Abstract

The implant (1) has a body (2) with a porous structure, and inserts (3) made of a metallic material e.g. stainless steel, resistive to a friction occurred against articular bone surfaces. The inserts are fixed to the body such that the inserts are arranged opposite to the bone surfaces when the implant is inserted in a space liberated by ablation of a trapezium bone. The inserts cooperate with a metacarpal (101) and a scaphoid, and have a convex articular surface (6) and a concave articular surface, respectively. An independent claim is also included for a method for fabricating an implant.

Description

1 La présente invention concerne un implant de remplacement total ouThe present invention relates to a total replacement implant or

partiel d'un os cuboïforme qui permet un mouvement articulé d'un os par rapport à un autre. Cet implant est notamment destiné au remplacement de l'os du trapèze.  partial of a cuboid bone that allows articulated movement of one bone relative to another. This implant is intended in particular for the replacement of the trapezius bone.

La demande de brevet français N 2 801 194 décrit un implant de remplacement total ou partiel d'un os cuboïforme, en particulier du trapèze, comprenant un noyau en matériau rigide non résorbable, et une enveloppe en un matériau fibreux non résorbable, à structure poreuse. Cet implant présente une forme de révolution, à paroi latérale arrondie et convexe et à extrémités longitudinales tronquées, lui conférant la forme d'un "petit tonneau". Par sa courbure dans deux plans perpendiculaires, cet implant permet de parfaitement restituer le mouvement anatomique du pouce et, grâce à son de enveloppe poreuse, peut être parfaitement intégré aux tissus environnants par croissance des cellules dans les pores de ladite enveloppe.  French Patent Application No. 2,801,194 discloses a total or partial replacement implant for a cuboidal bone, in particular trapezium, comprising a core of nonabsorbable rigid material, and an envelope made of a non-resorbable fibrous material with a porous structure. . This implant has a form of revolution, rounded side wall and convex and truncated longitudinal ends, giving it the shape of a "small barrel". By its curvature in two perpendicular planes, this implant makes it possible to perfectly restore the anatomical movement of the thumb and, thanks to its porous envelope, can be perfectly integrated with the surrounding tissues by growth of the cells in the pores of said envelope.

L'implant selon ce document antérieur, bien que donnant globalement satisfaction, a cependant pour inconvénient important de subir une usure au niveau de ses zones coopérant avec les surfaces articulaires des os concernés. En effet, ces surfaces articulaires sont généralement réséquées et présentent par conséquent des arêtes relativement agressives, qui usent et/ou entaillent l'enveloppe de l'implant. Outre un fonctionnement défectueux de l'articulation, il en résulte une diffusion dans les tissus environnants de particules du matériau formant ladite enveloppe, laquelle génère une inflammation de ces tissus et donc des douleurs articulaires. La présente invention vise à remédier à cet inconvénient essentiel. À cet effet, l'implant qu'elle concerne comprend : - un corps, et - deux inserts en matériau résistant à une friction répétée contre des surfaces osseuses articulaires, notamment en un matériau métallique, les deux inserts étant fixés au corps de manière à se trouver en regard desdites surfaces osseuses articulaires lorsque l'implant est mis en place. Les surfaces osseuses articulaires portent donc contre ces inserts lors des mouvements articulaires, qui résistent parfaitement, compte tenu de leur matériau constitutif, aux frottements et pressions que ces surfaces exercent sur eux. Le problème précité d'usure de l'implant et de diffusion de particules dans les tissus environnants est ainsi éliminé. 2 De plus, la forme des inserts est indépendante de celle du corps et peut être adaptée à celle des surfaces articulaires. Notamment, lorsque l'implant selon l'invention est destiné au remplacement total d'un trapèze, l'insert destiné à coopérer avec le premier métacarpien peut présenter une surface articulaire convexe et l'insert destiné à coopérer avec le scaphoïde peut présenter une surface articulaire concave. Le corps présente avantageusement une structure poreuse afin de permettre le maintien en position de l'implant par croissance de cellules dans les pores de ce corps. L'implant peut également comprendre au moins un fil de suture relié à lui, permettant sa fixation aux tissus environnants son site d'implantation. Le corps présente en outre avantageusement une structure légèrement déformable, permettant sa courbure et/ou sa compression axiale. Cette légère déformabilité permet une adaptation de l'implant aux contraintes transmises par les os entre lesquels cet implant est mis en place. L'implant peut comprendre des moyens de guidage permettant une mobilité guidée d'un insert par rapport à l'autre. Selon une forme de réalisation préférée dans ce cas, chacun des inserts comprend un bossage formant une surface d'articulation, l'une des surfaces d'articulation étant concave, notamment partiellement hémisphérique, et l'autre surface étant convexe, ces surfaces d'articulation venant, lorsque l'implant est constitué, au contact l'une de l'autre. Une articulation multidirectionnelle d'un insert par rapport à l'autre est ainsi obtenue. Le corps de l'implant peut notamment être constitué par une bande de matériau poreux enroulée en spirale de manière à former un cylindre, les inserts étant mis en place au niveau des deux extrémités axiales de ce cylindre. Ce matériau poreux est de préférence du polyester, notamment du polyester téréphtalate. Selon une forme de réalisation possible de l'invention, - le corps de l'implant peut notamment être constitué par une bande de matériau poreux enroulée en spirale de manière à former un cylindre comprenant une cavité axiale ; - chaque insert comprend un bossage percé d'un trou transversal, destiné à être engagé dans cette cavité axiale, et 3 - chaque insert est fixé au corps au moyen de sutures traversant au moins une fois une zone de la paroi du corps, ledit trou transversal et une zone opposée de la paroi du corps. Pour la réalisation de l'insert ci-dessus, le procédé selon invention 5 comprend les étapes consistant à : - enrouler partiellement la bande de matériau poreux de manière à former un cylindre de base ; - engager les bossages des deux inserts dans les extrémités de la cavité axiale que forme ce cylindre de base ; 10 - réaliser au moins une suture traversant au moins une fois une zone de la paroi du cylindre de base, le trou transversal du bossage d'un premier insert, et une zone opposée de la paroi du cylindre de base, puis traversant une zone de la paroi du cylindre de base, le trou transversal du bossage du deuxième insert, et une zone opposée de la paroi du cylindre de base ; 15 - enrouler le reste de la bande de matériau poreux autour du cylindre de base, recouvrant ainsi lesdites sutures, jusqu'à constituer intégralement le corps de l'implant. Lesdites sutures sont ainsi parfaitement protégées à l'égard des frottements que peuvent exercer les os ou tissus environnants sur l'implant 20 lors des mouvements articulaires. L'invention sera bien comprise, et d'autres caractéristiques et avantages de celle-ci apparaîtront, en référence au dessin schématique annexé, représentant, à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, deux formes de réalisation possibles de l'implant qu'elle concerne, destiné au remplacement de l'os du 25 trapèze. La figure 1 est une vue en perspective de trois éléments qu'il comprend, selon une première forme de réalisation ; la figure 2 en est une vue en coupe, après assemblage ; les figures 3 à 8 en sont des vues en coupe au cours de six étapes 30 successives de sa fabrication ; la figure 9 en est une vue après implantation ; la figure 10 en est une vue similaire à la figure 9, à échelle agrandie ; la figure 11 est une vue en perspective des trois éléments de l'implant, selon la deuxième forme de réalisation ; les figures 12 et 13 sont des vues de l'implant de côté, selon respectivement une forme non déformée et une forme déformée, et les figures 14 et 15 sont des vues respectivement similaires aux figures 12 et 13, en coupe transversale de l'implant.  The implant according to this prior document, although giving overall satisfaction, however, has the important disadvantage of suffering wear in its areas cooperating with the joint surfaces of the bones concerned. Indeed, these articular surfaces are generally resected and therefore have relatively aggressive edges, which wear and / or notch the envelope of the implant. In addition to a defective operation of the joint, it results in a diffusion in the surrounding tissues of particles of the material forming said envelope, which generates an inflammation of these tissues and therefore joint pain. The present invention aims to remedy this essential disadvantage. For this purpose, the implant it concerns comprises: - a body, and - two inserts made of a material that is resistant to repeated friction against articular bone surfaces, in particular made of a metallic material, the two inserts being fixed to the body so as to lie opposite said articular bone surfaces when the implant is in place. The articular bone surfaces therefore bear against these inserts during articular movements, which resist perfectly, given their constituent material, the friction and pressure that these surfaces exert on them. The aforementioned problem of implant wear and scattering of particles in the surrounding tissues is thus eliminated. In addition, the shape of the inserts is independent of that of the body and can be adapted to that of the articular surfaces. In particular, when the implant according to the invention is intended for the total replacement of a trapezium, the insert intended to cooperate with the first metacarpal may have a convex articular surface and the insert intended to cooperate with the scaphoid may have a surface concave joint. The body advantageously has a porous structure in order to allow the implant to be held in position by growth of cells in the pores of this body. The implant may also include at least one suture connected to it, allowing its attachment to the surrounding tissue implantation site. The body also advantageously has a slightly deformable structure, allowing its curvature and / or its axial compression. This slight deformability allows an adaptation of the implant to the stresses transmitted by the bones between which this implant is put in place. The implant may comprise guide means allowing guided mobility of one insert relative to the other. According to a preferred embodiment in this case, each of the inserts comprises a boss forming a hinge surface, one of the articulation surfaces being concave, in particular partially hemispherical, and the other surface being convex, these surfaces of articulation coming, when the implant is formed, in contact with one another. A multidirectional articulation of one insert relative to the other is thus obtained. The body of the implant may in particular be constituted by a strip of porous material wound in a spiral so as to form a cylinder, the inserts being placed at the two axial ends of this cylinder. This porous material is preferably polyester, especially polyester terephthalate. According to one possible embodiment of the invention, the body of the implant may in particular be constituted by a band of porous material wound in a spiral so as to form a cylinder comprising an axial cavity; each insert comprises a boss pierced with a transverse hole intended to be engaged in this axial cavity, and each insert is fixed to the body by means of sutures passing through at least once an area of the wall of the body, said hole transverse and an opposite zone of the body wall. For carrying out the above insert, the method according to the invention comprises the steps of: - partially winding the porous material web to form a base cylinder; engaging the bosses of the two inserts in the ends of the axial cavity formed by this base cylinder; Making at least one suture traversing at least once a zone of the wall of the base cylinder, the transverse hole of the boss of a first insert, and an opposite zone of the wall of the base cylinder, then passing through a zone of the wall of the base cylinder, the transverse hole of the boss of the second insert, and an opposite zone of the wall of the base cylinder; Winding the remainder of the web of porous material around the base roll, thus covering said sutures, to integrally form the body of the implant. Said sutures are thus perfectly protected against the friction that can exert the bones or surrounding tissues on the implant 20 during joint movements. The invention will be better understood, and other features and advantages thereof will become apparent, with reference to the appended diagrammatic drawing, showing, by way of non-limiting examples, two possible embodiments of the implant that it concerns. intended for the replacement of the trapezium bone. Figure 1 is a perspective view of three elements it comprises, according to a first embodiment; Figure 2 is a sectional view, after assembly; Figures 3 to 8 are sectional views in six successive steps of its manufacture; Figure 9 is a view after implantation; Figure 10 is a view similar to Figure 9, on an enlarged scale; Figure 11 is a perspective view of the three elements of the implant, according to the second embodiment; Figures 12 and 13 are side views of the implant, respectively in undeformed and deformed form, and Figures 14 and 15 are views respectively similar to Figures 12 and 13, in cross-section of the implant. .

Par simplification, les éléments ou parties d'éléments qui se retrouvent d'une forme de réalisation à l'autre seront identifiés par les mêmes références numériques et ne seront pas à nouveau décrits. Les figures 9 et 10 représentent un implant 1 de remplacement total ou partiel de l'os du trapèze, c'est-à-dire un implant destiné à permettre, après ablation du trapèze, de restituer la possibilité de mouvement articulé du premier métacarpien 101 par rapport au scaphoïde 102. Comme le montrent les figures 1 et 2, l'implant 1 comprend un corps 2 et deux inserts 3. Il peut également comprendre un ou plusieurs fils de suture 4, reliés à des aiguilles, pour sa fixation aux tissus environnants sa zone d'implantation, ces fils 4 étant engagés au travers de la paroi du corps 2. Ce dernier est constitué par une bande de polyester téréphtalate tricoté et/ou tissé, qui est enroulée en spirale de manière à forimer un cylindre à cavité axiale, les inserts 3 étant mis en place au niveau des deux extrémités axiales de ce cylindre.  For simplicity, elements or parts of elements that are found from one embodiment to another will be identified by the same reference numerals and will not be described again. Figures 9 and 10 show an implant 1 total or partial replacement of the trapezoid bone, that is to say an implant intended to allow, after ablation of the trapezium, to restore the possibility of articulated movement of the first metacarpal 101 relative to the scaphoid 102. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the implant 1 comprises a body 2 and two inserts 3. It may also include one or more son of suture 4, connected to needles, for attachment to tissues surrounding its area of implantation, these son 4 being engaged through the wall of the body 2. The latter is constituted by a knitted and / or woven polyester terephthalate tape, which is wound in a spiral so as to form a cavity cylinder axial, the inserts 3 being put in place at the two axial ends of this cylinder.

Les inserts 3 sont en un matériau métallique, notamment en acier inoxydable. Chacun d'eux présente une partie circulaire 5, définissant une surface articulaire 6, 7 sur une face, et comprend un bossage 8 faisant saillie de la face de cette partie circulaire 5 opposée à celles définissant ladite surface articulaire 6, 7.  The inserts 3 are made of a metallic material, in particular stainless steel. Each of them has a circular portion 5, defining an articular surface 6, 7 on one side, and comprises a boss 8 projecting from the face of this circular portion 5 opposite to those defining said articular surface 6, 7.

L'insert 3 destiné à coopérer avec le premier métacarpien 101 présente une surface articulaire 6 convexe et l'insert 3 destiné à coopérer avec le scaphoïde 102 présente une surface articulaire 7 concave. Chaque bossage 8 est dimensionné de telle sorte qu'il peut être engagé dans la cavité axiale du corps 2, et est percé d'un trou transversal 9.  The insert 3 intended to cooperate with the first metacarpal 101 has a convex articular surface 6 and the insert 3 intended to cooperate with the scaphoid 102 has a concave articular surface 7. Each boss 8 is dimensioned such that it can be engaged in the axial cavity of the body 2, and is pierced with a transverse hole 9.

Les figures 3 à 8 illustrent différentes les étapes successives de fabrication de l'implant 1. La bande de polyester téréphtalate est tout d'abord enroulée partiellement de manière à former un cylindre de base délimitant ladite cavité axiale, et les bossages 8 des deux inserts 3 sont engagés dans cette cavité, ainsi que le montre la figure 3. Un premier fil de suture 10 est ensuite mis en place comme indiqué sur la figure 4, en traversant à deux reprises une zone de la paroi du cylindre de base, le trou transversal 9 d'un premier insert 3, et une zone opposée de la paroi du cylindre de base, puis en traversant une zone de la paroi du cylindre de base, le trou transversal du bossage 9 du deuxième insert 3, et une zone opposée de la paroi du cylindre 5 de base. Les extrémités du fil 10 sont ensuite nouées (figure 5) puis fusionnées, ce fil 10 étant en un matériau thermofusible, notamment en polyester (cf. figure 6). Un deuxième fil de suture 11 est alors mis en place de la même manière, selon un parcours inversé par rapport à celui montré sur la figure 4, c'est-à- dire a partir de la face du cylindre de base située sur la droite de cette figure (figure 7). Le reste de la bande de polyester téréphtalate est alors enroulé autour du cylindre de base, recouvrant ainsi les fils 10, 11 et leurs sutures, jusqu'à constituer intégralement le corps 2 de l'implant 1, comme le montre la figure 8, et l'extrémité de cette bande est fixée au reste du corps 2 par une suture. L'implant 1 est mis en place dans l'espace laissé libre par l'ablation du trapèze, et, le cas échéant, est fixé aux tissus environnants au moyen des fils 4, de telle sorte que les surfaces articulaires 6, 7 des inserts 3 soient tournées vers les surfaces osseuses articulaires respectives du premier métacarpien 101 et du scaphoïde 102. Les surfaces osseuses articulaires portent donc contre les inserts 3 lors des mouvements articulaires, qui résistent parfaitement, compte tenu de leur matériau constitutif, aux frottements et pressions que ces surfaces exercent sur eux. Tout problème d'usure de l'implant et de diffusion de particules vers les tissus environnants est ainsi éliminé. Les surfaces articulaires 6, 7, respectivement convexe et concave, des inserts 3 sont adaptées aux formes respectives des surfaces articulaires du premier métacarpien 101 et du scaphoïde 102. La structure poreuse du corps 2 permet le maintien en position de l'implant 1 par croissance de cellules dans les pores de ce corps 2, et ce dernier est en outre légèrement déformable pour permettre une adaptation de l'implant 1 aux contraintes transmises par les os 101, 102, en particulier une légère compression de l'implant 1 dans la direction du rapprochement/éloignement des inserts 3 l'un de l'autre.  FIGS. 3 to 8 illustrate different successive steps in manufacturing the implant 1. The polyester terephthalate strip is first partially wound so as to form a base cylinder delimiting said axial cavity, and the bosses 8 of the two inserts 3 are engaged in this cavity, as shown in FIG. 3. A first suture thread 10 is then put in place as shown in FIG. 4, crossing twice a zone of the wall of the base cylinder, the hole transverse 9 of a first insert 3, and an opposite zone of the wall of the base cylinder, then passing through a zone of the wall of the base cylinder, the transverse hole of the boss 9 of the second insert 3, and an opposite zone of the wall of the base cylinder. The ends of the wire 10 are then knotted (FIG. 5) and then fused, this wire 10 being made of a hot-melt material, in particular polyester (see FIG. 6). A second suture 11 is then placed in the same manner, along an inverted path with respect to that shown in FIG. 4, that is to say starting from the face of the base cylinder situated on the right. of this figure (Figure 7). The remainder of the polyester terephthalate web is then wrapped around the base roll, thus covering the threads 10, 11 and their sutures, until integrally forming the body 2 of the implant 1, as shown in FIG. 8, and the end of this band is fixed to the rest of the body 2 by a suture. The implant 1 is placed in the space left free by ablation of the trapezium, and, where appropriate, is attached to the surrounding tissue by means of the son 4, so that the articular surfaces 6, 7 of the inserts 3 are turned towards the respective articular bone surfaces of the first metacarpal 101 and the scaphoid 102. The articular bone surfaces thus bear against the inserts 3 during articular movements, which resist perfectly, given their constituent material, the friction and pressure that these surfaces exert on them. Any problem of wear of the implant and diffusion of particles to the surrounding tissues is thus eliminated. The articular surfaces 6, 7, respectively convex and concave, of the inserts 3 are adapted to the respective shapes of the articular surfaces of the first metacarpal 101 and the scaphoid 102. The porous structure of the body 2 allows the position of the implant 1 to be maintained by growth. of cells in the pores of this body 2, and the latter is also slightly deformable to allow an adaptation of the implant 1 to the stresses transmitted by the bones 101, 102, in particular a slight compression of the implant 1 in the direction the approximation / removal of the inserts 3 from each other.

6 Les figures 11 à 15 représentent un implant 1 de même structure, c'est-à-dire comprenant un corps 2 et deux inserts 3 à bossages 8 et trous 9. Dans ce cas, le bossage 8 de l'un des inserts 3 forme une surface d'articulation concave 15 et le bossage 8 de l'autre insert 3 forme une surface d'articulation convexe, ces surfaces étant partiellement hémisphériques. Comme le montrent les figures 12 à 15, ces surfaces d'articulation 15, 16 viennent, lorsque l'implant 1 est constitué, au contact l'une de l'autre, formant ainsi une articulation multidirectionnelle qui permet la mobilité guidée d'un insert 3 par rapport à l'autre. L'implant 1 peut ainsi se déformer comme montré sur les figures 13 et 15, c'est-à-dire avec courbure du corps 2. L'invention fournit ainsi un implant de remplacement total ou partiel d'un os du trapèze, et, plus généralement, de tout os cuboïforrne, qui remédie à des inconvénients importants des implants existants de même indication. II va de soi que l'invention n'est pas limitée à la forme de réalisation décrite ci-dessus à titre d'exemple mais qu'elle s'étend à toutes les formes de réalisations couvertes par les revendications ci-annexées.FIGS. 11 to 15 show an implant 1 of the same structure, that is to say comprising a body 2 and two inserts 3 with bosses 8 and holes 9. In this case, the boss 8 of one of the inserts 3 forms a concave articulation surface 15 and the boss 8 of the other insert 3 forms a convex hinge surface, these surfaces being partially hemispherical. As shown in FIGS. 12 to 15, these articulating surfaces 15, 16 come, when the implant 1 is formed, in contact with one another, thus forming a multidirectional articulation which allows the guided mobility of a insert 3 with respect to the other. The implant 1 can thus be deformed as shown in FIGS. 13 and 15, that is to say with curvature of the body 2. The invention thus provides an implant for partial or total replacement of a trapezium bone, and more generally, any cuboid bone, which overcomes significant disadvantages of existing implants of the same indication. It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above by way of example but that it extends to all embodiments covered by the appended claims.
