Self -fixing type artificial vertebral body

Abstract

The present invention relates to a self-fixed artificial vertebral body and its mounting tool. It is formed from an intermediate cover, two side covers and two end cover terminal laminas which are assembled together. Its whole structure is up-down symmetrical, its interior is hollow, its length is adjustable, and its middle portion can be bent at a certain angle so as to ensure spinal physiological curve. Its mounting tool includer manual ring drill, curved wrench and sighting device. Said invention also provides its mounting method and steps.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an artificial vertebral body in the medical industry, in particular to a self-fixing artificial vertebral body. Background technique [0002] Thoracic and lumbar burst fractures or bone tumors lead to extensive resection of diseased vertebrae and cause large bone defects in the human spine. At present, artificial vertebral body replacement and internal bone graft fusion are often used at home and abroad to fill bone defects and rebuild spinal stability. In clinical practice, artificial vertebral bodies need to be combined with spinal internal fixators to enhance stability, but it also causes a series of problems: 1) artificial vertebral bodies are fixed by pre-tightening and compression of spinal internal fixators. The fixed method can temporarily stabilize the purpose, but the use of spinal internal fixation devices can only be fixed on one side. After a long time, the physiological curvature of the spine will be affected. Onc...

Problems solved by technology

In clinical practice, artificial vertebral bodies need to be combined with spinal internal fixators to enhance stability, but it also causes a series of problems: 1) artificial vertebral bodies are fixed by pre-tightening and compression of spinal internal fixators. The fixed method can temporarily stabilize the purpose, but the use of spinal internal fixation devices can only be fixed on one side. After a long time, the physiological curvature of the spine will be affected. Once the pre-tightening force disappears, the artificial vertebral body is easy to loosen or move. 2) The use of spinal internal fixators will undoubtedly increase the difficulty and trauma of the operation, and its bulky size limits the space for spinal activities. More importantly, the activities of the spine will cause damage to surrounding blood vessels and nerve tissues. and compression, prone to complications
