afirst insert 2 and asecond insert 3 insertable through thecavity 14. Theintramedullary nail 1 includes theproximal portion 12 and adistal portion 9, theproximal portion 12 including thecavity 14 extending longitudinally therethrough and a plurality oflocking holes 15 for receiving locking screws extending transversely therethrough. Thefirst insert 2 is inserted into thecavity 14 and thesecond insert 3 is inserted into thecavity 14 proximally of thefirst insert 2. Thecavity 14 extends coaxially with thelongitudinal axis 11 and is open at theproximal end 13. Thecavity 14 may include an enlarged diameter portion at theproximal end 13 including aninternal thread 19 extending thereabout for engaging thesecond insert 3. Further, thecavity 14 may also include a contraction which forms anaxial stop 16 to prevent thefirst insert 2 from moving distally therepast toward thedistal part 9 of theintramedullary nail 1. The plurality oflocking holes 15 extend through theproximal portion 12 of theintramedullary nail 1 transversely to thelongitudinal axis 11. Each of thelocking holes 15 have ahole axis 17 and are arranged in such a manner that thehole axis 17 of each of thelocking holes 15 orthogonally cuts thelongitudinal axis 11 of theintramedullary nail 1. Further, the locking holes 15 are spaced apart from each other along thelongitudinal axis 11 of theintramedullary nail 1. The locking holes 15 are staggeredly arranged so that the hole axes 17 of the four lockingholes 15 extend at an angle relative to one other when viewed in a cross-section orthogonal to thelongitudinal axis 11 of theintramedullary nail 1. In a preferred embodiment, theintramedullary nail 1 includes four locking holes 15. It will be understood by those of skill in the art, however, that theintramedullary nail 1 may include any number of locking holes 15. - The
first insert 2 may have acylindrical body 27 extending along acentral axis 24 from aproximal end 21 to adistal end 22. Thefirst insert 2 includes aneccentric nose 25 at thedistal end 22. Thefirst insert 2 is coaxially positioned in thecavity 14 and includes a plurality oftransverse bores 20 extending transversely therethrough, each of the transverse bores 20 having abore axis 26. The transverse bores 20 are arranged in such a manner that the bore axes 26 extend orthogonally of thecentral axis 24 and are equally spaced apart and extend at equal angles relative to each other, corresponding to a position of the locking holes 15 in theproximal part 12 of theintramedullary nail 1. Thus, when inserted into thecavity 14, the transverse bores 20 in thefirst insert 2 may be exactly aligned with the locking holes 15 in theproximal part 12 of theintramedullary nail 1. - As illustrated in
FIG. 3 , theeccentric nose 25 engages a complementarily shapedeccentric portion 10 in thecavity 14 when thefirst insert 2 is inserted in thecavity 14. Thus, theeccentric nose 25 and theeccentric portion 10 form ananti-rotation mechanism 6, which prevents thefirst insert 2 from rotating relative to thecavity 14 in theintramedullary nail 1. Thecylindrical body 27 of thefirst insert 2 may also include astop face 23 proximally of theeccentric nose 25 for contacting theaxial stop 16 in thecavity 14 of theintramedullary nail 1 when thefirst insert 2 is completely inserted in thecavity 14. Thesecond insert 3 may also be cylindrical, including acentral bore 30. Thesecond insert 3 is fixedly positioned in thecavity 14 coaxially and proximally of thefirst insert 2. Thesecond insert 3 may have aninternal thread 31 along an inner surface of thecentral bore 30 and anexternal thread 32 along an outer surface thereof, which corresponds to theinternal thread 19 of the enlarged diameter portion of thecavity 14 such that thesecond insert 3 may threadedly engage thecavity 14. Thecavity 14 also includes ashoulder 18 therein, which is distal of the enlarged portion so that thesecond insert 3 contacts theshoulder 18 and is prevented from moving distally therepast, further into thecavity 14. - The
first insert 2 has been described as having aneccentric nose 25. It will be understood by those of skill in the art, however, that other nose configurations are also possible. For example, the nose could be concentric but have a flattened edge to provide the anti-rotation mechanism with a complementarily shaped eccentric portion in a cavity. In another example, the nose could feature two or more complementary edges that have rotational symmetry of, for example,order 2. - As illustrated in
FIG. 2 , a portion of thecavity 14 which receives thefirst insert 2 and which is axially limited by theaxial stop 16 and by theshoulder 18 has a length L which is slightly greater than a length l2 of thecylindrical body 27 of thefirst insert 2. Thecentral bore 30 of thesecond insert 3 may act as a fixation structure for coupling an insertion instrument such as, for example, an insertion handle and/or an aiming device, to theintramedullary nail 1. Thefirst insert 2 has an outer diameter D and thecentral bore 30 has an inner diameter d, wherein the outer diameter D of theinsert 2 is greater than the inner diameter d of thecentral bore 30 of thesecond insert 3. Thus, once thefirst insert 2 is fully inserted in thecavity 14 it cannot be axially displaced upon insertion of thesecond insert 3 but is retained by thesecond insert 3 in thecavity 14. - As illustrated in
FIGS. 4 and 5 , thesecond insert 3 is fixed in thecavity 14 of theintramedullary nail 1 via a longitudinal laser-weld 5, which may be positioned in anoblong opening 28, which extends through a wall of theproximal portion 12 of theintramedullary nail 1. In one exemplary embodiment, theintramedullary nail 1 includes two longitudinal laser-welds 5 and twooblong openings 28 that are axially located between theshoulder 18 in thecavity 14 and theproximal end 13 of theintramedullary nail 1. Further, the twooblong openings 28 have a long axis each which extends parallel to thelongitudinal axis 11 of theintramedullary nail 1 and when viewed in a cross-section orthogonal to thelongitudinal axis 11 the twooblong openings 28 are arranged at an angle relative to one another. In another embodiment, thesecond insert 3 may be welded, for example circumferentially, to thecavity 14 at theproximal end 13 of theintramedullary nail 1, between an exterior surface of thesecond insert 3 and an interior of the enlarged diameter portion at theproximal end 13 which receives thesecond insert 3. - Furthermore, the transverse bores 20 in the
first insert 2 have a smaller diameter than the locking screws (not shown) used to lock theintramedullary nail 1 in a bone. Therefore, the thread of the locking screw cuts into the wall which limits the respective transverse bore 20 so that the locking screws are secured against loosening within the transverse bores 20 and consequently within the locking holes 15 of theintramedullary nail 1 so that a rigid fixation of the locking screws in theintramedullary nail 1 can be achieved. - Although the present disclosure and its advantages have been described in detail, it should be understood that various changes, substitutions, and alterations can be made herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. Moreover, the scope of the present application is not intended to be limited to the particular embodiments of the process, machine, manufacture, composition of matter, means, methods and steps described in the specification.
