Description

【発明の詳細な説明】 〔産業上の利用分野〕 本発明は、人体に適用する人工関節に関するものである
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an artificial joint applied to the human body.

A typical total replacement artificial joint that has been used in the past consists of a socket D and a stem E, which are fixed to the hip bone A and femur B with bone cement C, as shown in Figure 4.
Among these, the stem E is made of metal such as stainless steel, cobalt chromium alloy, titanium alloy, etc., and the socket D is most often made of ultra-high molecular polyethylene.

However, the biggest drawback of the above-mentioned artificial joint is that if it continues to be implanted in the body for a long period of time, for example, 10 to 20 years, the fixation of the stem E and the socket L-D will be impaired. (This is referred to in the orthopedic field as artificial joint loosening.) - Once the artificial joint loses its stability, it begins to make minute movements (micro-movements), causing pain and requiring replacement of the artificial joint. The situation becomes necessary. There are various possible causes for this loss of fixation, including in-vivo deterioration of the bone cement C, incompatibility of the shape of the stem E and socket (D), infection, and excessive loading. Another major factor is that the stress distribution near the joints changes significantly due to the placement of artificial objects inside the joints, making it impossible to fully utilize the bone glue modeling function.

After an artificial hip joint has been implanted, the femur has a metal stem in the center that is difficult to deform, and around it is a cylindrical bone and bone cement that are extremely deformable compared to metal. Therefore, when a load is applied, that is, when standing or walking, the amount of deformation of the bone and bone cement is greater than the amount of deformation of the metal, and shearing force is generated at each interface, causing loosening.

In addition, when the applied load is impactful, that is, when jumping or running, a highly rigid artificial hip joint has poor ability to absorb impact energy, so This results in an impact that promotes degeneration of the bone and bone cement.

In order to further alleviate the two problems of shear stress and impact force transmission that occur at the interface between the stem and cement, we have gradually changed the elastic modulus, have shock absorption ability, and can be used in vivo. This problem is solved by laminating a sleeve made of titanium fiber mesh, etc., which is less susceptible to deterioration, around the outer periphery of the stem core material.

In addition, the laminated sleeve 3 is composed of a plurality of layers of sleeves,
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, a three-layer case is illustrated.
It has sleeve layers 3a, 3b, 3C from the inside. These laminated sleeves 3 are made of meshes made of titanium fibers, so they have appropriate voids and are highly elastic, but these can be determined by appropriately selecting the manufacturing conditions of the meshes, the thickness of the fibers, etc. It is possible to change the elastic modulus by Utilizing this, the elastic modulus of the fiber mesh is evenly distributed in the intermediate region between the elastic modulus of the stem core material 2 and the elastic modulus of bone (cortical bone), and the
The elastic modulus is set so that it gradually changes from bone to bone.

That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the elastic modulus is gradually decreased from the stem core material 2 having a large elastic modulus toward the outer periphery from sleeve layer 3a to sleeve layer 3b to sleeve N3c, and as it approaches the bone, the change in the elastic modulus is Since the combination is gentle, it is possible to suppress the generation of shear stress.

Note that in this embodiment, the sleeve layer 3 is different from the stem core material 2.
Although we have given an example in which three layers, a, 3b, and 3C, are stacked, it is not limited to this, and depending on the characteristics of the material, it may be possible to use just one layer. Good too.

In addition, although the absorption of impact force due to the bending of dense metal is negligible, the fJ absorbs impact force by being made of a material with porous voids like the sleeve of this example.
It can also function as an i'J material. As a result, propagation of excessive impact force to the bone tissue can be suppressed. Although organic materials can also absorb impact forces,
Materials deteriorate under the harsh environment of living organisms, and it is extremely difficult for their properties to remain constant over a long period of time.In contrast, for example, the titanium fiber mesh used in the structure of the present invention is made of titanium itself. is a material that does not easily deteriorate, and has a structure that incorporates it,
It can approach the same lifespan as dense metal materials.

Furthermore, for artificial joints, compatibility with bone tissue and long-term stability of fixation force are important. Among these, biocompatibility is said to be highest in the order of ceramic materials > organic materials > metal materials. Fixation strength is greatly influenced not only by differences in materials but also by the design and surface structure of the implant. Even though they are made of the same metal material, implants that have a porous layer on the surface and allow bone to grow in three dimensions, especially into the interior, are superior in terms of fixation power.

In addition, by coating the surface of the laminated sleeve 3 with a substance that has osteoinductive and osteoconductive properties, such as hydroxyapatite, the fixation of the implant to the bone is ensured more quickly and stably for a long period of time. can do.

Figure 1 above shows an example of application as an artificial hip joint.
It is not limited to this, but it can also be applied to other parts, such as the tibial member S of an artificial knee joint, which consists of a femoral member T attached to the femur and a tibial member S inserted into the tibia, as shown in FIG.
More stable fixation can be achieved over a long period of time.
