Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an internal fixation device for steel plates, and particularly to an automatically upwardly movable internal fixation device for steel plates suitable for minimally invasive spinal surgery. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, some major progress has been made in the field of spinal surgery, and revolutionary changes will occur in the surgical treatment methods for lumbar disc herniation: the mode mainly using "resection" of the herniated intervertebral disc will enter the mode mainly using "preservation" of the herniated intervertebral disc to allow it to absorb naturally. Literature reports that artificial spinal double-opening expansionplasty (CMEL) can widely "induce" the phenomenon of natural absorption (RHNP) of the herniated intervertebral disc, with an absorption ratio of up to 81.3%, and the maximum absorption rate can reach 100%. However, the artificial method has problems such as a relatively large incision and cumbersome surgical operations, especially the installation of traditional steel plates.

[0003] Specifically, the common problems are as follows: 1. Installation at multiple angles is required, and often skin auxiliary incisions need to be made. 2. Fixation with two or more screws is required, etc., which affects the popularization and application of this new technology. At present, although some spinal surgery robots have been successfully applied clinically, including the Mazor Spinal Assistant Robot in Israel, the SPINEBOT Spinal Robot in South Korea, the Mazor X Spinal Surgery Robot in the United States, and the Tianji Spinal Surgery Robot in China, etc., they basically use the method of registering intraoperative X-ray images with preoperative CT images for positioning, and can only be used for pedicle screw implantation, with very single functions.

[0004] To "induce" the widespread natural absorption (RHNP) of the herniated intervertebral disc, for a spinal minimally invasive surgery robot, to complete the CMEL surgical procedure and achieve double-opening decompression and posterior displacement and expansion of the spinal canal, it must be completed through a relatively small skin incision and in a narrow space, namely, the subcutaneous tunnel. However, currently, there is no internal fixation steel device that can cooperate with a spinal minimally invasive surgery robot to achieve the upward movement of the spinous ligament complex and be installed through the subcutaneous tunnel.

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned defects, the present inventor actively conducts research and innovation in order to create an automatically upwardly movable internal fixation device for steel plates suitable for minimally invasive spinal surgery, making it more valuable in industrial applications.

[0044] The following combines the drawings and embodiments to further describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present invention. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0045] Such as Figures 1 to 5 The snap - type steel plate internal fixation device for minimally invasive spinal surgery, including a machine head connecting seat 1, is characterized in that: an XY two - way adjustment mechanism and an X - direction adjustment mechanism are respectively arranged on the machine head connecting seat 1, so that precise two - way adjustment in the X and Y directions can be realized under the control of a surgical robot. At the same time, in order to limit the bone, a main eccentric steel plate clamping device 2 is arranged on the XY two - way adjustment mechanism, and a secondary eccentric steel plate clamping device 3 is arranged on the X - direction adjustment mechanism. Moreover, in order to fit the contour curve of the human vertebra and realize the clamping and positioning of two steel plates, the main eccentric steel plate clamping device 2 and the secondary eccentric steel plate clamping device 3 are symmetrically distributed.

[0046] In combination with the actual implementation, in order to facilitate precise two - way adjustment, the XY two - way adjustment mechanism is a U - shaped block 4. Specifically, on both sides of the machine head connecting seat 1 adopted in the present invention, side horizontal grooves 5 are mirror - symmetrically distributed. The two extended ends of the U - shaped block 4 are inserted into the side horizontal grooves 5, which can realize effective movement adjustment while meeting the limit. At the same time, a top horizontal groove 6 is opened at the upper end of the machine head connecting seat 1, and Y - direction adjustment screws 7 are arranged in the top horizontal groove 6. The Y - direction adjustment screws 7 are connected to the top of the U - shaped block 4. In this way, the locking of the Y - direction movement can be realized, meeting the free adjustment and positioning of the used devices. And, an X - direction adjustment screw 13 is connected to the U - shaped block 4, and a main adjustment nut 9 is arranged on the X - direction adjustment screw 13. The main adjustment nut 9 is connected to the upper end of the main eccentric steel plate clamp. Furthermore, in order to meet the subsequent snap - type connection and positioning, a main steel plate 10 is arranged on the main eccentric steel plate clamping device 2, a secondary steel plate 26 is arranged on the secondary eccentric steel plate clamping device 3, and a matching structure is distributed between the main steel plate 10 and the secondary steel plate 26. Considering the realization of the automatic "upward movement" function, threaded positioning holes are arranged on both the main steel plate 10 and the secondary steel plate 26. The threaded positioning holes are connected with an upward movement screw assembly 21 through an external thread sleeve 20. In this way, during use, when the two external thread sleeves 20 are screwed into the corresponding threaded positioning holes of the main steel plate 10 and the secondary steel plate 26 to the lowest position, the external thread sleeves 20 can drive the main steel plate 10, the secondary steel plate 26 and the spinous process 22 to move upward together and be reliably fixed.

[0047] In combination with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the adopted X - direction adjustment mechanism includes a guiding seat 11 arranged outside the machine head connecting seat 1. A pair of guide rods 12 are arranged on the guiding seat 11, so that the X - direction movement can be guided. Considering the need for adjustment and limit, an X - direction adjustment screw 13 is arranged on one side of the guiding seat. Specifically, the guide rods 12 are connected to the secondary eccentric steel plate clamping device 3, and a secondary adjustment nut 14 is arranged at the upper end of the secondary eccentric steel plate clamping device 3, which is convenient for adjustment. At the same time, considering the convenience of limit adjustment, one side of the secondary eccentric steel plate clamping device 3 is in contact with the X - direction adjustment screw 13.

[0048] Furthermore, both the main eccentric steel plate clip device 2 and the auxiliary eccentric steel plate clip device 3 include a lower L-shaped rod 15, and the lower L-shaped rod 15 is connected to an upper L-shaped rod 17 by a fastening screw 16. At the same time, a guiding perforation 25 is provided at the upper end of the lower L-shaped rod 15. In this way, when assembling, the guiding rod 12 is connected into the guiding perforation 25. And, a convex platform 18 is provided at the lower end of the lower L-shaped rod 15, and a corresponding main steel plate 10 or auxiliary steel plate 26 is connected to the convex platform 18. Considering the temporary positioning of the steel plate, fixing holes are provided on the main steel plate 10 and the auxiliary steel plate 26, and the convex platform 18 is embedded in the fixing holes. After assembly, the fastening screw 16 can tightly squeeze the upper L-shaped rod 17 and the lower L-shaped rod 15. Through the distribution of the paired main eccentric steel plate clip devices 2 and auxiliary eccentric steel plate clips, the main steel plate 10 and the auxiliary steel plate 26 can be delivered to the ideal position along the subcutaneous tunnel together.

[0049] In combination with the actual implementation, the inner shapes of the main steel plate 10 and the auxiliary steel plate 26 adopted in the present invention are adapted to the outer shape of the spinous process surface. The conventional spinous process 22 has a double V-shaped structure with a smaller upper part and a larger lower part, and a larger upper end bifurcation. During implementation, the two steel plates can firmly "hold" the spinous process 22 from all directions of up and down, left and right, head and tail.

[0050] Furthermore, the adopted matching structure includes a pin column 27 provided on the inner side surface of the main steel plate 10, and a fixed tube 28 provided at the corresponding position on the inner side of the auxiliary steel plate 26. In this way, when the main steel plate 10 and the auxiliary steel plate 26 move in the "closing" direction along the Y-axis, the pin column 27 is inserted into the fixed tube 28, making the two steel plates firmly combined. At the same time, the present invention also provides a relatively simple matching structure, which includes a pin 29 provided on the auxiliary steel plate 26 and a pin hole provided at the corresponding position on the main steel plate 10. When the main steel plate 10 and the auxiliary steel plate 26 are combined, the pin 29 is inserted into the pin hole. During manufacturing, the diameter of the pin 29 is matched with the aperture of the pin hole to avoid loosening after combination. The present invention also provides a simpler non-connection structure. There is a positioning hook 19 on one side of the main steel plate 10 and the auxiliary steel plate 26, which firmly "holds" and reinforces from one side of the spinous process 22.

[0051] Moreover, considering a more convenient connection with the surgical robot, which can achieve convenient replacement and maintenance, and is also convenient for threading a sterile isolation protective cover, one side of the head connecting seat 1 is connected to a head fixing seat 24 by a connecting bolt 23. Of course, for different structures or implementation methods, screws, connecting rods, magnetic attraction, etc. can also be used. Any structure that can achieve the combination of the head connecting seat 1 and the head fixing seat 24 can be adopted, which will not be elaborated here.

[0052] Embodiment 1

[0053] The pin post 27 on the inner side of the main steel plate 10 and the fixed tube 28 arranged at the corresponding position on the inner side of the auxiliary steel plate 26. In this way, when the main steel plate 10 and the auxiliary steel plate 26 move "together" along the Y-axis direction, the pin post 27 is inserted into the fixed tube 28, making the two steel plates firmly combined. During use, when the two external thread sleeves 20 are screwed into the corresponding thread positioning holes of the corresponding main steel plate 10 and auxiliary steel plate 26 to the lowest position, the external thread sleeves 20 can drive the main steel plate 10, the auxiliary steel plate 26 and the spinous process 22 to move upward together and be reliably fixed.

[0054] Embodiment 2

[0055] The pin 29 on the auxiliary steel plate 26 and the pin hole arranged at the corresponding position of the main steel plate 10. When the main steel plate 10 and the auxiliary steel plate 26 are combined, the pin 29 is inserted into the pin hole. During use, when the two external thread sleeves 20 are screwed into the corresponding thread positioning holes of the corresponding main steel plate 10 and auxiliary steel plate 26 to the lowest position, the external thread sleeves 20 can drive the main steel plate 10, the auxiliary steel plate 26 and the spinous process 22 to move upward together and be reliably fixed.

[0056] Embodiment 3

[0057] Positioning hooks 19 are arranged on the inner sides of both the main steel plate 10 and the auxiliary steel plate 26. The main steel plate 10 and the auxiliary steel plate 26 are respectively close to the spinous process 22, and the spinous process 22 is "held" by the positioning hooks on the corresponding two sides to achieve tight positioning. During use, when the two external thread sleeves 20 are screwed into the corresponding thread positioning holes of the corresponding main steel plate 10 and auxiliary steel plate 26 to the lowest position, the external thread sleeves 20 can drive the main steel plate 10, the auxiliary steel plate 26 and the spinous process 22 to move upward together and be reliably fixed.

Through the mutual cooperation of the external thread sleeve and the upward movement screw assembly, when the external thread sleeve is screwed into the positioning hole to the lowest position, the main steel plate, the auxiliary steel plate and the spinous process ligament complex can be driven to move upward together and be reliably fixed.
