Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular relates to a high-stability anterior cervical vertebrae fixation intervertebral fusion device with a coating. Background Art

[0002] Anterior cervical interbody resection, decompression and fusion is a routine cervical surgery. The existing intervertebral fusion device used in this operation includes a fusion device and an anterior cervical plate. The appearance of the fusion device is a thick plate with the same anatomical morphology as the cervical intervertebral disc. A through bone grafting window is provided in the middle of the fusion device, and anti-reverse teeth are provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the fusion device. The anterior cervical plate is provided with screw holes. During the operation, the fusion device is implanted between the vertebrae, and the anterior cervical plate is fixed to the upper and lower vertebrae adjacent to the fusion device by screws to position the fusion device. The anterior cervical plate of this intervertebral fusion device is fixed in front of the vertebral body and behind the esophagus. Due to the notch of the plate, it is easy to cause different degrees of compression and influence on the esophagus. Some patients have difficulty swallowing after the operation, especially multi-segment fixation. The effect is more obvious. The mild case affects the patient's normal life, and the severe case is complicated by esophageal fistula and even leads to death. And as time goes by, there is often a risk of loosening of the screws.

[0003] In response to the above technical problems, the applicant has retrieved some prior art, such as the Chinese patent with patent publication number CN215459008U, which can prevent the bone screw from withdrawing and ensure the fusion effect by rotating the anti-retraction screw. However, in order to enable the bone screw to be connected to the upper and lower vertebral bodies, the two guide holes for installing the bone screw are opened at an angle upward and downward respectively. After the bone screw is fixed to the upper and lower cones, and the anti-retraction screw is rotated to resist the bone screw, only the edge of the anti-retraction screw nut is in contact with the bone screw head. Since the bone screw is in an inclined state after installation, if the bone screw is loosened when it is withdrawn, the bone screw can still press the edge of the nut and drive the nut to rotate, thereby causing the anti-retraction screw to fail to fix. Summary of the invention

[0004] The utility model aims to solve the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a high-stability cervical anterior fixation intervertebral fusion device with a coating that can effectively limit the position of bone screws to avoid the phenomenon of loosening of bone screws.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0027] See also Figure 1-Figure 8A high-stability cervical anterior fixation intervertebral fusion device with a coating, comprising a fusion body 1, a cover plate 2 and a stop plate 11, the fusion body 1 is symmetrically provided with sliding grooves 6 on both sides, and a mounting block 7 is arranged in the sliding groove 6, the cover plate 2 is symmetrically provided with sliding plates 4, the sliding plates 4 are provided with mounting grooves 5, and the sliding plates 4 are slidably matched with the sliding grooves 6, and the mounting block 7 is clamped and installed with the mounting grooves 5;

[0028] The cover plate 2 is provided with a guide hole 8, which is threadedly matched with the bone screw 3. The stop plate 11 is threadedly connected with the rotating column 13. The rotating column 13 is provided with a sliding block 21, and the sliding block 21 is provided with a locking groove 20. The cover plate 2 is provided with vertical grooves 10 and horizontal grooves 14, respectively. The horizontal groove 14 is located in the vertical groove 10, and the vertical groove 10 and the horizontal groove 14 are perpendicular to each other. A sliding groove 15 is provided in the horizontal groove 14, and a spring 12 is installed in the sliding groove 15. The rotating column 13 slides with the sliding groove 15, and the rotating column 13 abuts against the spring 12. A first annular groove 16 and a second annular groove 17 are provided inside the sliding groove 15, and the first annular groove 16 and the second annular groove 17 are connected by a transverse groove 19. A circular locking block 18 is provided on the second annular groove 17, and the locking groove 20 is engaged with the sliding block 21.

[0029] It should be noted that, in the unlocked state, the backstop plate 11 is located inside the vertical slot 10 and does not interfere with the installation path of the bone screw 3. Figure 1 , Figure 3 In the locked state, the backstop plate 11 is located inside the horizontal groove 14, and the backstop plate 11 can abut against the head of the bone screw 3.

[0030] See also Figure 7-Figure 8 The anti-recoil plate 11 is provided with an annular concave platform 22, and the rotating column 13 is provided with an annular convex platform 23, and the annular concave platform 22 and the annular convex platform 23 cooperate with each other. It should be noted that the purpose of the cooperation between the annular concave platform 22 and the annular convex platform 23 is to limit the anti-recoil plate 11. In the locked state, the cooperation between the annular concave platform 22 and the annular convex platform 23 between the anti-recoil plate 11 and the rotating column 13 can effectively prevent the anti-recoil plate 11 from sliding out of the horizontal groove 14.

[0031] See also Figure 1-Figure 2 The guide holes 8 include two guide holes, one of which has an axis that is tilted upward, and the other of which has an axis that is tilted downward. The axes of the two guide holes 8 intersect and form a certain angle. It should be noted that the two bone screws 3 are threadedly connected to the guide holes 8, so that the bone screws 3 can be fixedly connected to the upper vertebral body and the lower vertebral body in the vertebral lesion gap.

[0032] See also Figure 1-Figure 2The inner walls of the fusion body 1 are provided with avoidance grooves 9 coaxial with the guide hole 8 on both sides. In order to avoid the installation of the bone screw 3, arc-shaped avoidance grooves 9 coaxial with the guide hole 8 are provided on the inner walls of the fusion body 1 on both sides.

[0033] Specifically, the fusion body 1 is made of PEEK material, and the upper and lower surfaces of the fusion body 1 are coated with pure titanium. By performing coating surface modification treatment on the upper and lower surfaces of the components made of PEEK material, it is beneficial to the bone integration / bone growth of the fusion device-bone interface in the early postoperative period. The surface of the fusion body 1 can also be sprayed with hydroxyapatite (HA) coating and Ti+HA double coating.

[0034] Specifically, the cover plate 2 is made of titanium alloy. It should be noted that the bone screw 3 is a developing screw.

[0035] The implementation principle of the utility model is as follows: during the operation, the sliding plate 4 on the cover plate 2 is inserted into the sliding groove 6, and the cover plate 2 is pushed to make the sliding plate 4 slide upward along the sliding groove 6. When the installation fixing groove 5 is engaged with the installation fixing block 7, the installation of the cover plate 2 is completed, and then the fusion body 1 is placed into the intervertebral space of the disease, and the two bone screws 3 are screwed in along the guide hole 8, so that the two bone screws 3 respectively fix the upper vertebral body and the lower vertebral body in the intervertebral space.

[0036] The rotating column 13 is turned 90 degrees clockwise. Through the threaded cooperation between the rotating column 13 and the backstop plate 11, the rotating column 13 rotates clockwise to drive the backstop plate 11 to rotate synchronously. At the same time, the sliding block 21 located in the first annular groove 16 rotates. When the backstop plate 11 is parallel to the horizontal groove 14, the sliding block 21 cooperates with the transverse groove 19 to push the rotating column 13, so that the backstop plate 11 moves into the horizontal groove 14. At the same time, the sliding block 21 slides along the transverse groove 19. When the transverse groove 19 reaches the second annular groove 16, the sliding block 21 rotates. After the groove 17 is formed, the backstop plate 11 can abut the head of the bone screw 3. At this time, the rotating column 13 is rotated counterclockwise. Through the threaded cooperation of the rotating column 13 and the backstop plate 11, the counterclockwise rotation of the rotating column 13 will not drive the backstop plate 11 to rotate. The counterclockwise rotation of the rotating column 13 can drive the sliding block 21 to slide in the second annular groove 17. When the locking groove 20 on the sliding block 21 is engaged with the circular locking block 18 in the second annular groove 17, the bone screw 3 is limited and fixed.

[0037] In the locked state, the backstop plate 11 is in a horizontal state and is located in the horizontal groove 14. When the bone screw 3 is loose, since the bone screw 3 is in an inclined state after installation, the head of the bone screw 3 will press against the backstop plate 11 and drive the backstop plate 11 to rotate. Since the backstop plate 11 is located in the horizontal groove 14, the horizontal groove 14 can limit the rotation of the backstop plate 11, thereby effectively fixing the bone screw 3.

[0038] The above shows and describes the basic principle, main features and advantages of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments, and the above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, the utility model may have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements fall within the scope of the utility model to be protected.
