AI Technical Summary
Existing vertebral implants are rigid, which leads to stiffness after spinal fusion and makes it impossible to restore the original spinal function.
An artificial vertebral body implant capable of maintaining a certain degree of mobility was designed, comprising an upper part, a lower part, and an elastic washer, which are connected by connecting holes and connecting parts, and can be finely adjusted under the natural force of the spine. The mobility is enhanced by using a ball head and a spherical groove, and the elastic washer and protrusion are combined to enhance the fusion effect.
The implant moves slightly under the natural force of the spine, and after fusion, it is indistinguishable from a normal spine, restoring the spine's natural mobility and enhancing its lifespan and fusion effect.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical scheme of the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.
[0021] In this document, the terms "upper", "lower", "inner", "outer" and the like are established based on the positional relationship shown in the drawings, and according to different drawings, the corresponding positional relationship may also change accordingly, therefore, it cannot be understood as an absolute limitation on the scope of protection; moreover, relationship terms such as "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish one component from another component with the same name, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between the components.
[0022] EMBODIMENT
[0023] As Figures 1-5The artificial vertebral body implant capable of maintaining a certain degree of activity includes: an upper implant portion provided with a connecting hole; a lower implant portion provided with a connecting portion extending into the connecting hole to realize the connection of the upper implant portion and the lower implant portion; and an elastic washer provided between the upper implant portion and the lower implant portion and provided with a through hole matched with the connecting portion.
[0024] Specifically, the upper implant portion, the lower implant portion and the elastic washer combine to form the artificial vertebral body implant, which is used to be implanted on adjacent vertebral segments of the human body. After implantation, the artificial vertebral body implant can be fine-tuned according to the natural stress state of the spine, and after fusion of the artificial vertebral body implant, there is no significant difference with the normal spine. In detail, the connecting portion only extends into the connecting hole, and the elastic washer can deform under the natural stress of the spine, that is, the upper implant portion and the lower implant portion can move vertically under the action of natural stress.
[0025] Further, it further includes: a ball head connected to the connecting portion; and a spherical groove provided on the upper implant portion and communicating with the connecting hole, the spherical groove being matched with the ball head. When the elastic washer is in a normal state, the ball head abuts against the spherical groove, and the spherical contact between the ball head and the spherical groove allows the upper implant portion and the lower implant portion to rotate relative to each other, further improving the degree of activity of the artificial vertebral body implant.
[0026] Further, a first circular arc transition portion is provided between the ball head and the connecting portion, and a second circular arc transition portion is provided between the connecting portion and the lower implant portion. The first circular arc transition portion and the second circular arc transition portion can effectively avoid stress concentration and enhance the service life of the artificial vertebral body implant.
[0027] Further, a plurality of protrusions are provided at an end of the upper implant portion away from the lower implant portion, and a plurality of protrusions are provided at an end of the lower implant portion away from the upper implant portion. The protrusions are used to increase the contact area of the upper implant portion and the lower implant portion with the vertebral body, so that they are more easily fused.
[0028] Further, it further includes: an opening provided on the elastic washer. The opening is provided to make the elastic washer more easily placed between the upper implant portion and the lower implant portion.
[0029] Further, the opening is obliquely provided. The oblique arrangement of the opening can effectively avoid the weakness of the elastic washer at a certain angle, and by obliquely arranging the opening, the overall strength of the elastic washer can be improved.
[0030] The above-described technical features can be combined in any manner. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations are described, but it is to be understood that the scope of the present specification includes all possible combinations.
