本發明係有關一種椎間融合器及其植入設備,尤指一種可調整角度的椎間融合器及其植入設備。 The invention relates to an intervertebral cage and an implant device thereof, in particular to an adjustable angle intervertebral cage and an implant device thereof.

目前常見的脊椎疾病,如骨質疏鬆導致椎骨塌陷、因癌細胞腫瘤轉移至椎骨、脊椎間關節與其周圍相連組織異常等等症狀,使得人們在進行活動時,常常伴隨著嚴重的疼痛。此類患者常常需要進行脊椎體置換手術,將有問題的椎節取出,並植入椎間融合器(spinal cage)來取代之。 The current common spinal diseases, such as osteoporosis leading to collapse of the vertebrae, due to cancer cell tumor metastasis to the vertebrae, abnormal joints between the intervertebral joints and surrounding tissues, etc., make people often accompanied by severe pain during activities. Such patients often require vertebral replacement surgery to remove the problematic vertebral segments and implant them with a spinal cage.

習知的椎間融合器通常體積過大,在手術過程中往往需要開創較大的傷口,以方便植入椎間融合器。此種開放式手術對於病患而言並非有利,病患必須承受身體上大範圍的肌肉及組織傷害,造成手術後的恢復時間相當漫長,容易對病患產生不利的影響。此外,由於習知的椎間融合器多為單一結構型態,因此僅具備單一固定角度,在一般情況下椎間融合器在置入後往往與病患的脊椎椎節排列方向會呈現一夾角而非平行,導致要調整該椎間融合器之角度而有手術困難度增加、手術時間的延長等不利病患之因素。 Conventional interbody fusion cages are often oversized and often require larger wounds during surgery to facilitate implantation of the interbody cage. Such open surgery is not beneficial to the patient. The patient must withstand a wide range of muscle and tissue damage in the body, resulting in a long recovery time after surgery, which is likely to adversely affect the patient. In addition, since the conventional interbody fusion cages are mostly of a single structural type, only a single fixed angle is provided, and in general, the interbody cage is often placed at an angle with the patient's spinal vertebrae after being placed. Rather than being parallel, it leads to factors such as an increase in the degree of difficulty in surgery and prolonged operation time, such as an increase in the angle of the intervertebral cage.

因此,如何設計出一種椎間融合器,以改善上述開放式手術所帶來的大傷口、復原慢的情況,且能具備角度調整機制,以克服手術中椎間融合器及病患脊椎椎節會具有夾角之情況,且能減少手術時間、降低手術困難度,為目前急迫解決課題之一。 Therefore, how to design an interbody fusion cage to improve the large wounds and slow recovery caused by the above open surgery, and to have an angle adjustment mechanism to overcome the interbody fusion cage and the patient's spinal vertebral joint It will have an angle, and it can reduce the operation time and reduce the difficulty of surgery.

The pivot centers of the pivotally positioned positioning members 11, 15 are on the same axis. The locating member 12 pivotally joins the joint 214 of the assembly 21 and the joint 232 of the assembly 23, the locating member 16 pivotally connects the joint 213 of the assembly 21 and the joint 233 of the assembly 23, and the pivoted locator 12 The axis of the two is located on the same axis; the positioning member 13 is pivotally connected to the joint 231 of the assembly 23 and the joint 241 of the assembly 24, and the positioning member 234 of the positioning member 17 is pivotally coupled to the assembly 23 and the assembly 24 The joint point 244, the axis of the pivoting positioning members 13, 17 are located on the same axis; the positioning member 14 pivotally connects the joint point 222 of the assembly 22 and the joint point 242 of the assembly 24, the positioning member 18 pivot The joint point 223 of the assembly member 22 and the joint point 243 of the assembly member 24, the pivot centers of the pivotally positioned positioning members 14, 18 are located on the same axis. Therefore, after the components 21, 22, 23, 24 are connected to each other, the four positions on the same side can be used as the vertices at the position where the positioning member and the joint point are pivoted (ie, the joint point is used as the apex, or the anchor point is used. As a vertex, a quadrilateral is defined, for example, the positioning members 11, 12, 13, 14 are connected in a quadrilateral shape, or the positioning members 15, 16, 17, 18 are connected in a quadrilateral shape. The plurality of joint points on the diagonal of one of the quadrilaterals, that is, the center points of the joint points 221, 241 (or 211, 231), can define the first line 30, or can be positioned The center point of both 11, 13 (or 15, 17) to define the first connection 30. Since the assembly members 21, 22, 23, 24 and the positioning members 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 are pivotally connected, the assembly members can be used as the axis of the positioning member. Rotating shaft for relative rotation, for example, assemblies 21, 22 can be fixed The axial centers of the two members 11 and 15 are relatively rotated, and the assembly members 22, 24 can be rotated relative to each other by the axes of the positioning members 14, 18, and the assembly members 24, 23 can be axially positioned by the positioning members 13, 17.

The connecting axial direction is the second axial direction 323. Therefore, the frame member 32 can be rotated relative to the assembly 21, 22 in the direction of rotation of the second axial direction 323.

第一桿體,設於該框型件中,且該第一桿體之軸向與 該第二軸向垂直。詳言之,該框型件32在未設有第二連接點321、322之相對二對邊上,分別設有開孔324、325,第一桿體33即是穿過於該框型件32之開孔324、325而設於該框型件32中。該第一桿體33之一端具有環狀凹部333,係在第一桿體33穿過框型件32之開孔324、325後,以一固定件332套設在該環狀凹部333,使得第一桿體33能確實固定在框型件32內,且固定後的第一桿體33之第三軸向331係與第二連接點321、322之樞接軸向垂直,即第三軸向331垂直於第二軸向323,且第三軸向331與第二軸向323相交於一點。 a first rod body is disposed in the frame member, and an axial direction of the first rod body The second axis is perpendicular. In detail, the frame member 32 is provided with openings 324, 325 respectively on the opposite two sides of the second connection points 321 and 322, and the first rod 33 passes through the frame member 32. The openings 324, 325 are provided in the frame member 32. One end of the first rod body 33 has an annular recess 333. After the first rod body 33 passes through the openings 324 and 325 of the frame member 32, the fixing member 332 is sleeved on the annular recess 333. The first rod body 33 can be fixed in the frame member 32, and the third axial direction 331 of the fixed first rod body 33 is perpendicular to the pivotal axial direction of the second connection points 321, 322, that is, the third axis. The direction 331 is perpendicular to the second axis 323, and the third axis 331 intersects the second axis 323 at a point.

第二桿體,具有開孔方向與該第二桿體之軸向垂直的孔洞,能藉由該孔洞套設於該第一桿體上且使該第二桿體能在該第一桿體之軸向進行移動,並界定該第二桿體設置入該套筒之第一中空槽之方向為第二連線。詳言之,第二桿體34具有開孔方向與該第二桿體34之軸向垂直的孔洞341,而該孔洞341係為了將第二桿體34套設在第一桿體33上,因此,孔洞341之直徑必須大於或等於第一桿體33之直徑,以利孔洞341套設在第一桿體33上。而第二桿體34必須在第一桿體33完全穿過框型件32之二開孔324、325之前,套設在第一桿體33上。即第一桿體33穿過框型件32之開孔325後,先穿過第二桿體34之孔洞341,再穿過框型件32之開孔324,之後再以固定件332套設在該環狀凹部333。如此一來,第二桿體34能在第一桿體33之第三軸向331進行移動,即包含框型件32及第一桿體 33之組合的限制移動單元能夠限制第二桿體34於第三軸向331上移動。此外,套筒31之第一中空槽311係大於或等於第二桿體34,故第二桿體34能夠設置入該套筒31之第一中空槽311中,並界定第二桿體34設置入套筒31之第一中空槽311之方向為第二連線35。 a second rod body having a hole whose opening direction is perpendicular to an axial direction of the second rod body, and the hole can be sleeved on the first rod body and the second rod body can be in the first rod body The axial movement is performed, and the direction in which the second rod body is disposed into the first hollow groove of the sleeve is defined as a second line. In detail, the second rod body 34 has a hole 341 whose opening direction is perpendicular to the axial direction of the second rod body 34, and the hole 341 is for arranging the second rod body 34 on the first rod body 33, Therefore, the diameter of the hole 341 must be greater than or equal to the diameter of the first rod 33 so that the hole 341 is sleeved on the first rod 33. The second rod body 34 must be sleeved on the first rod body 33 before the first rod body 33 completely passes through the two openings 324, 325 of the frame member 32. That is, after the first rod body 33 passes through the opening 325 of the frame member 32, it passes through the hole 341 of the second rod body 34, passes through the opening 324 of the frame member 32, and then is sleeved by the fixing member 332. In the annular recess 333. In this way, the second rod body 34 can move in the third axial direction 331 of the first rod body 33, that is, the frame member 32 and the first rod body are included. The restraining movement unit of the combination of 33 can restrict the movement of the second rod 34 in the third axial direction 331. In addition, the first hollow slot 311 of the sleeve 31 is greater than or equal to the second shaft 34, so that the second rod 34 can be disposed into the first hollow slot 311 of the sleeve 31 and define the second rod 34. The direction of the first hollow groove 311 into the sleeve 31 is the second line 35.

由於該些組合件21、22、23、24具體可為半圓空心柱狀體,其徑向長度h1小於軸向長度h2,因此在第二桿體34設置入套筒31之第一中空槽311後,即第二軸向323上的第二連接點(321、322)、定位件(11、15)、組合件21之結合點(211、214)、組合件22之結合點(221、224)沿著第一連線30往第一軸向314上的第一連接點(312、313)、定位件(13、17)、組合件23之結合點(231、234)、組合件24之結合點(241、244)來移動,組合件21、22、23、24能夠形成橢圓柱狀體,且每一組合件21、22、23、24之徑向長度h1小於軸向長度h2,故所形成的橢圓柱狀體整體的徑向直徑必會小於軸向長度。請參閱第4圖,即為本發明椎間融合器10在第二桿體34設置入套筒31之第一中空槽311後所展現出的第二型態之示意圖。而在第二桿體34未設置入套筒31之第一中空槽311中時,該些組合件21、22、23、24所展現的係為第一型態,如第5A圖所示。 Since the assembly members 21, 22, 23, 24 are specifically semi-circular hollow cylindrical bodies whose radial length h1 is smaller than the axial length h2, the second hollow body 34 is disposed in the first hollow groove 311 of the sleeve 31. After that, that is, the second connection point (321, 322) on the second axial direction 323, the positioning member (11, 15), the joint point (211, 214) of the assembly 21, and the joint point of the assembly 22 (221, 224) The first connection point (312, 313) along the first line 30 to the first axial direction 314, the positioning member (13, 17), the junction point (231, 234) of the assembly 23, the assembly 24 By combining the points (241, 244), the assemblies 21, 22, 23, 24 can form an elliptical cylinder, and the radial length h1 of each of the assemblies 21, 22, 23, 24 is less than the axial length h2, so The radial diameter of the formed elliptical cylinder as a whole must be smaller than the axial length. Please refer to FIG. 4 , which is a schematic view showing the second form of the interbody cage 10 after the second rod 34 is disposed in the first hollow groove 311 of the sleeve 31 . When the second rod 34 is not disposed in the first hollow groove 311 of the sleeve 31, the assemblies 21, 22, 23, 24 exhibit a first type, as shown in FIG. 5A.

承上所述,該些組合件21、22、23、24能藉由定位件11、12、13、14、15、16、17、18以及第二桿體34與套筒31之間的搭配,使得椎間融合器10能在第一型態及第二 型態之間進行變換,而能呈現出不同的外型。由於該些組合件21、22、23、24之徑向長度h1小於軸向長度h2,在進行手術時僅需要開創徑向長度h1兩倍大小的傷口,而不需開創軸向長度h2兩倍大小的傷口,即可將椎間融合器10以第一型態的外型置入患部後,再將椎間融合器10變換成第二型態。故本發明之椎間融合器10在第一型態及第二型態之間進行變換之功能,實能達到微創手術之小傷口的要求。 As described above, the assemblies 21, 22, 23, 24 can be matched by the positioning members 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and the second rod 34 and the sleeve 31. So that the interbody cage 10 can be in the first type and the second The types change between types, and can exhibit different shapes. Since the radial length h1 of the assemblies 21, 22, 23, 24 is less than the axial length h2, it is only necessary to create a wound of twice the radial length h1 when performing the operation, without creating an axial length h2 twice. For the size of the wound, the interbody cage 10 can be placed into the affected part with the first type of appearance, and then the interbody cage 10 is transformed into the second type. Therefore, the interbody cage 10 of the present invention performs the function of changing between the first type and the second type, and can achieve the requirement of a small wound of minimally invasive surgery.

此外,在椎間融合器10之第一型態時,請同時參閱第1A、1B、2、3、5A圖,由於第二桿體34能在第一桿體33之第三軸向331進行移動,當第二桿體34在第一桿體33之第三軸向331上移動偏離第二軸向323時,即第二桿體34與第二連接點321、322並未同時位在第二軸向323上,第一連線30及第二連線35交會於第一連接點312、313之第一軸向314,而具有一角度θ。在椎間融合器10自第一型態變換成第二型態時,請參閱第5B圖,該角度θ於變換後仍會存在,即第二型態中第一連線30及第二連線35之間夾有角度θ。因此,本發明之椎間融合器10除了具備能在第一型態及第二型態之間進行變換之功能外,更具備了在第一型態及第二型態之間進行變換同時調整椎間融合器10與植入方向之角度θ的功能,且能以第二桿體34移動偏離第二軸向323的長度,來決定角度θ的大小。偏離長度越長,自第一型態變換至第二型態後的角度θ越大,反之亦同。 In addition, in the first form of the interbody cage 10, please refer to the drawings 1A, 1B, 2, 3, and 5A, since the second rod 34 can be performed in the third axial direction 331 of the first rod 33. Moving, when the second rod 34 moves away from the second axial direction 323 in the third axial direction 331 of the first rod body 33, that is, the second rod body 34 and the second connecting points 321, 322 are not simultaneously located In the two axial directions 323, the first line 30 and the second line 35 intersect at a first axial direction 314 of the first connection points 312, 313 and have an angle θ. When the interbody cage 10 is transformed from the first type to the second type, please refer to FIG. 5B. The angle θ still exists after the transformation, that is, the first connection 30 and the second connection in the second type. An angle θ is sandwiched between the lines 35. Therefore, in addition to the function of being able to change between the first type and the second type, the interbody cage 10 of the present invention has the function of changing and adjusting between the first type and the second type. The intervertebral cage 10 functions as an angle θ to the implantation direction, and the magnitude of the angle θ can be determined by the length of the second rod 34 moving away from the second axial direction 323. The longer the deviation length, the larger the angle θ after changing from the first type to the second type, and vice versa.

The first hollow slot 311 and the second hollow slot 315 penetrate the sleeve 31 together, and the second hollow slot 315 The radial length is greater than the radial length of the first hollow groove 311, and therefore, an abutting portion 316 is formed where the first hollow groove 311 abuts the second hollow groove 315. The outer surface of one end of the sleeve 31 is formed with a thread 317, specifically at one end of the first connection point 312, 313 remote from the sleeve 31. In one embodiment, the assemblies 23, 24 of the pivot sleeve 31 have grooves 235, 245, respectively, whether in the first or second form of the interbody cage 10. Both can provide the space required for the sleeve 31 to rotate along the first axial direction 314. In one embodiment, the second rod body 34 further includes a receiving groove 342 which is located inside one end of the hole 341 away from the second rod body 34.

(二)限制移動單元之第二實施型態 (2) Limiting the second implementation form of the mobile unit

於本發明之另一實施型態中,如第7圖所示,限制移動單元係指方型件37而言。該方型件37用以限制該第二桿體34於第三軸向331上移動。該方型件37具有至少一第二連接點,且該方型件37係以該第二連接點透過該些定位件樞接位於該第一連線上之另一端的該些結合點,且界定該第二連接點之樞接軸向為第二軸向。詳言之,方型件37具有至少一以上的第二連接點,於一實施例中,該第二連接點321、322係為兩個,但本發明並不以此為限。該方型件37具體為一四方體,其相對之二對邊分別設有第二連接點321、322。方型件37以第二連接點321、322透過定位件11、15樞接位於第一連線30上的結合點211、221、214、224,並界定該第二連接點321、322之樞接軸向為第二軸向323。因此,方型件37即可以第二軸向323之旋轉方向,相對於組合件21、22進行旋轉。 In another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 7, the restricting movement unit means the square member 37. The square member 37 is for restricting movement of the second rod 34 in the third axial direction 331. The square member 37 has at least one second connecting point, and the square connecting member 37 is pivotally connected to the connecting points at the other end of the first connecting line through the positioning members, and is defined by the second connecting point. The pivotal axis of the second connection point is a second axial direction. In detail, the square member 37 has at least one or more second connection points. In an embodiment, the second connection points 321 and 322 are two, but the invention is not limited thereto. The square member 37 is specifically a square body, and the second connecting points 321 and 322 are respectively disposed on opposite sides. The square member 37 pivotally connects the joint points 211, 221, 214, 224 on the first connecting line 30 through the positioning members 11 and 322 through the second connecting points 321 and 322, and defines the pivot of the second connecting points 321 and 322. The connecting axial direction is the second axial direction 323. Thus, the square member 37 can be rotated relative to the assembly 21, 22 in the direction of rotation of the second axial direction 323.

方型件37包含滑槽371、限制部372及開口373,該滑槽371係從方型件37之一面凹設於該方型件37,該限制部372係設於該滑槽371之開口方向,具體可為二個限制部372,而該二個限制部372之間形成該開口373。第二桿體34包含桿件344及塊體345,桿件344之面積係小於該塊體345之一面的面積。該塊體345之形狀係相符或微小於該滑槽371,俾使該塊體345能在該滑槽371中沿著 第三軸向331進行移動,例如滑槽371及塊體345可皆為相對應之三角柱體、四方體的形狀,或是相對應之球體的形狀,本發明並不以此為限。第三軸向331係與第二軸向323相互垂直且相交於一點。 The square member 37 includes a sliding groove 371, a restricting portion 372, and an opening 373. The sliding groove 371 is recessed from one of the square members 37 to the square member 37. The restricting portion 372 is disposed at the opening of the sliding groove 371. The direction may specifically be two restricting portions 372, and the opening 373 is formed between the two restricting portions 372. The second rod body 34 includes a rod member 344 and a block body 345. The area of the rod member 344 is smaller than the area of one side of the block body 345. The shape of the block 345 is consistent or slightly smaller than the chute 371 so that the block 345 can follow along the chute 371. The third axial direction 331 is moved. For example, the sliding groove 371 and the block 345 may be in the shape of a corresponding triangular cylinder or a square, or the shape of the corresponding spherical body, and the invention is not limited thereto. The third axial direction 331 and the second axial direction 323 are perpendicular to each other and intersect at one point.

該開口373則是提供第二桿體34之塊體345於該滑槽371中移動時,第二桿體34之桿件344亦能於該開口373中移動。而由於桿件344面積係小於該塊體345之一面的面積,因此可藉由該方型件37之限制部372來限制該塊體345於滑槽371中進行移動時不會脫離該滑槽371。 The opening 373 is such that when the block 345 of the second rod 34 is moved in the sliding slot 371, the rod 344 of the second rod 34 can also move in the opening 373. Since the area of the rod 344 is smaller than the area of one surface of the block 345, the restricting portion 372 of the square member 37 can be used to restrict the block 345 from moving out of the chute 371 without leaving the chute. 371.

因此,方型件37藉由滑槽371、限制部372及開口373可限制第二桿體34於第三軸向331上移動,藉由移動第二桿體34於方型件37之滑槽371的第三軸向331上的位置,以調整設定椎間融合器10與植入方向之角度θ,此為限制移動單元之第二實施型態,而第二實施型態與第一實施型態相比僅限制移動單元不同,其餘元件之作動方式及達成之功效皆相同,於此不再贅述。 Therefore, the square member 37 can restrict the second rod body 34 from moving in the third axial direction 331 by the sliding groove 371, the restricting portion 372 and the opening 373, by moving the second rod body 34 to the chute of the square member 37. a position on the third axial direction 331 of the 371 to adjust the angle θ of the interbody cage 10 to the implantation direction, which is the second embodiment of the restriction movement unit, and the second embodiment and the first embodiment The state is different from the mobile unit only, and the other components are activated and the effects are the same, and will not be described here.
