The technical effects of the magnetoelectric intervertebral cage of the present invention will be further described below by referring to specific embodiments.
Example 1
A method for monitoring the postoperative position of an intervertebral fusion cage specifically comprises the following steps:
the magnetic neodymium iron boron block is fixed in the current commercial interbody fusion cage by an additive manufacturing technology, the exterior of the magnetic neodymium iron boron block is wrapped by medical polyether ether ketone (PEEK) polymer, and the reaction between biological tissues and the interbody fusion cage is blocked, so that the magnetoelectric interbody fusion cage 2 is formed.
A1 cm diameter, 20 turn copper coil receiver was placed on the skin opposite the vertebrae.
After the fusion of the lumbar interbody fusion cage, the patient leans forward, the relative displacement of the inner permanent magnetic substance (magnetic neodymium iron boron block) relative to the coil outside the skin changes, so that the magnetic flux of the coil changes, and the induced voltage of 25 microvolts is monitored by the copper coil receiver. The patient leans back and an induced voltage of 76 microvolts is generated which is monitored by a copper coil receiver. If the magnetoelectric intervertebral fusion device 2 falls off, the induced voltage of 1200-1500 microvolts is monitored by the copper coil receiver.
Example 2
A method for monitoring the postoperative position of an intervertebral fusion cage specifically comprises the following steps:
the magnetic neodymium-nickel-cobalt powder with the mass percentage of 42 percent and the particle size of 120 mu m is fixed in the current commercial interbody fusion cage by the glue bonding technology, the outside of the magnetic neodymium-nickel-cobalt powder is wrapped by medical polyimide polymer, and the reaction between biological tissues and the interbody fusion cage is blocked, so that the magnetoelectric interbody fusion cage 2 is formed.
A conductive silver coil receiver of 200 turns, 1 cm in diameter, was placed on the skin opposite the vertebrae.
After the fusion of the lumbar interbody fusion cage, the patient leans forwards, the relative displacement of the inner permanent magnetic substance (magnetic neodymium iron boron block) relative to the coil outside the skin is changed, and thus, the magnetic flux of the coil is changed, and the induction voltage of 21 microvolts is monitored by the conductive silver coil receiver. The patient leans back and an induced voltage of 88 microvolts is monitored by a conductive silver coil receiver. If the magnetoelectric intervertebral fusion device 2 falls off, the induced voltage of 700-900 microvolts is monitored by the conductive silver coil receiver.
Example 3
A method for monitoring the postoperative position of an intervertebral fusion cage specifically comprises the following steps:
the magnetic fluid of the nano magnetic ferrite with the mass percent of 72 percent is fixed in the current commercial interbody fusion cage by a physical wrapping technology, the outside of the magnetic fluid is wrapped by medical polyurethane polymer, and the reaction between biological tissues and the interbody fusion cage is blocked to form the magnetoelectric interbody fusion cage 2.
A 300-turn coil receiver of conductive polyaniline having a diameter of 5 cm was placed on the skin opposite the vertebrae.
After the fusion of the lumbar interbody fusion cage, the patient leans forward, the relative displacement of the inner permanent magnetic substance (magnetic neodymium iron boron block) relative to the coil outside the skin changes, so that the magnetic flux of the coil changes, and the induced voltage of 50 microvolts is monitored by the conductive polyaniline coil receiver. The patient leans back and an induced voltage of 123 microvolts is generated which is monitored by a conductive polyaniline coil receiver. If the magnetoelectric intervertebral fusion cage 2 falls off, the induced voltage of 1700-2000 microvolts is monitored by the conductive polyaniline coil receiver.
Example 4
As shown in fig. 1-2, a magnetoelectric intersomatic cage 2 includes an intersomatic cage body 5, the intersomatic cage body 5 being disposed between two adjacent vertebrae 1, a magnetic body 6 being disposed within the intersomatic cage body 5;
the magnetoelectric interbody fusion cage 2 is used for connecting two adjacent vertebra 1, and the magnetoelectric interbody fusion cage 2;
the signal receiver 4 is arranged on the outer side of the skin 3 (particularly back skin) on the outer side of the vertebra 1 and is used for being matched with the magnetic object 6 to generate induced current, when the interbody fusion cage body 5 deforms and/or moves, the induced current change generated when the magnetic object 6 relatively displaces relative to the signal receiver 4 is monitored, and therefore the spine bending degree of a patient can be early warned through electric signals, and the intervertebral disc displacement and the intervertebral disc falling can be prevented.
Example 5
The magnetoelectric interbody fusion cage 2 of embodiment 4 is used in the lumbar interbody fusion, specifically referring to fig. 1, which is a schematic diagram of the installation positions of the magnetoelectric interbody fusion cage 2 and the signal receiver 4, and after the operation, the magnetoelectric interbody fusion cage 2 is used to monitor whether the intervertebral disc is dislocated, and it should be noted that, in order to observe the state of the interbody fusion cage after the operation of the lumbar interbody fusion cage in the body of the patient, the current prior art generally uses the CT technology to shoot and observe. However, CT techniques are expensive, time consuming and require long waiting times. Therefore, there is a need to develop new non-CT techniques for real-time monitoring of the position of the interbody cage. At present, the method of installing the sensor in vitro (for example, the technical schemes disclosed in chinese patent nos. 2018218375284, 2012204108882, and 2017105307925) is adopted to monitor the physical form of the vertebra, but because the sensor is attached to the external skin by such a method, the situation that the intervertebral disc in the body bends along with the spine of the human body cannot be accurately reflected, and the falling situation of the intervertebral disc in the body cannot be accurately monitored. Currently, there is no report of monitoring the position of an interbody cage using electromagnetic induction effect.
After the magnetoelectric interbody fusion cage 2 is used in the lumbar interbody fusion surgery, the schematic diagram of the magnetoelectric interbody fusion cage 2 in the normal state is shown in fig. 3, and the schematic diagram of the magnetoelectric interbody fusion cage 2 in the falling state is shown in fig. 4. When the intervertebral fusion cage relatively slides or even falls off relative to the upper and lower vertebral bodies, the relative displacement of the permanent magnetic substance inside the intervertebral fusion cage relative to the coil outside the skin changes, and further when the intervertebral fusion cage relatively slides or even falls off, the magnetic flux of the coil changes, and the generated induced current is monitored.
Example 6
The magnetoelectric intersomatic cage 2 of example 4 was used in the lumbar interbody cage fusion, and after the operation, the degree of curvature of the spine was monitored by the magnetoelectric intersomatic cage 2, as shown in fig. 5, the magnetic intersomatic cage in the human vertebral body supine state (a view), normal state (b view) and anteverted state (c view) was changed. When the intervertebral fusion cage deforms along with the bending of the human vertebra, the relative displacement of the permanent magnetic substance inside the intervertebral fusion cage relative to the coil outside the skin changes, so that the magnetic flux of the coil changes, induced current is generated and monitored, and the state of the vertebra of a postoperative patient in the movement process is monitored.
