Description

[0001] Description

[0002] Title of the invention: Equipment for bone surgery, comprising an osteosynthesis plate and at least one drilling barrel

[0003] Technical field of the invention

[0004] The present invention relates to the technical field of equipment for bone surgery, in particular adapted to an osteotomy technique generating two bone fragments separated by a cutting line, for example a femoral derotation osteotomy.

[0005] State of the art

[0006] Some bone surgery equipment is particularly suited to an osteotomy technique aimed at consolidating two bone fragments separated by a cut line, for example a femoral derotation osteotomy.

[0007] For this, the material includes:

[0008] - an osteosynthesis plate comprising a combination of through holes which are intended to accommodate fixing screws intended to be implanted in the two bone fragments,

[0009] - the fixing screws, and

[0010] - at least one drilling bushing, intended to guide the drilling determining the orientation of the fixing screws through the through holes.

[0011] It may be worthwhile to tilt the axis of at least some of the fixing screws appropriately.

[0012] For this, certain osteosynthesis plates include:

[0013] - through holes adapted to fixing screws of the said “mono-axial”, with a predefined orientation, and / or

[0014] - through holes adapted to so-called “poly-axial” fixing screws, i.e. the angle of implantation in the bone can be adjusted according to a predetermined admissible inclination range.

[0015] Polyaxial systems offer the surgeon a choice of screw placement. The surgeon can choose the angle of the fixation screws that he or she considers most optimal.

[0016] However, during their implantation, some of these fixation screws are likely to come into conflict within the bone material (conflict crossing). There is therefore a need for a technical solution that would allow optimal positioning from a biomechanical point of view, without the risk of conflict between the fixation screws within the bone material.

[0017] Presentation of the invention

[0018] In order to overcome the aforementioned drawback of the state of the art, the present invention provides equipment for bone surgery, in particular adapted to an osteotomy technique generating two bone fragments separated by a cutting line, for example a femoral derotation osteotomy.

[0019] This material includes:

[0020] - an osteosynthesis plate comprising a combination of through holes each having a longitudinal axis:

[0021] -- a first group of through holes, provided in a first section of the osteosynthesis plate and intended to accommodate fixing screws intended to be implanted in at least a first bone fragment,

[0022] -- a second group of through holes, provided in a second section of the osteosynthesis plate and intended to accommodate fixing screws intended to be implanted in at least one second bone fragment,

[0023] - said fixing screws, intended to be inserted through said through holes of said osteosynthesis plate and to be implanted in the bone fragments, and

[0024] - at least one drilling barrel, one free end of which has a contact surface intended to cooperate by fitting with a complementary contact surface provided at the level of said through holes.

[0025] The contact surface of at least one of said through-holes, called a monoplanar through-hole, and the contact surface of said at least one drilling barrel are configured to define a pivot connection (also called an “articulation”) between said drilling barrel and said monoplanar through-hole.

[0026] The pivot connection is defined by an axis of rotation which is oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said at least one monoplanar through-hole, with rotational play extending over an angular sector on either side of the longitudinal axis of said at least one monoplanar through-hole.

[0027] In other words, the contact surface of at least one of said through-holes, called monoplanar through-hole, and the contact surface of said at least one drilling barrel are configured to define a degree of freedom in rotation between said drilling barrel and said monoplanar through-hole.

[0028] Said degree of freedom in rotation is defined by an axis of rotation which is oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said at least one monoplanar through-orifice, with a rotational clearance extending over an angular sector on either side of the longitudinal axis of said at least one monoplanar through-orifice.

[0029] In other words, the contact surface of at least one of said through-holes, called a monoplanar through-hole, and the contact surface of said at least one drilling barrel are configured to define a single axis of rotation which is oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said at least one monoplanar through-hole, to guide the rotation between said drilling barrel and said monoplanar through-hole, with a rotational clearance extending over an angular sector on either side of the longitudinal axis of said at least one monoplanar through-hole.

[0030] Still in other words, said contact surface of at least one of said through-holes, called monoplanar through-hole, and the contact surface of said at least one drilling barrel are configured to define a degree of connection (also called degree of articulation) between said drilling barrel and said monoplanar through-hole, this degree of connection being oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said at least one monoplanar through-hole and perpendicular to the aforementioned axis of rotation.

[0031] This material according to the invention is thus interesting in that it allows the installation of a fixing screw while offering a compromise between, on the one hand, a possibility of play in angulation relative to the longitudinal axis of said at least one monoplanar through orifice and, on the other hand, prevention of any risk of conflict with the other fixing screws attached to the osteosynthesis plate.

[0032] This technical solution is also interesting for ensuring an optimal position of the fixing screw on a biomechanical level.

[0033] Other non-limiting and advantageous characteristics of the product according to the invention, taken individually or in all technically possible combinations, are the following: - the contact surface of said at least one monoplanar through-orifice and the contact surface of at least one drilling barrel are configured to allow rotation of said at least one drilling barrel around its longitudinal axis;

[0034] - the contact surface of said at least one monoplanar through-orifice and the contact surface of said at least one drilling barrel comprise: first complementary portions, defining a ball joint, and second complementary portions, removing a degree of freedom in rotation perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said at least one monoplanar through-orifice;

[0035] - the contact surface of said at least one monoplanar through-orifice comprises: a first portion in the form of a spherical cap or a truncated cone, and a second portion having an oblong section, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, defined by two side walls, parallel to a major axis and perpendicular to said axis of rotation, and two divergent end walls; preferably, the osteosynthesis plate comprises an upper face and a lower face, and said first portion is provided on the side of said upper face and said second portion is provided on the side of said lower face; more preferably, on the side of the upper face, said first portion is extended by a third portion having an oblong section perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, defined by two side walls, parallel to a major axis and perpendicular to said axis of rotation, and two divergent end walls;

[0036] - the contact surface of said at least one drilling barrel comprises a first portion in the form of a spherical cap, and a second portion of cylindrical shape, said second portion preferably being provided at one end of said drilling barrel;

[0037] - the angular sector, on each side of the longitudinal axis, is at least 5°, preferably 5° to 15°;

[0038] - said at least one monoplanar through-orifice is provided in said first section;

[0039] - said fixing screw consists of a polyaxial fixing screw comprising a head provided with a spherical portion capable of cooperating with the contact surface of said at least one monoplanar through-hole, where appropriate with the first portion of the contact surface of said at least one monoplanar through-hole. In general, a bone surgery method, by implementing equipment according to the invention, comprises the following successive steps:

[0040] - positioning of said osteosynthesis plate against said two bone fragments,

[0041] - the implantation of at least one fixation screw in a first bone fragment through the first group of through holes and of at least one fixation screw in a second bone fragment through the second group of through holes,

[0042] - drilling at least one bone fragment, possibly through the cutting line, guided by a drilling gun positioned on said at least one monoplanar through-hole,

[0043] - the implantation of said at least one fixing screw through said at least one monoplanar through-hole, preferably oriented to be implanted in said bone fragments and to pass through said cutting line.

[0044] Of course, the various features, variants and embodiments of the invention may be combined with each other in various combinations to the extent that they are not incompatible or mutually exclusive.

[0054] It should be noted that, in these figures, the structural and / or functional elements common to the different variants may have the same references.

[0055] The present invention thus relates to equipment 1 for bone surgery (figures 1 to 5).

[0056] As described below in relation to figures 6 and following, this material 1 is in particular adapted to an osteotomy technique intended to consolidate at least two bone fragments S1, S2 separated by a cutting line T, for example during a femoral derotation osteotomy.

[0057] For this purpose, generally speaking, material 1 includes:

[0058] - an osteosynthesis plate 2 comprising a combination of through holes 3,

[0059] - fixing screws 5, and

[0060] - at least one drill guide 6 (also called a “drill guide” in English).

[0061] Osteosynthesis plate

[0062] The osteosynthesis plate 2 comprises a combination of through holes 3 (also called “plots”).

[0063] Generally speaking, the osteosynthesis plate 2 advantageously has two opposite faces:

[0064] - a lower face 21, intended to come to bear on the bone fragments S1, S2, and

[0065] - an upper face 22, opposite. Each through orifice 3 advantageously has a longitudinal axis 3', passing between the lower face 21 and the upper face 22.

[0066] The through holes 3 are divided into at least two groups:

[0067] - a first group of through holes 3a, provided in a first section 2a of the osteosynthesis plate 2 and intended to accommodate fixing screws 5 intended to be implanted in at least one first bone fragment S1,

[0068] - a second group of through holes 3b, provided in a second section 2b of the osteosynthesis plate 2 and intended to accommodate fixing screws 5 intended to be implanted in at least one second bone fragment S2.

[0069] Sections 2a, 2b are each intended to cooperate with at least one of the bone fragments S1, S2.

[0070] Generally, the through holes 3 comprise a contact surface 311 intended to cooperate with a complementary contact surface 611 of said at least one drilling barrel 6.

[0071] The contact surface 311 of the through holes 3 is advantageously located on the side of the upper face 22 of the osteosynthesis plate 2.

[0072] According to the invention and as developed subsequently, at least one of the through holes 3c is intended to cooperate with the drilling barrel 6 with a possibility of angular play which is limited / guided in an orientation plane P.

[0073] Generally speaking and for the sake of understanding, this 3c through-hole is also referred to as a “3c monoplanar through-hole”.

[0074] Fixing screws

[0075] The fixing screws 5 are intended to be inserted through the through holes 3 of the osteosynthesis plate 2 and to be implanted in the bone fragments S1, S2.

[0076] These fixing screws 5, and in particular the fixing screw 5 intended to be fitted through the monoplanar through-hole 3c, advantageously consist of polyaxial fixing screws.

[0077] As illustrated in Figure 5, such a polyaxial fixing screw 5 comprises in particular:

[0078] - a head 51, provided with a spherical portion 511, intended to cooperate with the through orifice 3 of the osteosynthesis plate 2, and - a body 52, threaded, intended to be implanted in at least one bone fragment S1, S2 and intended to extend on the side of the lower face 21 of the osteosynthesis plate 2.

[0079] Drilling barrel

[0080] A drill guide 6 (or “drill guide”) is advantageously intended to guide the drilling equipment (surgical motor and drill) to generate the pilot holes which are intended for the implantation of the fixing screws 5.

[0081] This drilling barrel 6 can also serve as a guide for the fixing screws 5 when they are put in place.

[0082] The drilling barrel 6 comprises in particular a free end 61 which comprises a contact surface 611 (preferably male) intended to cooperate by fitting with a complementary contact surface 311 (preferably female), formed at the level of the through orifices 3.

[0083] This drilling barrel 6 also advantageously comprises a longitudinal axis 6'.

[0084] Contact surfaces

[0085] According to the invention, the contact surface 311 of the monoplanar through-hole 3c and the contact surface 611 of said at least one drilling barrel 6 are configured to define a pivot connection between the drilling barrel 6 and the monoplanar through-hole 3c.

[0086] This cooperation allows a choice of drilling orientation, with oscillating guidance of the drilling gun 6 on either side of the longitudinal axis 3' of said at least one monoplanar through-orifice 3c, according to an orientation plane P.

[0087] Generally speaking and as illustrated schematically in Figures 3 and 4, the pivot connection is defined by an axis of rotation R which is oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 3' of said at least one monoplanar through-orifice 3c.

[0088] This pivot connection then defines a rotational clearance extending over an angular sector G on either side of the longitudinal axis 3' of said at least one monoplanar through-orifice 3c.

[0089] The drilling gun 6, cooperating with the monoplanar through-hole 3c, is thus guided in rotation (or in oscillation) in an orientation plane P passing through the longitudinal axis 3' of said at least one monoplanar through-hole 3c (illustrated in particular in figures 3, 4 and 8). The longitudinal axis 6' of the drilling gun 6 then extends in the orientation plane P throughout its authorized stroke.

[0090] Preferably, the angular sector G (or the angular travel), on each side of the longitudinal axis 3' of said at least one monoplanar through-orifice 3c (or on either side of the longitudinal axis 3'), is at least 5°, preferably from 5° to 15°.

[0091] Generally, the contact surface 311 of said at least one monoplanar through-orifice 3c and the contact surface 611 of at least one drilling barrel 6 may also be configured to allow rotation of said at least one drilling barrel 6 around its longitudinal axis 6'.

[0092] Generally speaking and according to a preferred embodiment, the contact surface 311 of said at least one monoplanar through-orifice 3c and the contact surface 611 of said at least one drilling barrel 6 comprise two complementary portions:

[0093] - first portions 3111, 6111, complementary, defining a ball joint, and

[0094] - second portions 3112, 6112, complementary, removing a degree of freedom in rotation perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 3' of said at least one monoplanar through orifice 3c.

[0095] In other words, the first portions 3111, 6111 center the drilling barrel 6 relative to the monoplanar through-orifice 3c (advantageously at the level of its longitudinal axis 3').

[0096] And the second portions 3112, 6112 guide the trajectory of the drilling gun 6, with:

[0097] - an amplitude of rotation in the orientation plane P, and

[0098] - a zero rotation amplitude, or at least less than 1°, in a plane normal to this plane of orientation P.

[0099] For this, preferably, the contact surface 311 of said at least one monoplanar through-orifice 3c comprises:

[0100] - a first portion 3111 (advantageously concave or female) in the form of a spherical cap or a truncated cone, and a second portion 3112 having an oblong section (perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 3' and of which a major axis 3112' extends in the orientation plane P). The second portion 3112 is defined by a belt of walls:

[0101] - two side walls 3112a, parallel to a major axis 3112' and to the orientation plane P (axis AA on part A in figure 2) and perpendicular to the rotation axis R (part C of figure 2), and

[0102] - two diverging end walls 3112b, diverging from each other towards the lower face 21 (part B of figure 2).

[0103] The orientation of the major axis 3112' of the second portion 3112 defines the aforementioned orientation plane P.

[0104] Preferably again, in the thickness of the osteosynthesis plate 2:

[0105] - the first portion 3111 is provided on the side of the upper face 22, and

[0106] - the second portion 3112 is provided on the side of the lower face 21.

[0107] Still preferably, the second portion 3112 is provided between the first portion 3111 and the lower face 21.

[0108] Again in general, the first portion 3111 is advantageously extended by a third portion 3113 having an oblong section perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 3'.

[0109] Here again, this third portion 3113 is defined by a belt of walls:

[0110] - two side walls 3113a, parallel to a major axis 3113' (axis AA on part A.) and perpendicular to the axis of rotation R, and

[0111] - two diverging end walls 3113b, diverging from each other towards the upper face 22 (part B. of figure 2).

[0112] This third portion 3113 extends here between the first portion 3111 and the upper face 22.

[0113] Furthermore, in general and as illustrated in Figures 3 and 4, the contact surface 611 of said at least one drilling barrel 6 comprises:

[0114] - a first portion 6111 (here convex or male) in the shape of a spherical cap, and

[0115] - a second portion 6112 of cylindrical shape,

[0116] - and preferably a cylindrical body 6113.

[0117] The second portion 6112 is preferably provided at the free end 61 of the drilling barrel 6.

[0118] Preferably, the first portion 6111 of the contact surface 611 of said at least one drilling barrel 6 is intended to match the first portion 3111 of the contact surface 311 of said at least one monoplanar through-orifice 3c, to together define the ball joint.

[0119] And the second portion 6112 of the contact surface 611 of said at least one drilling barrel 6 has a diameter which corresponds, apart from the clearance, to the distance separating the two side walls 3112a of the second portion 3112 of the contact surface 311 of said at least one monoplanar through-orifice 3c.

[0120] This particular dimension ensures guidance in oscillation around the axis of rotation R which extends:

[0121] - perpendicular to the major axis 3112' of this second portion 3112, and

[0122] - perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 3' of the monoplanar through hole 3c.

[0123] Furthermore, the cylindrical body 6113 of said at least one drilling barrel 6 advantageously has a diameter which corresponds, apart from the clearance, to the distance separating the two side walls 3113a of the third portion 3113 of the contact surface 311 of said at least one monoplanar through-orifice 3c.

[0124] This particular dimension contributes to the oscillation guidance of the drilling gun 6 around the rotation axis R.

[0125] Generally, said at least one monoplanar through orifice 3c is advantageously provided in the aforementioned first section 2a of the osteosynthesis plate 2.

[0126] This monoplanar through hole 3c is then oriented so that the orientation plane P is free from conflict with respect to the fixing screws 3 intended to be implanted in the other through holes 3 of the osteosynthesis plate 2 (figure 8 in particular).

[0127] Still generally, the spherical portion 511 at the level of the head 51 of the polyaxial fixing screw 5 (intended to be fitted through the monoplanar through-hole 3c) is capable of cooperating with the contact surface 311 of said at least one monoplanar through-hole 3c, where appropriate with the first portion 3111 of the contact surface 311 of said at least one monoplanar through-hole 3c.

[0128] A section of the body 52, on the side of the head 51, is intended to cooperate with the second portion 3112 of the contact surface 311 of said at least one monoplanar through-orifice 3c. Bone surgery method

[0129] A bone surgery procedure, using material 1, is illustrated in figures 6 to 8.

[0130] The method includes positioning the osteosynthesis plate 2 against the two bone fragments S1, S2.

[0131] These bone fragments S1, S2 are possibly separated by a cutting line T.

[0132] This cutting line T, with the bone fragments S1, S2 which result from it, is for example used in the context of a femoral derotation osteotomy.

[0133] In this case, the incision is advantageously made along the longitude axis of the distal femur on the medial or lateral part of the thigh. The osteotomy is performed: the distal femur is subjected to external or internal rotation, in accordance with the pre-planning in order to adjust the rotational alignments of the patellofemoral joint.

[0134] Generally, the process is continued by positioning the osteosynthesis plate 2 against the bone fragments S1, S2.

[0135] The osteosynthesis plate 2 is arranged so that:

[0136] - the first section 2a of the osteosynthesis plate 2 rests on a first bone fragment S1, and

[0137] - the second section 2b of the osteosynthesis plate 2 rests on a second bone fragment S2.

[0138] The implantation of at least some of the fixing screws 5 is then implemented:

[0139] - at least one fixing screw 5 is implanted in a first bone fragment

[0140] 51, through the first group of through-holes 3a, and

[0141] - at least one fixing screw 5 is implanted in a second bone fragment

[0142] 52, through the second group of through holes 3b.

[0143] The method then comprises a step of drilling at least one bone fragment S1, S2, guided by a drilling gun 6 positioned on said at least one monoplanar through-orifice 3c, possibly through the cutting line T.

[0144] In this case, the orientation of the drilling barrel 6 can be adjusted in an angular sector G, according to an orientation plane P, without risk of conflict with the other fixing screws 3 attached to the osteosynthesis plate 2 while seeking an optimal position of the fixing screw 3 on the biomechanical level.

[0145] In the context of a femoral derotation osteotomy, the drill barrel 6 is adjusted so that the drill passes through the two bone fragments S1, S2, through the cutting line T.

[0146] This method also comprises an implantation of at least one fixing screw 5 through said at least one monoplanar through-hole 3c.

[0147] For example, this fixing screw 5 is oriented to be implanted in the two bone fragments S1, S2 and to cross the cutting line T, according to the orientation defined by the drilling barrel 6.

[0148] Other fixing screws 5 may also be added (possibly polyaxial fixing screws 5), without risk of interaction with the fixing screw 5 which passes through said at least one monoplanar through-hole 3c.

[0149] Of course, various other modifications may be made to the invention within the scope of the appended claims.
