The present disclosure relates generally to spinal distraction, and more specifically to devices and methods related to use of a spinal implant to distract a spinal facet joint.
Chronic back problems are one of the most common causes of pain and disability in the United States and other developed countries, and they account for enormous economic costs. According to at least one estimate, spinal fusion procedures, in which two adjacent vertebrae are fused together using plates, screws and other implants, are the most commonly performed surgical procedures in the United States. Spinal fusion is often performed in conjunction with an attempt to increase space between the two adjacent vertebrae being operated on (spinal distraction) and to thus prevent impingement of the spinal cord or nerve roots branching from the spinal cord and passing through openings in the vertebral column (radiculopathy). Unfortunately, most techniques and devices used for performing spinal fusion are relatively invasive and involve a number of risks and difficult recovery and rehabilitation. One of the reasons that spinal fusion surgery is often very invasive is that, due to the position of the spinal cord in back of (posterior to) the central vertebral bodies of spine, many of the procedures require entering the patient through the front of the body (an “anterior approach”) and dissecting through various tissues to gain access to the spine. Fusion procedures are often performed on the cervical spine (neck region), which requires dissecting through the neck, or the lumbar spine (lower back region), which requires dissecting through the abdomen. In either case, cutting through the anterior tissues of the patient to reach the spine is not without risk. Fusion procedures may also involve relatively large plates and screws, which require a relatively large surgical access field and thus more dissection of tissue than would be ideal. Not only are these invasive spinal fusion techniques potentially risky, but they are also expensive and typically require lengthy recovery and rehabilitation times.
Therefore, a need exists for alternative devices and methods for treating spinal instability and spinal stenosis, particularly via fusion of adjacent vertebrae. Such devices and methods may be minimally invasive or less invasive than many of the currently available techniques. For example, it may be advantageous to have devices and methods that use a posterior approach for accessing the spine. At least some of these objectives will be met by the embodiments described below.

These and other aspects and embodiments will be described in further detail below, with reference to the attached drawing figures.
The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated into and constitute a part of the specification, illustrate embodiments of the disclosure and, together with the general description above and the detailed description below, serve to explain the principles of these embodiments.
Aspects of the present disclosure generally involve devices and methods for treating spinal instability, spinal stenosis and radiculopathy. Spinal stenosis reflects a narrowing of one or more areas of the spine, often in the upper or lower back. This narrowing can put pressure on the spinal cord or on the nerves that branch out from the compressed areas (radiculopathy). Individual vertebrae of the spine are positioned relative to each other, and their separation is maintained by discs separating main vertebral bodies and by capsules positioned within facet joints. The discs and capsules are separated from the bone of their respective joints by cartilage. Spinal stenosis is often indicative of degeneration of a disc, a capsule, or the cartilage in a joint, which leads to a compression of the joints and the narrowing mentioned.
Various embodiments of a device, system and method are described herein for posterior fixation of two adjacent vertebrae of a spine, in an effort to ameliorate spinal instability, spinal stenosis and radiculopathy. Some embodiments involve delivery of the fixation device or implant from a posterior approach using a delivery device.
Lateral mass screws and rods are commonly used in spine surgery as a means for cervical posterior fixation. The system spans multiple levels of the spine to fixate the desired posterior cervical construct. The procedure is considered invasive and undesirable if the patient's morbidity does not require additional posterior procedure(s) such as a laminectomy or foraminotomy.
In addition, there are challenges in placing lateral mass screws in the posterior cervical spine such as ensuring proper trajectory across the lateral mass, preventing bone breach which may cause nerve or tissue damage, properly anchoring the screws in bone to prevent screw backout, and adequate fixation due to poor bone quality.
The devices and methods disclosed herein describe less invasive ways to provide posterior fixation and fusion by placing a cage implant within the intra-facet of the cervical spine and adding additional screws that interface with the cage to fixate the spanning construct of the superior and inferior articular surfaces of the facet joint. Multiple cages and screws can span one or multiple levels of the posterior cervical construct. This can be achieved by placing the cages and screws bilaterally at each cervical facet level that is desired to be fixated.
The cage implant distracts or maintains the intra-facet space thereby reducing or preventing radiculopathy by relieving the impinged lateral nerve root of the treated cervical level. In addition, the cage is wedged in the facet space, immobilizing the motion of the treated construct to provide fixation needed for cervical fusion. In certain embodiments, the two screws that interface with the cage also anchor into the superior and inferior articular surfaces to provide additional fixation to further reduce motion of the treated level to promote fusion.
Turning now to the figures,
The cage delivery system 100 may be used with a cannulated instrument, such as a guide tube, to provide a minimally disruptive way of accessing the surgical site and deploying the cage and screws through the instrument's cannulated channel.
In some examples, the cage delivery system 100 includes a cage delivery instrument 500, a guide tube 600, and an implant or cage 300. The cage delivery instrument 500 may include a cage holder 200, and a release driver 400, and the system 100 or instrument 500 may further include a bone screw delivery device 700.
In some examples, a proximal end 604 of the guide tube 600 may be formed as a handle. The distal end 602 of the guide tube 600 may be formed as forks, arms or protrusions 602 with serrated surfaces. Adjacent the forks 602 may be a raised or stop feature 606, that when contacting a vertebrae, may help to prevent from the over-advancement of the end 602 of the guide tube 600 into the target location.
The guide tube 600 may be formed as a hollow tube or longitudinally extending lumen through which various tools, such as a cage holder 200 and implant 300 may be inserted through to access a target location.
In use, to prepare for deployment, the release driver 400 may be inserted through the cage holder 200. A distal end of the release driver may extend past the distal end of the cage holder 200, and the implant 300 may be detachably coupled to the distal end of the release driver. The guide tube 600 may then be deployed to a target location, for example a facet joint, such as a cervical facet joint. Once deployed, the implant 300, positionably coupled to the cage holder 200 via the release driver 400, is inserted through the hollow tube of the guide tube 600, until the implant 300 reaches the target location. Once the implant reaches the target location, the release driver 400 may be disengaged or decoupled from the implant 300, and the release driver may then be removed from within the cage holder. A bone screw delivery device 700, with a distal region 704 including another implant or fastener, such as a bone screw 708, may then be inserted through the cage holder to be coupled to the implant 300. Using the bone screw delivery device, the bone screw 708 may engage with threaded holes of the implant and also engage with adjacent surfaces of the facet joint. The bone screw 708 may then be separated from the shaft 706 of the bone screw delivery device 700 upon the distal region 704 experiencing a predetermined load, as described in more detail below. The cage holder 200, guide tube 600 and remaining portion of the bone screw delivery device 700 (i.e. the shaft portion 706) may be removed from the target location, leaving the implant 300 and the bone screw 708 in place.
The release driver 400 may include a proximal end formed by a driver handle 402, and a threaded distal end 404, and a shaft coupling the driver handle 402 and threaded distal end 404. The bone screw delivery device 700 may include a proximal end including a handle 702, and a distal region 704 including a bone screw 708, and a shaft coupling the handle 702 to the distal region 704. A breakable junction 710 is defined between the shaft and the bone screw.
The cage holder 200 may include a proximal end or portion formed by a delivery instrument handle 202 and a distal end or portion 204 opposite the handle 202. The handle 202 may be received by and used to couple with a handle of the guide tube 600. The shaft 206 may couple the delivery instrument handle 202 and distal end 204. In some examples, as explained with reference to
The guide tube 1600 may be formed as a hollow tube or longitudinally extending lumen through which various tools, such as a cage holder 200, 1200 and implant 300, 1300 may be inserted through to access a target location. In some embodiments, the guide tube 1600 may also include an aperture or cutout 1610. The cutout 1610 is located on the tip portion of the guide tube that is welded to the main shaft. The cutout is used for additional welding in addition to a circumferential seam weld.
In some embodiments, the aperture or cutout 1610 of the guide tube 1600 may extend through a sidewall 1608 of the guide tube adjacent the distal end 1602. In use in this embodiment, the cutout 1610 may allow for the visual confirmation of the tool's position as it is extended through the lumen of the guide tube 1600. For example, a practitioner could visually see the position of a cage holder 200 and implant 300 within the guide tube 1600 as the tools are inserted through the lumen of the guide tube to access a target location.
The implant 300 may include a main body 302 defined by opposing top and bottom surfaces 304, 306, opposing front and rear surfaces 308, 310, and opposing side surfaces 312. In some embodiments, some of the surfaces (e.g., the opposing top and bottom surfaces 304, 306) may be generally planar. The implant 300 may be generally cuboid in shape, though other shapes are contemplated that permit the implant 300 to be inserted within a spinal facet joint and maintain a certain distance between two adjacent vertebrae. The front surface 308 may be rounded in shape and have a tapered or bull-nosed shaped profile.
In some examples, as shown in
To reduce weight and offer cross-sectional areas for new bone growth and fusion, for instance, the implant 300 may include one or more windows 320 defined in at least one surface of the main body 302. For example without limitation, the implant 300 of
In such embodiments, a hollow interior of the implant 300 may include one or more chambers, such as a distal chamber 324 positioned near the front of the implant 300. To permanently fuse adjacent vertebrae together, the chambers 324 may by packed (via the windows 320, for instance) with a bone or bone substitute material to cause bone ingrowth into the hollow interior of the implant 300.
With continued reference to
For instance, the at least one retaining feature of the implant 300 may include a plurality of protrusions 332 extending away from at least one of the opposing top and bottom surfaces 304, 306 of the main body 302 (e.g., from both the top and bottom surfaces 304, 306). As described herein, the protrusions 332, which may be referred to as teeth, may be operable to permit the implant 300 to be inserted into a spinal facet joint but may also limit its removal therefrom. For example, the protrusions 332 may be directionally sized and shaped such that a force required to remove the implant 300 from the spinal facet joint is substantially greater than a force required to insert the implant 300 within the facet joint. In this manner, the implant 300 may be inserted into proper position within the facet joint as desired. Once inserted, the protrusions 332 may limit movement of the implant 300 within the facet joint in at least the removal direction. In some embodiments, the protrusions 332 may be operable to limit lateral movement of the implant 300 within the facet joint.
As shown in
In addition to the description above, the protrusions 332 may be variously sized and shaped in other ways. For instance, the height of the protrusions 332 (as defined by the tips 338) may be uniform or may vary along the length of the implant 300 between the front and rear surfaces 308, 310 of the main body 302. For instance, the protrusions 332 positioned nearer the front surface 308 of the main body 302 may have a smaller height than the protrusions 332 positioned away from the front surface 308 (see
With continued reference to
With continued reference to
The mating geometry of the rear face 310 of the implant 300 may include an additional engagement feature, such as keyways 340, 350, as shown in
To aid in securing the implant 300 within the facet joint, the securement aperture 362 may be angled so the bone screw inserted therein extends upwardly to engage an upper or superior vertebra and a second bone screw inserted therein extends downwardly to engage a lower or inferior vertebrae. In some applications, only one of the angled securement apertures 362 may be engaged. In use, a bone screw may then be positioned within each aperture 362 to engage adjacent vertebrae. The angled securement apertures may help dictate the trajectory of the screw, and may also help provide an anchor utility to couple or anchor the screws to the implant or cage 300. The angled securement apertures may also be used to attach or couple the cage or implant 300 to the cage delivery instrument 500.
The implant 300 may be inserted within a patient's facet joint irrespective of the relative positions of the top and bottom surfaces 304, 306. As shown in
In some examples, the engagement features may include key or male feature 240, 250. In some examples, the keyed features 240, 250 are similar or symmetrical with each other. In some examples, the keyed features 240, 250 may differ from each other in at least one feature or aspect.
In an example, the key 240 includes flat portion 242 and rounded portion 244. The combination of the flat portion 242 and rounded portion 244 may form an L-like shape. This may create a positive engagement with female or keyway features 340 adjacent or formed on the rear face 310 on the implant 300. In some examples, the key 250 includes a flat portion 252 and rounded portion 254. The combination of the flat portion 252 and rounded portion 254 may also create an L-like shape to help create a positive engagement with female or keyway features 350 adjacent to or formed on rear face 310 on the implant 300.
In some examples, the key 240, 250 may each extend between about 45 and about 90 degrees radially about an outer circumferences of the distal end 204. In some examples, the radial length or distance of the key 240, 250 is decreased as a chamfer 264 may also extend about the outer circumference, in between the outlets of the first channel 220 and second channel 230.
With continued reference to
As shown in
As shown in
Aperture 266 is the inlet to the channel 220. Aperture 268 is the inlet to the channel 230. In use, the release driver 400 is removed from the cage system 100, exposing the handle holes 266, 268. The release driver 400 and the bone screw delivery device 700, may each be placed down either handle hole 266, 268 and deployed into the implant or cage one at a time or in series. For example, the threaded distal end 404 of the release driver 400 may be inserted through either aperture 266 or aperture 268 to then couple the threaded distal end 404 with the implant. The cage release driver 400 can be first placed down either handle hole 266, 268 in the delivery instrument handle 202. The release driver 400 is guided by the respective internal channel 220, 230 on the holder shaft 206 and exits at the cage holder's distal end 204.
The delivery system 100 may be used to release the implant 300 from the release driver 400 and cage holder 200. Once the implant is positioned, the handle of the release driver may be rotated to disengage the implant from the release driver. The release driver may then be removed and separated from the cage holder 200. In one implementation, the release driver includes engagement features at a distal tip 404 of the shaft. The engagement features may be any feature adapted to engage the securement feature 360 or a feature of the rear surface 310 of the implant 300. For example, the engagement member on the end of the distal tip may be threaded members.
The delivery system 100 may include an engagement feature to secure the implant 300 to adjacent vertebrae. In one implementation, the bone screw delivery device 700 includes a flexible shaft or rod 706 and includes a bone screw 708 at a tip of the distal region 704 of the flexible shaft 706. The engagement features may be any feature adapted to engage the securement feature 360 or a feature of the rear surface 310 of the implant 300. For example, the engagement member on the end of the distal tip may be threaded members of the bone screw 708.
The lumens or channels 220, 230 in the cage holder 200 help to guide the bone screw(s) 708 to the rear surface of the implant 300 and the corresponding threaded securement aperture. In use, the bone screw delivery device 700 is rotated or advanced, such as via the handle, and the bone screw 708 engages with the threaded apertures of the implant and into the adjacent vertebra. Upon the bone screw 708 becoming sufficiently secured to the vertebral bone, a breakable junction 710 defined between the shaft 706 and the bone screw 708 experiences a predetermined load to cause the bone screw 708 to detach from the shaft 706 of the bone screw delivery device 700. In some examples, the bone screw 708 is driven into the implant 300 and bone until the head 712 of the screw hard stops against the back surface 310 of the implant. The screw 708 is then snapped or broken off at the designated break-off point or breakable junction 710 along its shaft to complete the deployment.
The rear surface 1310 of the implant 1300 may include an engagement feature configured to receive a corresponding engagement feature on a tool. In some examples, the engagement feature includes mating geometry that engages a tip of a distal end of a cage holder. This mating geometry may help prevent rotation and translational movement when the cage or implant 1300 is attached or coupled to the cage holder 1200. In an example, the engagement feature includes a rectangular protrusion 1340 with rounded corners 1350. The rectangular protrusion 1340 and rounded corners 1350 may align with mating geometry of the cage holder 1200, so that the engagement feature of the implant seats at least partially within a groove, recess or counter-bore feature on the distal end of the cage holder.
The protrusion 1340 with rounded corners may include the securement apertures that may be at least partially defined in the protrusion. In some embodiments, and in order to accommodate the mating geometry of the rear face, the protrusions 1332 do not extend the entire length of the implant or at least such protrusions 1332 are not positioned on the engagement feature (protrusion extending from the rear or proximal face) but rather are positioned near or adjacent the engagement feature. In some embodiments, the trailing face 1336 of the protrusion(s) 1332 closest to the rear face is/are not aligned with or coplanar with the rear surface of the implant. Instead, the protrusion (and its trailing face) is a distance away from or spaced apart from the rear face.
As shown in
The engagement feature of the cage holder may include a rectangular shaped recess, groove or counter bore 1240, with rounded corners 1250. The recess 1240 may be configured to positively position or engage with the protrusion 1340 of the implant 1300. In use, the protrusion 1340 of the implant may seat at least partially within the recess 1240 of the cage holder.
The cage holder 1200 may also include two generally parallel but offset lumens or channels 1220, 1230 (see
In some examples, the distal end 1204 of the cage holder may include a chamfer 1264 that extends from the tip 1205 towards the proximal end of the cage holder. The tip 1205 of the cage holder may include an additional recess 1255 positioned between the distal ends of the two tubes 1225, 1235 or channels 1220, 1230. In some examples, the implant may include an additional engagement feature that is configured to engage with recess 1255 when the implant is coupled to the cage holder 1200.
In some embodiments, the handle may further include an orientation mark or arrow to indicate the orientation for insertion and aid a new user with the order of deployment (lower lumen, then upper lumen) for ease of training and deployment consistency. However, the device can work in either orientation, and the two screws can be deployed in any order, depending on which lumen is used to retain the cage with the release driver.
In step 918, the method may include removing the fourth tool from the third tool through the first interior channel. In step 920, the method may include inserting the fourth tool through the second interior channel, such as channel 230, of the third tool, the cage holder. In step 922, the method may include securing the second securement feature, such as aperture 363, extending through the main body of the spinal implant to a second adjacent vertebra, for example using bone screw 708 engaging the threaded aperture 363 and the adjacent bony surface, to fixedly secure the spinal implant within the spinal facet joint. In step 924, the method may include removing the first tool such as the guide tube, third tool such as the cage holder, and fourth tool such as the bone screw delivery device from the facet joint and spinal surgical site, leaving the implant secured to two adjacent vertebra.
