Definitions
- the present invention relates to an apparatus capable of measuring the gap and the balance between the femur and the tibia in execution of a total knee replacement, and more particularly, to an apparatus capable of measuring with ease and in real time the gap and the balance under load.
- Patent Citation 1 discloses an apparatus that has a ratchet type screw jack made up of a jack base portion and a jack movable portion, and fixes an engaging plate extending long from the jack base portion at the tibia by nails while placing a swingable supporting plate similarly extending long from the jack movable portion below the femur, uses a torque wrench to lift the supporting plate with the jack function and push up the lower surface of the femur.
- the jack is opened with the torque wrench until the torque reaches a predetermined value, and after lifting up the supporting plate (i.e., the lower surface of the femur) to a certain height position, the amount of swing of an arm extended towards the jack from the supporting plate is read from an angle scale provided on the jack, giving the balance between the femur and the tibia.
- Patent Citation 2 discloses an apparatus including a lower member, a swingable upper member, a coil spring disposed between the upper and lower members, and an eccentric shaft for locking the upper and lower members at the closest position to each other, a scale serving both as a gap indicator and an angular indicator being provided on the lower member and a pointer for pointing at the scale being provided on the upper member.
- adjustment and checking of the ligament balance can be achieved by setting the upper and lower members locked at the closest position to each other between the femur and the tibia, and vertically expanding the upper and lower members by unlocking them, and reading the scale (the lower member) pointed at by the pointer (the upper member).
- Patent Citation 1 sets the gap and reads the angle at that point rather than measuring the gap, due to the construction employing the jack, and differs in the required application and function.
- the left-right asymmetry requires left and right apparatuses to be separately prepared, generating concerns about cost.
- the construction in which the scale is read at the jack remote from the measuring target makes accurate measurements fairly difficult.
- the construction which is difficult to make compact and lightweight, generates concerns about burden on the operator (the surgeon or the like) and the subject (the patient).
- measurements may be performed sequentially at various desired angles within the range from flexion to extension of the knee joint, and in such a case, the problems arises of having to repeat a cycle of opening the jack, measuring, and closing the jack for every measurement, which is a cumbersome procedure.
- the Ligament Tensor may be the same as the present invention in that it is inserted between the femur and the tibia to move apart the two, but, it does not have its own measuring functions and is used in combination with a navigation system.

- An eighth aspect of the invention is characterized in that, in the seventh aspect, the first end portion is bifurcated and has a rounded contacting portion for contacting the top plate, and the second end portion is formed into a straight flat plate having a cross-section complementary to a cross-section of the opening.
- a ninth aspect of the invention is characterized by a shim to be attached to a balancer according to any one of the first to sixth aspects, the shim having a predetermined thickness.
- a tenth aspect of the invention is characterized in that, in the ninth aspect, a top surface of the shim is attached to an under surface of the base plate through a male-female type fitting portion.
- An eleventh aspect of the invention is characterized in that, in the ninth aspect, an under surface of the shim is attached to a top surface of a tilt plate through a male-female type fitting portion.

- a measuring apparatus to be inserted between the femur and the tibia in a total knee replacement operation and essentially includes a base plate 3 that is to be located on the tibia side, a top plate 5 that is to be located on the femur side, a slider 7 coupled to the top plate 5, and a pair of coil springs (resilient members) 9 disposed between the base plate 3 and the top plate 5 to bias them to move apart from each other.
- the balancer 1 of the present embodiment is also accompanied by a handle 11 (FIG. 16) for reliably grasping the balancer 1 for the above-mentioned insertion, a shim 13 (FIG. 19) for making it possible to deal with small and large sizes of the gap between the femur and the tibia, and a tilt plate 15 (FIG. 23) for making it possible to deal with the inclination in the anterior posterior direction of the above-mentioned gaps.
- These components may be made of, for example, suitably heat-treated, precipitation hardened stainless steel (concretely, e.g., SUS 630) which has an excellent balance of hardness and corrosion resistance.
- the base plate 3 has a substantially kidney shape or a substantially broad-bean shape when viewed from above and preferably has a size nearly the same as that of the proximal end surface of the tibia.

This allows more stable measurement.
- the bottom surface (under surface) of the base plate 3 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 35 (four in the illustrated configuration) for positioning and connecting the shim 13 and the tilt plate 15, which will be described later.

- the left and right sides of the front surface of the top plate 5 are each provided with a single pointing mark or nick 51 (51a , 51b) (hereinafter referred to as an angular pointer) for pointing at an angular scale (which will be described later) on the slider 7.
- a single pointing mark or nick 51 51a , 51b
- an angular pointer for pointing at an angular scale (which will be described later) on the slider 7.
- the slider 7 includes a rectangular thick plate portion 59, which has at its center the central opening 57 that penetrates in the anterior posterior direction (Y direction), and thin plate portions 61 at both left and right sides, which extend horizontally outwards from both sides of the thick plate portion 59 and have edges (outer boundary) formed by an arc whose center is the central opening 57.
- the central opening 57 of the slider 7 is, as described previously, fitted rotatably relative to the shaft 43 that projects from the front end surface of the top plate 5.
- the thick plate portion 59 has opposing vertical surfaces on both sides in the horizontal direction, and each vertical surface slidably engages, as described above, with the corresponding vertical surface of the upstanding portions 23a and 23b of the base plate 3.
- each thin plate portion 61 is provided, along its outer edge, with an angular scale 65 (in the drawing, scale marks or nicks at 1 degree intervals) and numerical characters for the scale (in the drawing, +5 and -5).
- the vertically center (horizontal position) scale mark 65n in each of the left and right angular scales 65a and 65b is formed thicker and longer than others.
- This scale mark 65n forms a gap pointer (65n) for pointing at the gap scale 25 on the upstanding portion 23 of the base plate 3.
- the coil springs 9 are used. However, springs, rubbers, or the like of other forms may be used provided that they can bias the base plate 3 and the top plate 5 to move apart (to be spaced apart) relative to each other.
- the handle 11 is a tool for grasping the balancer 1 to insert it between the femur and the tibia, and pinches the base plate 3 and the top plate 5 against the biasing force of the coil springs 9, reducing the overall thickness to achieve easy insertion.
- the handle 11 has a construction such that two substantially S-like shape bar members 71, 73 are crossed and connected at a crossed section by means of a pin 75.
- the front side of one of the bar members 71 is bifurcated so that the left and right can be pressed in a well-balanced manner when depressing the top surface of the top plate 5 downwards, and the front end portion 71a (pressing portion or contacting portion) is rounded to be able to make point or line contact for minimizing the generation of unnecessary component forces during the pressing.
- the front end side of the other bar member 73 is provided with a straight flat plate portion 73a having a complementary and similar cross-section.
- the illustrated shim 13 has a thickness of 2.5 mm.

- the under surface of the shim 13 is provided with three protrusions 85 for attachment of the tilt plate 15.
- the top surface of the shim 13 is provided with a C-like shape protruding portion 89.
- This protruding portion 89 is constructed to enter within the base plate, when the shim 13 is attached to the under surface of the base plate 3, through an opening 37 (FIG. 7) formed in the base plate under surface so as to communicate with the horizontally elongated hole 33 and substantially align with the horizontally elongated hole 33.
- the illustrated tilt plate 15 has a top surface forming an attachment surface for the base plate 3 or the shim 13 (the illustrated shim has a thickness of 5 mm), and has a thinner front side, a thicker rear side, and an inclination of 5 degrees.
- the tilt plate may have a different inclination angle (e.g., 10 degrees, 15 degrees or the like).
- the top surface (attachment surface) of the tilt plate is provided with four fitting holes 91, into which the four protrusions 35 protruding from the base plate under surface can fit for the connection with the base plate 3, and also provided with three fitting holes 93 into which the three protrusions 85 projecting from the shim under surface can fit for the connection with the shim 13.
- these seven protrusions 35, 85 may have the same outer diameter
- the seven fitting holes 91, 93 may have the same inner diameter.
- the flat plate portion 73a of the handle 11 Prior to insertion of the balancer 1 between the femur and the tibia, the flat plate portion 73a of the handle 11 is first inserted into the horizontally elongated opening 33 of the guide post 29 of the base plate 3 and the top surface of the top plate 5 is depressed by the other front end portions 71a of the handle 11 to minimize the overall thickness of the balancer.
- the base plate 3 and the top plate 5 are located to be closest to each other.
- the construction which enables the balancer 1 to be grasped in such a reduced thickness, allows for very easy insertion of the balancer 1 into the gap between the femur and the tibia.
- the novel interconnecting structure of the protruding portion 89 of the shim 13, the horizontally elongated opening 33 of the base plate 3, and the flat plate portion 73a of the handle 11 can reliably prevent the falling of the shim 13.
- the handle 11 can grasp the balancer 1 with the usual opening angle, which may considerably improve work efficiency and performance.
- the slider 7 and the shaft 47 move translationally upwards with respect to the base plate 3 while the top plate 5 moves upwards together with the slider 7 and the shaft, but swingably around the shaft 47.
- the gap (dimension or distance) between the tibia and the femur can be visually confirmed (measured) with ease from the gap scale 25 (25a, 25b) of the base plate 3 (the upstanding portion 23) and the gap pointer 65n of the slider 7 pointing at the gap scale.
- the inclination or balance of the femur against the tibia can be visually confirmed (measured) with ease from the angular scale 65 (65a, 65b) of the slider 7 and the angular pointer (pointing mark) 51 (51a, 51b) of the top plate 5 pointing at the angular pointer.
- an apparatus configuration corresponding to the opening and inclining conditions between the tibia and the femur can be achieved instantly, and the balancer can be set very simply and easily between the tibia and the femur and, in addition, real time measurement of the dimension and inclination (balance) between the two bones can be performed at the moment the balancer is set.
- the whole balancer can be constructed very compact and lightweight, allowing considerably improved operability and keeping damage to the subject to a minimum.
- the balancer is made up of a left-right symmetrical structure, and hence, when it is set between the femur and the tibia, measurements can be made from the combination of the scale and pointer on one side even if the combination of the scale and pointer on the other side cannot be visually confirmed due to an obstacle on that side. That is, suitable measuring operation can be realized. This allows measurements with the patella returned to its original position, resulting in reproduction of a situation closer to that of an actual knee joint.
- FIG. 27 shows the balancer 1 of the present embodiment actually set between the femur F and the tibia T.
- the femur F and the tibia T are in an extended condition, and the (unillustrated) patella is in its original location (non-everted position).
- the balancer 1 of the present embodiment proper and quick measurement is possible for the knee (the femur and the tibia) that has no patella eversion and is functionally and physiologically in its natural conditions.
- a similar measurement is possible for a knee (the femur and the tibia) in a flexed condition.
- the present invention itself, however, is not limited to constructing balancers in a left-right symmetrical structure.
- the balancer may be constructed in a left-right asymmetrical structure.
- the required measurements are possible provided that the scale and pointer combination is provided on either of left and right sides of the balancer.
