摘要:
Spinal fusion implants are inserted into a disc space of disc material separating first and second vertebrae by forming bores between the vertebrae. A distraction spacer is temporarily put in place on one side of the vertebrae while a bore is being formed on an opposite of the vertebrae.

The present invention is directed to a variety of interbody spinal fusion implants having at least a partially frusto-conical configuration. An external thread is employed to increase implant stability and implant surface area, and for the purpose of advancing the spinal fusion implant into the fusion site. The spinal fusion implants of the present invention may be relatively solid or hollow and may have surface roughenings to promote bone ingrowth and stability. The spinal fusion implants of the present invention may have wells extending into the material of the implant from the surface for the purpose of holding fusion promoting materials and to provide for areas of bone ingrowth fixation.
摘要:
An implant includes a main body member having bio-compatibility, and particles formed ofbioactive material and dispersedly provided at the surface of an embedded section of the main body member. Each of the particles has a part embedded in the embedded portion and the other part protruding from the embedded portion. The main body member is formed of titanium or titanium alloy. The particles having osteo-conduction are formed of a material selected from among a group consisting of sintered substances of hydroxylapatite, null-tricalcium phosphate, null-tricalcium phosphate, tetra-calcium phosphate, a single substance of amorphous calcium phosphate, monetite, brushite, 45S4 glass, and a mixture of them. It is desirable that the embedded section surface has a surface roughness in a range of 5 to 50 nullm.
摘要:
An interbody device having upper and lower surfaces that are sized and shaped to be operably positioned between a pair of adjacent vertebrae for support and/or fusion. The upper and lower surfaces have a generally convex curvature. The upper and lower surfaces are joined by a pair of side surfaces that are arcuate and semi-circular, when viewed from the front, so as to be generally concave. The interbody devices are used in pairs between two vertebrae and joined by a bar that is received in a recess in each of the devices so as to resist rotation of the devices relative to the bar subsequent to installation.

Methods and instrumentation for spinal interbody fusion are disclosed. The instruments and methods are particularly adapted for interbody fusion in an unreamed disc space. One instrument is a distractor assembly including a first distractor and a second distractor configured to be inserted in side-by-side relation in the disc space. Fusion cages adapted for insertion into an unreamed disc space are provided to enhance load distribution between adjacent vertebral bodies and lateral stability of the spinal column. The fusion cages may be inserted after distracting the disc space with the distractor assembly. Instruments for preparing the disc space through the inserted fusion cages or for use with the distractor assembly are also provided.

A prosthetic cup member, in particular for use in the hip joint, has a hollow outer shell which is adapted to be affixed to the bone. The cup has an inner shell having a recess for accommodating a bearing element. The inner shell and the outer shell are spaced radially from each other at a predetermined distance to define an intermediate space therebetween. The outer surface of the outer shell has coaxial threads interrupted by grooves extending transversely to the thread. The threads are self-tapping threads and are formed to permit the threaded outer shell to be screwed into the bone. The outer shell has a plurality of elongated openings or slots connected to the intermediate space to permit loose spongious material such as cancellous bone, to be introduced into and held in the intermediate space during surgical emplacement of the cup member. This enhances the growth of new bone tissue into the intermediate space. The elongated openings extend over almost the entire axial length of the outer shell.

The endoprosthesis for a hip joint socket is provided with a plastic socket body, a metallic outer shell and a screw thread on the surface of the shell. The screw thread has a constant pitch with each turn of the screw thread having a length (L) of from 4 to 12 millimeters, a base width of from 0.15L to 0.2L and a crest width of from 0.025L to 0.05L.
摘要:
An osteo-implant is provided, having a fixing segment and an implant end. The fixing segment is provided with a thread and at least one bone healing chamber. The bone healing chamber is located at a thread root of the thread. The bone healing chamber is a chamber inwardly depressed from a surface of the fixing segment. The fixing segment has a central axis. In the same section of the fixing segment, an area of a section, which is parallel to and passes through the central axis, of the at least one bone healing chamber closer to the implant end is smaller.

The invention relates to a device (2) for fixing a cup (3) in a bone (21), said device comprising a tubular body (17) extending along a longitudinal axis (A) between a proximal end (18) for co-operating with the cup (3) or a coupling body (9), and a distal end (19) to be fixed in the bone (21), the tubular body (17) defining an inner peripheral surface (24) and an outer peripheral surface (25) provided with screw means. The screw means extend from the proximal end (18) to an intermediate region (27) of the outer peripheral surface (25) arranged at a distance from the proximal (18) and distal (19) ends, and the inner peripheral surface (24) defines a female assembly portion (28) extending from the proximal end (18) in order to co-operate with a male assembly portion of the cup (3) or the coupling body (9).
