DEVICE FOR GUIDING AN OSTEOTOME DURING
OST~OTO~Y OF LONG BONES
Tha invention relates to a device for guiding an internal saw for long tubular bone osteotomy.
It is already known to cut through tubular bones from the outside, through the periosteum or from the inside, out-wards from the medullary cavlty, for example if the tubular bones have to be lengthened or shortened or if bone segment displacements are reguired.
As a rule, external osteotomy is carried out with an oscil-lating saw (DE-AS 1491219). Once the bone has been exposed, first the periosteum and then the substantia corticalis mentioned cortex in the following are cut through. This cutting through of the periosteum wh~ch supplies the bone/s vital needs and which is rich in blood vessels, can result in vltality disorder~ duri~g the recovery process.
With regard to the osteotomy outwards from the drilled ou~
medullary cavity, in other words from the interior, the periosteal tube enclosing the tubular bone remains largely unharmed, so tha~ vitality disorders ln the reglon of the parting line through the bone are not anticipated.
,.
Osteotomy from the medullary cavity ls a particularly good idea if medullary nailing ls involved~ The access path for :
- 2 - ~ 3 ~
introduction of the medullary nail is in this case the same that is used for introduction of the lnternal saw, so that in the region of the osteotomy, not only the periosteal sheath but also the soft parts are intact.
In the case of osteotomy from within, a circular saw blade is used which is seated on a central arbor which is usually rotated by a compressed air drive. The arbor is guided by a guidance system which, with a slight bending action, pres-ses the saw blade against the cortex from within (DE-AS
1288241). Since the axis of rotation of the saw blade and the axis of rotation of the guide system are incllned at an angle, there is a marked axial loading on ~he saw blade so that it assumes an umbrella shape. Consequently, it is no longer possible to make a clean saw cut. It has been found that the cuts made with the known guide systems are not closed but become helical and blurred.
The problem on which the invention is based therefore resides in so developing the device for guiding an internal saw for the osteotomy of long tubular bones that it is possible to achieve an exact and circular cu-t through the cortex from inslde the medullary cavity at any desired locatlon along a tubular bone without any substantial damage to the periosteum.
Thls problem is resolved by an elongate stem, by a mandrel which pro~ects centrally from one end of the stem and in the peripheral surface of which there is recessed a longi-tudinal groove parallel with its axls and which continues in the stem and through the stem in a longitudinal recess which is orientated in alignment with the groove, and by a spacer sleeve adapted to be longitudinally displaced and fixed on the mandrel.
_ 3 _ ~a3~
Ideally, the longitudinal groove is at least a~ the bottom provided wi~h a circular cross-section, the radius of which corresponds to the longitudinal recess in the stem which is formed by an eccentric bore. So that the saw blade can saw into the cortex to its maximum depth, the depth of the longltudinal groove corresponds to the diameter of the bore or to the shaft which is guided in it.
The stem may be cylindrical in construc~ion and may extend coaxially with the mandrel.
The saw blade with its central arbor ls lntroduced into the drilled out medullary cavity as far as the intended osteo-tomy site. Then, the arbor is inserted into the longitudi-nal groove in the mandrel and through the bore in the stem, the saw being driven and in its positlon, sawing into the cortex, the final positlon of the device in relation to the tubular bone being determined by the previously correspond-ing displaced and fixed spacer sleeve. Then the device is rotated guaranteeing a perfect radial guidance of the saw blade. By means of the device according to the lnvention, therefore, the arbor of th internal saw which ls initially displaced centrally ln relation to the medullary cavity is displaced radially outwardly in the medullary cavity and into the longitudinal recess in the mandrel and the bore ln the stem, after which it is rotated together with the stem and the mandrel, the axis of which now extends centrally through the medullary cavity. Since the driving shaft is completely accommodated in the longitudinal groove in the mandrel, the saw blade is over virtually its entire radial extent between its periphery and its arbor, able to penetr-ate the cortex.
-. ~ .
- 4 - ~ ~3 If the dev$ce is so constructed that in an intermediate zone along its length, the mandrel has a cross-sect~on which is reduced beyond the bottom of its longitudinal groove, then in this intermediate zone there is no guidance of the arbor so that the device can al~o be used ln a curved medullary cavity.
A stable guidance of the arbor can be achieved lf the longitudinal groove in the portion of the mandrel on the tapered side i~ constructed as a bore which is tangent to its peripheral surface.
The device can be inserted into the medullary canal with particular ease if the end of the mandrel opposite the stem is tapered.
Ideally, at the end of the stem which is opposite the mandrel there is an arrangement for engaging a tool which rotates the stem, for example in the form of a hexagon constructed on the peripheral surface of the stem, for engagement of an appropriate spanner, or in the form of a bore into which a radial lever can be inserted.
Furthermore, it is possible to provide passages which extend through the stem and the mandrel to carry a cooling and/or rinslng fluid and also for carrying it away, toget-her with the saw waste. When it strikes the internal saw blade, the cooling fluid is thrown into the saw gap by centrifugal force and so flushes the sawn-out materlal to the discharge passage.
Examples of embodiment of the invention will be explalned in greater detail hereinafter with reference to ~he accom-panying drawings, in which:
~ 5 - ~ ~3~9 Fig. 1 is a perspectl~e vlew of a flrqt embodiment of the device;
Fig. 2 shows the device according to Fig. 1 with an inter-nal saw inserted into a tubular bone, and Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of the device~
The device shown in Figs. 1 to 3 consists of a cylindrical stem 10 at one end of which there is a hexagon 12 while at lts other end there is a coaxially projectlng cylindrical mandrel 20 the diameter of which is less than that of the stem 10. Disposed for longitudinal displacement on the mandrel 20 is a spacer sleeve 30. The spacer sleeve 30 can be fixed in an ad~usted axial position by means of a hexa-gon socket stud screw 31. The stem 10, the mandrel 20 and the spacer sleeve 30 have a common axis 21. At its free end, the mandrel 20 has a tapered portion 24.
The mandrel 20 has a peripheral surface 22 in which is recessed a longitudinal groove 23 which is parallel with the axis 21. Aligned with the longltudinal groove 23 there extends through the stem 10, parallel with the axis 21, a longitudinal recess which takes the form of a bore 14. The bore 14 and the longitudlnal groove 23 are so dimensioned that they can accommodate an arbor ~2 of an internal saw 43, shown in Fig. 2. For this purpose, the longitudinal groove 23 has a semi-circular bottom and side walls which extend as far as the peripheral surface 22.
In the case of the embodiment shown in Fig. 3, the mandrel 20 has at the stem end a portion 25 and at the tapered end a portion 27 along which the longitudinal groove 23 ex-tends. Between the stem end portlon 25 and the taper end portion 27 there is an intermediate portion 26 of a cross-section which is so reduced that the longitudlnal ~roove 23 is no longer present.
If in the case of the tubular bone 50 shown in Fig. 2 the medullary cavity 52 has been drilled out in known manner, the blade seated on the arbor 42 of the internal saw 43 is introduced as far as the place where the osteotomy is to be performed. Then the arbor 42 is inserted into the longitu-dinal groove 23 in the mandrel 20 and through the bore 14 in the stem 10 and then out of it. Once it has been connec-ted to a driving motor, not shown, the device, now wlth the arbor 42 rotating and with the axial position of the blade of the internal saw 43 unchanged, is advanced sufficiently far into the bone 50 that the spacer sleeve 30 bears against the tubular bone, this abutment position having been preset. During insertion of the device into the bone 50, the arbor 42 is already driven so that the blade of the internal saw 43 saws into the cortex at one site, mak$ng a cut 51, the depth of which, due to the proximity of the arbor 42 to the contours, corresponding to the maximum possible cutting depth of the blade of the internal saw 43.
If the spacer sleeve 30 is applied at the point of entry into the tubular bone, then on the arbor 42, a clamping sleeve 40 is pushed forwards as far as the he~agon 12 on the stem 10 and fixed by means of a locking screw 41. By means of a fork wrench applied to the hexagon 12 on the stem 10, ~t is now possible, while the internal saw 43 is being driven, slowly to rotate the device through 360a and the blade of the internal saw 43 makes a closed annular cut 51 into the cortex of the tubular bone 50 from within the medullary cavity without making any substantial inJury to the surrounding periosteum.

Examples of embodiment of the invention will be explalned in greater detail hereinafter with reference to ~he accom-panying drawings, in which:
~ 5 - ~ ~3~9 Fig. 1 is a perspectl~e vlew of a flrqt embodiment of the device;
Fig. 2 shows the device according to Fig. 1 with an inter-nal saw inserted into a tubular bone, and Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of the device~
The device shown in Figs. 1 to 3 consists of a cylindrical stem 10 at one end of which there is a hexagon 12 while at lts other end there is a coaxially projectlng cylindrical mandrel 20 the diameter of which is less than that of the stem 10. Disposed for longitudinal displacement on the mandrel 20 is a spacer sleeve 30. The spacer sleeve 30 can be fixed in an ad~usted axial position by means of a hexa-gon socket stud screw 31. The stem 10, the mandrel 20 and the spacer sleeve 30 have a common axis 21. At its free end, the mandrel 20 has a tapered portion 24.
The mandrel 20 has a peripheral surface 22 in which is recessed a longitudinal groove 23 which is parallel with the axis 21. Aligned with the longltudinal groove 23 there extends through the stem 10, parallel with the axis 21, a longitudinal recess which takes the form of a bore 14. The bore 14 and the longitudlnal groove 23 are so dimensioned that they can accommodate an arbor ~2 of an internal saw 43, shown in Fig. 2. For this purpose, the longitudinal groove 23 has a semi-circular bottom and side walls which extend as far as the peripheral surface 22.
In the case of the embodiment shown in Fig. 3, the mandrel 20 has at the stem end a portion 25 and at the tapered end a portion 27 along which the longitudinal groove 23 ex-tends. Between the stem end portlon 25 and the taper end portion 27 there is an intermediate portion 26 of a cross-section which is so reduced that the longitudlnal ~roove 23 is no longer present.
If in the case of the tubular bone 50 shown in Fig. 2 the medullary cavity 52 has been drilled out in known manner, the blade seated on the arbor 42 of the internal saw 43 is introduced as far as the place where the osteotomy is to be performed. Then the arbor 42 is inserted into the longitu-dinal groove 23 in the mandrel 20 and through the bore 14 in the stem 10 and then out of it. Once it has been connec-ted to a driving motor, not shown, the device, now wlth the arbor 42 rotating and with the axial position of the blade of the internal saw 43 unchanged, is advanced sufficiently far into the bone 50 that the spacer sleeve 30 bears against the tubular bone, this abutment position having been preset. During insertion of the device into the bone 50, the arbor 42 is already driven so that the blade of the internal saw 43 saws into the cortex at one site, mak$ng a cut 51, the depth of which, due to the proximity of the arbor 42 to the contours, corresponding to the maximum possible cutting depth of the blade of the internal saw 43.
If the spacer sleeve 30 is applied at the point of entry into the tubular bone, then on the arbor 42, a clamping sleeve 40 is pushed forwards as far as the he~agon 12 on the stem 10 and fixed by means of a locking screw 41. By means of a fork wrench applied to the hexagon 12 on the stem 10, ~t is now possible, while the internal saw 43 is being driven, slowly to rotate the device through 360a and the blade of the internal saw 43 makes a closed annular cut 51 into the cortex of the tubular bone 50 from within the medullary cavity without making any substantial inJury to the surrounding periosteum.
