An ancillary instrument for fitting the components of an ankle joint prosthesis made from two bone replacement implants and an intermediate insert, e.g. of polyethylene, has reversible assembly elements with holes for fixing screws, designed to connect the implants rigidly together at the moment of their insertion. In addition to the assembly holes the instrument has transverse apertures (26, 27) for a drill bit and then anchoring screws (12) which fasten tibial and astragalian implants to the respective joint bones.

Description

"SYSTEME POUR LE REMPLACEMENT DE L'ARTICULATION
DE LA CHEVILLE"
DESCRIPTION
La présente invention se rapporte à un système pour le remplacement de l'articulation de la cheville. Elle concerne un instrument ancillaire pour la mise en place d'une prothèse de cheville.
"SYSTEM FOR REPLACING THE ARTICULATION
ANKLE "
DESCRIPTION
The present invention relates to a system for replacing the ankle joint. It relates to an ancillary instrument for the installation of an ankle prosthesis.

Elle concerne également une prothèse d'articulation de la cheville, dont la mise en place met en oeuvre l'instrument ancillaire selon l'invention. It also relates to an ankle joint prosthesis, the implementation of which implements the ancillary instrument according to the invention.

Elle concerne encore un guide de coupe pour la découpe de l'espace de logement de la prothèse selon l'invention. It also relates to a cutting guide for cutting the housing space of the prosthesis according to the invention.

On connaît déjà des prothèses de cheville destinées à restaurer l'articulation tibio-tarsienne. Ankle prostheses intended to restore the tibio-tarsal joint are already known.

Ces prothèses sont généralement constituées d'au moins trois constituants principaux
- un premier implant tibial de remplacement osseux
destiné à être fixé à l'extrémité inférieure du
tibia,
- un second implant astragalien de remplacement
osseux destiné à être fixé à l'astragale,
- un insert intermédiaire destiné à être positionné
entre l'implant tibial et l'implant astragalien.
These prostheses generally consist of at least three main constituents
- a first tibial bone replacement implant
intended to be attached to the lower end of the
tibia,
- a second replacement talus implant
bone intended to be fixed to the talus,
- an intermediate insert intended to be positioned
between the tibial implant and the talus implant.

L'implant tibial et l'implant astragalien sont de préférence métalliques. L'insert intermédiaire est de préférence réalisé en matière plastique, comme par exemple du polyéthylène. The tibial implant and the talar implant are preferably metallic. The intermediate insert is preferably made of plastic, such as polyethylene.

Le procédé de mise en place de ces prothèses connues de l'art antérieur comprend généralement les opérations distinctes suivantes
- on positionne un guide de coupe tibial
relativement à l'extrémité inférieure du tibia, et
on prépare, à partir de la face avant de
l'articulation de la cheville, une cavité osseuse
dans le tibia à l'aide de ce guide de coupe tibial
; ladite cavité tibiale forme la partie supérieure
de l'espace de logement de la prothèse,
- on positionne un guide de coupe astragalien
relativement à l'astragale, et on prépare,
toujours à partir de la face avant de
l'articulation à traiter, une cavité osseuse dans
l'astragale à l'aide de ce guide de coupe
astragalien; ladite cavité astragalienne forme la
partie inférieure de l'espace de logement de la
prothèse,
- on fixe l'implant tibial dans la cavité osseuse
tibiale,
- on fixe l'implant astragalien dans la cavité
osseuse astragalienne, et
- on introduit l'insert intermédiaire définitif
entre l'implant tibial et l'implant astragalien.
The method of fitting these prostheses known from the prior art generally comprises the following distinct operations
- a tibial cutting guide is positioned
relatively to the lower end of the tibia, and
we prepare, from the front of
the ankle joint, a bone cavity
in the tibia using this tibial cutting guide
; said tibial cavity forms the upper part
the prosthesis housing space,
- we position an astragalian cutting guide
relatively to the talus, and we prepare,
always from the front of
the joint to be treated, a bone cavity in
the talus using this cutting guide
astragalian; said astragalar cavity forms the
lower part of the housing space of the
prosthesis,
- the tibial implant is fixed in the bone cavity
tibial,
- the talus implant is fixed in the cavity
talus bone, and
- the final intermediate insert is introduced
between the tibial implant and the talus implant.

L'insert intermédiaire offre une surface de contact supérieure avec l'implant tibial et/ou une surface de contact inférieure avec l'implant astragalien. Au cours du fonctionnement de telles prothèses implantées sur des patients, l'insert intermédiaire est animé d'un mouvement de glissement contre au moins l'un des deux implants. The intermediate insert provides an upper contact surface with the tibial implant and / or a lower contact surface with the talar implant. During the operation of such prostheses implanted on patients, the intermediate insert is animated by a sliding movement against at least one of the two implants.

Les surfaces de contact en regard, entre l'implant tibial et l'insert intermédiaire d'une part, et entre l'implant astragalien et l'insert intermédiaire d'autre part, sont théoriquement congruentes, c'est à dire géométriquement confondues, de manière à optimiser le positionnement et/ou le glissement dudit insert intermédiaire. The facing contact surfaces, between the tibial implant and the intermediate insert on the one hand, and between the talus implant and the intermediate insert on the other hand, are theoretically congruent, that is to say geometrically combined, so as to optimize the positioning and / or the sliding of said intermediate insert.

Mais le procédé de mise en place de ces prothèses ne permet pas de respecter de façon systématique la congruence théorique des surfaces de contact en regard lorsque la prothèse est implantée, ce qui risque de provoquer une usure prématurée de l'insert intermédiaire. Les conséquences d'une telle usure peuvent être néfastes pour le patient
- mauvais fonctionnement de l'articulation,
provoquant inconfort ou douleurs au cours du
mouvement,
- présence de débris d'usure dans l'articulation et
risques inflammatoires induits,
- descellement précoce des implants tibial et/ou
astragalien, et nécessité d'une nouvelle
intervention chirurgicale.
However, the method of fitting these prostheses does not allow systematic compliance with the theoretical congruence of the contact surfaces facing each other when the prosthesis is implanted, which risks causing premature wear of the intermediate insert. The consequences of such wear can be harmful for the patient
- malfunction of the joint,
causing discomfort or pain during
movement,
- presence of wear debris in the joint and
induced inflammatory risks,
- early loosening of the tibial implants and / or
astragalian, and need for a new
surgical intervention.

L'usure prématurée de l'insert intermédiaire peut s'expliquer principalement par les lacunes du procédé de mise en place de la prothèse, ainsi que les risques de descellement. The premature wear of the intermediate insert can mainly be explained by the shortcomings of the prosthesis placement process, as well as the risks of loosening.

Au moment de la préparation des cavités osseuses et au moment de l'insertion des implants de remplacement osseux dans lesdites cavités, il est difficile de positionner et d'orienter correctement lesdits implants de manière à obtenir in situ la congruence des surfaces de contact, congruence requise pour un fonctionnement optimal de la prothèse. When preparing the bone cavities and when inserting the bone replacement implants into said cavities, it is difficult to correctly position and orient said implants so as to obtain in situ the congruence of the contact surfaces, congruence required for optimal functioning of the prosthesis.

Le but de la présente invention est de proposer un système de remplacement de l'articulation de la cheville permettant la mise en place d'une prothèse de cheville qui respecte la congruence des surfaces de contact en regard. The aim of the present invention is to propose a system for replacing the ankle joint allowing the fitting of an ankle prosthesis which respects the congruence of the facing contact surfaces.

Cette invention se fonde sur le concept inventif consistant à introduire simultanément et solidaires l'un de l'autre les implants de remplacement osseux de la cheville dans l'espace de logement prévu à cet effet. This invention is based on the inventive concept consisting of simultaneously introducing and integral with one another the bone replacement implants of the ankle in the housing space provided for this purpose.

On précise tout d'abord le vocabulaire qui sera employé par la suite pour définir les liaisons
(assemblage, solidarisation, ancrage) existant entre les différents composants de l'invention et de son environnement d'utilisation.
We first specify the vocabulary that will be used later to define the connections
(assembly, joining, anchoring) existing between the different components of the invention and its environment of use.

Chaque implant est assemblé à l'instrument ancillaire pour être introduit dans la cavité osseuse qui doit le recevoir. Each implant is assembled to the ancillary instrument to be introduced into the bone cavity which must receive it.

Deux implants sont solidarisés entre eux, au moment de leur introduction dans la cavité osseuse, par l'instrument ancillaire auquel ils sont chacun assemblés. Two implants are joined together, at the time of their introduction into the bone cavity, by the ancillary instrument to which they are each assembled.

Après avoir été introduits et correctement positionnés dans l'espace de logement ménagé dans les os qui les reçoivent, les implants sont ancrés à l'os correspondant. After being inserted and correctly positioned in the space provided in the bones which receive them, the implants are anchored to the corresponding bone.

Selon un premier aspect, l'invention propose un instrument ancillaire pour l'implantation d'une prothèse dans un espace de logement, ladite prothèse étant constituée d'au moins deux implants de remplacement osseux et un insert intermédiaire, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend des moyens d'assemblage pour son assemblage réversible avec chacun des implants de remplacement osseux de la prothèse, de manière à solidariser entre eux selon une liaison rigide lesdits implants de remplacement osseux au moment de leur insertion dans l'espace de logement. According to a first aspect, the invention provides an ancillary instrument for implanting a prosthesis in a housing space, said prosthesis consisting of at least two bone replacement implants and an intermediate insert, characterized in that it comprises assembly means for its reversible assembly with each of the bone replacement implants of the prosthesis, so as to join together according to a rigid connection said bone replacement implants at the time of their insertion into the housing space.

Selon un deuxième aspect, l'invention propose une prothèse d'articulation de cheville, comprenant
- un premier implant tibial de remplacement osseux
destiné à être fixé à l'extrémité inférieure du
tibia,
- un second implant astragalien de remplacement
osseux destiné à être fixé au dôme de l'astragale,
et
- un insert intermédiaire, destiné à être positionné
entre l'implant tibial et l'implant astragalien, caractérisée en ce que l'implant tibial et l'implant astragalien sont munis de moyens de solidarisation temporaire pour leur assemblage avec un instrument ancillaire au moment de la mise en place de la prothèse.
According to a second aspect, the invention provides an ankle joint prosthesis, comprising
- a first tibial bone replacement implant
intended to be attached to the lower end of the
tibia,
- a second replacement talus implant
bone intended to be fixed to the dome of the talus,
and
- an intermediate insert, intended to be positioned
between the tibial implant and the talar implant, characterized in that the tibial implant and the talar implant are provided with temporary securing means for their assembly with an ancillary instrument when the prosthesis is put in place.

Selon un troisième aspect, l'invention propose un guide de coupe pour la découpe d'un espace de logement destiné à recevoir une prothèse de cheville, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend au moins deux fentes de passage pour le guidage de la lame d'une scie, lesdites fentes étant positionnées relativement l'une à l'autre de manière que la coupe tibiale et la coupe astragalienne soient réalisées pour une même installation dudit guide de coupe. According to a third aspect, the invention provides a cutting guide for cutting a housing space intended to receive an ankle prosthesis, characterized in that it comprises at least two passage slots for guiding the blade d 'A saw, said slots being positioned relative to each other so that the tibial cut and the talar cut are made for the same installation of said cutting guide.

Ainsi, le système selon l'invention permet d'agir à deux stades du procédé de mise en place de la prothèse au stade de la préparation de l'espace de logement et au stade de l'insertion des implants dans ledit espace, pour réaliser l'insertion simultanée des implants solidarisés, et obtenir la congruence in situ des surfaces de contact en regard. Thus, the system according to the invention makes it possible to act at two stages of the method of placing the prosthesis at the stage of preparation of the housing space and at the stage of insertion of the implants in said space, to achieve the simultaneous insertion of the implants secured, and obtaining the in situ congruence of the facing contact surfaces.

En d'autres termes, pour obtenir le positionnement idéal et la congruence parfaite des éléments prothétiques, l'invention se caractérise par
- l'existence d'un instrument ancillaire qui
solidarise entre eux, avant et pendant
l'insertion, les deux implants tibial et
astragalien entre lesquels est inséré l'insert
intermédiaire, selon la configuration qu'ils
doivent occuper dans l'espace de logement,
- une prothèse qui présente des faces extérieures de
contact avec le tibia et l'astragale, ces faces
étant parallèles entre elles lorsque l'implant
tibial et l'implant astragalien sont dans leur
position relative prévue pour l'insertion,
- un guide de coupe qui possède deux fentes,
sensiblement parallèles, de guidage de la lame de
scie pour la découpe parallèle et simultanée des
parois supérieure et inférieure de l'espace de
logement de la prothèse.
In other words, to obtain the ideal positioning and perfect congruence of the prosthetic elements, the invention is characterized by
- the existence of an ancillary instrument which
solidarity between them, before and during
insertion, the two tibial implants and
astragalian between which the insert is inserted
intermediate, depending on the configuration they
must occupy in the accommodation space,
- a prosthesis which has external faces of
contact with the tibia and the talus, these faces
being parallel to each other when the implant
tibial and the talus implant are in their
relative position provided for insertion,
- a cutting guide which has two slots,
substantially parallel, guiding the blade
saw for parallel and simultaneous cutting of
upper and lower walls of the space of
prosthesis housing.

Avantageusement, le guide de coupe comprend des moyens permettant la correction de déviations axiales
(varus ou valgus), ces déviations pouvant être d'origine tibiale ou d'origine astragalienne.
Advantageously, the cutting guide comprises means allowing the correction of axial deviations
(varus or valgus), these deviations can be of tibial or astragalian origin.

Le système de remplacement de l'articulation de la cheville, comprend, comme illustré à la figure 1, un instrument ancillaire 2 pour insérer une prothèse de cheville 3, suivant la direction d'insertion 10. The ankle joint replacement system includes, as illustrated in FIG. 1, an ancillary instrument 2 for inserting an ankle prosthesis 3, in the direction of insertion 10.

Cette prothèse de cheville 3 comprend, comme illustré aux figures 1 et 2, un implant tibial 4, un implant astragalien 5, et un insert intermédiaire 6. This ankle prosthesis 3 comprises, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, a tibial implant 4, a talar implant 5, and an intermediate insert 6.

Comme le montrent aussi les figures 4 à 11, l'implant tibial 4 comprend un plateau tibial 48 de forme générale plane rectangulaire ayant une face supérieure 45 pour le contact avec la face supérieure de la cavité de logement dans l'articulation du patient, et une face inférieure 43 de contact avec une face supérieure 63 de l'insert intermédiaire 6. As also shown in FIGS. 4 to 11, the tibial implant 4 comprises a tibial plate 48 of generally flat rectangular shape having an upper face 45 for contact with the upper face of the housing cavity in the patient's joint, and a lower face 43 of contact with an upper face 63 of the intermediate insert 6.

Les faces 45, 43 et 63 sont de forme générale plane, perpendiculaire à la direction longitudinale du tibia lorsque la prothèse est en place. La face supérieure 45 présente toutefois des zones de relief 14 destinées à favoriser l'ancrage du ciment. Le long de son bord avant, c'est à dire tourné vers l'opérateur pendant la mise en place de la prothèse, le plateau tibial 48 est raccordé à une plaque de manipulation tibiale 49 qui fait saillie par rapport à la face supérieure 45, selon un angle obtus par rapport à celle-ci. La plaque de manipulation 49 comporte une face arrière 41 de contact avec le tibia et une face avant 40 de contact avec un instrument ancillaire 2. Un aileron de stabilisation 44, traversé d'orifices 36 destinés à favoriser l'ancrage de la prothèse, fait saillie à partir des faces 41 et 45 de contact avec le tibia, en position centrale. Des moyens sont prévus pour l'immobilisation mutuelle de l'implant tibial 4 et l'insert intermédiaire 6. Ces moyens comprennent deux glissières latérales mâles 39 formant rebord en saillie relativement à la face inférieure 43 de l'implant tibial 4, et deux glissières femelles latérales complémentaires 61 le long des faces latérales de l'insert 6. Ces glissières permettent le montage de l'insert 6 à la manière d'un tiroir sous l'implant tibial 4 jusqu'à ce qu'une face arrière de l'insert bute contre un rebord arrière inférieur 38 de l'implant tibial, tandis que l'insert 6 s'encliquette derrière un rebord frontal 37 de l'implant tibial 4 (voir aussi figure 2). The faces 45, 43 and 63 are generally planar, perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the tibia when the prosthesis is in place. The upper face 45 however has relief zones 14 intended to promote the anchoring of the cement. Along its front edge, that is to say facing the operator during the fitting of the prosthesis, the tibial plate 48 is connected to a tibial manipulation plate 49 which projects relative to the upper face 45, at an obtuse angle to it. The handling plate 49 has a rear face 41 of contact with the tibia and a front face 40 of contact with an ancillary instrument 2. A stabilization fin 44, crossed by holes 36 intended to promote the anchoring of the prosthesis, makes protrusion from the faces 41 and 45 of contact with the tibia, in the central position. Means are provided for the mutual immobilization of the tibial implant 4 and the intermediate insert 6. These means comprise two male lateral slides 39 forming a protruding rim relative to the underside 43 of the tibial implant 4, and two slides complementary lateral females 61 along the lateral faces of the insert 6. These slides allow the insertion of the insert 6 in the manner of a drawer under the tibial implant 4 until a rear face of the insert abuts against a lower rear edge 38 of the tibial implant, while the insert 6 snaps behind a front edge 37 of the tibial implant 4 (see also Figure 2).

L'implant astragalien 5 comprend un dôme astragalien 58 ayant une face de base rectangulaire 53, plane, à l'exception de reliefs d'adhérence 14, destinés au contact avec la face inférieure de la cavité de logement pratiquée dans l'articulation du patient, et une face de contact convexe 54 pour le contact glissant avec une face de contact concave complémentaire 64 prévue du côté inférieur de l'insert intermédiaire 6. Les faces 54 et 64 sont cylindriques avec une axe géométrique orienté latéralement donc sensiblement parallèlement aux bords avant et avant de l'implant astragalien 5 et de l'insert 6. A son bord avant, le dôme 58 est solidaire d'une plaque de préhension astragalienne 59 faisant saillie selon un angle obtus par rapport à la base 53. La plaque de préhension astragalienne 59 comporte une face arrière 50 de contact avec l'astragale et une face avant 51 de contact avec l'outil d'insertion 2. The talus implant 5 comprises a talus dome 58 having a rectangular base face 53, planar, with the exception of adhesion reliefs 14, intended for contact with the underside of the housing cavity formed in the patient's joint , and a convex contact face 54 for sliding contact with a complementary concave contact face 64 provided on the lower side of the intermediate insert 6. The faces 54 and 64 are cylindrical with a geometric axis oriented laterally therefore substantially parallel to the front edges and before the talus implant 5 and the insert 6. At its front edge, the dome 58 is integral with a talar grip plate 59 projecting at an obtuse angle relative to the base 53. The grip plate talus 59 has a rear face 50 of contact with the talus and a front face 51 of contact with the insertion tool 2.

L'implant astragalien comporte en outre deux joues latérales de stabilisation 56, de part et d'autre de la base 53, qui se placent contre chaque côté de l'astragale du patient, que l'on a convenablement évidée par découpe osseuse préalablement à l'insertion, comme cela est visible en 19 à la figure 12. The talus implant also comprises two lateral stabilizing cheeks 56, on either side of the base 53, which are placed against each side of the patient's talus, which has been suitably hollowed out by bone cutting prior to insertion, as shown in 19 in Figure 12.

L'instrument ancillaire 2 se présente sous la forme d'un bloc multi-faces, comprenant deux faces 20 et 21 qui sont positionnées l'une par rapport à l'autre et dimensionnées pour entrer en contact avec la face 40 de l'implant tibial 4 et respectivement avec la face 50 de l'implant astragalien 5 lorsque les deux implants 4, 5 ont l'un par rapport à l'autre la positon voulue pour l'opération d'implantation dans l'articulation du patient (voir figure 2). Les faces de contact 20 et 21 sont opposées à une face antérieure 22 de l'instrument ancillaire 2 pour son maintien par le manipulateur au moment de l'insertion de la prothèse 3. The ancillary instrument 2 is in the form of a multi-sided block, comprising two faces 20 and 21 which are positioned relative to each other and dimensioned to come into contact with the face 40 of the implant. tibial 4 and respectively with the face 50 of the talar implant 5 when the two implants 4, 5 have, relative to each other, the desired position for the implantation operation in the patient's joint (see figure 2). The contact faces 20 and 21 are opposite to an anterior face 22 of the ancillary instrument 2 for its retention by the manipulator at the time of insertion of the prosthesis 3.

Les figures 2 et 3 montrent l'assemblage entre l'instrument ancillaire 2 et les deux implants de remplacement osseux tibial 4 et astragalien 5. L'insert intermédiaire 6 fait également partie de cet assemblage. Figures 2 and 3 show the assembly between the ancillary instrument 2 and the two tibial bone replacement implants 4 and talus 5. The intermediate insert 6 is also part of this assembly.

Des repères 29 (figure 3) destinés à aider le manipulateur pour orienter correctement l'instrument d'insertion 2 peuvent être prévus sur celui-ci, par exemple sur la face antérieure 22. Markers 29 (FIG. 3) intended to help the manipulator to orient the insertion instrument 2 correctly can be provided on this, for example on the front face 22.

De même un indicateur 30 de la taille de l'instrument ancillaire 2 peut être représenté sur la face antérieure 22. Similarly, an indicator 30 of the size of the ancillary instrument 2 can be represented on the anterior face 22.

L'instrument ancillaire 2 comprend des moyens 23 pour son assemblage avec l'implant tibial 4 et des moyens 24 pour son assemblage avec l'implant astragalien 5. The ancillary instrument 2 comprises means 23 for its assembly with the tibial implant 4 and means 24 for its assembly with the talar implant 5.

L'implant tibial 4 (figure 7) et l'implant astragalien 5 (figure 9) comprennent des moyens d'assemblage 42 et respectivement 52 correspondants. The tibial implant 4 (FIG. 7) and the talar implant 5 (FIG. 9) comprise assembly means 42 and respectively 52 corresponding.

Selon le mode de réalisation illustré (voir figure 2), l'assemblage est un assemblage par vissage, et les moyens d'assemblage 23, 24 comprennent des perforations 23, 24 débouchant à travers la face 22 ainsi que, respectivement, à travers les faces de contacts 20, 21, pour le passage de vis d'assemblage 11; et les moyens d'assemblage 42, 52 comprennent au moins un orifice taraudé 42 formé à travers la plaque de préhension tibiale 49, et au moins un orifice taraudé 52 formé à travers la plaque de préhension astragalienne 59. According to the illustrated embodiment (see FIG. 2), the assembly is an assembly by screwing, and the assembly means 23, 24 comprise perforations 23, 24 opening out through the face 22 as well as, respectively, through the contact faces 20, 21, for the passage of assembly screws 11; and the assembly means 42, 52 comprise at least one tapped orifice 42 formed through the tibial grasping plate 49, and at least one tapped orifice 52 formed through the talar grasping plate 59.

L'extrémité filetée des vis d'assemblage 11 vient se loger dans les orifices taraudés 42, 52 tandis que la tête des vis 11 prend appui dans des élargissements formés dans les perforations 23, 24 du côté de la face antérieure 22. The threaded end of the assembly screws 11 is housed in the tapped holes 42, 52 while the head of the screws 11 is supported in enlargements formed in the perforations 23, 24 on the side of the front face 22.

Ainsi, les deux implants 4, 5 de remplacement osseux sont rendus solidaires l'un de l'autre au moment de leur mise en place dans l'espace de logement, par l'intermédiaire de leur assemblage simultané avec l'instrument ancillaire 2. Thus, the two bone replacement implants 4, 5 are made integral with one another when they are placed in the housing space, by means of their simultaneous assembly with the ancillary instrument 2.

Comme le montrent les figures 1, 2 et 3, l'insert intermédiaire 6 est en place entre les deux implants 4 et 5 lorsque ceux-ci sont fixés à l'instrument ancillaire 2, et il est introduit avec les implants tibial 4 et astragalien 5 au moment de la mise en place de la prothèse 3. Ce peut être un insert intermédiaire d'essai, ce peut être aussi l'insert intermédiaire définitif. As shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3, the intermediate insert 6 is in place between the two implants 4 and 5 when these are fixed to the ancillary instrument 2, and it is introduced with the tibial implants 4 and talus 5 when the prosthesis is put in place 3. It can be an intermediate test insert, it can also be the final intermediate insert.

L'instrument ancillaire 2 positionne les deux implants l'un par rapport à l'autre de façon que la surface 43 de l'implant tibial 4 et la surface 63 de l'insert intermédiaire 6 sont congruentes, c'est à dire géométriquement confondues, lorsque l'assemblage est réalisé (figures 4 et 5) et que la surface articulaire cylindrique 54 de l'implant astragalien 5 et la surface articulaire cylindrique 64 de l'insert intermédiaire 6 sont également congruentes lorsque l'assemblage est réalisé (voir figures 5 et 6). En outre, l'immobilisation assurée entre les implants 4, 5 par l'instrument ancillaire 2 correspond à une positon articulaire neutre, dans laquelle la base 53 du dôme astragalien 58 est parallèle à la face supérieure 45 de l'implant tibial 4.  The ancillary instrument 2 positions the two implants relative to each other so that the surface 43 of the tibial implant 4 and the surface 63 of the intermediate insert 6 are congruent, that is to say geometrically coincident , when the assembly is carried out (FIGS. 4 and 5) and the cylindrical articular surface 54 of the talar implant 5 and the cylindrical articular surface 64 of the intermediate insert 6 are also congruent when the assembly is carried out (see figures 5 and 6). In addition, the immobilization provided between the implants 4, 5 by the ancillary instrument 2 corresponds to a neutral articular position, in which the base 53 of the talar dome 58 is parallel to the upper face 45 of the tibial implant 4.

Il suffit d'un orifice taraudé 42, 52 sur chaque implant et de deux perforations correspondantes 23, 24 dans l'instrument ancillaire 2 pour réaliser une liaison rigide des deux implants l'un par rapport à l'autre dans la position voulue grâce à la solidarisation de l'insert 6 avec l'implant tibial 4 et grâce à la correspondance des surfaces articulaires 54 et 64, qui empêche toute rotation des implants autour de l'axe de leur vis d'assemblage respective. A tapped hole 42, 52 on each implant and two corresponding perforations 23, 24 in the ancillary instrument 2 are sufficient to achieve a rigid connection of the two implants relative to each other in the desired position thanks to the attachment of the insert 6 with the tibial implant 4 and thanks to the correspondence of the articular surfaces 54 and 64, which prevents any rotation of the implants around the axis of their respective connecting screw.

Lorsque l'assemblage des implants 4, 5 est réalisé par l'intermédiaire de l'instrument ancillaire 2, l'ensemble prothétique formé des constituants 4, 5, 6 est introduit dans l'espace de logement ménagé à cet effet dans les os correspondants: tibia 101 et astragale 102. When the implants 4, 5 are assembled using the ancillary instrument 2, the prosthetic assembly formed of the components 4, 5, 6 is introduced into the housing space provided for this purpose in the corresponding bones : tibia 101 and astragalus 102.

L'espace de logement, dont la découpe sera détaillée plus loin, est dimensionné de façon à correspondre sensiblement aux dimensions de l'ensemble prothétique assemblé, qui doit l'occuper. The housing space, the cutting of which will be detailed below, is dimensioned so as to correspond substantially to the dimensions of the assembled prosthetic assembly, which must occupy it.

L'introduction dudit ensemble prothétique dans l'espace de logement se fait par emboîtage coulissant, comme celle d'un tiroir dans son emplacement réservé. The introduction of said prosthetic assembly into the housing space is done by sliding fitting, like that of a drawer in its reserved location.

L'emboîtage est aidé par une opération d'impaction qui consiste à appliquer, sur la face antérieure 22 de l'instrument ancillaire 2, des impacts répétés selon la direction d'insertion 10 (figure 1), antéro-postérieure et parallèle aux faces 45 et 53 de la prothèse, de manière à enfoncer l'ensemble prothétique dans l'espace de logement. The fitting is assisted by an impaction operation which consists in applying, on the anterior face 22 of the ancillary instrument 2, repeated impacts along the direction of insertion 10 (FIG. 1), anteroposterior and parallel to the faces 45 and 53 of the prosthesis, so as to push the prosthetic assembly into the housing space.

A cet effet, on utilise un impacteur (non représenté) , instrument dont l'une des extrémités est calée sur la face antérieure 22 de l'instrument ancillaire d'insertion 2, et dont l'autre extrémité présente une surface perpendiculaire à la direction d'insertion 10 sur laquelle le manipulateur frappe à l'aide d'un outil tel qu'un maillet. For this purpose, an impactor (not shown) is used, an instrument whose one end is wedged on the front face 22 of the ancillary insertion instrument 2, and the other end of which has a surface perpendicular to the direction insert 10 on which the manipulator strikes using a tool such as a mallet.

L'instrument ancillaire 2 comprend des encoches de guidage 28 (figures 3 et 12) pour le guidage de l'impacteur au moment de l'impaction. The ancillary instrument 2 includes guide notches 28 (Figures 3 and 12) for guiding the impactor at the time of impact.

Une fois que les implants tibial 4 et astragalien 5 sont introduits solidairement l'un de l'autre par l'intermédiaire de l'instrument ancillaire 2 dans les cavités osseuses formant l'espace de logement de la prothèse 3, l'étape suivante de la mise en place de la prothèse consiste à ancrer ces implants tibial 4 et astragalien 5 dans les os correspondants, avant de démonter l'assemblage réversible, et de retirer l'instrument ancillaire 2. Once the tibial 4 and talus implants 5 are introduced integrally from one another via the ancillary instrument 2 into the bone cavities forming the housing space of the prosthesis 3, the next step of placing the prosthesis consists of anchoring these tibial 4 and talus implants 5 in the corresponding bones, before dismantling the reversible assembly, and removing the ancillary instrument 2.

Chaque implant de remplacement osseux 4, 5 est muni de moyens d'ancrage pour réaliser sa fixation à l'os correspondant. Each bone replacement implant 4, 5 is provided with anchoring means for fixing it to the corresponding bone.

L'opération d'ancrage des implants 4, 5 se fait par vissage. Elle est illustrée à la figure 12 qui décrit le tibia 101, l'astragale 102 ainsi que l'ensemble prothétique inséré dans l'espace de logement et toujours assemblé avec l'instrument ancillaire 2. The operation of anchoring the implants 4, 5 is done by screwing. It is illustrated in FIG. 12 which describes the tibia 101, the talus 102 and the prosthetic assembly inserted in the housing space and always assembled with the ancillary instrument 2.

Comme clairement représenté à la figure 12, l'accès du manipulateur à la prothèse 3 insérée se fait essentiellement par la face antérieure 22 de l'instrument ancillaire 2. As clearly shown in FIG. 12, the access of the manipulator to the inserted prosthesis 3 is essentially via the anterior face 22 of the ancillary instrument 2.

Cet instrument ancillaire 2 comprend des évidements traversants 26, 27 qui, à travers sa face antérieure 22 et ses faces de contact respectives 20 et 21, donnent accès à l'implant tibial 4 et l'implant astragalien 5. This ancillary instrument 2 comprises through recesses 26, 27 which, through its anterior face 22 and its respective contact faces 20 and 21, give access to the tibial implant 4 and the talar implant 5.

Dans le mode de réalisation illustré, les évidements traversants sont des alésages 26, 27 qui se trouvent situés exactement en regard des moyens d'ancrage des implants 4, 5, lorsque les implants, 4, 5 sont assemblés à l'instrument ancillaire 2.  In the illustrated embodiment, the through recesses are bores 26, 27 which are located exactly opposite the means for anchoring the implants 4, 5, when the implants, 4, 5 are assembled to the ancillary instrument 2.

Ces moyens d'ancrage des implants, indiqués aux figures 7 et 9, consistent pour le mode de réalisation illustré en des trous 46 à travers la plaque de manipulation 49 de l'implant tibial 4 et des trous 57 à travers la plaque de manipulation 59 de l'implant astragalien 5. These implant anchoring means, shown in FIGS. 7 and 9, consist, for the embodiment illustrated, of holes 46 through the manipulation plate 49 of the tibial implant 4 and holes 57 through the manipulation plate 59 of the talus implant 5.

Le manipulateur perce le tibia 101 avec des mèches de forage à travers les évidements traversants 26 de l'instrument ancillaire 2 et à travers les trous 46 de l'implant tibial 4. The manipulator pierces the tibia 101 with drill bits through the through recesses 26 of the ancillary instrument 2 and through the holes 46 of the tibial implant 4.

De la même manière, il perce l'astragale 102 avec des mèches de forage à travers les évidements traversant 27 de l'instrument ancillaire 2 et à travers les trous 57 de l'implant astragalien 5. In the same way, it pierces the talus 102 with drill bits through the recesses passing through 27 of the ancillary instrument 2 and through the holes 57 of the talar implant 5.

Puis, comme illustré à la figure 12, le manipulateur introduit des vis d'ancrage 12 qu'il visse au tibia 101 au moyen d'un tournevis 13 à travers les passages formés par les évidements traversants 26 et les trous 46, pour ancrer l'implant tibial 4 au tibia 101. Then, as illustrated in FIG. 12, the manipulator introduces anchoring screws 12 which it screws to the tibia 101 by means of a screwdriver 13 through the passages formed by the through recesses 26 and the holes 46, to anchor the tibial implant 4 to the tibia 101.

De la même manière, le manipulateur visse l'implant astragalien 5 à l'astragale 102 au moyen de vis d'ancrage 12 au travers des évidements traversants 27 et au travers des trous 57. In the same way, the manipulator screws the talar implant 5 to the talar 102 by means of anchor screws 12 through through recesses 27 and through holes 57.

Pour assurer la stabilité de l'ancrage des implants dans les os, l'implant tibial 4 comprend au moins deux trous 46 de passage des vis d'ancrage, et l'implant astragalien 5 comprend au moins deux trous 57 de passage des vis d'ancrage 12. To ensure the stability of the anchoring of the implants in the bones, the tibial implant 4 comprises at least two holes 46 for passage of the anchoring screws, and the talus implant 5 comprises at least two holes 57 for passage of the screws d anchor 12.

Pour les mêmes raisons et pour obtenir une bonne correspondance entre l'instrument ancillaire 2 et les implants respectifs 4, 5, les évidements traversants 26, 27 comprennent une paire d'alésages traversants par implant 4, 5 assemblé à l'instrument ancillaire 2. For the same reasons and to obtain a good correspondence between the ancillary instrument 2 and the respective implants 4, 5, the through recesses 26, 27 comprise a pair of through bores per implant 4, 5 assembled to the ancillary instrument 2.

Sur les implants 4, 5, les trous 46 et 57 (figures 4, 7 et 6, 9) destinés à recevoir les vis d'ancrage 12 ont une forme allant en se rétrécissant sensiblement de la surface de contact 40, 51 avec l'instrument ancillaire 2 vers la surface de contact 41, 50 avec l'os 101, 102, de manière à noyer au moins en partie la tête conique des vis d'ancrage 12 dans l'épaisseur des plaques de préhension 49, 59. On the implants 4, 5, the holes 46 and 57 (FIGS. 4, 7 and 6, 9) intended to receive the anchoring screws 12 have a shape which tapers substantially from the contact surface 40, 51 with the ancillary instrument 2 towards the contact surface 41, 50 with the bone 101, 102, so as to at least partially drown the conical head of the anchoring screws 12 in the thickness of the gripping plates 49, 59.

Les figures 4, 7 et 6, 9 illustrent plus précisément les implants de remplacement osseux tibial 4 et astragalien 5. Figures 4, 7 and 6, 9 illustrate more precisely the tibial 4 and talus bone replacement implants 5.

Lorsque la prothèse est en place, le mouvement articulaire se fait par glissement des surfaces cylindriques congruentes 64 et 54, dans la direction antéropostérieure de la cheville, pour reproduire sensiblement le mouvement articulaire naturel de la cheville. Ce mouvement naturel est composé d'une rotation principale autour d'un axe latéral et d'un jeu en rotation autour de l'axe mécanique de la jambe, la première se produisant entre l'insert intermédiaire et l'implant astragalien, le second entre l'implant tibial et l'insert intermédiaire. When the prosthesis is in place, the articular movement takes place by sliding the congruent cylindrical surfaces 64 and 54, in the anteroposterior direction of the ankle, to substantially reproduce the natural articular movement of the ankle. This natural movement is composed of a main rotation around a lateral axis and a rotation game around the mechanical axis of the leg, the first occurring between the intermediate insert and the talus implant, the second between the tibial implant and the intermediate insert.

L'insert intermédiaire 6, qui est introduit avec l'implant tibial 4 et avec l'implant astragalien 5 au moyen de l'instrument ancillaire 2, est généralement un insert d'essai. Lorsque l'ensemble prothétique formé des constituants 4, 5, 6 est introduit dans l'espace de logement, et lorsque les implants tibial 4 et astragalien 5 sont ancrés dans l'os correspondant 101, 102, au moyen des vis d'ancrage, l'assemblage réversible entre l'instrument ancillaire 2 et les implants 4, 5 est démonté par dévissage des vis d'assemblage 11. L'insert intermédiaire est alors retiré. il présente à cet effet des trous taraudés 66 pour sa préhension par un instrument fileté adapté. Ensuite le manipulateur introduit dans l'interstice existant alors entre l'implant tibial 4 et l'implant astragalien 5 ancrés, l'insert intermédiaire définitif. Le système de remplacement selon 1 invention prévoit un ensemble d'inserts intermédiaires d'épaisseurs différentes mais présentant tous les mêmes surfaces de congruence 63, 64. The intermediate insert 6, which is introduced with the tibial implant 4 and with the talar implant 5 by means of the ancillary instrument 2, is generally a test insert. When the prosthetic assembly formed of the components 4, 5, 6 is introduced into the accommodation space, and when the tibial implants 4 and the talus 5 are anchored in the corresponding bone 101, 102, by means of the anchoring screws, the reversible assembly between the ancillary instrument 2 and the implants 4, 5 is dismantled by unscrewing the assembly screws 11. The intermediate insert is then removed. to this end, it has tapped holes 66 for gripping it with a suitable threaded instrument. Then the manipulator introduced into the interstice then existing between the tibial implant 4 and the talar implant 5 anchored, the final intermediate insert. The replacement system according to 1 invention provides a set of intermediate inserts of different thicknesses but all having the same congruent surfaces 63, 64.

Ainsi, le manipulateur peut choisir à volonté l'épaisseur de l'insert définitif qui est introduit après la mise en place des implants 4, 5, ce qui autorise la mise en tension idéale des éléments ligamentaires latéraux de l'articulation.Thus, the manipulator can choose at will the thickness of the final insert which is introduced after the placement of the implants 4, 5, which allows the ideal tensioning of the lateral ligament elements of the joint.

L'opération de découpe de l'espace de logement de la prothèse 3 est illustrée à la figure 14. Elle s'effectue au moyen du guide de coupe 7 représenté plus précisément à la figure 13. The operation for cutting the space for housing the prosthesis 3 is illustrated in FIG. 14. It is carried out by means of the cutting guide 7 shown more precisely in FIG. 13.

L'utilisateur a auparavant préparé cette découpe, selon des techniques classiquement connues
- en adaptant un viseur externe sur le tibia, et un
guide-broche sur le viseur,
- puis en fixant des broches 15, 16 dans le tibia et
l'astragale, ces broches étant positionnées les
unes par rapport aux autres grâce au guide-broche,
- et en retirant le guide-broche et le viseur
externe.
The user has previously prepared this cut, using conventionally known techniques
- by adapting an external sight on the tibia, and a
spindle guide on the viewfinder,
- then by fixing pins 15, 16 in the tibia and
the talus, these pins being positioned the
relative to each other thanks to the spindle guide,
- and by removing the spindle guide and the viewfinder
external.

Le guide de coupe 7 est installé devant l'extrémité inférieure du tibia 101 et le dôme de l'astragale 102. The cutting guide 7 is installed in front of the lower end of the tibia 101 and the dome of the talus 102.

il comprend à cet effet des perforations tibiales 71 qui s'enfilent sur les broches tibiales 15, et des perforations astragaliennes 72 qui s' enfilent sur les broches astragaliennes 16. Des repères 79 destinés à guider le manipulateur pour orienter le guide de coupe peuvent être prévus sur celui-ci.it includes for this purpose tibial perforations 71 which thread on the tibial pins 15, and talus perforations 72 which thread on the talus pins 16. Markers 79 intended to guide the manipulator to orient the cutting guide provided on it.

Le guide de coupe 7 est muni de deux fentes exactement parallèles, une fente tibiale 74 et une fente astragalienne 75. Lorsque le guide de coupe est installé sur les broches 15, 16, ces fentes 74, 75 se trouvent sensiblement perpendiculaires à l'axe du tibia 101.  The cutting guide 7 is provided with two exactly parallel slots, a tibial slot 74 and an talus slot 75. When the cutting guide is installed on the pins 15, 16, these slots 74, 75 are substantially perpendicular to the axis shin 101.

Les fentes 74, 75 servent au guidage de la lame de scie 17 pour la découpe simultanée de la paroi supérieure de la cavité tibiale et de la paroi inférieure de la cavité astragalienne, lesdites cavités formant ensemble l'espace de logement de la prothèse. The slots 74, 75 are used to guide the saw blade 17 for the simultaneous cutting of the upper wall of the tibial cavity and the lower wall of the talar cavity, said cavities together forming the space for housing the prosthesis.

Le guide de coupe 7 reste toujours en position d'enfilage sur les broches tibiales 15 et astragaliennes 16, et les coupes latérales du tibia sont réalisées en s'appuyant sur les faces latérales 77 du guide de coupe. The cutting guide 7 always remains in the threading position on the tibial 15 and talus pins 16, and the lateral cuts of the tibia are made by resting on the lateral faces 77 of the cutting guide.

Le guide de coupe 7 peut ensuite être retiré. The cutting guide 7 can then be removed.

Une entaille de réception de l'aileron tibial 44 est ménagée dans le tibia, au-dessus de la coupe tibiale et perpendiculairement à celle-ci. Cette entaille est réalisée au moyen d'une lame de scie qui est guidée par une fente spécifique du guide de coupe ou d'un instrument supplémentaire de découpe. A notch for receiving the tibial fin 44 is made in the tibia, above the tibial cut and perpendicular thereto. This notching is carried out by means of a saw blade which is guided by a specific slot in the cutting guide or by an additional cutting instrument.

Bien sûr, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples qui viennent d'être décrits et de nombreux aménagements peuvent être apportés à ces exemples sans sortir du cadre de l'invention. Of course, the invention is not limited to the examples which have just been described and numerous modifications can be made to these examples without departing from the scope of the invention.

Par exemple, le mode d'exécution illustré présente une configuration particulière de l'assemblage entre l'instrument ancillaire d'insertion 2 et les implants tibial 4 et astragalien 5. Les faces 20 et 21 de l'instrument ancillaire 2 appartiennent à des plans distincts et présentent des orientations différentes, pour se conformer aux surfaces 40 et 51 des implants tibial 4 et astragalien 5 avec lesquelles elles entrent en contact. Sans sortir du cadre de 1 invention, on pourrait envisager une configuration différente, par exemple avec des faces 20 et 21 parallèles entre elles et à la face 22, ces faces 20 et 21 appartenant au même plan ou à des plans différents. For example, the illustrated embodiment presents a particular configuration of the assembly between the ancillary insertion instrument 2 and the tibial 4 and talar implants 5. The faces 20 and 21 of the ancillary instrument 2 belong to planes distinct and have different orientations, to conform to the surfaces 40 and 51 of the tibial 4 and talus implants 5 with which they come into contact. Without departing from the scope of the invention, one could envisage a different configuration, for example with faces 20 and 21 parallel to each other and to face 22, these faces 20 and 21 belonging to the same plane or to different planes.

Dans d'autres modes de réalisation, on peut prévoir au minimum deux orifices taraudés 42, 52 sur chaque implant 4, 5, qui coopèrent avec autant de perforations correspondantes 23, 24 sur l'instrument ancillaire 2, et avec autant de vis d'assemblage 11, pour solidariser selon une liaison rigide lesdits implants entre eux par assemblage avec l'instrument ancillaire 2. In other embodiments, at least two tapped orifices 42, 52 can be provided on each implant 4, 5, which cooperate with as many corresponding perforations 23, 24 on the ancillary instrument 2, and with as many screws. assembly 11, to secure said implants to one another by a rigid connection by assembly with the ancillary instrument 2.

Selon une variante de l'invention, les zones de reliefs 14 sont remplacées ou complétées par un matériau qui facilite l'accroche osseuse, comme par exemple une couche d'hydroxyapatite.  According to a variant of the invention, the relief zones 14 are replaced or supplemented by a material which facilitates bone attachment, such as for example a layer of hydroxyapatite.
