Abstract

The supporting element for holding two adjacent vertebrae in the spine at a distance consists of at least one flexible cushion which can be inserted in place of an intervertebral disc between two vertebrae.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Stützelement zum Halten zweier benachbarter Wirbel der Wirbelsäule auf Abstand.The invention relates to a support element for holding two Adjacent vertebrae of the spine at a distance.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein einfach aufgebautes Stützelement mit hoher Lebensdauer zu schaffen.The invention has for its object a simple structure To create a support element with a long service life.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch Anwendung der Merkmale des Kennzeichens des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.According to the invention, this object is achieved by using the features of the characterizing part of claim 1 solved.

Ein weiterer Vorteil des erfindungsgemäßen Stützelementes ist darin zu sehen, daß es Bewegungen der Wirbelsäule wie in gesundem Zustand zuläßt und daß keine neben der Wirbelsäule zu implantierende Elemente erforderlich sind.Another advantage of the support element according to the invention is in seeing that there are movements of the spine as in healthy Condition permits and that none next to the spine implanting elements are required.

Zwei Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung sind anhand der Zeichnung beschrieben. In dieser zeigt:Two embodiments of the invention are based on the drawing described. In this shows:

Fig. 1 Teile einer Wirbelsäule in einem schematischen Längsschnitt, Fig. 1 parts of a spinal column in a diagrammatic longitudinal section,

Fig. 2 eine erste Ausführungsform des Stützelementes in einer Ansicht und Fig. 2 shows a first embodiment of the support element in a view and

Fig. 3 eine zweite Ausführungsform eines Stützelementes in einer teilweise aufgebrochenen Ansicht. Fig. 3 shows a second embodiment of a support element in a partially broken view.

Fig. 1 zeigt einen Ausschnitt einer Wirbelsäule mit mehreren Wirbeln 1 zwischen denen zum Teil Bandscheiben 2 vorhanden sind. Zwischen zwei Wirbeln 1 ist die Bandscheibe entfernt und durch ein elastisches Kissen 3 ersetzt. Das elastische Kissen 3 umfaßt eine Umhüllung 4 aus einem flexiblen Werkstoff. In die Umhüllung 4 ist ein Fluid 5, eingefüllt. Dieses Fluid kann ein gasförmiges Medium, wie beispielsweise Luft, oder eine Flüssigkeit, wie beispielsweise Öl oder Siliconöl sein. Der flexible Werkstoff der Umhüllung 4 ist körperverträglich und undurchlässig für das eingefüllte Fluid. Zweckmäßig ist die Umhüllung 4 nach dem Einfüllen des Fluids durch Verschweißen verschlossen. Wie Fig. 2 zeigt, weist das Kissen 3 in Draufsicht eine U-förmige, im eingesetzten Zustand den Wirbelkanal umgreifende Gestalt auf. Fig. 1 shows a portion of a spinal column with a plurality of vertebrae 1 between which discs 2 are present in some cases. The intervertebral disc is removed between two vertebrae 1 and replaced by an elastic cushion 3 . The elastic cushion 3 comprises an envelope 4 made of a flexible material. A fluid 5 is filled into the casing 4 . This fluid can be a gaseous medium, such as air, or a liquid, such as oil or silicone oil. The flexible material of the casing 4 is compatible with the body and impermeable to the filled fluid. The envelope 4 is expediently closed by welding after the fluid has been filled in. As shown in FIG. 2, the pillow 3 has a U-shaped shape in plan view, encompassing the spinal canal in the inserted state.

Das Kissen 6 gemäß Fig. 3 weist eine in Draufsicht stabförmige Gestalt auf. Es besteht wiederum aus einer Umhüllung 7, in die ein elastischer Werkstoff 8, beispielsweise ein Schaumstoff eingebracht ist. Bei Verwendung der Kissen 6 sind zwei Kissen parallel verlaufend oder drei im Dreieck angeordnete Kissen zur Abstützung zweier benachbarter Wirbel 1 zu implantieren.The pad 6 according to FIG. 3 has a rod-like shape in plan view. It again consists of a covering 7 , into which an elastic material 8 , for example a foam, is introduced. When using the cushions 6 , two cushions running parallel or three cushions arranged in a triangle are to be implanted to support two adjacent vertebrae 1 .

Eine weitere Ausführungsform sieht vor, daß das Kissen aus einem einheitlichen elastischen Werkstoff besteht.Another embodiment provides that the pillow from a uniform elastic material.
