Definitions
- the present invention relates to a means for constraining graft mate ⁇ rial according to the preamble of the independent claim.
- Grafting materials such as autologous bone, allograft bone, xenograft, organic or inorganic material or "bone paste", or other similar materi- als, are commonly used in procedures for fractures or surgical recon ⁇ struction of bones. These materials are used for two primary reasons - (1) in order to promote bone healing as a biologic response, and (2) in order to provide structural support.
- Intraarticular fractures are a common example of a situation in which grafting material can be used.
- the primary role of the grafting material is to buttress and/or support bone fragments in an anatomic or functional position; in addition, the graft material may function to promote healing.
- graft material does not maintain its position at the site of application, several potential problems may occur.
- Migration of graft material may lead to migration of the frag- ment to be supported; this in turn may result in complications of joint incongruity, arthritis, stiffness, pain, crepitance with joint motion, non-union or malunion, and secondary procedures (i.e. additional surgi ⁇ cal procedures), to name a few.
- graft material may have additional deleterious effects. Migration of grafting material into adjacent soft tissues may initiate an inflammatory reaction or cause complications from mechanical pressure and irritation. For in ⁇ stance, graft material pressing on a nerve may cause nerve damage. Graft material pressing on tendons may cause either fraying of the ten ⁇ don (even rupture) or may cause scarring and limitation of tendon glid ⁇ ing. Migration of graft material into an adjacent joint can cause ar- thritis and joint damage. Moreover, the ability of grafting material to stimulate bone formation may cause problems if the graft migrates into the soft tissues. Occasionally, this may even stimulate formation of heterotopic bone in the soft tissues, which can cause scarring, stiff- ness, inflammation and pain.
- the present invention addresses these problems by constraining the graft material at the site of application.
- one example of the present invention is to constrain graft material used with a commi- nuted Colles' fracture.
- this invention avoids the complications asso ⁇ ciated with migration or drift of the graft material.
- Figs.l and 2 are side and top views, respectively, of a first embodi ⁇ ment of the invention, applied on the radius;
- Fig. 3 is a top view, of a second embodiment of the invention.
- Fig. 4 is a top view, of a third embodiment of the invention.
- Figs.5 and 6 are side and top views, respectively, of a fourth embodi ⁇ ment of the invention, applied on the radius;
- Figs.7 and 8 are cross-section views of optional plates used with the invention.
- the expression “constraining end” is used to indi ⁇ cate the part of the graft constraint device which actually constrains the graft material.
- the expression “fastening end” is used to indicate the part of the graft constraint device which receives the fastening means for securing the device to a stable bone cortex.
- the first embodiment of the invention shown in Figs. 1 and 2 consists of a graft constraint device 10 having one constraining end 12 and one fastening end 13.
- the graft constraint device 10 is applied to a stable bone cortex of the radius 17 with fastening means.
- the fastening means is a screw 11 and a washer 14.
- the fastening means is only a screw, i.e. no washer is needed.
- the con ⁇ straining end 12 of the graft constraint device 10 is formed into a plate 15 covering the opening into which the graft material 1 is in ⁇ serted. In this embodiment and as viewed in Fig. 2 the plate 15 is broader than the fastening end 13.
- the size and design of the plate 15 is decided based on the conditions at the actual site of application, such as the positions and sizes of the fractures and fragments. Thus, in some embodiments the plate 15 may have the same width or even be narrower than the fastening end 13. At the outer end of the plate 15 pointed projections 16 are furnished for engagement with bone cortex. In another embodiment (not shown) the plate has no pointed projections.
- the graft constraint device 10 is secured to the radius 17 after the graft material has been placed.
- the plate has the form of a mesh or is furnished with multiple openings to allow ingrowth of blood vessels in the graft material.
- the graft constraint device 20 has a fastening end 23 and a constraining end 22.
- the fasten ⁇ ing end 23 is similar to the fastening end 13 of the first embodiment and has an opening 26 for receiving a fastening means.
- the constraining end 22 comprises malleable fingers 25, which allow contouring to the uneven anatomical site of application. The openings between the fingers 25 allow ingrowth of blood vessels into the grafting material.
- the graft constraint device 30 is a wire bent into a U-shape. The diameter of the wire is preferab ⁇ ly between 0.010" to 0.250".
- This graft constraint device 30 is fastened at stable bone cortex by means of a screw 11 and washer 14. Also this embodiment is malleable enough to allow contouring to the actual site of applica ⁇ tion and allow ingrowth of blood vessels into the grafting material 1.
- pointed projections cooperating with bone cortex are fur ⁇ nished at the outer ends of the fingers 35 of the graft constraint de ⁇ vice 30 made of a wire bent into a U-shape.
- the pointed projections may be formed by bending the outer part of the wires 35. The site of the bend decides how far into, or even through, the graft the projections will go.
- a small plate (Figs. 7, 8) is placed between the extraosseous surface of the radius and the fingers 35 of the U.
- the plate 50 is a simple straight plate.
- the plate is furnished with means to con ⁇ strain the plate from migrating.
- the means to constrain the plate from migrating have any suitable form such as the plate having a raised area 51 between the fingers 35 of the U, having two seats 52 for receiving the fingers 35 of the U, or having two small holes placed near the dis ⁇ tal edge of the plate to allow passage for the pointed projections of the bent fingers 35 of the U. If needed said plate is bent to conform to the dorsal surface.
- the fourth embodiment shown in Figs. 5 and 6 is especially intended for use with synthetic graft materials.
- synthetic "bone paste" made by Norian Corp.
- the bone paste is injected into the osseous defect and allowed to harden.
- a graft constraint de ⁇ vice would constrain the mate- rial, but would not prevent the graft material from displacing proxi- mally within the bone itself.
- the graft constraint device 40 according to this embodiment is U-shaped with the base of the "U” forming the fastening end 43.
- the fastening end 43 receives a screw 41 and washer 44 for securing the device to stable bone cortex.
- the constraint end 42 of the device 40 has the form of fingers 45 bent downward to project into the graft material 1.
- the fingers 45 are placed in the graft material while it is still soft. Then the synthetic graft mate ⁇ rial is allowed to harden around the fingers 45 projecting into the graft material .
- the constraining end is a combina- tion of the above embodiment and one of the previous embodiments.
- it has several "fingers" of which at least one projects into the graft material and at least one lies over the graft material.
- the graft constraint device is made thin and may in some embodiments be formed to follow the contour of the site of application, to minimize any discomfort for the patient.
- the graft constraint device is unobtru ⁇ sive to avoid irritation of the adjacent soft tissue.
- the graft constraint device at the same time as being soft enough to contour, has sufficient stiff ⁇ ness for its intended purpose as a buttress.
- screws with or without washers are used as fastening means.
- a person skilled in the art perceives that other fastening means may be used.
- pins, wires, blades, staples, brackets or indirect coaption with another de ⁇ vice scurely attached to the stable bone is used instead of screws to apply the device to a stable bone cortex.
- pointed projections cooperating with bone cortex are fur ⁇ nished at the constraining end 12,22,32,42 of the graft constraint de ⁇ vice 10,20,30,40 according to the different embodiments.
- the form of these pointed projections varies in that they may be pointed or not, and may be long enough to pass through a hole placed in the graft, such as a small hole drilled through a piece of cortical bone graft. Such an application would further constrain the graft material from slipping under the device.
- the above description has referred to but a limited number of embodi ⁇ ments of the present invention, but it will be readily perceived by a person skilled in the art that the present invention encompasses a large number of embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
