A patient-specific trial repositioning block (1") is proposed which extends the known operating technique using patient-specific cutting blocks by virtue of the fact that the soft-tissue situation or ligament tension conditions can be checked and corrected intraoperatively. The novel trial repositioning block (1") allows a surgical intervention to be performed with an accuracy and precision that were hitherto available, by virtue of a patient-specific cutting block, only in bone-referenced operating techniques. The present invention corresponds to both applied philosophies: "tibia first" and "femur first". In the trial repositioning block (1"), the tibia structure and femur structure are taken into account, and the block is accordingly dimensioned such that, during use thereof in the operation, it brings the femur to lie in the planned "corrected" end position on the tibia. Trial repositioning can thus already be performed after the sectioning of the tibia, and the operator, after the sectioning of the tibia, can already have a very accurate picture of the end result of the operation, which was not hitherto possible.
Specific patient Proberepositionsblock
TECHNICAL ES GEBI ET
The present Erfindu ng relates to the field of arthroplasty, especially total knee arthroplasty. It relates to a sample-Repositionsblock according to claim 1, and a chiru rgisches process according to claim 14 u mfassend removing nd replace diseased parts of the knee joint, in particular of the distal end of a Femu rs with a Femu rI mplantat nd a manufac ngsverfahren according to claim 1 5th
Current I nstru elements u nd surgical techniques fo r I Implantation of a knee endoprosthesis are all constructed on the same principle, that is, the prosthesis is positioned anatomically possible based on bony landmarks.
This happens you rch positioning of cut blocks, respectively. Sägefü hru hang you rch different I nstru elements that take into account the band conditions in the knees or not.
You rch this section blocks the various bone cuts filled di leads a nd be precisely resected with an oscillating saw. There are two GRU ndsätzlich philosophies in knee arthroplasty: i) "r Femu first", which means knochenreferenziert or ii) "Tibia first", the weichteilreferenziert means. Already in EP 0322363 Al describes that the realization of the right mechanical axis hang one of the main Voraussetzu fo r a long life of a knee prosthesis without Lockeru ng a nd is pain. It does not matter nu r depends on the right knee static structure (alignment) to produce but it is also important that the balanced voltag ng knee ligament, unless they are maintained or have the correct soft tissue tension. (FC Ewald: Biomechanical Indications for Implant Selection III: Knee Role of ligament and Alignment, American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, 54th Annual Meeting, San Francisco, January 22 -27, 1987. Instructural Course Number 323rd).
Knee prostheses commonly used today consist of a primary total femur and attached to the tibial component, which are not connected to each other in contrast to the hinge prosthesis by artificial mechanical aids. As in the natural knee joint, the flexible joint between the two components by ligaments and muscles is made as far as these are retained during knee arthroplasty, that is, during the resection and subsequent implantation of the prosthesis.
Before the prosthetic components may be mounted on the femur and the tibia by clamping, keying and / or bone cement, the femur and tibia with the aid of bone saws and other tools must be brought into the form matching the prosthesis. The offered generally by the manufacturers of the knee prosthesis instruments used to serve primarily to make the corresponding bone cuts required for this purpose on the femur and the tibia, called osteotomies with the necessary accuracy.
It is an essential requirement that the sliding against each other in the bending and stretching of the knee components of the knee prosthesis always mutually have the anatomically correct position, ie that the mechanical leg axis must not deviate more than 3 ° varus or 3 ° valgus from the physiological leg axis and that a equilibration of the ligaments is achieved, which ensures good stability of the knee joint both in extension and in flexion. The aim is to obtain a well balanced each artificial joint (bending / stretching gap ratio and varus / valgus balance in flexion and extension), which in the HKA- (, knee, hip, ankle) axis, that is the mechanical axis of the leg correctly is aligned. Similarly, a full Strecku ng and the highest possible biegu ng of ku ARTIFICIAL knee joint to be made possible.
The known surgical techniques try to achieve this as follows: i) Femu r first (knochenreferenziert):
First, the Femu r is finished based on knöcherenen landmarks. Subsequently, the tibia is resected nd finished. Only during the trial reduction with the trial prostheses actual band conditions fo r the Operateu r / Chiru rgen seen.
It is possible in this surgical technique, but not the practice to measure the Celenk cleavage mass in biegu ng nd ng Strecku. But only after the distal section at Femu r. The Femu r-rotation with most systems on the basis of the posterior condyles Femu r refer- differenti- nd should be parallel to Epycondylarachse r or r so-called "Whiteside I ine". ii) first tibia (weichteilreferenziert):
The tibia is resected first, a nd then the cut blocks at Femu r are calculated using bony landmarks, but u nder Berücksichtigu ng the band positioned ratios (Femu r-rotation). This means that the final POsiTiON ng of Femu rprothe- se is not always the bony landmarks such. B. Epycondylarachse corresponds dafü r can be achieved but that it is implanted completely balanced.
The cut blocks are elements above about extra- or intramedu lläre Ausrichtinstru in both surgical techniques that are aligned based on bone landmarks positioned. Also, in the computer navigated surgical technique (CAS), the cutting blocks are aligned using the same bone landmarks. The advantage is that you ken the Landmar-, leg axes, etc. and the cut blocks visualized on the screen in front of him has. The cut blocks can now be provided with sensors which are captured by a camera, can be positioned without any additional I nstru elements.
Conclusion: In all techniques, the bony landmarks must be intraoperatively defined what you rch soft tissue is so difficult to m Partial nd from Chiru rgen a high degree of concentration, skills nd experi ng requires, as the duration of the operation as short as possible should be.
PATI ENTENSPEZI FISH SCH NITTBLÖCKE
For some time now offer nu n different manufacturers, patient-specific cutting blocks at. Of the knee to be treated, a computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging is imaging (MRI) prior to the operation made by receiving an accurate three-dimensional (3D) image to generate a nd to detect the leg axis. The 3D data is sent hersteiler to the prosthesis, which the prosthesis nd the corresponding interface blocks u can plan based on the exact 3D model of the damaged joint. The doctor can edit the finished Planu ng online and then spend his Zustimmu ng to r productio ng the cut blocks. It can also specify default parameters such as axis information, tibial slope, Femu r-rotation, etc.
Thereafter, it receives the cut blocks or pin blocks (without Sägeführu ng, nu r to r POsiTiON ng of pins) incl. 3D models of the proximal regions of the tibia and the distal end of nd Femu rs. The fact is that with the patient-specific cutting blocks, although far more precise thanks to the 3D model, but in principle the same as in the already described above non-specific techniques based on the bony landmarks, the prosthesis, respectively. the bone cuts planned a nd be carried ausgefü. The band ratios can not be considered in the planning. During surgery, the band conditions can only described above under "Femurfirst" technique to be considered.
a femur implant to be attached to the distal end of the femur in principle in the known techniques, respectively, it replaces the latter and a tibial implant comprising a base plate for attachment to the tibia and an articular surface, replaces the proximal end of the tibia. With a patella resurfacing the femoral patellar joint also can be supplied. For attachment of the femoral implant, the surgeon resected the distal end of the femur so that it is fit complementary to the interior surface of the femoral implant to include this positive fit. In the "femur-first" method of operation, the surgeon rezesiert then the proximal end of the opposite tibia with the so-called tibial cut to provide the surface for receiving the complementary base plate. The femoral implant and the tibial base plate are, for example, adhesives or fasteners to the attached to respective bone. the articular surface is attached to the side facing the femoral implant side of the tibial base plate. After the patella and the surrounding soft tissues, including ligaments, tendons and muscles, are arranged around the knee properly again, is the femoral implant able abzuwinkein on the joint surface in a manner that is as close to a natural knee movement.
Patient-specific cutting blocks are known for example from WO 2010/099142.
In the above-described patient-specific cutting blocks, it is not yet possible, the band conditions in stretching and / or bending or HKA-axis control of the distal femoral cut. Only a subsequent correction is possible and brings unnecessary bone loss and an extended operating time with them. SUMMARY OF THE MEMORANDUM ERFI
It is therefore an object of the Erfindu ng, a patient-specific Vorrichtu ng to ask to r Verfügu ng that there Eger bt simplest means the soft tissue nd to consider band conditions intraoperatively to reduce the duration of the operation and at the same time their quality a nd so ultimately extend the life of knee arthroplasty.
It is a further object of the Erfindu ng, you specify a method to guide a r rchfü knee arthroplasty, not having to least significant disadvantages of the known methods.
It is also an object of the Erfindu ng provide a method for manufac r ng of a patient-specific Proberepositionsblocks which does not have at least substantial disadvantages of the known methods.
These nd other objects are you rch the characteristics of the sample-Repositionsblocks according to claim 1 and the Repositionsverfahren solved according to claim fourteenth
The Solu described below ng respectively. Erfindu ng with the patient-specific trial Repositionsblock enriches the known surgical technique with patient-specific cutting blocks dadu rch that the soft tissues, respectively. Bandspannu ngsverhältnisse intraoperatively ü berprüft and can be corrected. It allows a chiru rgischen intervention in a Exactly accuracy nd accuracy so far in the knochenreferenzierten surgical technique was due to a patient-specific cutting block nu r r Verfügu ng. This Erfindu ng corresponds to two philosophies applied: "Tibia first" nd "r Femu first".
Descriptio ng in detail the patient-specific cutting blocks offer significant cost advantages. Bring up to 30 min. Time savings (1 minute OP = ca. CHF 80, sterilize 5 sieves = CH F less per wire 1 00.-) what the additional costs fo r a CT scan saves several times. The reduced surgery time but does not affect nu r positive effect on the cost of the operation from, but it also reduces very considerably the I nfektionsrisiko fo r the patient because the knee must be open much less long. Further advantages of the new erfindu ngsgemässen trial Repositionsblocks are that less I nstruments must be used in the operation nd dadu to rch of Schu lu ngsbedarf fo r doctors nd OP staff reduced.
The previously created CT scans or MRIs Eger ben in this operation method, even when arthritis-damaged knees highly accurate I Implantation for intact anatomical landmarks. Therefore, the patient-specific cutting blocks provide the most accurate and nbestritten POsiTiON ng knee endoprosthesis better than CAS nd all other previously customary in this operation a nd known techniques.
The patient risk is also reduced rch you the following advantages, respectively surgery success is increased:
- no opening of the I ntramedulärkanals needed a nd so u nder including a significantly reduced risk fo r a fat embolism
- reduced operating room time (since fewer steps and less massive intervention) nd u rch dadu a lower I nfektionsgefahr
- accurate Planu ng nd ng POsiTiON including genauester sizes PROVISIO ng the I mp- lantat Compnent
- possibility of the mechanical axis of the tibia nd Femu r conventionally (for example, with an alignment rod m) to control the following disadvantages of the known surgical techniques knochenreferenzierten with patient specific cutting blocks are avoided:
- No way to control the band conditions in stretching and / or bending of the distal femoral cut. Only a subsequent correction is possible, leading to a prolonged surgical time and unnecessary bone loss.
- Femurrotationskorrekturen are possible on conventional instruments only after the distal cut, which in turn extends the operating time.
- The surgeon looks after the tibial and distal femoral cut the actual tape tension conditions in extension. Only after positioning the anterior / posterior cutting block on the distal section of the band tension conditions in flexion can consider.
The patient specific sample Repositionsblock according to the present invention combines in accordance with preferred embodiments, in fact, the functionality of a Proberepo- sitions-, corrective and cutting block. He provides correction options before the first femoral. He ensures that the surgeon is the safest, most accurate, fastest and most cost effective method implantation of a knee endoprosthesis available.
By means of the new patient-specific is only hereinafter for simplicity sample Repositionsblock femoral Proberepositions-, corrective and cutting block, a trial reduction may be performed after the tibial cut. Thus the operator can already after the tibial cut to make a very accurate picture of the final result of the operation. This was previously not possible.
This is possible now by the fact that the outside dimensions of the inventive patient-specific sample-Repositionsblocks are precisely defined. This means that the tibial udn the Femu r-structure are in a block is calculated, which is dimensioned so that he r the Femu during use in the operation in the proposed "corrected" end position on the tibia brings to lie.
The planning of a knee endoprosthesis on the 3D model by CT scan nd of bony landmarks, u nbestritten the most accurate way to position an I mplantat. Nu r had the Operateu r in this precise but knochenreferenzierten method so far no I nformation regarding the band conditions before it (rschnitt distal Femu) the Femu r had worked.
The Rotationskorrektu r of Femu rs could also only after the distal Femu rschnitt rch by Augenmass you rotate the 4in one block are reached.
According to the present invention, it is possible nu n heck to ü precise planning on the 3D model after the first, also planned on the CT model, preferably by means of patient-specific tibial cutting block, resected tibial cut.
The Operateu r is the possibility the soft tissues, respectively. to control the Bandspannu ng a nd if necessary to fit before processing the Femu r. The Operateu r, if necessary, balance a nd make capsular release for For a tape around the joint. Also he may be a flexural nd Streckspaltmessu ng make a nd check the total leg axis. This is directly with the aid of the sample-Repositionsblocks, and possibly with H elp of spacers (gap gauge) or respectively with a standard knee Analyzer. Pressure sensors possible. The latter can be, according to preferred Ausfü HRU ngsformen in the trial according to the Repositionsblock Erfindu ng or integrate into suitable receiving areas of the sample according to further Repositionsblock Ausfü HRU ngsformen releasably secure. Just so, for example, different means of spacers inlay heights (part meniscus PE) are simulated and different Femurgrössen (bending gap too large or too small). If then, despite the release bony corrections to varus / valgus leg axis and or femoral rotation are necessary, these can be made directly with the new trial Repositionsblocks as this preferably a plurality of pairs of correction Pinbohrlöchern has that setting enable pins for corrected axes. These pin holes are arranged on the sample-Repositionsblock that they precisely defined alternative positions for pins of a potentially necessary for displacement of the "joint line" or a varus / valgus correction (for the distal femur cut) or for the rotational or for anterior / posterior (A / P) shift of the femoral component (reference holes for pins for fastening the 4inl -Schnittblocks) offer.
According to further preferred embodiments of the present invention comprises the Repositionsblock insertable inserts, by means of which the planned or predetermined discrete correction positions of the pin holes can be selected. According to other advantageous embodiments, the correction position of the pin-holes may be adjusted as needed on the correction operation.
The following is a brief overview of the Operations technique is given in accordance with the present invention:
- knee open, remove osteophytes
-Tibia resect with preferably patient-specific tibial cutting block for GT planning. May be less resected as security to the tibia. - Put apron on tibial cut, put on the distal portion of the block according to the invention on the femur, bring the knee in extension, perform stretching gap measure and check HKA axis
- flex knee, patient-specific sample-Repositionsblock to put the femur (dorsal block part), patella meshing and make bending gap measurement.
- If all is well - Drill> distal femoral cut, reference holes for four domestic cutting block, the tibia and femur finishing, trial reduction, implantation
Ko rre ktu rm ög I i ch ke ite n
Soft tissue and ligament release, dorsal release (femur)
If the soft tissue release is insufficient, the Korrekturpositonen can defining correction pin holes are used in order, for example, "Joint Line" postponements and varus / make valgus corrections, respectively, the holes for the pins for a conventional distal cutting block according to the desired to set correction.
The distal reference holes for the 4 in 1 block can in various rotational and a / p-positions are drilled through the block. Depending on the knee system, it is also possible to change the femoral size (anterior or posterior referenced reference holes).
Description of the cut blocks
The tibial cutting block remains (as offered by various manufacturers) unchanged
It is an essential feature of the present invention is that the sample-Repositionsblock is made patient-specific for the femur. Among patient-specific not only the specific Anpassu ng a proximal surface of the sample-Repositionsblocks is understood to the surface of the distal Femu rbereichs or minimum of significant landmarks within this range, but that the sample-Repositionsblock also in H inblick on the distal and posterior femu r-prosthesis and tibial structure is dimensioned precisely defined.
I nsbesondere the location and the position of the distal nd the dorsal side wall of the trial Repositionsblocks are predefined precisely in relation to the proximal surface of the sample-Repositionsblocks or minimum with respect to significant landmark reference ranges within this proximal surface.
The sample-Repositionsblock according to the present Erfindu ng defined by its distal side wall distal reference surface, which in the inserted state according Operationsplanu ng for the straight knee, that is in the extension state, preferably exactly on the tibial cut, respectively, comes to lie on the mudguard on the tibial cut. ngsformen according to further Ausfü HRU the distal side wall is weaker dimensioned so that the distal reference surface comes to lie on the tibial cut is not directly on the tibial cut, respectively, on the protective sheet, but on an additionally used spacer of known thickness.
Distal nd posterior to the block may have convex condyles, the medial and lateral well.
With its dorsal side wall of the sample-Repositionsblock defined according to the present Erfindu ng a dorsal reference surface, which in the inserted state according Operationsplanu ng when bent knee, that is in a state of flexion preferably exactly on the tibial cut, respectively, to lie on the apron on the tibial cut comes. Here, too, the wall thickness can be reduced wiederu m a nd a spacer of defined thickness can be used. I n relation to the distal nd dorsal surface of the sample-Repositionsblocks the proximal surface of the sample is patient-specific Repositionsblocks prepared. The distal nd define the dorsal reference surface of the associated side walls, measured from the respective sections from the distal, respectively, the dorsal Femu raufbau the Femu rkom- component, and the entire Tibiaaufbau.
The thickness of a protective sheet to protect the Tibiaschnittes m may be considered and will be deducted at the Dimensionieru ng of the sample-Repositionsblocks.
The distal reference surface is arranged such that it predetermines the Gelenkstellu ng in the stretched state.
Fo r skilled in the art based understood in the present teaching, that the reference surfaces need not be formed by the entire side wall but that the actual Ausdehnu ng of the planar reference surface may be limited to a smaller area in Schnittpu nkt the respective reference axis. I m extreme case may have a radius, the entire surface. However, working with a discrete planar reference surface is preferred.
The distal and the dorsal surface of the reference sample-Repositionsblocks define a common reference angle. According to preferred ngsformen Ausfü HRU this reference angle corresponds to the bending angle, the rachse of the anatomical Femu nd the anatomical axis of the tibia in the flexed state during the Beugespaltmessu ng is formed (0 ° / 90 °).
A sample-Repositonsblock to m defining at least one cutting plane on a Femu r at a total n ie-Arth rop I Asti k according to the present Erfindu ng, u mfasst at least one patient-specific proximal reference range, the surface against the distal top of the Femu rs is placed a nd a distal side wall defining a distal reference surface, which coincides in accordance with the patient-specific Operationsplanu ng during extension of the knee joint with the tibial cut, a nd a dorsal side wall defining a dorsal reference surface which, according to the patient specific Operationsplanu ng during flexion of the knee joint with the tibial cut coincides.
According to a preferred Ausfü HRU ngsform of the sample-Repositonsblocks are each formed directly by the surface of the respective distal nd / or dorsal side of the distal wall and / or the dorsal reference surface.
According to a further advantageous Ausfü HRU ngsform are the distal nd / or the dorsal reference surface of spacers formed, which are arranged on the respective side walls, wherein the spacer can be fastened, preferably detachably, to the side walls.
The erfindu ngsgemässe sample Repositonsblock is advantageously dadu in rch that the anterior block part a Schneidfü HRU ng fo r rschnitt a distal Femu environmentally words, the rschnitts a tool to m create the distal Femu can lead fo, wherein the Schneidfü guide a reference plane fo r rschnitt defines the distal Femu which is so aligned with r distal reference plane of the sample-Repositionsblocks that these two planes corresponding to the extension gap in accordance with the patient-specific Operationsplanu ng.
The extent of the stretching gap is so profiled simu directly from the thickness of the distal side wall, or it is - ngsformen according to further Ausfü HRU - additionally chosen specifically a smaller thickness and the degree u nder use of a spacer (ie, a Spaltmessleh re) adjusted. Just as the Streckspaltmessu ng can also Biegespaltmessu ng rchführen with spacers you. The use of spacers has the added advantage that you can easily simulate different inlay thicknesses through various Spacerdicken. Also the ratio respectively, the difference between the bending and stretching gap can be measured.
The sample-Repositonsblock according to the invention preferably comprises an anterior and a dorsal block member which are releasably attachable to each other in a precisely defined position to each other. The two-piece construction with the removable dorsal block part has proved to be particularly advantageous in the stretching gap and leg axis measurement (HKA axis), since the dorsal portion of the block would affect this measurement by deflecting the posterior capsule and the bending gap measurement, because the distal portion of the block would prevent the measurement is sprinter patella.
The dorsal block portion preferably surrounds the posterior condyles of the femur for the bending gap measure with the sprinter patella. The corresponding surface of the dorsal part block is in turn a patient-specific data is made on the basis of 3D, the specifications already in operation planning in CT or MRI to Crössen- be detected.
and the outermost points of the distal and posterior condyles (are necessary so that the osteophytes may be previously removed and not "redirect" the band tensions influenced) of the sample-Repositionsblock must fit on the Celenksfläche (trochlea) lie enclose.
The distal and posterior surface is preferably designed straight.
When sample-Repositonsblock according to the present invention, the dorsal block part on the dorsal side wall and the distal block part on the distal side wall are preferably provided with recesses for receiving the sensors and / or directly with sensors .. The sensors are preferably pressure sensors, and particularly preferably medially and laterally disposed on the respective side wall. The sensors are either integrated directly from the factory, or are cutouts or recordings present so that in the clinic if desired or necessary, appropriate sensors can be mounted.
At a defined smaller Mass: distal and dorsal surfaces with the medial and lateral convex roundings (condyles) are provided. These condyles are removable available to simulate various corrections in different thicknesses. (Resektionsmenge, varus / valgus, femoral rotation, inlay thicknesses femoral Crössen). they can be equipped with sensors also. Preferably, the measurement is then performed with the medial or lateral spacers, in order to simulate the corrections mentioned above.
in addition to the distal incision According to other advantageous embodiments, the sample-Repositionsblock all other femoral cutting guides. The anterior part block thus additionally has a cutting guide for a second (for example, a posterior) femoral and / or a third (for example, an anterior) femoral and / or any other femoral cuts.
(1 ° - 3 ° varus / valgus + 2mm, + 4mm, 0mm, -2mm, -4mm) provided by a conventional distal Preferably, an anterior side wall with positioning means, more preferably in the form of various correction Pin-hole pairs cutting block distalize if necessary, proximalisieren, varisieren or to valgisieren. Each of the mating drill holes of a pair is preferably one each in the medial and a disposed in the lateral region of the side wall in order to achieve a high precision of the plane defined over a large distance as possible.
In further advantageous embodiments, various holes are on the distal side wall available (1 ° in / out 2 ° in / out 3 ° in / out 5 ° in / out 7 ° / + 2mm - 2 mm) by which the rotation and a / p position of the 4inl block (a / p sections, resp. Femurkom- component) can be adjusted. Each of the mating drill holes of a pair is preferably wiederu m each in the medial nd arranged in the lateral region of the side wall.
The erfindu ngsgemässe block may be preferably designed such that it can receive section blocks of conventional I nstru elements directly, as is well known to m example from WO 2010/099142.
u The erfindu ngsgemässe trial Repositionsblock mfasst according to a further advantageous Ausfü hru ngsformen shots fo r extramedu lläre Achskontrollinstru elements as they are known from the prior art a nd available in the market.
According to another inventive Ausfü HRU ngsformen are / s fo r different CAS systems provided in erfindu ngsgemässen block one or more shots of one / several reference.
The sample according to the present Repositionsblock Erfindu ng is preferably made all in a rapid prototyping process. They are manufactured in a rapid prototyping method, at least the patient-specific components, in particular patient-specific reference proximal region a nd preferably the dorsal nd the distal side wall of the posterior and anterior nd block parts. Under rapid prototyping method manufacturing lugnsverfahren be understood, in which components are preferably constructed based on 3D data directly, layer by layer from amorphous form or neutral materials. There currently are in particular 3D Printing process in question where Ku nststoffe, Kalkpu lver lle epoxy-hue or photopolymers are used to Acylbasis, or electron beam melting process fo r metals or Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) method fo r acrylic - nitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymers (ABS) or polycarbonate, or Laminated Object Model delling (LOM) method fo r paper, Ku nststoffe, ceramic or aluminum Mini U m, or laser engi- neered Net Shaping (LENS) method fo r metals, or laser cladding fo r metals or selective laser melting (SLM) nststoffe or fo r metals, Ku ceramics, or Selective laser sintering (SLS) fo r thermoplastics (to m example: polycarbonates, polyamides, polyvinyl chloride, metals, ceramics) or stereo lithography (STL or SLA) process fo r liquid thermoset materials or elastomers.
The present invention realizes the following advantages over gegenü already available patient-specific cutting blocks.

You Eger bt it after the tibial cut the Endresu LTAT according rteilen patient-specific surgical planning to beu and make the appropriate ren Korrektu if necessary. It can be a nd capsule release made also a tape before the Femu r is processed. The ligamentous conditions are the same as with the trial prosthesis or definitive prosthesis.
are among the cases where the ligamentous relationships that nu n bre hzeitig controllable, in connection with the planned cuts in Ordnu ng, an enormous amount of time can be saved. In the cases where Korrektu are ren necessary, these Korrektu based reindeer on the very precise patient-specific Planu ng, the hen beru wiederu m on 3D data of a CT or MRI scan.

Based on the embodiment shown in Figu r 2 different views of a erfindu ngsgemässen sample Repositionsblocks 1 according to a first Ausfü HRU ngsform the present Erfindu ng will be discussed in the following to some important aspects of the present Erfindu ng. I n the Figu r 2a of the specimen-Repositionsblock 1 is shown in the assembled state in a view of the distal side. The sample-Repositionsblock 1 is composed of an anterior part of block 2 a nd a dorsal block part 3 together. The Befestigu ngsmittel that the two block parts form- a nd / or frictionally held together in the intended position, are in Figu r not shown. A distal side wall 4 defining a substantially flat distal reference surface 8 which collapses in accordance with the patient-specific OPE rationsplanu ng during extension of the knee joint with the tibial cut, respectively, comes to lie in the trial reduction on the cut tibial surface or disposed thereon apron.
I n the Figu r 2b is a view of the proximal, patient-specific shaped side of the sample-Repositionsblocks 1 is shown according to the Figu r 2a.
the patient-specific Gestaltu ng the proximal side, respectively, of the proximal portion 10 of the reference sample-Repositionsblocks 1 is again apparent from the perspective view according to the Figu r 2c. The proximal part of the anterior block part 2 as well as the posterior part of block 3 are precisely adapted to the surface of the replaced Femu rs of the patient. The patient-specific Ausgestaltu ng of the proximal reference ranges is in the illustrated Ausfü HRU ngsbeispiel annächernd entire surface of the previously determined 3D data of the replaced joint area adjusted so that a highly accurate POsiTiON ng of the block 1 on Femu r / is ensured rkondylen the Femu. The illustrated I mplantat is individually adapted to the patient, respectively, to the patient-specific surgical planning also with respect to the thickness of the distal side wall 4 a nd the dorsal side wall. 5 Based on the planned joint gap masses of Operationsplanu ng the wall thickness 40 of the distal side wall 4 in the illustrated Ausfü is currency, for example chosen so that the plane defined by the distal side wall 4 distal reference surface 8 (in conjunction with the Figu r 2a) the gewü nschten extension gap from for example pretending m 1 8 mm.
The block 1 according to the Figu ren 2a to 2d u mfasst not itself Schneidfü HRU ng fo r a distal nd possibly more Femu rschnitte that can lead a tool to create these Femu m rschnitte. but it has POsiTiON ngmittel in the form of various pin-hole pairs on, by means of which nts Bohru to r receiving pins can be created r position exactly r POsiTiON ng of a conventional cutting block on Femu. fo of the respective mating holes of a pair of the Rotationskorrektu r r is one each in the medial nd arranged in the lateral region of the side wall 4 to above to achieve a high precision of the plane defined over a sufficiently large clearance.
I n the distal side wall 4 of the block 1, as shown in Figu ren 2a, 2b and 2d nd indicated, according to a preferred integrated Ausfü HRU nts sensors 70 or integrated, which serve to r Belastu ngsmessu ng in extension. The sensors, as well as the Pin-hole pairs are ren in Figu 2a - 2d is not shown in all views.
I n the Figu r 2d block the anterior part 2 are a nd the posterior block part 3 is shown spaced from each other. From the combination with the Figu r 2c is clear that according to preferred Ausfü HRU ngsformen the relative POsiTiON ng of the two block parts can be mutually non nu r effected by positive locking means, as will be shown below, but also by adhesion means such as to m Example magnet 1 2, which are opposite poles aligned with each sunk in the block parts. I n the Figu r 2d these magnets are 1 2 indicated by dashed lines.
I n the Figu r 3a is shown schematically as a two-piece trial Repositionsblock V ngsform according to a Ausfü HRU the Erfindu ng the Repositionsblock 1 corresponds substantially to the trial according to the Figu r 2, is arranged in use on a bent knee. I n the Figu r is the better clarity's sake all the soft parts omitted nd nu r a I nnenband I is indicated schematically. A dorsal side wall 5 'of the dorsal block part 3' defines a dorsal reference surface coming in the inserted state according Operationsplanu ng when bent knee, that is, in the illustrated state of the flexion exactly on the tibial cut, respectively, to lie on the apron 80 on the tibial cut , The wall thickness of the dorsal side wall 5 'is precisely adapted to the patient-specific Operationsplanu ng nd defines a dorsal reference surface, which coincides with the flexion of the knee joint with the tibial cut, respectively, at the Probere- position on a arranged on the tibial cut apron 80 comes to lie ,
I n the Figu r 3b the situation is according to the Figu r 3a in a view of the distal side surfaces of the two block parts 2 'nd 3' is shown. The attending Chiru rg can the flexion gap using the patient-specific probe Repositionsblocks 1, as prepared in accordance with the Operationsplanu ng wu rde check directly. He notes in this Prüfu ng that the Dimensionieru ng of the flexion gap nd / or the intended rotation does not fit on the patient-specific soft tissue situation, he can correct this immediately with the help of Korrektu r-pin holes nd hang the Bohru fo r receiving the pins in Femu r deviating from the Operationsplanu ng install such a way that the hinge is optimally balanced weichteilreferenziert in flexion.
I n the Figu ren 4a and 4b is carried at the nd of the knee joint according to Figu r 3a and 3b nd by means of the anterior part block 2 ', the trial reduction when stretched knee. From Figu R 4a is clear that the posterior part of block 3 is removed to r Überprüfu ng of Operationsplanu ng in the extension '. It comes nu r still the anterior block part 2 'm used to therefore any necessary shift of the "Joint Line" or varus / valgus Korrektu r (fo r the distal femur cut) vorzu take. The anterior part of block 2 'is located with its distal side wall 4 directly on the apron 80 on the tibial cut on. Ausfü I m illustrated HRU ngsbeispiel thus forms the distal wall surface of the distal side wall 4 directly the distal reference surface.
If the Chiru, rg determined that the extension gap is adjusted according to the operation planning not optimal to the soft tissues of the patient, or that the desired varus nd valgus angle can not be achieved, it may arranged wiederu m by means of the tewand in the frontal Being 7 Korrektu r-pin holes 45, 46, the Bohru nts fo r pins u nder Berücksichtigu ng the necessary Korrektu ren set. In the figure 5a, a sample-Repositionsblock 100 is illustrated according to a further embodiment of the present invention. The sample-Repositionsblock 100 is in turn in an anterior block portion 102 and a posterior divided Blockteill 03. The distal side wall 104 and the ventral side wall 106 of the anterior portion of block 102 are each provided with two receiving openings III, 112, 113 and 114th In the receiving openings various correction inserts 120, 121, as shown for example in Figure 5b and 5c can be used. The receiving openings 111-114 white to a defined square cross section and are dimensioned so that the correction inserts 120, 121 can be inserted from the proximal side. The correction inserts each comprise two lateral insertion body 122, 123, 124 and 125 which are connected to each other through a support beam 126, 127th The slide body 122, 123, 124 and 125, the vertical beams 126, 127 are dimensioned so that they can be inserted so far in the inserted state proximally in the respective side wall, that no part projecting in the proximal reference region and interfere with the positive connection with the femoral surface , Each of the insertion body 122, 123, 124 and 125 has a pin hole 128.1 - 128.4 on.
The correction insert 120 shown in the figure 5b is inserted into the receiving openings 113,114 of the ventral side wall 106 and defined in the inserted state with its pair of pin holes 128.1 and 128.2 in accordance with operation planning intended position of the two anterior pins on which subsequently a conventional cutting block in the planned distal / proximal position with Omm and 0 ° varus / valgus deviation according surgical planning can be attached. If the Surgeon at Probere- position at the straightened knee detects a need for correction with respect to varus or valgus or with respect to a distal or proximal deviation of the cutting plane of the planned distal Femurschnitts, so he can make through a series of predetermined correction inserts precisely defined corrections. The correction inserts preferably include correction possibilities and combinations of them: Distal / proximally: +1 mm, + 2mm, 3mm +, + 4mm, -1 mm, -2mm, -3mm, -4mm Varus (each left / right): 1 ° , 2 °, 3 °, 4 ° valgus (each left / right): 1 °, 2 °, 3 °, 4 °
The correction application 121 5c shown in the figure is inserted into the receiving openings 111,111 of the ventral side wall 104 and defines in the inserted state with its pair of pin holes 128.3 and 128.4 in accordance with operation planning intended position of the two distal pins to which a conventional cutting block in the Omm scheduled position with deviation from the anterior / posterior cutting planes with 0 ° deviation from the planned lnnen- / external rotation is attachable. If the surgeon during the trial reduction on a bent knee correction needs in terms of rotation or in terms of a posterior or anterior deviation of the cutting plane of the planned posterior Femurschnitts fixed, it may in turn carry through a series of predetermined correction inserts precisely defined corrections. The correction inserts preferably provide the following correction options and combinations thereof:
Anterior / posterior: + 2mm, -2mm external rotation: -l °, 2 °, 3 ° of internal rotation: 1 °, 2 °, 3 °
According to other embodiments not shown in the figures, the correction inserts are formed such that they do not like the inserts shown in Figures 5b and 5c 120 inserted 121 from proximal into the respective receiving ports, but from the other side of the wall forth. The inserts, therefore, have on the rear of te positive and / or positive connection means, so that this correction inserts are removably attachable to the block part. The advantage of this design is that the correction inserts can be easily replaced, even if the block member is attached to the femur.
In the figure 5d, a correction application 130 is shown according to another preferred embodiment, in which the position of the two pin holes 131 and 132 is variable in the correction used in the x- and y-direction. The pin holes 131 and 132 are arranged to each on a verschiebbeweglich mounted within the correction insert support plate 133, 134 that can be brought into a desired xy-position by means of the adjustment devices 135 and in accordance with the aforementioned correction values ​​Va rus / valgus, distal / proximally respectively lnnen- / external rotation, anterior can be set posterior /. The correction 5d insert 130 shown in the figure is again not as the fitting 120 illustrated in figures 2b and 2c, inserted from the proximal end 121 into the respective receiving ports, but here from the other side of the wall. Its base plate 136 has for this purpose of, the rear wall, the sans layer in the rear Zeichung- lying on positive and / or positive connecting means, so that the correction application 130 is detachably fastened to the block portion 103.
In the overview diagrams in FIGS 6a to 6d, the relationship between the dimensions of the inventive patient-specific trial Repositionsblocks 1 "and the operation planning previously created and employed implants is illustrated again.
In the Figure 6a is a total knee prosthesis comprising a femoral implant and a Fl Tibi- aimplantatTI in an anterior view shown in the quasi-flexed state. In the figure 6d the same total knee prosthesis is shown in a lateral view. The knee prosthesis to be used Total is selected as part of the surgical planning suitable for the patient. In the Figure 6 are two important for surgical planning levels, which are determined by the prosthesis, shown in dashed lines. These are the level for the Tibi- Aschnitt TS and the level of the posterior femoral FSP. In the figure, the distance shown between these two levels is, for example 18mm, which stand height AU corresponds to the selected total knee prosthesis.
Generally it can be noted that this construction height in the diffracted and the construction height in the extended state can be simulated by the patient-specific Proberepositionsblöcke already after performing the tibial cut according to the present invention, since the respective posterior or distal side wall is dimensioned in thickness so as to with respect to the respective dorsal respectively distal femoral cut the planned construction height pretending so that the femur is already lying during the trial reduction in the patient-specific planned positions. These positons can be checked for correct axis orientations, rotations and angular positions and in particular for the correct soft tissue tension and correct if necessary by extremely simple. This after carrying out the tibial cut without any invasion to the femur, that is, without the femur a cut or a hole has been attached.
In conjunction with the Figures 6b and 6c it is apparent that these two reference planes, the crucial role in the dimensioning of the patient-specific product be-Repositionsblocks 1 ", in particular for the wall thickness of the dorsal side wall 5 'and the positioning of the pin holes and the play correction pin holes in the distal side wall 4 ".
The illustrated in Figures 6b and 6c sample Repositionsblocks 1 is not "turn has no built-in cutting guide on, but serves by means of pin-holes the pins for a conventional cutting block to set precisely defined. At block 1" is the dorsal reference surface 9 " "formed, but from a spacer 30 that between the dorsal side wall 5" directly from the dorsal side wall 5 is a nd the mudguard 80th, the wall thickness of the dorsal side wall 5 "is according to the illustrated Ausfü HRU ngsform reduced by the thickness of the spacer 30 ,
From the view according to Figu r 6c is clear that the separation line between the two block parts is preferably selected according to the present invention is such that after removal of the anterior block part the patella together with the Patel Lars away u ngestört eingespu ren leaves. The posterior block part not Touch not leads the patella in eingespu rten state.
I n the view according to the Figu r 6b interlocking means 60, 61 are shown which serve to each other to correct r POsiTiON ng of the anterior Boickteils 2 "nd the posterior block part 3". The interlocking means are "formed in two corresponding grooves 60, 61 in the anterior part of block 2" in the region of the separating plane of the two block parts than two laterally upstanding ribs 60, 61 on the posterior block part 3 engage.
I n the Figu r 7 of the relationship between the Dimensionieru ng of erfindu ngsgemässen patient-specific sample-Repositionsblocks 1 "in analogy to r Figu r 6, particularly the distal side wall and illustrates nd the operation scheduling previously created and mplantaten the employed I again.
I n the Figu r 7a, the total knee prosthesis P is wiederu m u mfassend the Femu rimplantat Fl u nd the tibial implant Tl shown in a view from Ventral nu n in the quasi-stretched state. I n the Figu r 7d the same total knee prosthesis P is shown in a lateral view. I n the Figu r 7 is wiederu m fo r the surgical planning important tibial cutting planes TS shown in dashed lines. I n the extension another predetermined by the prosthesis P plane is highly relevant, namely the plane fo r the distal Femu rschnitt FSD. I n the conjunction with the Figu ren 7b nd 7c is clear that these two reference planes fo the crucial role r the dimensioning of the patient-specific trial Repositionsblocks 1 ", in particular fo r the wall thickness of the distal side wall 4" u nd the POsiTiON ng of Pin-holes nd play and the correction pin holes in the ventral side wall 6 ".
the distal reference surface is ngsbeispiel HRU Ausfü I m illustrated "not directly from the distal side wall of the anterior block portion 2" formed 8, but from a distal side wall a spacer in form of a knee-analyzer 31, as it is known from the prior art. When manufac ng of erfindu ngsgemässen sample Repositionsblocks according Figu r 7, the wall thickness of the distal side wall is reduced by the thickness of the Knee analyzer 31st
