Description

Die Erfindung richtet sich auf eine Versteifungsanordnung für ein mensch­ liches Kniegelenk.The invention is directed to a stiffening arrangement for a human knee joint.

Eine derartige Versteifungsanordnung ist indiziert, wenn im Bereich des Kniegelenks das Einsetzen einer Kniegelenkprothese nicht oder nicht mehr möglich ist, weil Muskeln und Bänder nicht mehr vorhanden sind, eine Prothese nicht mehr haltbar zu befestigen ist oder z. B. aufgrund einer Mi­ nenexplosion große Teile des Kniebereichs ganz fehlen.Such a stiffening arrangement is indicated if in the area of Knee joint the insertion of a knee joint prosthesis or no longer is possible because muscles and ligaments are no longer present, one Prosthesis is no longer durable or z. B. due to a Mi Large parts of the knee area are completely missing.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine solche Versteifungsanord­ nung so auszugestalten, daß sie einfach implantierbar ist und im implan­ tierten Zustand fest sitzt sowie eine zuverlässige, belastbare Verbindung herstellt.The invention has for its object such a stiffening arrangement design in such a way that it is easy to implant and implan tied condition and a reliable, resilient connection manufactures.

Fig. 7 bis 9 vergrößert herausgezeichnet das Ineinandergreifen der Verbin­ dungsteile in verschiedenen Winkelpositionen. Fig. 7 to 9 enlarged drawn out the mesh of the connec tion parts in different angular positions.

Eine in der Zeichnung dargestellte Versteifungsanordnung umfaßt zwei Verbindungsteile 1, 2, welche in gestrecktem, verbundenen Zustand einer­ seits über ebene Stirnflächen 3, 4 und andererseits über Kurvenabschnitte 5, 6 form- und preßschlüssig aneinander anliegen.A stiffening arrangement shown in the drawing comprises two connecting parts 1 , 2 which, in the stretched, connected state, rest on one another via flat end faces 3 , 4 and on the other hand via curve sections 5 , 6 in a form-fitting and press-fit manner.

Jedes Verbindungsteil 1, 2 weist eine Bohrung 7, 8 mit einem verbreiterten Abschnitt 9, 10 zur versenkten Aufnahme eines Schraubenkopfes bzw. zum Durchführen einer Schraube 11, 12 auf.Each connecting part 1 , 2 has a bore 7 , 8 with a widened section 9 , 10 for the recessed reception of a screw head or for the passage of a screw 11 , 12 .

Die Gewindeschrauben 11, 12 werden verwendet, um die Verbindungsteile 1, 2 an Schäften 13, 14 anzuschrauben, welche in Femur bzw. Tibia einge­ trieben werden. Die Schäfte 13, 14 weisen konische, sich verjüngende An­ sätze 15, 16 auf, die in korrespondierende Ausnehmungen 17, 18 in den Verbindungsteilen 1 bzw. 2 eingreifen, wobei in den Ansätzen 15, 16 Ge­ windebohrungen 19, 20 ausgebildet sind, in die die Schrauben 11, 12 ein­ gedreht werden.The threaded screws 11 , 12 are used to screw the connecting parts 1 , 2 to shafts 13 , 14 , which are driven into the femur or tibia. The shafts 13 , 14 have conical, tapering sets 15 , 16 which engage in corresponding recesses 17 , 18 in the connecting parts 1 and 2 , wherein in the approaches 15 , 16 Ge threaded holes 19 , 20 are formed, in the the screws 11 , 12 are turned.

Operativ werden also zunächst die Schäfte 13, 14 in Tibia bzw. Femur ein­ getrieben, und wenn die Schäfte 13, 14 positioniert sind, wird an sie je ein Verbindungsteil 1 bzw. 2 angeschraubt. In dieser Phase sind die Verbin­ dungsteile 1, 2 noch entfernt voneinander und können relativ zueinander abgewinkelt sein.Operatively, the shafts 13 , 14 are first driven into the tibia or femur, and when the shafts 13 , 14 are positioned, a connecting part 1 or 2 is screwed onto them. In this phase, the connec tion parts 1 , 2 are still distant from each other and can be angled relative to each other.

Die nachfolgend beschriebenen Kurvenabschnitte der Verbindungsteile 1, 2 sind besonders gut in Fig. 7 und 9 erkennbar.The curve sections of the connecting parts 1 , 2 described below can be seen particularly well in FIGS. 7 and 9.

Der Kurvenabschnitt 5 ist konkav ausgebildet, wobei seine Begrenzungsli­ nien 21, 22 kreisabschnittförmig, konzentrisch zu einem Mittelpunkt 23 verlaufen und über einen abschließenden Bogenabschnitt 24 miteinander verbunden sind. The curve section 5 is concave, its limitation lines 21 , 22 extending in the form of a circular section, concentric with a center point 23 and being connected to one another via a final curved section 24 .

Die Begrenzungslinien 25, 26 des konvexen Kurvenabschnitts 6 sind eben­ falls konzentrisch zu dem Mittelpunkt 23 verlaufende Kreisbogenabschnit­ te, welche über einen zum Bogenabschnitt 24 korrespondierenden Bogen­ abschnitt 27 verbunden sind.The boundary lines 25, 26 of the convex curve portion 6 are flat, if th concentric to the center point 23 extending Kreisbogenabschnit which portion a corresponding to the arc portion 24 are connected to arc 27th

Aufgrund dieser Konfiguration ist es möglich, wie im Zusammenhang mit Fig. 4 bis 6 einerseits und Fig. 7 bis 9 andererseits veranschaulicht, die Verbindungsteile 1, 2 über eine Schwenkbewegung um den Schwenkmit­ telpunkt 23 miteinander formschlüssig in Eingriff zu bringen, wobei der Formschluß bei einem Winkel von 35° beginnt. In Fig. 1 ist die Position dargestellt, wo die Schäfte 13, 14 von Tibia und Femur parallel zueinander ausgerichtet und die Verbindungsteile 1, 2 form- und preßschlüssig mitein­ ander verbunden sind.Due to this configuration, it is possible, as illustrated in connection with FIGS. 4 to 6 on the one hand and FIGS. 7 to 9 on the other hand, to bring the connecting parts 1 , 2 into positive engagement with one another by means of a pivoting movement around the pivoting center point 23 , the positive locking being begins at an angle of 35 °. In Fig. 1 the position is shown where the shafts 13 , 14 of the tibia and femur aligned parallel to each other and the connecting parts 1 , 2 are positively and press-fitly connected to each other.

Zur Herstellung einer endgültigen, belastbaren und zuverlässigen Fixierung in dieser Position sind in den Verbindungsteilen 1, 2 miteinander fluchten­ de Bohrungen 28, 29 eingebracht.To produce a final, resilient and reliable fixation in this position, aligned bores 28 , 29 are made in the connecting parts 1 , 2 .

Die Bohrungen 29 weisen einen verbreiterten Abschnitt 30 zur Aufnahme eines Schraubenkopfes 31 auf. Die Bohrungen 28 sind mit einem Gewinde­ abschnitt 32 versehen, in welchen Gewindeabschnitte 33 von Verbindungs­ schrauben 34 eindrehbar ist. Die Verbindungsschrauben 34 verlaufen im eingedrehten Zustand in einem Winkel von etwa 45° zur Längsachse der Schäfte 13, 14.The bores 29 have a widened section 30 for receiving a screw head 31 . The bores 28 are provided with a threaded section 32 , in which threaded sections 33 of connecting screws 34 can be screwed. When screwed in, the connecting screws 34 extend at an angle of approximately 45 ° to the longitudinal axis of the shafts 13 , 14 .
