Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of artificial wrist joints, and in particular to a tantalum metal joint prosthesis with a gradual porous structure and a wear-resistant layer. Background Art

[0002] The wrist joint is composed of several small joints, including the radiocarpal joint, the intercarpal joint, and the carpometacarpal joint. These three primary joints (except for the carpometacarpal joint of the thumb) work together to form a wrist joint with a wide range of motion. Specifically, the carpal joint is the joint between the distal radius and the proximal carpal bone row (excluding the pisiform bone), known as the radiocarpal joint.

[0003] The wrist joint is essential for daily and work functions. Its wide range of motion and complex structure make it susceptible to necrosis and injury during daily life. Currently, the primary approach to treating wrist defects is arthrodesis for wrist disorders such as traumatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and degenerative arthritis. Prosthesis implantation can effectively relieve pain and improve function. However, short-term and long-term fixation issues such as prosthetic loosening, subsidence, fracture, and dislocation remain.

[0004] While a wide variety of artificial implant materials exist, the quality of artificial joints does not fully meet clinical needs, leading to certain limitations in current wrist prostheses. First, the biocompatibility of the materials used is low, increasing the risk of postoperative infection. Second, the prosthesis design and production do not adequately adapt to the physiological curvature of the radius, increasing friction between soft tissue and muscle, and worsening the risk of postoperative complications. Finally, due to incomplete fit and severe wear on the joint surface, the prosthesis lifespan is short. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical issues of incomplete integration of artificial wrist prostheses with muscles and soft tissues, severe wear at the joint, and a short service life, a tantalum metal wrist prosthesis with a gradient porous structure and a wear-resistant layer is provided. This invention primarily utilizes the gradient porous structure of the proximal implant and the wear-resistant coating on the concave surface of the joint ball to improve the service life and stability of the wrist prosthesis and reduce wear. The elliptical, shaped ball head and curved notch are designed to conform to the structure and original curvature of the human wrist joint, enhancing the compatibility of the wrist prosthesis with the human body.

[0006] The technical means adopted in the present invention are as follows:

[0007] A tantalum wrist joint prosthesis with a gradually changing porous structure and a wear-resistant layer, comprising: a distal implant, a special-shaped ball head, and a proximal implant. The distal implant comprises a distal insertion plug, a proximal platform, and a circular pin. The distal insertion plug is located at one end of the proximal platform, and the circular pin is provided at the other end of the proximal platform. The circular pin is provided with a protrusion on the outside.

[0008] The overall shape of the special-shaped ball head is an ellipsoid with a small half-notch. One end of the special-shaped ball head is provided with a socket matching the circular pin, so that the distal implant is plugged and fixed to the special-shaped ball head. The other end of the special-shaped ball head is a convex ball structure.

[0009] The proximal implant includes a concave joint ball and a gradient porous structure segment. The surface of the concave joint ball is provided with a coating, and the coating contacts the surface of the convex ball structure of the special-shaped ball head. The concave joint ball and the convex ball structure cooperate with each other to establish a connection between the proximal implant and the special-shaped ball head to form a compensatory wrist joint.

[0010] Furthermore, the coating is processed by plasma spraying, chemical or physical vapor deposition, friction welding, micro-arc oxidation or laser cladding, the roughness of the coating is 0.001 to 0.1 um, the thickness is 0.2 to 50 mm, and the material of the coating is cobalt alloy, titanium alloy, niobium alloy, or zirconium alloy.

[0011] Furthermore, the distal implant is divided into a joint side and a side in contact with the palm bones according to the joint position. The palm bone contact side includes the distal insertion plug and the top of the proximal platform, and the joint side includes the side and bottom of the proximal platform and the circular pin. The outer surface of the joint side of the distal implant has a smooth outer skin of 0.3 to 0.7 mm. The side of the distal implant in contact with the palm bones is provided with a porous structure. The pore range of the porous structure is 200 to 800 um, the wire diameter is 0.2 to 1.5 mm, and the porosity is 50% to 95%.

[0012] Furthermore, the proximal implant has a through hole near the concave joint ball, and the overall length of the proximal implant is within the size range of the human radius. The ulnar deviation angle of the outer surface of the concave joint ball is 10° to 20°, and the palmar inclination angle is 7° to 15°.

[0013] Furthermore, the porosity of the gradient porous structure segment is 50% to 95%, the wire diameter is 0.2 to 1.5 mm, the thickness of the porous layer in the gradient porous structure segment is 0.25 to 5 mm, and the gradient porous structure segment is divided into a large pore area, a medium pore area and a small pore area in sequence. The large pore area is close to the concave ball part of the joint, and the pore size range of the large pore area is 400 to 1500 um. The tail end of the proximal implant is the small pore area, and the pore size range of the small pore area is 200 to 600 um. The porous layer has a gradual thickness change from the large pore area to the small pore area, ranging from 0.1 to 5 mm, and the length of the gradient porous structure segment is 0.1 to 5 mm.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes screw I, screw II and screw III;

[0015] The screws 1 cooperate with the screw holes 1 provided on the proximal platform, and the number of the screws 1 and the screw holes 1 is determined according to actual conditions;

[0016] The proximal platform is an elliptical structure with a concave arc surface on the bottom surface. The major and minor axis diameters of the elliptical structure are within the size range of the human wrist joint. The distal insertion bolt is a long cylindrical structure with a screw hole II provided near the proximal platform. The screw II is used in conjunction with the screw hole II.

[0017] The proximal implant is provided with a through hole, and the screw III is used in conjunction with the through hole.

[0018] Furthermore, the proximal implant and the distal implant are made of tantalum or tantalum alloy, and are manufactured using integrated metal additive manufacturing technology.

[0019] Furthermore, the tantalum metal wrist joint prosthesis with a gradient porous structure and a wear-resistant layer can be distinguished between the left hand and the right hand.

[0020] Furthermore, the types of the gradient porous structure and the porous structure include one or both of a repeating unit cell type and a non-repeating unit cell type.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0022] 1. The present invention provides a tantalum metal wrist joint prosthesis with a gradient porous structure and a wear-resistant layer. Through the porous structure provided on the distal implant and the gradient porous structure provided on the proximal implant, the small pore size portion provides conditions for bone ingrowth, thereby increasing the stability between the wrist joint prosthesis and the bone. The large pore size portion achieves lightweight without affecting the mechanical strength, and the gradient porous structure makes the wrist joint prosthesis free of stress concentration.

[0023] 2. The present invention provides a tantalum metal wrist joint prosthesis with a gradient porous structure and a wear-resistant layer. By designing an elliptical special-shaped ball head and an arc-shaped notch, it fits the structure of the human wrist joint and the original surface curvature, thereby increasing the adaptability of the wrist joint prosthesis to the human body, reducing the complexity of the prosthesis, and improving its service life.

[0024] 3. The present invention provides a tantalum metal wrist joint prosthesis with a gradient porous structure and a wear-resistant layer. By adding a wear-resistant metal coating on the surface of the concave ball of the joint, the wear resistance of the joint surface is greatly enhanced, while the possibility of debris falling from the joint surface due to wear is reduced, thereby further extending the service life of the wrist joint prosthesis.

[0025] Based on the above reasons, the present invention can be widely promoted in the fields of artificial wrist joints and the like. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0032] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0033] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present invention and its application or use. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present invention. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should be understood that when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components and / or combinations thereof.

[0035] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement of the parts and steps, numerical expressions and numerical values described in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention. At the same time, it should be clear that, for ease of description, the sizes of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn according to the actual proportional relationship. The techniques, methods and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant fields may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the techniques, methods and equipment should be considered as part of the authorization specification. In all examples shown and discussed here, any specific value should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as a limitation. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar numbers and letters represent similar items in the following figures, so once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0036] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the directions or positional relationships indicated by directional words such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" are usually based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise specified, these directional words do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction or be constructed and operated in a specific direction.

Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below". The device can also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptions used here are interpreted accordingly.

[0038] In addition, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to limit components is only for the convenience of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

The palm bone contact side includes the distal insertion plug 11 and the top of the proximal platform 12. The joint side is a solid structure, including the side and bottom of the proximal platform 12 and the circular pin 14. The outer surface of the joint side of the distal implant 10 has a smooth outer skin of 0.3 to 0.7 mm. The side of the distal implant 10 in contact with the palm bones is provided with a porous structure 13. The pore range of the porous structure 13 is 200 to 800 um, and the porosity is 50% to 95%.

[0048] The smooth outer skin is used to ensure smooth contact between the distal implant 10 and soft tissue, and the porous structure 13 forms a biological fixation with the bone to increase the stability in use.

[0049] Furthermore, the proximal platform 12 is an elliptical structure and a concave arc surface is provided on the bottom surface. The major and minor axis diameters of the elliptical structure are within the size range of the human wrist joint. The distal insertion plug 11 is a long cylindrical structure and a screw hole II 15 is provided near the proximal platform 12. The screw hole II 15 is used in conjunction with the screw II.

[0050] The concave arcuate surface is used for placing hand tendons such as the flexor digitorum profundus tendon.

[0051] Furthermore, the proximal implant 30 has a through hole 32 near the concave joint ball 31, and the overall length of the proximal implant 30 is within the size range of the human radius. The ulnar deviation angle of the outer surface of the concave joint ball 31 is 10° to 20°, and the palmar inclination angle is 7° to 15°.

[0052] Furthermore, it also includes screws I 40, which cooperate with the screw holes I set on the proximal platform 12. The number of the screws I 40 and the screw holes I is determined according to actual conditions.

[0053] Furthermore, the proximal implant 30 and the distal implant 10 are made of tantalum or tantalum alloy, and are manufactured using metal additive manufacturing technology for integrated manufacturing.

[0054] Furthermore, the tantalum metal wrist joint prosthesis with a gradient porous structure and a wear-resistant layer can be distinguished between the left hand and the right hand.
