Abstract

The invention relates to a process for producing a metal socket (4) which can be implanted directly in the pelvis of a patient and forms part of a hip prosthesis, with a permitted socket deformation resulting from the elasticity of the pelvis in the loaded state. To enable asymmetric deformations of the metal socket to be compensated for by the elasticity of the pelvis in the loaded state, the invention proposes that the metal socket (4) be provided with a thick-walled, porous outer coating (5), the rigidity of which is set in such a way that the layer collapses in the loaded state if a stress which matches the permitted socket deformation is exceeded.

Schaft 1 und Metallpfanne 4 sind mit dem Körper durch Einwachsen in den Oberschenkelbzw. Beckenknochen verbunden und sind Träger für den Kugelkopf 2 bzw. Pfanneneinsatz 3. Der Kugelkopf 2 ist in der Kalotte des Pfanneneinsatzes 3 drehbar gelagert - Freiheitsgrad: 1 (siehe Figur 1).The market has a variety of prosthetic systems for the replacement of the natural hip joint. These usually consist of a shaft 1 coupled to a ball head 2 and a metal pan 4 coupled with a pan insert 3. Shank 1 and metal pan 4 are connected to the body by ingrowth in the Oberschenkelbzw. The ball head 2 is rotatably mounted in the cup of the cup insert 3 - degree of freedom: 1 (see Figure 1).

Metallpfannen werden im Lauf der Operation zur primären Fixierung durch verschiedene Techniken mit dem Beckenknochen gekoppelt. Eine verbreitete Fixierungsart ist das Klemmen der Metallpfanne mittels Pressfit. Dies stellt eine Form der Kopplung dar, welche im technischen Sinn den Übermaßverbindungen zuzuordnen ist, d.h. die Außengeometrie der Metallpfanne ist größer als die vom Arzt durch Ausfräsen des Acetabulums geschaffene Pfannenaufnahme. Die so nach dem Einbringen der Pfanne vom Beckenknochen auf die Pfanne wirkenden Normalkräfte und infolgedessen Reibkräfte stellen die primäre Verankerung der Metallpfanne sicher.Metal pans are coupled to the pelvic bone by various techniques during the primary fixation operation. A common type of fixation is the clamping of the metal cup by means of pressfit. This represents a form of coupling which in the technical sense is attributable to the oversize connections, i. the external geometry of the metal cup is greater than the cup holder created by the doctor by milling out the acetabulum. The thus acting after the introduction of the pan from the pelvic bone on the pan normal forces and consequently frictional forces ensure the primary anchoring of the metal pan.

Aufgrund der inhomogenen Eigenschaften des Beckenknochens erfolgt in der Regel eine asymmetrische Belastung der Metallpfanne in der Pressfit-Situation, welche eine asymmetrische Verformung der Metallpfanne zur Folge haben kann. Dies ist prinzipiell unerwünscht, da die asymmetrische Verformung der Metallpfanne das Einbringen der Pfanneneinsätze erschwert bzw. im weiteren Verlauf zur asymmetrischen Belastung und Verformung der Pfanneneinsätze führen kann. Mögliche weitere Auswirkungen sind dann Beschädigungen des Pfanneneinsatzes und/oder Ein- schränkung der Funktion der Gleitpaarung durch lokale Verringerung des Kalottendurchmessers des Pfanneneinsatzes.Due to the inhomogeneous properties of the pelvic bone, asymmetric loading of the metal cup in the press fit situation usually occurs, which can result in asymmetric deformation of the metal cup. This is in principle undesirable because the asymmetric deformation of the metal pan complicates the introduction of the cup inserts or can lead to asymmetric loading and deformation of the cup inserts in the further course. Possible further effects are then damage to the socket insert and / or limitation of the function of the sliding mating by local reduction of the calotte diameter of the socket insert.

Weiterhin kann die Deformation der Pfanne zu einer erhöhten Gefahr der Ausbildung von Stripe-Wear führen, was eine mögliche Ursache für das Auftreten des Quietschphänomens darstellt.Furthermore, the deformation of the pan can lead to an increased risk of the formation of stripe-wear, which is a possible cause of the occurrence of the squeaking phenomenon.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 so zu verbessern, dass asymmetrische Verformungen der Metallpfanne durch die Elastizität des Beckenknochens im Belastungszustand kompensiert werden. Ferner soll eine Metallpfanne angegeben werden, welche nach diesem Verfahren hergestellt ist.The invention has for its object to improve a method according to the preamble of claim 1 so that asymmetric deformations of the metal pan are compensated by the elasticity of the pelvic bone in the load state. Furthermore, a metal pan is to be specified, which is produced by this method.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass die Metallpfanne mit einer dickwandigen, porösen Außenbeschichtung versehen wird, deren Steifigkeit so eingestellt wird, dass die Schicht im Belastungszustand kollabiert, wenn eine der erlaubten Pfannendeformation entsprechende Spannung überschritten wird. Hierdurch werden asymmetrische Verformungen der Metallpfanne durch die Elastizität des Beckenknochens im Belastungszustand kompensiert. Unter Kollabieren wird das Zusammenfallen oder das Brechen bzw. Einbrechen der porösen Außenbeschichtung verstanden. Dieses Kollabieren erfolgt an den Stellen der porösen Außenbeschichtung, an denen die erlaubte entsprechende Spannung überschritten wird. Unter Pfanne wird in dieser Beschreibung immer die Metallpfanne verstanden. Eine Pfannendeformation bedeutet daher die Deformation der Metallpfanne.According to the invention this object is achieved in that the metal pan is provided with a thick-walled, porous outer coating whose stiffness is adjusted so that the layer collapses in the load state when a voltage corresponding to the permitted pan deformation is exceeded. As a result, asymmetrical deformations of the metal cup are compensated by the elasticity of the pelvic bone in the load state. Collapse is understood to mean the collapse or breakage of the porous outer coating. This collapse takes place at the points of the porous outer coating, at which the permitted corresponding voltage is exceeded. Under pan is always understood in this description, the metal pan. A pan deformation therefore means the deformation of the metal pan.

Das Kollabieren kann durch zwei Mechanismen erreicht werden, welche nachfolgend vorgestellt werden. Nach einer ersten erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltung wird die poröse Außenbe- schichtung mit einer geschlossenporigen Struktur realisiert, die während des Einbringens der Metallpfanne in den Beckenknochen bei Überschreiten der entsprechenden Spannung kollabiert. Die Bruchstücke verbleiben aber innerhalb der Struk- tur, so dass kein entzündliches Risiko besteht.The collapse can be achieved by two mechanisms, which are presented below. According to a first embodiment of the invention, the porous outer coating is realized with a closed-pore structure, which collapses when the metal pan is inserted into the pelvic bone when the corresponding tension is exceeded. However, the fragments remain within the structure so that there is no inflammatory risk.

Nach einer zweiten erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltung wird die poröse Außenbe- schichtung mit einer offenporigen Struktur realisiert, die während des Einbringens der Metallpfanne in den Beckenknochen bei Überschreiten der entsprechenden Spannung kollabiert. Dieses Kollabieren ist als plastische Deformation zu verstehen. Es entstehen keine freien Bruchstücke. Der Beckenknochen kann in die verbleibenden Poren des biokompatiblen Materials einwachsen.According to a second embodiment of the invention, the porous outer coating is realized with an open-pore structure, which collapses during the introduction of the metal pan in the pelvic bone when the corresponding voltage is exceeded. This collapse is to be understood as a plastic deformation. There are no free fragments. The pelvic bone can grow into the remaining pores of the biocompatible material.

Die poröse Außenbeschichtung kann mit Bereichen mit einer geschlossenporigen und mit Bereichen mit einer offenporigen Struktur realisiert werden.The porous outer coating can be realized with areas with a closed-pore structure and with areas with an open-pore structure.

Die Außenbeschichtung wird in einer erfinderischen Ausgestaltung mit einer Dicke von mindestens 0,1 mm, bevorzugt mit einer Dicke von mindestens 0,5 mm hergestellt.The outer coating is produced in an inventive embodiment with a thickness of at least 0.1 mm, preferably with a thickness of at least 0.5 mm.

Eine erfindungsgemäße Metallpfanne zur direkten Implantation in den Beckenknochen eines Patienten, als Teil einer Hüftgelenkprothese, hergestellt insbesondere mit dem beschriebenen Verfahren, ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Metall- pfanne eine dickwandige, poröse Außenbeschichtung aufweist, die eine geschlossenporige und/oder offenporige Struktur aufweist. Hierdurch kann die Metallpfanne asymmetrische Verformungen durch die Elastizität des Beckenknochens im Belastungszustand kompensieren.A metal cup according to the invention for direct implantation into the pelvic bone of a patient, as part of a hip joint prosthesis, produced in particular by the method described, is characterized in that the metal cup has a thick-walled, porous outer coating which has a closed-pore and / or open-pore structure. As a result, the metal pan can compensate for asymmetrical deformations due to the elasticity of the pelvic bone in the loaded state.
