Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of intervertebral fusion devices, and in particular relates to a minimally invasive combined intervertebral fusion device. Background Art

[0002] An intervertebral fusion device is a medical device used in spinal surgery to promote bone fusion in the spinal space and provide stability to the vertebrae. It is usually implanted in the space between the vertebrae (i.e., the intervertebral space) to stabilize the two adjacent vertebrae together with the help of bone fusion or bone graft materials, reduce or eliminate the activity of the intervertebral disc, and achieve the purpose of relieving pain. In some operations, the intervertebral fusion device stabilizes the spine through a permanent structure, avoiding later problems caused by excessive movement, such as intervertebral disc degeneration or regeneration problems. In general, the role of the intervertebral fusion device is to promote bone fusion, provide support, relieve pain and compression, and ultimately help patients restore the function and stability of the spine and improve their quality of life.

[0003] The existing intervertebral fusion device has a relatively simple structural design. Usually, spikes and a supporting mechanism are provided on the outer shell of the device. The outer shell of the device is expanded by the supporting mechanism, and the spikes on the outer shell are clamped between the two vertebrae to firmly connect the device to the vertebrae. However, the space between the two cones is irregular, so that the outer shell of the device cannot effectively contact the inner surface of the cone after it is expanded, so that the vertebrae may slip or dislocate, further increasing the burden on the spine, and even causing compression of the spinal cord or nerve roots, increasing the patient's pain. Summary of the invention

The functionality is strong, and there is no need to replace the entire fusion device. It can be adjusted according to the size of the intervertebral space to meet different needs.

[0008] Furthermore, the front and rear ends of one side of the fusion device sub-shell are fixedly connected to a connecting frame, the other side between the two connecting frames is fixedly connected to a fixing plate, a movable groove is provided at the center of the fusion device sub-shell, rectangular grooves are provided at the top and bottom of the fusion device sub-shell, a plurality of slots are provided on the inner wall of the fusion device sub-shell near the movable groove, limiting slots are provided at the front and rear ends of one side of the fusion device sub-shell, and an axle seat is fixedly connected to the inner center of the fixing plate.

[0021] Through the above technical solution, when the first support block and the second support block move, the corresponding second limit pin is driven to move in the corresponding first slot, so that the two fusion device sub-shells are slowly expanded. The expansion range of the two fusion device sub-shells can be adjusted according to the size of the space between the two vertebrae of the patient, so that one side can have a larger amplitude and the other side can have a smaller amplitude, thus meeting different needs and having strong functionality.

Similarly, the second locking head 403 is rotated by a tool, so that the second locking head 403 drives the rotating cylinder 402 to rotate, thereby driving the first support block 405 to move, thereby driving the plurality of first limiting pins 406 and the plurality of second limiting pins 407 to move, and under the limitation of the corresponding limiting holes 12, the two fusion device sub-shells 2 are slowly spread apart, so that the spreading amplitudes on both sides of the two fusion device sub-shells 2 are roughly the same, and are clamped with the vertebrae through the plurality of first cone spikes 11; When the space between the two vertebrae is irregular, it is necessary to adaptively adjust the expansion amplitude of the first supporting mechanism 4 and the second supporting mechanism 5 according to the size of the space. Since the two fusion device sub-shells 2 are made of polymer material and the two second notches 14 are dividing points, the two fusion device sub-shells 2 can have a larger amplitude on one side and a smaller amplitude on the other side, or a larger amplitude on the other side and a smaller amplitude on the other side. Both can fit with the contact surfaces of vertebrae with different curvatures to achieve implant fusion.
