Definitions

  • This invention relates to drilling apparatus for use in surgical procedures and, in particular, to an apparatus and method for aligning such apparatus in order to assist in the insertion of distal cross- screws in intramedullary fixation devices. It is to be understood however that, while the invention is described herein in relation to its use in medicine it is anticipated that the techniques described will find wide application in industry wherever accurate place ⁇ ment and alignment of drilling apparatus is necessary.
  • damaged bones, partic- ularly the tibia and femur in the leg are repaired by being reamed out axially along their length, and a rod inserted into the interior of the bone.
  • the rod is provided with transverse holes into which cross-screws are screwed to thereby hold the rod firmly within the bone.
  • the transverse holes are normally provided at opposite ends of the rod so that the broken parts of the bone are held together in correct alignment, rotation and length while the bone is healing.
  • the proximal cross-screw is readily fixed by means of a suitable jig, a technique which is well known and will not be described.
  • the distal end presents something of a problem to the surgeon because it is deeply buried in the bone. The surgeon needs to drill through the bone at the exact correct position, and in exact alignment with the transverse hole at the distal end of the rod. Once he has done. this, the cross screw can be inserted and attached as described.
  • the present invention is primarily, although not exclusively, concerned with the correct placement and alignment of the drill for the distal drilling operation.
  • US patents 4418422 and 4625718 both assigned to Howmedica International Inc., describe aiming devices for use in osteosynthesis. In both cases, alignment is achieved using an X-ray source and detector rigidly connected together at opposite ends of a C-arm so that the damaged bone can be inserted in the beam path between source and detector. The output from the detector is monitored on a television or similar monitor. The present invention utilises a similar arrangement of X-ray source, detector and display monitor, which will be assumed throughout.
  • US 4625718 in particular, describes an aiming device in which the drill is gripped in the rotating part of an elongate holder having hand grips whereby the surgeon can correctly place and align the drill.
  • the rotating part of the drill is made of a material which is radiolucent - i.e. relatively transparent to X-ray radiation - so that a parallax method can be used to align the drill using the X-ray source-detector arrangement.
  • the drill is rotated by a motor mounted on the holder.
  • the present invention seeks to provide an improved aiming technique by providing that a fixed (i.e. non-rotating) part of the drill bit holder is made of radiolucent material and is provided with two concentric rings of a radio-opaque material.
  • the rings are spaced apart in the direction of the drill axis whereby, by observing the images of the two rings on the display monitor, the operator can align the drill bit by aligning the rings.
  • radiolucent and radio-opaque are relative terms; it will be clear that what is necessary is that the concentric rings be relatively more opaque than the surrounding material so that the rings can be readily discerned on the monitor.
  • the drill bit itself which is usually made from radio-opaque material, is positioned at the centre of the rings and has an axis which is orthogonal to the plane of the two rings.
  • the drill bit will be discernible in the centre of the concentric rings.
  • the drill bits used can be any of the commercially-available drill bits used in surgical applications; the apparatus can also be adapted to use Kirschner wires.
  • special drill bits of hollow section are used as a further alignment aid.
  • the drill bits are thus of tubular construction and of radio-opaque material. When seen on the screen, the radiolucent centres of these hollow drill bits appear as a circle when the drill is in exact alignment with the X-ray beam. If out of alignment, the circle is either distorted or, if considerably out of alignment, will disappear altogether.
  • the cutting point of such hollow drill bits may be formed in various ways: for example as a small flat plate of hard material extending diametrically across the drill bit at the end, said plate being shaped to provide a cutting point.
  • the image of the centre of the drill bit on the screen becomes split in two by the plate, but provided the plate is not too thick in proportion to the interior diameter of the drill bit, the operation is not unduly affected.
  • the hollow interior of the drill bit may be plugged at the drill tip end by radiolucent material to aid in cleaning the drill bit. Indeed, the whole interior of the drill bit may be filled with radiolucent material.
  • the motor for rotating the drill is mounted separately from the drive head, and motion is communicated to the drive head by means of a flexible drive. This considerably reduces both the size and the weight of the drive head and makes for an instrument which is much easier to handle and manoeuvre than the known devices.
  • the flexible drive can be fitted at the remote end to a wide range of available drills, thus increasing versatility, and saving additional costs.
  • the drill is positioned and aligned by first applying X-ray radiation from the source to the detector through the broken bone. It is assumed that the intramedullary rod is already in place and now needs to be attached at its distal end, and that the limb is clamped in place.
  • the X-ray source-detector arrangement is adjusted so that the X-ray beam is aligned with the transverse hole at the distal end of the rod. This is achieved by watching for a circular image on the screen.
  • the X-ray source-detector arrangement is now clamped in this position.
  • the object of the exercise is to centre the drill bit over the circular image of the transverse hole and, when in this position to align the drill bit with the hole and keep it that way during drilling.
  • the two concentric rings are the same diameter so that alignment is achieved by getting their respective images one on top of the other on the display.
  • the concentric rings may, on the other hand, be of slightly different sizes so that alignment is obtained by visually fitting the image of one within the image of the other.
  • the start point for the drilling operation is located, once the X-ray beam has been aligned with the distal hole, by moving the point of the drill bit over the skin of the limb to find the approximate place to make a small, typically 1.5 cm long, incision in the skin through to the bone.
  • the drill bit may conveniently be mounted in a small handle, rather than using the more cumbersome drilling head itself.
  • An example of a suitable handle is described hereinafter.
  • the point of the drill bit is now placed onto the bone surface and moved in order to accurately centre its image with that of the transverse hole in the rod. This will generally be found easier to achieve by slightly tilting the drill bit so that its image on the monitor is arrow-like. Having once located the point of the drill bit over the centre of the transverse hole, the drill bit is then tilted into alignment with the hole by obtaining a concentric image on the monitor and is then twisted back and forth to make a dimple in the cortex. Next, preferably keeping the point located in the dimple, the handle (if fitted) is removed and replaced by the drill head. Alignment of the drill bit is then checked using the concentric rings and hollow drill centre, as described above, and drilling is commenced. The alignment can be checked at intervals during drilling by stopping the rotation of the drill and taking a radiograph.

  • the television monitor is positioned so that it can be viewed by the surgeon and radiographer during the operation to repair the limb.
  • the apparatus for achieving this is illustrated in Figure 2, to which reference will now be made.
  • the apparatus comprises a drill head 11 of radiolucent material, for example polysulfone or acetal, to which are attached two arms 12, 13 which terminate in handles 14.
  • the handles are used by the surgeon to control and operate the drilling apparatus and are well spaced apart so that he can keep his own body well clear of the X-ray beam.
  • Attached at the side of the drill head 11 by means of bolts 15 of radiolucent material is a casing 16 of metal or plastics material, which casing houses the termination of a flexible drive 23 and an associated stainless steel gear 17.
  • the gear 17 drives further gears 18, 19, both mounted for rotation on the drill head 11.

  • the remote end (not shown) of the flexible drive 23 is fitted to a standard orthopaedic power drill (also not shown) and rotates the gear 17.
  • Drive is transmitted through gears 18 and 19 to the drill bit 20 which accordingly rotates to carry out the drilling operation.
  • the rings 21, 22 are of equal diameter and are both concentric with the gear 19.
  • the ring 21 is mounted in the top surface of drill head 11; the ring 22 (which is not visible in Figure 2) in the bottom surface.
  • the rings do not necessarily need to be mounted exactly as described: in order to parallax the images on the screen, it is only necessary that they be mounted in such a way that they are spaced in the axial direction of the drill bit.
  • the drill head 11 takes the form of a two-part casing of radiolucent material.
  • the two parts 24, 25 of the casing are joined at a dividing line 26 by bolts 27 and are shaped to provide seatings for four bearings 28, two each for the gears 18 and 19.
  • the bearings for gear 18 are preferably of radiolucent material to provide a clear radiolucent margin around the rings 21, 22 to aid alignment. Examples of suitable materials are acetal, nylon or Torlon. Similar materials may also be used for the bearings of gear 19, but an option here exists for machined metallic bearings which will perhaps better withstand the axial thrust from the drill bit.
  • the interior of the casing is hollow to allow the gears 18, 19 to be mounted in the interior.
  • the gear 19 is equipped with a central through-bore in which the drill bit 20 is fitted.
  • Slots 29 are provided in the bore to receive respective lugs 30 forming part of the drill bit - see below.
  • the slots may be shaped, for example bayonet-fashion or spiral to engage more easily, and to allow the drill bit to be securely locked in position when drilling, but readily removable for cleaning and/or replacement.
  • the casing 16 has a bore 31 in which is fitted the outer (fixed) end of the flexible drive 23. The end is attached by means of a grub screw 32.
  • the inner (rotating) part of the flexible drive terminates in a coupling 33 which transfers the drive to a shaft 34 mounted in bearings 35 and carrying the gear 17.
  • the bearings 35 need to be strong enough to counter any "toggle" action imparted by the drive shaft.
  • An example would be machined metallic bushes sized to be a press fit in the casing 16.
  • Other types of self- lubricating bearing material may be used with the added security that they will be less prone to radiation damage due to the fact that they are enclosed in the casing 16 which may provide a measure of shielding.
  • the gear 17 is rotatably attached to the shaft 34 by a transverse pin 36.
  • the construction of the drill bit will now be described in more detail with reference to Figures 6 and 7.
  • the drill bit is essentially in two parts: a wider upper part 37 of stainless steel which locates in the gear 19 and a narrower lower part 38 of stainless steel which carries the cutter itself.
  • the - upper part 37 carries the aforementioned lugs 30.
  • the cutter takes the form of a small plate 41 of hard ° material such as tungsten carbide having V-shaped cutting edges 42.
  • the thickness of the cutter plate 41 is such as to not restrict too greatly the view down the hollow interior of the drill bit, which is necessary when aligning the instrument.
  • the lower part 38 of the drill bit will be replaceable, and there will be made available a selection of different sizes, as required.
  • a typical minimum exterior diameter for the lower part would be 3 mm.
  • Figures 8 to 11 show two further versions of the drill bit.
  • the spacing collar is somewhat lengthened, and is made of radiolucent material such as acetal or 0 polysulphone. Other details are the same.
  • the wider upper portion 37 takes the form of a thick-walled tube of radiolucent material, for example acetal or polysulphone, into the lower part of which the 5 stainless steel lower part is fitted. Other details are the same.
  • the collar 39 may be replaced by an adaptor to enable commercially-available drills and Kirschner wires to be used. However, unless the adaptor is itself made from radiolucent material this would mean that reliance would have to be placed on the less precise alignment using the parallax rings 21, 22.
  • Figure 12 illustrates a tool which is used to initially locate the drill bit 20 in preparation for the drilling operation.
  • the tool comprises a T- handle 43 to which is attached a hollow cylindrical section 44 having an interior diameter such as to allow a loose fit with the upper part 37 of the drill bit 20.
  • Diametrically opposite slots 45 are formed in the wall of the section 44 to form a bayonet locking device for lugs 30 on the drill bit.
  • An 0- ring 46 of resilient material is provided on the interior wall of section 44 to firmly but resiliently hold the drill bit 20.
  • FIGS 15 and 16 illustrate an alternative embodiment of the drilling apparatus using just a single gear, reference 47, on the drill head 11.
  • the gear 47 is equipped with a stainless steel insert 48 having formed a central bore in which is pressed a cylindrical stainless steel drive insert 49, the hollow interior of which locates the drill bit 20. Location of the drill bit in this case is by engagement of the lugs 30 in cooperating spiral slots 51 formed in the drive insert 49.
  • the inserts 48 and 49 may be formed integrally as a single unit.
  • the gear 47 meshes directly with the gear 17 and thus eliminates the need for a third gear.
  • the gear 17 may be a 50 tooth gear made of delrin and the gear 47 a 100 tooth gear made of delrin with a stainless steel insert 48/49. Locating pins 50 extending between the parts 24 and 25 of the casing ensure accurate location of the two parts with respect to one another during assembly.
  • Figure 16 shows a slightly modified drill bit, in which a grub screw 40 is used to replaceably fix the lower part 38 to the upper part 37 via the collar 39.
  • the collar may be of stainless steel, acetal or polysulphone.
  • the handle is now removed, and replaced by the drive unit such as that of Figure 2.
  • the surgeon next grips the drive unit by the handles 14 and aligns the drill bit by obtaining on the screen of monitor 7 concentric images of the rings 21, 22.
  • Final adjustment for accuracy can be made by viewing the images of the interior of the hollow drill - any deviation from correct alignment will cause distortion in the circular image of the drill interior on the screen. Serious misalignment will cause the image of the drill centre to disappear altogether.
  • the image of the correctly aligned drilling apparatus on the television monitor 7 is illustrated in Figure 14.
  • the image of the correctly aligned drill head 11 as seen on the screen comprises a central circular light portion, represen ⁇ ting the hollow drill interior, surrounded by an annular dark portion representing the upper part and collar of the drill bit 20, followed by the gear 19/insert 48 which in turn is surrounded by a generally light area representing those radiolucent parts of the drill head 11, and including gear 18 in the embodiment of Figure 2, immediately surrounding the gear 19/insert 48.
  • gear 18, like casing parts 24 and 25 is made of radiolucent material.
  • the coincident images of the rings 21/22 represented as a dark ring contrasting with the light image in this area.
  • the drilling operation commences by switching on the motor (not shown) at the remote end of the flexible drive 23.
  • This operation is preferably carried out by another person under the instruction of the surgeon, and when the surgeon is satisfied that alignment is correct.
  • Drive from the motor is transmitted through the flexible drive 23 and, via gears 17, 18 and 19, or 17 and 47, to the drill bit 20.
  • Alignment can be checked from time to time during the drilling operation by stopping the drill and taking further radiographs.
  • the use of the flexible drive shaft 23 enables the apparatus to be used with any standard drill, keeps down the weight of the unit and, in association with handles 14, keeps the operator and the surgeon clear of the X-ray beam.

Abstract

L'appareil est destiné plus particulièrement au perçage précis d'os avant la mise en place de vis en croix dans des systèmes de fixation intramédulaire. L'appareillage comprend une commande flexible (23) dont l'extrémité éloignée est connectée à un moteur d'entraînement (non illustré). La commande (23) possède un engrenage (17) qui à son tour fait tourner des engrenages (18 et 19), montés sur une tête de perçage (11) réalisée dans un matériau transparent au rayonnement. La tête de perçage (11) est équipée de poignées (14) à l'aide desquelles le chirurgien peut vérifier l'opération de perçage. L'engrenage (18) est fait d'un matériau transparent au rayonnement, mais l'engrenange (19) est réalisé en acier inoxydable, et porte un foret de perçage (20). Une paire d'anneaux (21, 22) situés sur le même axe que le foret de perçage (20) et faits dans un matériau dense au rayonnement, sont fixés respectivement sur la surface la plus élevée et sur la surface la plus basse de la tête de perçage (11) afin d'être espacés de manière axiale. Cette disposition permet d'utiliser une méthode parallaxe pour aligner les rayons X du foret de perçage. On peut effectuer un alignement précis et final en regardant dans l'intérieur transparent au rayonnement du foret lui-même. Est également décrite une version comprenant deux engrenages.
