Height-adjustable implant for insertion between vertebral bodies and handling tool
The invention relates to a height-adjustable implant for insertion between vertebral bodies, and use a suitable handling tool. A known for example from DE 196 22 827 AI implant has a first and a second sleeve part, the second sleeve part has an external thread, a rotationally fixed manner with a longitudinal section in the first sleeve part and axially movably rests and at its end projecting from the first Hulsenteil out longitudinal section of a is included in the external thread engaging nut. the second sleeve part is moved from the first sleeve part out by rotating the nut. For actuating the nut, a rod-handling tool rmiges is inserted with its free end in a recess on the outer circumference of the nut. By a pivoting movement of the tool in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the implant plane, the nut is further rotated by a corresponding to the pivot angle of the tool piece. Thereafter, the tool is pulled out from the mother and the described process is repeated until the implant has the required height. During the rotational operation of the nut, the first sleeve part must not turn, so that this must be stated as a rule with a further tool. The height adjustment of the known implant thus requires increased time and equipment complexity. In addition, a relatively large surgical opening is required in order to carry out the manipulations mentioned hindrance. - "- ----

Considering this, it is the object of the invention to propose an implant and handling tool with which the insertion is facilitated in the spine.
This object is achieved with regard to an implant by claim 1 and in terms of a handling tool by claim 10 degrees. According to claim 1 the nut bears a toothed rim, is therefore designed as a gear. With the aid of a tool with a suitable counter element, for example a drive gear, the height of the implant can be adjusted, wherein with the handling ool no pivoting movements must be performed. Moreover, it is not required. To react the tool in many cases. It can be kept rather while the entire operation of the height adjustment in the same position, which considerably simplifies operation and saves operation time.
In a preferred embodiment, the mother carries the toothed ring on its side facing the first sleeve part bottom. The mother's operation can be effected with a wheel Antriebszahn- whose axis of rotation is perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the nut. A deflection of the rotational movement of the axis, as would be the case with a drive gear with aligned parallel to the rotation axis of the nut axis, is not required, thereby favoring a compact construction and the manufacturing cost is lowered.
About a rotational fixation of the first sleeve part to ensure a threaded bore is provided on this, on which a nut driving Handhabungswer can be convincing fixed. Unlike traditional implants only one serving both to drive the mother as well as for fixing the first sleeve part tool is thus required.
In the process known from DE 196 22 827 AI implant supports the nut 5 when extending from the second sleeve member to the facing end face of the first sleeve part. Otherwise, the mother is not fixed to the first sleeve part. The height of the known implant can therefore only be enlarged, but not reduced, that is, the second sleeve part can not) be moved into the first sleeve part 10th In the novel implant, however, the mother with a axial-effective form-fit, so fixed in both axial directions on the first sleeve part, whereby both an increase and a decrease in the implant height is possible. The latter 15 res example, may be required if an excessive height adjustment was made after insertion .of the implant.
In a particularly preferred embodiment, the 0 two sleeve parts have axially .verlaufende, opening out in their mutually facing ends window, wherein arranged between two adjacent windows • peripheral portions, axially displaceable in the einliegen Fehstern of the respective other sleeve part. Compared with an arrangement in which two concentric grip sleeve parts 5 each other, this has the advantage first that less material is required, and the implant is characterized lighter overall. There is also a much larger interior space available, or the like with the bone material. can be replenished. By the comb-like fashion the two sleeve parts access is finally a mutual rotational fixing ensured. For supporting the implant at a vertebral body, a radially widened end plate is provided. In a preferred embodiment, this is a separate part detachably fixed. It may then in each case the appropriate frontal plate, for example, an obliquely extending with a central longitudinal axis of the implant flat plane can be used. If the end plate fixed with the aid of a snap connection a sleeve part, is a firstly. ensures secure hold on the sleeve part and on the other an easy interchangeability. A simple in manufacturing and assembly technical terms embodiment provides that near the end face an annular groove in the inner wall of the sleeve part is provided, engageable with the integrally formed on the underside of the end plate detents.
A handling tool for an implant of the type described above comprises a co-operating with the nut gear according to claim 10th Preferably is present on the handling tool has a holding device for holding the implant. The gear is arranged so that its axis is transverse to the axis of the nut in the drive of the toothed ring. A deflections in the rotational movement of the drive shaft, as already mentioned above, is not required. A particularly space-saving and easy to use arrangement provides that the toothed ring on the end face of a pipe section, and in that the pipe section is traversed by a rod whose free end protrudes from the tube portion and screwed into the threaded bore of the first sleeve part. The coaxial arrangement of the pipe section and the rod Made possible a compact and easy-to-use handling tool. The invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Show it:

The implant shown in the Figures comprises a first sleeve part 1, a second sleeve part 2 and a nut 3 as main components. The sleeve part 2 is connected. one extending in substantially over its entire length • external thread 4 is provided. Both sleeve parts have axially 1,2 verlau- Fende, to their the mounted state in their mutually facing end face 5a, b opening out window. 6 The remaining Umfangsab- stand between two adjacent windows sections 7a, b are an axially displaceable in the windows 6 of the respective other sleeve part 1.2. Here, the clearance between the peripheral portions 7a, b dimensioned so that a wobble-free seating of the still two sleeve parts into each other, and a slight displacement is ensured. The sleeve parts 1,2 have approximately the same wall thickness and the same inner diameter, ie the peripheral portions 7b of the second sleeve member 2, neither via the outer or over the inner circumference of the sleeve portion 1 addition. The axial length of Fens- ter 6 and the peripheral portions 7a, b is such that at maximum retracted sleeve part 2 between the end face 5a, a peripheral portion 7a, b and the base 8 of a sleeve member 1,2 a axial distance is present. 9
the nut 3, which summarizes the two sleeve parts 1,2 environmentally serves for the height adjustment and for extending and retracting the sleeve part. 2 It is connected in an axially fixed and rotatable with the first sleeve part. Their the two sleeve parts comprises 1.2 comprehensive inside of an upper with an internal thread 10 verse- Henen longitudinal section and a subsequent thread-free longitudinal portion 13. In such an annular groove 14 is incorporated. The nut 3 is positioned on the sleeve member 1, that only the thread-free longitudinal portion 13 comprises the peripheral portions 7 of the sleeve part 1 and the female thread 10 with the external thread 4 of the sleeve member 2 is engaged. Near the end face 5a of a circumferential portion 7a is integrally formed a circular segment WAVY, extending over the entire width of projection 15 - which engages in the annular groove 14 of the nut. The nut 3 can indeed turn the sleeve part 1 is here, but is fixed thereto in both axial directions. The the free ends of the peripheral portions 7b "facing side of the nut 3 carries a coaxially to the central longitudinal axis 16 of the implant extending toothed ring 17. The toothed ring 17 is integrally formed on the .Mutter 3, for example milled. It serves the nut 3 with the aid of 5 to enable a tool hung described in more detail below in DRE and thereby move the sleeve member 2 from the sleeve portion 1 out or into, so to adjust the height of the implant.
The) 10 end faces 18 of the free ends of the peripheral portions 7a, b facing away carry a radially projecting beyond the circumference of the sleeve parts 1,2 addition, end plate 19. The end plates 19 are fixed by means of a snap connection detachably fixed to the sleeve parts 1,2. For this purpose, on the inner side of the sleeve parts 1,2 adjacent the end faces 18 an annular groove 20 forward hands 15 ,. arranged in the at the 'end sides 18a, b facing side of the' face plate catch projections 23 engage. The locking projections 23 are formed on a skirt 24 which defines a central opening 21 in the end plate nineteenth In the edge 25 of the skirt 24 are a plurality of in peripheral direction is 20 distributed recesses 26 introduced. The existing between the recesses 26 circumferential portions 27 carry the locking projections 23. The peripheral portions 27 are slightly radially inwardly deflected elastically, whereby the fixing or removal of the end plate is facilitated 19th On the outer 5 pages 28 of the face plates 19 standing in front of a toothed ring 29 in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the sixteenth This is used to clawing the implant to a vertebra.

is present near the nut 3 a radially directed threaded bore 33rd This serves to fix the manipulating tool described below.
As is apparent from Fig. 7, this is constituted essentially of a rod 34, one end of a handle 35 and whose other end carries a threaded portion 36. The extending away from the threaded portion 36 portion of the rod 34 is surrounded by a rotary sleeve 37 coaxially. The handle 35 facing the end of the rotating sleeve 37 carries a knurled knob '38 and the opposite end a toothed ring 39. This is similar to the nut 3, prepared by a milled machining of the sleeve end face. Axial movement of the sleeve 37 towards the grip 35 is limited by a stop flange. 39
For adjusting the height of the implant, for example, starting from the position shown in Fig. 1 with, the handling tool is with its threaded portion 36 threaded into the bore 33 is screwed. The toothed ring 39 stands with the toothed ring 17 in the manner of a crown engaged, ie the axis of the ring gear 39 is substantially perpendicular to the axis of the ring gear 17. The knurled wheel 38 rests against the stop flange 29th
After the implant has been inserted with the aid of the handling tool via a Operationsδffhung in the spine, to adjust a greater height of the implant, the rotary sleeve 37 is shifted by actuation of the knurled wheel 38 in rotation.
