Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of orthopedic implants, in particular to a design method of a gradient porous cervical vertebra interbody fusion cage.
Background
At present, the cervical vertebra degeneration accounts for more than 50% of middle-aged people. Common cervical degeneration includes prolapse of cervical intervertebral disc, osteophyte formation, and ligament hypertrophy. Cervical degeneration often leads to neurological dysfunction, and in severe cases, requires surgery for treatment. Anterior cervical discectomy decompression fusion is a common operation for treating cervical degeneration, and the purpose of the operation is to obtain bony fusion. By using the cervical vertebra interbody fusion cage, the risk of falling and collapse of the transplanted bone in autologous bone fusion can be avoided, the height of the cervical vertebra intervertebral disc is restored, pain is relieved, symptoms such as nerve compression and the like are relieved, the growth of bones is promoted, and the stability of the vertebral body is enhanced.
The application of the porous structure to the design of the interbody cage gives the interbody cage many advantages, mainly expressed as: the porous structure reduces the rigidity of the material of the fusion cage and avoids the stress shielding effect; but also contributes to the bone tissue to grow inwards into pores, and the bone tissue and the fusion cage form a tightly combined whole to enhance the long-term stability of the fusion cage. The good bone gap distribution can not only ensure the requirements of the biomechanical property of the interbody fusion cage, but also be beneficial to the bone conduction and bone induction, and is an ideal interbody fusion cage structure.
Before the application date, the intervertebral fusion cage used clinically generally has no pore structure and no pore structure with gradient distribution, so that bone cells cannot grow into the fusion cage, namely the intervertebral fusion cage cannot be fused with vertebrae into a whole, and the long-term stability of the intervertebral fusion cage is poor; in a few of the disclosed designs of the multi-hole interbody fusion cage, the used pore structures are obtained by CAD software modeling, and a large number of sharp corners exist inside the multi-hole interbody fusion cage, so that the stress concentration phenomenon is very obvious, the strength and the rigidity are weakened, and the fatigue resistance performance is very weak.
Therefore, the technical personnel in the field are dedicated to develop a design method of the gradient porous cervical vertebra interbody fusion cage, and the design method adopts a pore structure with gradient distribution to promote the interbody fusion cage and vertebrae to be fused into a whole, has small stress concentration phenomenon and has good biomechanical property and biocompatibility.
