Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, specifically to a malleable bone graft bed and a spinal bone grafting surgical method. Background Technology
[0002] Posterior laminectomy for spinal decompression is the most common surgical procedure for treating spinal diseases such as spinal stenosis, spinal fractures, herniated discs, bone hyperplasia, intraspinal tumors and space-occupying lesions, and severe spinal deformities. Its purpose is to relieve or reduce compression of the dura mater, spinal cord, or nerve roots caused by shortening and reduced volume of the spinal canal and lateral recesses due to these various causes. More than half of all spinal surgeries utilize laminectomy for spinal decompression to varying degrees. Post-laminar decompression surgery, internal fixation using a rod-and-screw system and bone grafting fusion are generally required. Internal fixation provides immediate spinal stability, while bone grafting fusion ensures permanent spinal stability.
[0003] Currently, bone graft beds available for repairing bone defects after laminectomy and spinal canal decompression in spinal surgery are usually fixed with screws. That is, the bone graft bed is fixed to the patient's spine with screws. However, the use of screws can increase the difficulty of the operation and have an adverse effect on the patient's postoperative recovery. Summary of the Invention

[0032] The plastic bone graft bed 100 has a main body 10, a middle crease 11, an edge crease 12, a through hole 13, a polygonal hole 14, a notch 15, and a flat plate area 16. Detailed Implementation
[0033] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to specific embodiments. However, those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments described below are only for illustrating the present invention and should not be regarded as limiting the scope of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0034] like Figures 1-3As shown, the malleable bone graft bed 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a main body 10 and anchors (not shown). The main body 10 is formed by processing titanium alloy material. A central crease 11 is provided on the back of the main body 10, and two side creases 12 are provided on the front of the main body 10. The central crease 11 and the two side creases 12 located on both sides of the central crease 11 divide the main body 10 into four regions.
[0035] The two ends of the middle crease are designed with slits, and the two sides of the slits of the main body 10 can be connected to the patient's spine by anchors.
[0036] It should be noted that the anchor in this invention is a professional medical device. The front end of the anchor is a hook structure. The hook can pass through the two sides of the slit in the main body 10 and the patient's spine to fix the malleable bone graft bed 100 to the patient's spine.
[0037] Preferably, in this invention, the end of the hook is connected to a suture thread, and the hook can pass through the two sides of the suture opening of the main body 10 and the patient's spine. Thus, the suture thread passes through the two sides of the suture opening of the main body 10 and the patient's spine under the drive of the hook, so as to fix the malleable bone graft bed 100 to the patient's spine.
[0038] It is understood that when using the plastic bone graft bed 100 of the present invention, it is necessary to bend the plastic bone graft bed 100 along the opening direction of the middle fold 11 and the side fold 12 so that the middle position of the plastic bone graft bed 100 forms a "peak" and the two sides of the plastic bone graft bed 100 form a "flat ground".
[0039] Each area is provided with multiple through holes 13 arranged in a row, and every four through holes 13 form a polygonal hole 14. The four corners of the main body 10 are located below the nail heads of the screws in the nail bar system.
[0040] It should be noted that the main body 10 has a mesh structure, and the through hole 13 is designed as a round hole with a diameter of 2.5-3mm, so that bone fragments will not leak into the dura mater sac and the plastic bone graft bed 100 when the transplanted bone is embedded.
[0041] Preferably, the anchor can pass through the through hole 13.
[0042] The malleable bone graft bed 100 in this invention is made of medical titanium alloy. Medical titanium alloy has high strength, mechanical properties close to those of human bone, strength far superior to pure titanium, and also features fatigue resistance, corrosion resistance, strong malleability and excellent biocompatibility.
[0043] In some embodiments, there are two anchors, which connect the two ends of the main body 10 to the patient's spine.
[0044] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, notches 15 can be cut out at the four corners of the main body 10, and the edge of the notch 15 can be set below the screw head.
[0045] Understandably, the screw has a stud, and the notch 15 effectively prevents the body 10 from contacting and squeezing with the stud, which helps to improve the overall stability of the body 10.
[0046] In some embodiments, in the width direction of the body 10, the central crease 11 and the two side creases 12 located on both sides of the central crease 11 divide the width of the body 10 into four equal parts.
[0047] In some embodiments, the thickness of the body 10 is between 1.0 and 1.5 mm, and the depth of the middle crease 11 and the edge crease 12 is between 0.1 and 0.3 mm.
[0048] In some embodiments, the upper surface of the main body 10 is provided with a composite coating containing hydroxyapatite.
[0049] In some embodiments, the composite coating further includes calcium carbonate powder.
[0050] In some embodiments, the composite coating powder is laser cladding sprayed onto the surface of the titanium alloy substrate of the body 10, and the titanium alloy substrate of the body 10 is subjected to polarization treatment.
[0051] Preferably, the laser cladding spraying includes the following steps: first, a layer of titanium powder is laid on the cleaned titanium alloy substrate, and then a mixed powder is laid on the titanium powder, with a total powder thickness of 1 mm; laser cladding spraying is performed on the laid powder using a laser with a power of 600w to 1200w and a scanning speed of 3.8 to 11.2 mm / s, and argon is used as the protective gas.
[0052] Preferably, the polarization treatment includes the following steps: connecting the sprayed titanium alloy substrate to the anode of a constant current DC power supply, and using a titanium sheet as the cathode; placing the titanium alloy substrate and the titanium sheet simultaneously in an alkaline solution, and connecting the constant current DC power supply with a voltage of 80V, and polarizing for 3 minutes.
[0053] Preferably, the alkaline solution is a 1 mol / L NaOH solution.
[0054] In some embodiments, a bone particle placement layer is provided on the composite coating.
[0055] Understandably, bone grafting is performed on the composite coating. The grafted bone can be autologous bone, allogeneic bone, or artificial bone granules. The grafted bone is compacted and compacted, and the spinous processes of the vertebrae above and below the diseased vertebra are slightly trimmed to ensure full contact with the grafted bone and facilitate bone ingrowth. At the same time, various bone growth factors can be added to the grafted bone to accelerate bone healing.
[0056] In some embodiments, each region is surrounded by a flat plate region 16.
[0057] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a spinal bone grafting surgical method is used in which the above-mentioned malleable bone graft bed is operated on using a spinal bone grafting surgical method, the spinal bone grafting surgical method comprising:
[0058] S10, fixation of the spinal rod system near the patient's spine;
[0059] S20, the patient's laminectomy was performed;
[0060] S30, the plastic bone graft bed is placed at the laminectomy site of the patient. The two sides of the opening of the plastic bone graft bed are placed on both sides of the patient's spine, and the plastic bone graft bed is connected to the patient's spine by anchors.
[0061] In some embodiments, the spinal bone grafting surgical method further includes:
[0062] S40, with medical bone particles spread on the surface of the spinal titanium alloy bone graft bed.
[0063] In some embodiments, the method further includes the following after step S30:
[0064] S31, the four corners of the malleable bone graft bed are cut to create four notches, the edges of which can be positioned below the screw heads in the spinal rod system.
[0065] In this invention, spinal internal fixation surgery typically includes three main steps: first, fixation of the spinal rod system; second, laminectomy; and third, bone grafting.
[0066] In this invention, the spinal bone grafting surgical method mainly includes the specific details of the bone grafting steps.
