Distal Femoral Rotation Positioner

Abstract

The invention provides a distal femoral rotary positioner. The positioner is of a frame-type metal structure and comprises two epicondyle positioning discs used for positioning and respectively fixed to the inner epicondyle and the outer epicondyle of the femur, one Insall cross rod for indicating an Insall line, one pointer rod, one Whiteside indicating needle for observing the trochlear groove and fossa intercondyloidea, one posterior condyle cross rod for positioning and indicating a posterior condyle line, two posterior condyle supporting plates for positioning the space position of the posterior condyle, two supporting rods connected with the Insall cross rod, the pointer rod and the posterior condyle cross rod, and two locking screws for positioning and locking the epicondyle positioning discs on the Insall cross rod. After the structures are positioned according to respective correct osseous anatomy markers, the structures are connected and fixed to form one metal frame structure by using locking screws, and the structure is used for accurately assisting rotary positioning after distal femoral osteotomy. The distal femoral rotary positioner is simple in structure, quick and convenient to operate, visual in indication and small in occupied space, facilitates minimally invasive operation and can accurately assist rotary positioning after distal femoral osteotomy.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of rotational positioning of a prosthesis on the osteotomy surface of the distal femur in knee joint surgery, and in particular relates to a rotational positioner for the distal femur. Background technique [0002] Artificial total knee replacement is currently the best way to treat end-stage knee diseases, such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases, and the correct placement of the femoral prosthesis is one of the key factors to ensure the surgical effect . At present, judging the correct position of the femoral prosthesis in clinical operations mainly depends on the experience of the operator and some bony anatomical landmarks. This has the disadvantages of inaccurate positioning, easy internal rotation or external rotation of the prosthesis, poor patellofemoral track, and anterior knee joints. The risk of complications such as pain will affect the surgical effect and patient satisfac...

Problems solved by technology

At present, judging the correct position of the femoral prosthesis in clinical operations mainly depends on the experience of the operator and some bony anatomical landmarks. This has the disadvantages of inaccurate positioning, easy internal rotation or external rotation of the prosthesis, poor patellofemoral track, and anterior knee joints. Risk of complications such as pain, affecting surgical effect and patient satisfaction

At present, there is no instrument device that can assist the surgeon in the rotational positioning of the femoral prosthesis during the operation
