    摘要: Methods and devices for augmenting bone, such as in performing vertebroplasty are disclosed. A bone implant with enhanced interfacial shear strength can include a container, such as a mesh bag, with a sidewall and an interior chamber portion. The sidewall can include an open-celled matrix and can be filled with a first media to promote bone ingrowth and enhanced interfacial shear strength. The interior chamber can be filled with a second media to prevent crack propagation. Delivery catheters with releasable coupling features to the implant are also disclosed.

    摘要: Disclosed herein is a steerable and curvable drill that can be used for various applications including vertebroplasty. The drill can include an elongate, tubular body, having a proximal end, a distal end, and a central lumen extending therethrough; a deflectable zone on the distal end of the tubular body including one or more laser cuts, deflectable through an angular range; an insertable wire insertable into at least a portion of the central lumen of the elongate, tubular body; a handle on the proximal end of the tubular body; a deflection control on the handle; a drill control on the handle; a drive shaft within the elongate tubular body having a proximal end and a distal end; and a boring element on the distal end of the device for creating a cavity within bone. The boring element can be operably connected to the distal end of the drive shaft via a crimping mechanism. Systems and methods involving the drill are also disclosed.

    摘要: One embodiment of the invention comprises a differential composite in which bone cement everywhere or substantially everywhere contains at least some non-zero volume fraction of particles, and in which the local volume fraction of particles may vary from place to place in the composite in a controlled manner. The variation may be by identifiable region or may be in the form of a gradient of the local volume fraction of particles. In at least some places, the local volume fraction of particles may be such that the particles act as crack arrestors. Close to the interface with natural bone, the local volume fraction of particles may be greater. In at least some places adjoining natural bone, the local volume fraction of particles may be such as to allow bone ingrowth into appropriate region(s) of the composite, resulting in improved interfacial shear strength. Methods and apparatuses for producing and delivering the composite are also disclosed, which may include use of an introducer and an expandable basket-type device.
