AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing screw fixation systems have poor fixation in patients with osteoporosis and pose a risk of screw retraction, especially during revision surgery where the fixation effect is reduced. Existing expansion screws can only expand and fix the ends, resulting in a small fixation area and insufficient force.

Method used

Design a pedicle screw with an expansion sleeve and a screw body. The expansion sleeve is made of non-metallic material and includes a head section, a middle section and a tail section. The head section and the tail section are provided with expansion slots and hollow structures. The screw body is interference-fitted with the expansion sleeve. After insertion, the expansion sleeve expands as a whole and the tail section expands radially. The three-section anti-retraction structure improves the fixation effect.

Benefits of technology

The overall expansion and three-segment anti-retraction structure enhance the fixation effect of the pedicle screw, reduce the risk of screw retraction, and minimize the harm to the body from secondary surgery.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of spine surgery medical instrument technology, especially a pedicle screw with anti-retreating function. BACKGROUND

[0002] Screw fixation is a common surgical fixation system, and the fixation is poor for some osteoporosis patients, and there is a risk of screw retreatment, and if the operation fails, the ability of the original screw position to hold the screw is greatly reduced. A screw on the market can only expand at the inner end, and the entire body cannot be expanded and fixed. If only the end part is expanded and fixed, the fixed area is small, and the force is also small, which reduces the fixed effect. For example, the orthopedic intramedullary expansion nail with the announcement number CN204072295U can only expand and fix at the end part. Therefore, how to increase the fixed effect, effectively prevent retreatment, and eliminate the disadvantages of secondary revision surgery is a problem that needs to be solved by technical personnel in this field. SUMMARY

[0006] A plurality of expansion slots 11 extending along the axial direction are formed on the head section; the expansion slots 11 extend to the end face of the head section;

[0007] A plurality of hollow structures 12 distributed in the circumferential direction are formed on the tail section; the outer walls of the head section, the middle section and the tail section are all provided with anti-retreating structures.

[0008] Preferably, the hollow structure on the tail section is a hollow window.

[0009] Preferably, the adjacent hollow structures 12 are communicated through expansion grooves 13, and the expansion grooves 13 are formed on the inner wall of the tail section.

[0010] Preferably, the anti-retreating structure on the tail section is a wedge-shaped block 14, and the anti-retreating structures on the head section and the middle section are all anti-retreating grooves.

[0011] Preferably, the wedge-shaped block 14 is integrally formed with the tail section.

[0012] Preferably, the anti-retreating face of the anti-retreating groove is away from the tail section, and the anti-retreating face is perpendicular to the axis of the expansion sleeve 1.

[0013] Preferably, the expansion sleeve 1 is made of non-metallic material.

[0014] Preferably, the expansion sleeve 1 has a thickness of 0.5-1.5mm.

[0015] Preferably, the nail body 2 is made of titanium alloy material.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the advantages of:

[0017] 1, after the nail body 2 is inserted into the expansion sleeve 1, the expansion slit 11 is opened, and the tail part expands radially. Therefore, the expansion sleeve expands as a whole, and the tail part and the head part cooperate to increase the extrusion degree on the periphery, which can prevent the retreat and thus improve the fixing effect.

[0018] The reason why the tail part expands radially is that the nail body 2 is in interference fit with the expansion sleeve 1, and the thickness of the tail part of the expansion sleeve 1 is reduced due to the existence of the hollow structure, so that the tail part is shortened in the axial direction under the extrusion of the nail body 2 and thus expands radially.

[0019] 2, the three sections of the expansion sleeve 1 are all provided with anti-retreat structures, which further improve the fixing effect. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0024] The pedicle screw with anti-retreat function will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein the preferred embodiments of the utility model are shown, and it should be understood that the utility model described herein can be modified by those skilled in the art, and the advantageous effects of the utility model can still be achieved. Therefore, the following description should be understood as extensive knowledge for those skilled in the art, and not as a limitation on the utility model.

[0025] As Figures 1-4 , a pedicle screw with anti-retreat function comprises an expansion sleeve 1 and a nail body 2 inserted into the expansion sleeve 1.

[0026] The nail body 2 is in interference fit with the expansion sleeve 1. That is, the nail body 2 is cut and extruded into the expansion sleeve 1.

[0027] The expansion sleeve 1 is made of non-metallic material.

[0028] The non-metallic material includes PEEK (polyether ether ketone), PEEK+carbon fiber, PEEK+calcium silicate, PEEK+HA (hydroxyapatite), PEKK (polyether ketone ketone), PEKK+carbon fiber, PEKK+calcium silicate, non-absorbable biological material such as polyethylene, and absorbable biological material such as levorotatory lactic acid, meso-lactic acid, glycolic acid and trimethylene carbonate.

[0029] In the embodiment, the expansion sleeve 1 is made of composite material, polyether ether ketone PEEK+30% cf (30% carbon fiber). The thickness of the expansion sleeve 1 is between 0.5-1.5 mm.

[0030] The nail body 2 is made of titanium alloy material.

[0031] The expansion sleeve 1 includes a head section, a middle section and a tail section connected in sequence. The outer walls of the head section, the middle section and the tail section are all provided with anti-backout structures.

[0032] The head section is provided with a plurality of expansion slots 11 extending along the axial direction; the expansion slots 11 extend to the end face of the head section.

[0033] The anti-backout structure on the head section is a first anti-backout groove 15. The anti-backout surface 151 of the first anti-backout groove 15 is away from the tail section, and the anti-backout surface 151 is perpendicular to the axis of the expansion sleeve 1.

[0034] The tail section is provided with a plurality of hollow structures 12 distributed in the circumferential direction.

[0035] The hollow structure on the tail section is a rectangular hollow window. Each hollow structure extends along the axial direction.

[0036] The adjacent hollow structures 12 are communicated through expansion grooves 13 provided on the inner wall of the tail section.

[0037] The anti-backout structure on the tail section is a wedge-shaped block 14; the wedge-shaped block 14 is integrally formed with the tail section.

[0038] The anti-backout structure on the middle section is a second anti-backout groove 16, which has the same structure as the first anti-backout groove 15.

[0039] The working principle of the pedicle screw is as follows:

[0040] During the operation, a hole is first drilled on the vertebral body, the expansion sleeve 1 is screwed in, and then the nail body 2 is screwed in. The expansion sleeve 1 expands as a whole, increases the extrusion force on the surrounding, and thus improves the fixing effect.

[0041] Meanwhile, the three sections of the expansion sleeve 1 are all provided with anti-backout structures, which further improves the fixing effect.

[0042] If the operation fails, the nail body 2 needs to be taken out, the expansion sleeve 1 is reserved, the nail body 2 is taken out by special operation tool, and the second injury is not caused to the human body when the nail is placed again.

[0043] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application, and do not have any limiting effect on the present application. Any person skilled in the art, without departing from the technical scheme of the present application, makes any form of equivalent replacement or modification of the technical scheme and technical content disclosed by the present application, and the change belongs to the content of the technical scheme of the present application, and still belongs to the protection scope of the present application.
