Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medical technology, and particularly to a bionic artificial temporomandibular joint replacement prosthesis. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of oral health awareness, the artificial temporomandibular joint prosthesis replacement technology has gradually received attention. Currently, the mainstream artificial temporomandibular joint prostheses at home and abroad include the standard prosthesis of Biomet Company in the United States and the personalized prosthesis customized by TMJ Concepts Company in the United States. However, there are still some bottlenecks in the application of these prostheses, such as high costs, indication limitations, and high technical thresholds. In addition, the problem that foreign products do not match the anatomical structure of Chinese people also leads to an increase in the complexity of the surgery and postoperative discomfort.

[0003] To solve the above problems, domestic research teams have begun to independently develop artificial temporomandibular joint prostheses suitable for Chinese patients. For example, the research team of the Ninth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine established an anatomical database through CT and MRI data, and optimized the prosthesis design by combining finite element analysis. They successfully developed a prosthesis suitable for Chinese people and have entered the clinical trial stage. In addition, other research teams are also exploring the use of 3D printing technology and tissue engineering technology to manufacture condylar prostheses with bionic characteristics.

[0004] The replacement of the artificial temporomandibular joint prosthesis has the advantages of less trauma, fast recovery, and the ability to correct mandibular deformities at the same time. Through the application of digital surgical design and 3D printing technology, the accuracy and success rate of the surgery can be further improved. In the future, with the popularization of domestic prostheses and the popularization of technology, the artificial temporomandibular joint replacement technology is expected to be applied in more oral medical units.

[0005] Chinese Patent No. CN108720969B discloses a bionic artificial temporomandibular joint replacement prosthesis. This bionic artificial temporomandibular joint replacement prosthesis can achieve the ingrowth and attachment of the lateral pterygoid muscle, thereby increasing the range of motion of the artificial joint, avoiding the disadvantages of limited movement of a pure mechanical joint and increasing the burden on the healthy joint on the contralateral side. The hydroxyapatite spraying on the bone contact surface of the glenoid fossa prosthesis and the porous titanium structure on the bone contact surface of the mandibular prosthesis both increase the bonding ability between the prosthesis and the bone, preventing aseptic necrosis of the bone caused by prosthesis micromotion, thereby improving its use effect and lifespan.

[0006] Such existing bionic artificial temporomandibular joint replacement prostheses as mentioned above may cause osteolysis or wear during actual use, and their wear resistance is insufficient, resulting in prosthesis failure or complications, such as loosening of titanium screws and facial nerve injury, etc. Moreover, standardized artificial temporomandibular joint prostheses are expensive, which limits their wide application and popularization. Foreign products do not match the anatomical structure of domestic people, resulting in complicated surgery, increased risks, and strong postoperative discomfort. Although there is a trend of personalized design, there are still problems of difficulty in selection and insufficient adaptability. The applicability is generally not high, resulting in poor use effect. Furthermore, complications such as condylar prosthesis dislocation, loosening of titanium screws, facial nerve injury, parotid gland injury, infection in the surgical area, facial numbness, pain and repeated swelling may occur after artificial temporomandibular joint replacement. Artificial temporomandibular joint replacement not only involves joint reconstruction, but also involves the correction of occlusal relationship and maxillofacial deformity, which requires surgeons to have high clinical and theoretical skills, insufficient adaptability, and no flexible activity space, so that the activity effect needs to be strengthened. Summary of the invention

[0025] As Figure 1-10 shown, the present invention provides a bionic artificial temporomandibular joint replacement prosthesis, including a glenoid fossa prosthesis 1 and a ramus prosthesis 2. A glenoid fossa liner 3 is provided at the bottom of the glenoid fossa prosthesis 1. By providing the glenoid fossa liner 3 between the glenoid fossa prosthesis 1 and the ramus prosthesis 2, the wear degree between the two can be effectively reduced, making the movement more smooth during the activity and minimizing the occurrence of the infection risk. The glenoid fossa liner 3 is in a semi - elliptical structure. Two transverse telescopic sleeves 32 and a plurality of circumferential telescopic components 35 are provided in the glenoid fossa liner 3. The transverse telescopic sleeves 32 and the circumferential telescopic components 35 can ensure a certain buffer during the activity, making the movement more rounded and reducing the influence brought by contact friction. A spherical socket 33 is connected between the two transverse telescopic sleeves 32. A condylar sphere 4 is provided at the top of the ramus prosthesis 2. The condylar sphere 4 is movably connected in the spherical socket 33. By using the movable connection method of the spherical socket 33 and the condylar sphere 4, the stability of the connection between the glenoid fossa prosthesis 1 and the ramus prosthesis 2 during the activity can be ensured, and the connection between the glenoid fossa prosthesis 1 and the ramus prosthesis 2 is prevented from being more easily worn due to insufficient matching stability.

[0026] In the above - mentioned solution, the glenoid fossa prosthesis 1 is composed of a mutually perpendicular extension plate 11 and a fixed wing plate 12. The fixed wing plate 12 is provided at the rear side of the extension plate 11. A glenoid fossa recess 111 is provided at the bottom of the extension plate 11. The glenoid fossa liner 3 is embedded in the glenoid fossa recess 111. A plurality of first fixing holes 121 are provided through the fixed wing plate 12.

[0027] As an optimized technical solution of the present invention, during the replacement process, the fixed wing plate 12 is installed at a position corresponding to the zygomatic arch of the human body by screws passing through the first fixing holes 121, and the glenoid fossa lining disc 3 is embedded in the glenoid fossa recess 11 to act as a cushion, which can effectively prevent the direct contact between the glenoid fossa recess 111 and the condylar sphere 4 and cause wear, playing an effective protective role.

[0028] In the above solution, the extension plate 11 and the fixed wing plate 12 are an integrally formed structure by 3D printing, and the glenoid fossa recess 111 is an ellipsoidal arc surface.

[0029] As an optimized technical solution of the present invention, by using digital design and 3D printing technology, precise manufacturing of personalized prostheses can be achieved, reducing errors during surgery, improving the safety and success rate of surgery, and the structure design of the glenoid fossa recess 111 with an elliptical spherical arc surface can make the movement smoother and the force more balanced.

[0030] In the above solution, the mandibular ramus prosthesis 2 is composed of a condylar neck 21 at the upper end and a mandibular ramus retention handle 22 at the lower end. The condylar sphere 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the condylar neck 21, and a plurality of second fixing holes 23 are provided through the mandibular ramus retention handle 22.

[0031] As an optimized technical solution of the present invention, the mandibular ramus prosthesis 2 corresponds to different parts of the human body at different positions and is integrally formed by 3D printing technology, which can improve its adaptability to the human body to ensure the use effect of the prosthesis, and the second fixing holes 23 are used to connect with the human mandibular ramus bone by screws to realize the fixation of the mandibular ramus prosthesis 2.

[0032] In the above solution, an installation movable groove 31 is provided at the bottom of the glenoid fossa lining disc 3. Two lateral telescopic sleeves 32 are oppositely connected to the left and right sides inside the installation movable groove 31. The spherical socket 33 is located in the middle of the installation movable groove 31 and is connected between the two lateral telescopic sleeves 32. The condylar sphere 4 is spherically connected in the spherical socket 33; an arc-shaped buffer space 34 is provided outside the installation movable groove 31, and a plurality of circumferential telescopic components 35 are arranged equidistantly in the arc-shaped buffer space 34, and the circumferential telescopic components 35 are perpendicular to the arc surface of the arc-shaped buffer space 34.

[0033] As an optimization technical solution of the present invention, the transverse telescopic sleeve 32 adopts an elastic telescopic rod structure, which will shorten automatically after being squeezed by external force, and will automatically recover after the applied external force is cancelled. During the joint movement, the transverse telescopic sleeve 32 can ensure a certain buffer activity space in the transverse direction, and the circumferential telescopic component 35 can ensure a certain buffer activity space in the circumferential direction, so as to facilitate the smooth movement while avoiding wear as much as possible. At the same time, it is also convenient for the joint to be reset in time after movement, so as to improve the user's use effect and experience, making it more bionic human body structure.

[0034] In the above scheme, the circumferential telescopic component 35 includes a liquid storage base 351, a telescopic column 352, a spherical liquid capsule 353, a spring telescopic sleeve rod 354, a conical head 355, a first spring 356, a first telescopic sleeve 357 and a second telescopic sleeve 358; the liquid storage base 351 is connected to the inner bottom of the arc-shaped buffer space 34, the telescopic column 352 is slidably connected to the upper end of the liquid storage base 351, the spherical liquid capsule 353 is arranged on the top of the telescopic column 352, and the spherical liquid capsule 353 is connected to the inner top of the arc-shaped buffer space 34. A liquid channel 3521 is provided through the center of the telescopic column 352, and the upper end of the liquid channel 3521 is communicated with the spherical liquid capsule 353; a conical groove 3522 is provided at the bottom of the telescopic column 352, and the conical groove 3522 is communicated with the lower end of the liquid channel 3521, and the spring telescopic sleeve rod 354 is vertically connected to the center position inside the liquid storage base 351 The conical head 355 is connected to the upper end of the spring telescopic sleeve rod 354 and is connected to the telescopic groove 3522 through a fixed rod. The conical head 355 corresponds to the conical groove 3522, and a liquid flow gap is formed between the conical head 355 and the conical groove 3522; the first spring 356 is sleeved on the spring telescopic sleeve rod 354, the first spring 356 abuts against the bottom of the telescopic column 352, the second telescopic sleeve 358 is vertically connected to the spherical liquid capsule 353, and docked at the upper end of the liquid channel 3521; a telescopic groove 3581 is provided in the second telescopic sleeve 358, the first telescopic sleeve 357 is slidably connected in the telescopic groove 3581, the bottom annular array of the first telescopic sleeve 357 has multiple second springs 3582, the top annular array of the first telescopic sleeve 357 has multiple connecting rods 3571, and the upper ends of the multiple connecting rods 3571 are connected to the top side of the spherical liquid capsule 353.

[0035] As an optimized technical solution of the present invention, during the movement of the joint, when the circumferential pressure is applied to the articular fossa lining disc 3, it will squeeze the circumferential telescopic component 35, and then the telescopic column 352 will be squeezed and retracted into the liquid storage base 351. During the process of the telescopic column 352 retracting into the liquid storage base 351, it will force the liquid in the liquid storage base 351 to overflow outward along the liquid channel 3521 into the spherical liquid sac 353 above it, causing the spherical liquid sac 353 to bulge. The bulging spherical liquid sac 353 will provide an elastic buffer force for the squeezed part of the articular fossa lining disc 3, making the movement process not appear too mechanical but more in line with the normal movement of the human joint. At the same time, when the spherical liquid sac 353 is squeezed, it will also push the first telescopic sleeve 357 into the telescopic groove 3581 of the second telescopic sleeve 358 through the connecting rod 3571, compressing the second spring 3582, thereby further improving the buffer support ability of the spherical liquid sac 353 to ensure the smoothness of joint movement. At the same time, when the telescopic column 352 retracts into the liquid storage base 351, it will also squeeze the first spring 356, playing a buffering role as well. Therefore, through the multi-stage buffering effect here, the joint movement can be made more smooth, and the wear on the articular fossa can be avoided as much as possible through the buffering relationship.

[0036] In the above solution, the spherical socket 33 is made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, and the condylar sphere 4 is made of cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy.

[0037] As an optimized technical solution of the present invention, the contact between ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy has high wear resistance, which can effectively prevent the occurrence of infections and inflammations caused by debris generated during joint movement due to wear.

[0038] Specific implementation case: When using the bionic human temporomandibular joint replacement prosthesis, first place the articular fossa lining disc 3 in the articular fossa recess 111, and connect the condylar sphere 4 in the spherical socket 33 to complete the assembly work between the articular fossa prosthesis 1, the articular fossa lining disc 3, and the mandibular ramus prosthesis 2.

[0039] Then, fix the articular fossa prosthesis 1 to the corresponding position on the zygomatic arch of the human body through the first fixing hole 121 provided on the fixing wing plate 12 using screws, and fix the mandibular ramus prosthesis to the human mandibular ramus bone through the second fixing hole 23 on the mandibular ramus retaining handle 22 using screws, and then the installation work of the bionic artificial temporomandibular joint replacement prosthesis can be completed.

[0040] Secondly, after the bionic artificial temporomandibular joint replacement prosthesis is installed, in order to ensure the smoothness of the joint movement and avoid wear on the fossa that affects the user's use effect and experience, during the movement, the lateral telescopic sleeve 32 and the circumferential telescopic component 35 in the fossa lining plate 3 can provide it with a certain buffering and protection effect, so as to avoid the failure of the replacement surgery due to wear of the fossa contact surface during joint movement.

[0041] Finally, in order to avoid debris generated by wear, the spherical socket 33 at the movable part of the joint socket is made of ultra-high molecular polyethylene, and the condylar ball 4 is made of cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy. The wear resistance of the contact surface of the two materials is utilized to improve their service life and use effect.

It should be understood that the above description is only a specific implementation method of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
