Problems solved by technology

Although various prosthetic materials and shapes are different, these prostheses generally have the following disadvantages: First, the common artificial cervical intervertebral disc products have a cumbersome structure and relatively complicated surgery, which can easily cause heterotopic ossification
[0003] Chinese patent application 200620112142 discloses a "shrapnel-type artificial intervertebral disc", although this solution uses a horseshoe-shaped shrapnel, and measures such as a plurality of barbs are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the shrapnel to realize the cooperation with the patient's normal intervertebral disc. purpose, but there are still the following major deficiencies: First, from the perspective of biophysics, the upper and lower sides of the shrapnel have a symmetrical structure, which can neither satisfy the physiological lordosis of the human cervical spine, nor can it fill the intervertebral space well, so that the intervertebral disc The flexion, extension, and compression shock absorption functions are limited, so the horseshoe-shaped shrapnel is not the best elastic body; the second is that the barbs provided on the upper and lower sides of the shrapnel only have a one-way stop function, and it is easy to cause prosthesis and vertebral body damage. The stress concentration on the surface; the third is the lack of precision design means for the curvature and height, so that the implanted prosthesis cannot restore and maintain the height of the intervertebral space and the stability of the segment; the fourth is the existing integrated shrapnel type After artificial cervical disc implantation, the range of motion of the segment is quite different from that of the normal cervical segment, and the motion function of the normal cervical segment cannot be restored well.

Embodiment 1

[0026]Example 1: Establishing a finite element model of the C5-C6 segment of the cervical spine with an integrated artificial cervical intervertebral disc. The body (1) in the finite element model is an Ω-shaped non-contact elastic structure with integrated upper and lower end plates. The outer surfaces of the upper and lower end plates of the body (1) are respectively symmetrically equipped with herringbone bidirectional anti-retraction teeth (2). The thickness of the rear end bending section of (1) is 0.8mm, and the material of the body (1) is respectively selected from near-β-type Ti13Nb13Zr titanium alloy, Ti6Al4V titanium alloy or pure titanium, among which: the elastic modulus of near-β-type Ti13Nb13Zr titanium alloy is 60GPa; The elastic modulus of titanium material is 114GPa; the elastic modulus of Ti6Al4V titanium alloy is 110GPa.

[0027] The simulation analysis was carried out under the forward bending load, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0034] Example 2: Establishing a finite element model of the C5-C6 segment cervical vertebra of the integrated artificial cervical intervertebral disc. The body (1) in the finite element model is an Ω-shaped non-contact elastic structure with integrated upper and lower end plates. The outer surfaces of the upper and lower end plates of the body (1) are respectively symmetrically equipped with herringbone bidirectional back and forth teeth. The body (1) The thickness of the rear end bending section is 0.8mm, and the body (1) is made of β-type titanium alloy Ti-29Nb-13Ta-4.6Zr, whose strength, fatigue life, wear resistance and mechanical properties are close to TC4 titanium alloy, but the elastic modulus The amount of 70GPa is much lower than that of TC4 titanium alloy. The simulation analysis was carried out under the loads of flexion, extension and lateral flexion, and the results obtained were compared with the finite element segmental simulation results of prostheses made of...

Abstract

The invention relates to an integrated artificial cervical intervertebral disc false body with high mobility. The body is of an Omega -shaped non-contact elastic structure with an upper end plate and a lower end plate integrated. The body is made of a titanium alloy with elasticity modulus being 55-90 Gpa and yield strength equal to or larger than 600MPa. Herringbone two-way retreating-stopping inverting teeth or rhombic two-way retreating-stopping inverting teeth are symmetrically arranged on the outer surfaces of the upper end plate and the lower end plate of the body respectively. The lower end plate of the body is 10-16mm in length, the upper end plate is 1mm shorter than the lower end plate, the distance between the upper end plate and the lower end plate is 2-3.5mm, the total height of the body is 5-8mm, and the thickness of the bending section at the rear end of the body is 0.5-0.9mm. The integrated artificial cervical intervertebral disc false body can meet the requirements for long service life and fatigue resistance, greatly improves the mobility of lesion bone sections of patients and is scientific and reasonable in achieving methods, remarkable in effects, obvious in advantages and favorable for improving health level of people.
