Implant device for promoting bone growth

Abstract

In order to promote bone growth without damage of a growth plate to improve the stability of a procedure, the present invention provides an implant device for promoting bone growth, the device comprising: a first implant bar implanted to penetrate a metaphysis corresponding to the inside of a growth plate of a long bone to be treated; a second implant bar implanted to penetrate an epiphysis of the outside of the growth plate; and a stimulation elongation means disposed close to the external surface of the long bone to be treated and installed under skin tissues surrounding the long bone to be treated, and being elongated between end portions of the implant bars to increase a gap between the implant bars to cause the growth plate to be extended.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present disclosure relates to an implant device for promoting bone growth, and more particularly, to an implant device for promoting bone growth, which is configured to promote bone growth without damage of a growth plate, thereby improving the safety of a procedure.BACKGROUND ART[0002]In general, a long bone, such as a femur, a tibia, a humerus, and the like, includes a diaphysis forming a central portion of the long bone, a metaphysis provided at both end portions of the diaphysis, and an epiphysis provided outside the metaphysis. Also, a growth plate is located between the metaphysis and the epiphysis. In this case, a medullary cavity, which is filled with bone marrow, is present inside the diaphysis, and a bone may be grown by the growth plate.[0003]Here, it is known that a length growth of the growth plate of the long bone is inhibited when the growth plate of the long bone receives compressive force inward from the epiphysis toward the metaphysis, whil...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0009]By using the above-described solutions, an implant device for promoting bone growth according to the present disclosure provides the following effects.

[0010]First, implant bars implanted to penetrate both sides of a growth plate of a long bone stimulate the growth plate with the elongation of a stimulation elongation unit, and each component may be mounted in a compact structure in skin tissues. Thus, a wearer can live everyday life with the implant device worn, so that a convenience of using a product can be improved.

[0011]Second, the stimulation elongation unit is connected to both exposed ends of each of a first implant bar and a second implant bar that are implanted to penetrate inner and outer sides of the growth plate to thereby elongate the both exposed ends of each of the first and second implant bars. Thus, the elongation of a central portion and an outer portion of the growth plate portion can be uniformly promoted at the same time.

[0012]Third, a variation of an elongation rod portion locate...

Problems solved by technology

Since skin tissues are subject to pressure together during the stimulation of the growth plate, excessive force applied to the skin tissues, thereby causing a wearer to suffer pain.

In addition, there has been a problem that the wearer cannot live everyday life due ...
