Locking external fixator for clavicle fracture treatment

Abstract

The invention relates to a locking external fixator for clavicle fracture treatment and belongs to the technical field of medical instruments.The locking external fixator for clavicle fracture treatment comprises an S-like cylindrical frame or rectangular frame and a plurality of facture fixing screws, and the frame is formed by connecting an oblique segment, a linear segment and a V-shaped bent segment; wherein two sides of the oblique segment and V-shaped bent segment of the frame are transversely provided with a plurality of screw holes equal in diameter; the screw holes of the frame match with threads of the screws, the facture fixing screws are fastened in the screw holes and integrally connected with the frame, and the heads of the fracture fixing screws are fixed to fractured clavicle.The locking external fixator is an external fixation structure, so that invasion is minimal with little bleeding, an incision is diminished multiply, small scarf is left, and attractiveness is guaranteed; surgery complications are reduced significantly; the risk of secondary surgery is avoided, the fixator is small in size and light in weight, screw pass injury is little, screw pass complications are few, and recovery of a patient is facilitated; surgical safety is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a locking external fixation device for treating clavicular fractures, belonging to the technical field of medical instruments. Background technique [0002] Clavicle fracture is a common fracture. Surgical treatment is one of the main treatment methods. The purpose of treatment is to reduce and fix the fracture site. The fixation method mainly adopts internal fixation. Internal fixation using steel plates and screws as materials is currently the main clinical treatment method. The disadvantages of traditional internal fixation are large surgical trauma, long incision, and obvious scars. After the fracture heals, the internal fixation plate is located under the skin, which is very obvious. , and often requires a second operation to remove it; due to the irregular shape of the clavicle and the large variation, it is difficult to shape the steel plate during the operation. Significantly increased surgical risks. Contents of the...
