Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of knee joint prosthesis, in particular to a tibial platform assembly and a knee joint prosthesis with the same. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of modern orthopedic surgery, especially for knee joint replacement surgery, the tibial platform prosthesis plays a crucial role. The traditional design of the tibial platform prosthesis is mainly fixed, that is, the angle and height of the platform are determined at the factory, and cannot be personalized according to the specific anatomical characteristics of the patient and the rehabilitation situation after surgery. This limitation becomes particularly evident in the face of significant individual differences between patients, including but not limited to the morphological changes of the distal femur, the deviation of the lower extremity biomechanical line, and the state of soft tissue balance disorder, which are directly related to the success of artificial knee joint replacement surgery.

[0003] Specifically, the shortcomings of the fixed tibial platform prosthesis are as follows:

[0004] 1. Low matching degree of platform and femoral prosthesis contact surface: Due to the lack of flexibility, the traditional fixed structure is difficult to ideally match the unique distal femoral morphology of each patient, especially in the case of large joint range of motion or asymmetric joint space, which can cause poor contact, stress concentration and other problems, thereby affecting the stability and comfort of the joint.

[0005] 2. High risk of postoperative complications: Inaccurate matching can lead to a series of postoperative complications, such as joint instability, uneven stress distribution, accelerated prosthesis wear, persistent pain, and even prosthesis loosening, which not only affects the quality of life of patients, but also shortens the service life of the prosthesis.

[0006] 3. Unable to adjust: The tibial platform and tibial spacer of the tibial platform prosthesis on the market are fixed structures, that is, the relative position between the tibial platform and the tibial spacer has been determined at the time of manufacture, and cannot be adjusted at the time of implantation, which makes it impossible to adjust the relative position between the tibial platform and the tibial spacer according to the actual situation of the patient.

[0007] 4. Risk of secondary surgery: In the face of postoperative joint dysfunction or changes in patient's anatomical characteristics, the traditional prosthesis often needs to be corrected through secondary surgery, which not only increases the physical burden of the patient, but also may bring additional risks such as infection and bleeding.

Techniques, methods, and devices known to those of ordinary skill in the art can not be discussed in detail, but rather can be assumed to be known by those of ordinary skill in the art. In the examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values should be interpreted as merely illustrative, and not as a limitation on the scope of the exemplary embodiments. Thus, other examples of the exemplary embodiments can have different values. It is noted that like references and labels can be used to denote like items throughout the drawings, and thus, once an item is defined in one drawing, it is not necessary to further discuss it in subsequent drawings.

[0042] As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the tibial platform assembly of the embodiment comprises a tibial platform 10, a tibial shim 20, a first driving member 30 and a second driving member 40. The tibial shim 20 is arranged on the tibial platform 10 and movably connected with the tibial platform 10. The first driving member 30 is arranged on the tibial platform 10 and hingedly connected with the tibial shim 20, and the first driving member 30 has a first driving state and a first static state. When the first driving member 30 is in the first driving state, the first driving member 30 can be extended or retracted in the direction from the tibial platform 10 to the tibial shim 20. The second driving member 40 is arranged on the tibial platform 10 and hingedly connected with the tibial shim 20, and the second driving member 40 has a second driving state and a second static state. When the second driving member 40 is in the second driving state, the second driving member 40 can be extended or retracted in the direction from the tibial platform 10 to the tibial shim 20. The first driving member 30 and the second driving member 40 cooperate to adjust the distance and / or the inclination angle between the tibial shim 20 and the tibial platform 10.

[0043] By applying the technical solution of the embodiment, the tibial platform assembly comprises the tibial platform 10, the tibial shim 20, the first driving member 30 and the second driving member 40. The first driving member 30 and the second driving member 40 can be extended or retracted in the direction from the tibial platform 10 to the tibial shim 20. When one of the first driving member 30 and the second driving member 40 is extended or retracted, i.e., the first driving member 30 is in the first driving state or the second driving member is in the second driving state, the tibial shim 20 can be moved relative to the tibial platform 10, thereby adjusting the angle between the tibial shim 20 and the tibial platform 10. When the first driving member 30 and the second driving member 40 are both extended or retracted, the first driving member 30 and the second driving member 40 can simultaneously drive the tibial shim 20 to move relative to the tibial platform 10, thereby adjusting the distance between the tibial shim 20 and the tibial platform 10. When the first driving member 30 and the second driving member 40 are both not extended or retracted, the relative position between the tibial shim 20 and the tibial platform 10 remains unchanged. Therefore, the technical solution of the embodiment effectively solves the problem in the related art that the relative position between the tibial shim and the tibial platform cannot be adjusted.

[0044] It should be noted that the first driving member 30 and the second driving member 40 cooperate, which means that the first driving member 30 and / or the second driving member 40 is extended, or the first driving member 30 and / or the second driving member 40 is retracted, or the first driving member 30 and the second driving member 40 are both static, i.e., by the extension or retraction of the first driving member 30 and / or the second driving member 40, the distance and / or the inclination angle between the tibial shim 20 and the tibial platform 10 can be adjusted.

[0045] Specifically, when the first driving member 30 is in the first driving state and the second driving member 40 is in the second driving state, the distance between the tibial pad 20 and the tibial platform 10 can be adjusted, i.e., the distance between the tibial pad 20 and the tibial platform 10 is increased or decreased.

[0046] When the first driving member 30 is in the first driving state and the second driving member 40 is in the second static state, or the first driving member 30 is in the first static state and the second driving member 40 is in the second driving state, the angle of inclination between the tibial pad 20 and the tibial platform 10 can be adjusted.

[0047] When the first driving member 30 is in the first static state and the second driving member 40 is in the second static state, the tibial pad 20 and the tibial platform 10 remain relatively static.

[0048] The shortest line between the axis of the first driving member 30 and the axis of the second driving member 40 is perpendicular to the direction from the tibial platform 10 to the tibial pad 20.

[0049] In the present embodiment, the direction from the tibial platform 10 to the tibial pad 20 refers to the direction from the tibial platform 10 to the side of the tibial pad 20 that is parallel to the tibial platform 10.

[0050] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 6 In the present embodiment, the first driving member 30 includes a connecting column 31 and a driving screw 32, the first end of the driving screw 32 is rotatably arranged on the tibial platform 10, the first end of the connecting column 31 is threadedly connected with the second end of the driving screw 32, the second end of the connecting column 31 is hingedly connected with the tibial pad 20, and the middle part of the connecting column 31 is rotationally connected with the tibial platform 10, so that the connecting column 31 can move along the axial direction thereof. The driving screw 32 can rotate relative to the tibial platform 10, and in turn, the driving screw 32 can drive the connecting column 31 to move relative to the tibial platform 10, i.e., the connecting column 31 can move relative to the tibial platform 10 along the direction from the tibial platform 10 to the tibial pad 20, and in turn, the first driving member 30 can be extended or retracted along the direction from the tibial platform 10 to the tibial pad 20. The middle part of the connecting column 31 is rotationally connected with the tibial platform 10, so that the connecting column 31 cannot rotate relative to the tibial platform 10, to ensure that the connecting column 31 can move along the direction from the tibial platform 10 to the tibial pad 20.

[0051] It should be noted that the second driving member 40 has the same structure as the first driving member 30.

[0052] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, the first driving component 30 further includes a first magnet 33, which is disposed on the driving screw 32. The external driving mechanism can cooperate with the first magnet 33 to drive the driving screw 32 to rotate. The external driving mechanism can generate a magnetic field, and under the action of the magnetic field, the first magnet 33 can drive the driving screw 32 to rotate. Furthermore, driven by the external driving mechanism, the distance and tilt angle between the tibial pad 20 and the tibial plateau 10 can be adjusted even after the tibial plateau component is implanted.

[0053] It should be noted that the first magnet 33 is a radially magnetized magnet.

[0054] The external drive mechanism enables non-invasive adjustment of the angle and distance between the tibial pad and the tibial plateau without the need for a second surgery, avoiding the intervention of internal instruments and reducing the risk of infection and the complexity of the surgery.

[0055] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the tibial plateau assembly further includes an anti-rotation structure 50. The anti-rotation structure 50 includes a guide block 51 and a guide groove that guides and cooperates with the guide block 51. A first mounting hole 11 is provided on the tibial plateau 10. The guide block 51 is disposed on the outer surface of the connecting post 31, and the guide groove is disposed on the tibial plateau 10 and located on the inner wall of the first mounting hole 11. The guide block 51 can slide within the guide groove, which allows the connecting post 31 to not only slide smoothly relative to the tibial plateau 10, but also prevents the connecting post 31 from rotating relative to the tibial plateau 10.

[0056] In other embodiments, a guide groove is disposed on the outer surface of the connecting post 31, and a guide block 51 is disposed on the tibial platform 10 and located on the inner wall of the first mounting hole 11.

[0057] The anti-rotation structure 50 includes multiple anti-rotation structures 50, which are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the connecting column 31.

[0058] It should be noted that the tibial plateau assembly also includes a bearing structure, which comprises a needle roller bearing and a thrust bearing. The needle roller bearing is disposed between the outer periphery of the connecting column 31 and the tibial plateau 10, and is located within the first mounting hole 11. The thrust bearing is disposed at the end of the connecting column 31. By incorporating the needle roller bearing and the thrust bearing, the rotation of the connecting column becomes more stable.

[0059] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the first end of the connecting post 31 is provided with a threaded hole. The axis of the threaded hole is parallel to the direction from the tibial plateau 10 to the tibial pad 20, and the driving screw 32 passes through the threaded hole. The driving screw 32 can rotate within the threaded hole, thereby driving the connecting post 31 to move relative to the tibial plateau 10.

[0060] As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 In the embodiment, the tibial platform assembly further comprises a locking member 60, which is adjustably arranged on the tibial platform 10. The locking member 60 has a rotation-stopping state and an avoiding state. A recess 321 is arranged on the outer surface of the drive screw 32. When the locking member 60 is in the rotation-stopping state, the locking member 60 is inserted into the recess 321 to limit the rotation of the drive screw 32. When the locking member 60 is in the avoiding state, the locking member 60 is separated from the recess 321. When the locking member 60 moves on the tibial platform, the locking member 60 can be inserted into or separated from the recess 321, i.e., the locking member 60 can be switched between the rotation-stopping state and the avoiding state. When the locking member 60 is inserted into the recess 321, the locking member 60 can limit the rotation of the drive screw 32, i.e., the first driving member 30 is in the first stationary state. At this time, the second driving member 40 can be in the second driving state, and the second driving member 40 can drive the tibial pad 20 to move relative to the tibial platform 10 to adjust the inclination angle between the tibial pad 20 and the tibial platform 10.

[0061] As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 In the embodiment, the recess 321 is a plurality of recesses 321, which are arranged on the outer surface of the drive screw 32 in the circumferential direction of the drive screw 32. When the locking member 60 is in the rotation-stopping state, one end of the locking member 60 is inserted into one of the plurality of recesses 321. By arranging a plurality of recesses 321, the locking member 60 has more choices compared with arranging one recess 321. If the first driving member 30 needs to be switched to the first stationary state, the drive screw 32 needs to be rotated to align the recess 321 with the locking member 60, which causes the relative angle between the tibial pad 20 and the tibial platform 10 to change during the rotation of the drive screw 32 when only one recess 321 is arranged. Therefore, arranging a plurality of recesses 321 can more accurately control the adjustment of the inclination angle between the tibial pad 20 and the tibial platform 10.

[0062] It should be noted that the length direction of the recess 321 is parallel to the direction from the tibial platform 10 to the tibial pad 20.

[0063] As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in the embodiment, the locking member 60 comprises a rotation-stopping screw 61 and a second magnet 62 arranged on the rotation-stopping screw 61, and the tibial platform 10 is provided with a second mounting hole which is arranged in communication with the first mounting hole 11, the rotation-stopping screw 61 is arranged in the second mounting hole, and the external driving mechanism can cooperate with the second magnet 62 to rotate the rotation-stopping screw 61. The external driving mechanism can generate a magnetic field, and further control the rotation of the second magnet 62, so that the second magnet 62 drives the rotation-stopping screw 61 to rotate, and thus one end of the rotation-stopping screw 61 can extend into the recess 321, or one end of the rotation-stopping screw 61 is away from the recess 321.

[0064] It should be noted that the second magnet 62 is an axial magnetization magnet.

[0065] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , in the embodiment, the tibial pad 20 comprises a first pad 21 and a second pad 22, the first pad 21 is movably connected with the tibial platform 10, the first pad 21 comprises a pad body 211 and a stop plate 212, the pad body 211 is provided with a first mounting groove 2111, and the stop plate 212 is arranged on the pad body 211 and located at the first mounting groove 2111, the connecting column 31 comprises a column body 311 and a hemisphere 312 arranged on an end of the column body 311 away from the driving screw 32, the column body 311 is threadedly connected with the driving screw 32, the maximum outer dimension of the surface where the hemisphere 312 meets the column body 311 is greater than the outer diameter of the column body 311, and the hemisphere 312 is stopperingly connected with the stop plate 212. The hemisphere 312 can be arranged in the first mounting groove 2111, so that the connecting column 31 can be connected with the pad body 211. The maximum outer dimension of the surface where the hemisphere 312 meets the column body 311 is greater than the outer diameter of the column body 311, so that the part of the hemisphere 312 protruding from the column body 311 in the radial direction of the column body 311 can be stopperingly connected with the stop plate 212, so that the hemisphere 312 can be prevented from falling off from the first mounting groove 2111.

[0066] It should be noted that the inner surface of the first mounting groove 2111 is spherical, and the shape thereof is matched with the shape of the outer surface of the hemisphere 312.

[0067] The second pad 22 is fixedly arranged on the tibial platform 10. In other embodiments, the second pad 22 can also be arranged to be movable relative to the tibial platform 10.

[0068] The first driving member 30 and the second driving member 40 are both arranged between the tibial platform 10 and the first pad 21.

[0069] The hemisphere 312 is located at the end of the column. The maximum external dimension of the surface where the hemisphere 312 and the column 311 meet refers to the diameter of the surface where the hemisphere 312 and the column 311 meet being greater than the diameter of the column 311.

[0070] Hemisphere 312 is not necessarily a standard hemisphere; it can also be a part of a hemisphere.

[0071] like Figures 3 to 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the stop plate 212 includes a first plate 2121 and a second plate 2122. The gasket body 211 also has a second mounting groove 2112. The first plate 2121 and the second plate 2122 are movably disposed within the second mounting groove 2112. The first plate 2121 and the second plate 2122 can move closer to each other or further away from each other. The hemisphere 312 is in stop-fitting cooperation with both the first plate 2121 and the second plate 2122. When the first plate 2121 and the second plate 2122 move further away from each other, the hemisphere 312 can pass through the gap between the first plate 2121 and the second plate 2122 and be installed in the first mounting groove 2111. When the first plate 2121 and the second plate 2122 move closer to each other, the first plate 2121 and the second plate 2122 can stop the hemisphere 312.

[0072] It should be noted that the tibial plateau assembly also includes a sealing plate 70, which is disposed within the second mounting groove 2112, with the first plate 2121 located between the second plate 2122 and the sealing plate 70. By providing the sealing plate 70, the first plate 2121 and the second plate 2122 can be confined within the second mounting groove 2112, preventing the first plate 2121 and the second plate 2122 from detaching from the second mounting groove 2112.

[0073] The tibial plateau assembly also includes a first elastic element 80 and a second elastic element 90. The first elastic element 80 is disposed between the closing plate 70 and the first plate 2121, and the second elastic element 90 is disposed between the second plate 2122 and the inner wall of the second mounting groove 2112.
