Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of orthopedics, in particular to a porous structure. Background Art
[0002] After years of development, orthopedic implants have become mature. Traditional orthopedic implants, especially spinal products, are basically equipped with bone grafting chambers. The size of the bone grafting chamber determines the area of early bone ingrowth. If the bone grafting chamber is too large, the contact area between the orthopedic implant and the vertebrae is too small, which is prone to problems such as loosening, collapse, and non-fusion of the orthopedic implant, which in turn brings financial burden to patients.
[0003] The porous structure of conventional porous orthopedic implants is mostly composed of regular lattice arrangements. The regular lattices are mostly polyhedral structures such as regular tetrahedrons and hexahedrons. The bone implant chamber is mostly a hollow area that runs through the center of the orthopedic implant. The porous structure design in the prior art cannot take into account the two functional requirements of nutrient delivery and cell adhesion. These two functional requirements correspond to different pore size ranges. The porous structure of the prior art does not combine the porous structure units that meet the two pore size ranges together to form a full-range bone ingrowth channel.
[0004] In bone grafting surgery, doctors need to extract the patient's own bone or use allogeneic bone grafting materials. Taking autologous bone will cause greater trauma to the patient, and using allogeneic bone will incur additional costs and higher surgical costs. The cancellation of the bone grafting chamber can simplify the surgical process, reduce operation time, reduce the probability of surgical errors, and reduce the risk of intraoperative infection.
[0005] The utility model relates to a porous structure which can replace the design of a bone grafting bin and has a structure combining large pores and small pores with the functions of nutrient transport and cell adhesion. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a porous structure to replace the bone grafting chamber design in the orthopedic implant in the prior art, so as to solve the technical problem that the porous structure cannot take into account both the nutrient transport and cell adhesion functions.
[0007] An embodiment of the utility model is implemented as follows: a porous structure provided by the utility model includes: a lattice unit structure; a plurality of the lattice unit structures are arranged in order; the lattice unit structure has a first channel for nutrient transmission and waste discharge; a second channel is provided on the surface of the lattice unit structure and between any four adjacent lattice unit structures, and the second channel is used for cell attachment and growth.
[0008] Further, the second channel includes a primary channel and a secondary channel;
[0009] The primary pores are located on the surface of the lattice unit structure, and the secondary pores are located between any four adjacent lattice unit structures.
[0010] Furthermore, the pore size of the first channel is in the range of 300-1500 μm; the pore size of the second channel is in the range of 100-300 μm.
[0011] Furthermore, the lattice unit structure is in a diamond configuration.
[0012] Furthermore, the diamond configuration includes a hexadecahedron and a dodecahedron.
[0013] Furthermore, the first channel is a transverse cross-section and a longitudinal cross-section of the lattice unit structure, and the first channel is a polygonal structure.
[0014] Furthermore, the polygonal structure includes quadrilateral, pentagon, hexagon, octagon and decagon structures.
[0015] Furthermore, the primary channel has a polygonal structure.
[0016] Furthermore, the polygonal structure includes a quadrilateral, a pentagon, a hexagon, and an octagon.
[0017] Furthermore, a particle structure is arranged on the surface of the connecting rod structure, and the diameter of the particle structure ranges from 1 to 1000 nanometers.
[0018] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0019] The utility model provides a porous structure, including a lattice unit structure; each lattice unit structure has a first channel for nutrient transmission, waste discharge, and cell attachment and growth; a second channel is arranged on the surface of each lattice unit structure and between any four adjacent lattice unit structures, and the second channel is used for cell attachment and growth; the plurality of lattice unit structures arranged and formed have the ability to maintain bone formation space, and each lattice unit structure is provided with a protruding structure, which is conducive to increasing friction and improving the stability of the porous structure. And the arrangement of the first channel and the second channel can make it have the micro-flow field medium transmission capacity required for blood supply; the first channel and the second channel are more convenient for tissue fluid flow, promote the formation of capillary network inside the lattice unit structure, and provide necessary blood supply and nourishment for bone growth, alleviating the technical problems in the prior art that the bone grafting material used has poor bone growth effect and is difficult to maintain structural stability for a long time under external load.
