A damage control external fixator

Abstract

The invention discloses an injury control external fixator, comprising a proximal fixing plate, a distal fixing plate, a plurality of connection rods and a plurality of clamps. The proximal fixing plate and the distal fixing plate are provided respectively with a plurality of screw holes having an internal thread, and grooves for fitting the connection rods; each clamp includes an upper clamping portion and a lower clamping portion; the clamps enable the connection rods on the proximal fixing plate and the distal fixing plate to be jointly fixed to a point. The injury control external fixatorhas the advantages that higher structural rigidity is gained via the use of single-side long-span structure, surgical fixation is simple to perform, a limb with severe injury can be quickly stabilized, and hemorrhage and secondary injury can be lessened; screws are mounted on the fixator far away from the injured part, so that iatrogenic injury and infection risk of soft tissues due to traditionalscrew holes can be avoided; the fixator is well compatible with steel plates, intramedullary nails and otherness in terms of internal fixation and is highly worthy of clinical popularization.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of medical operation instruments, in particular to a damage control external fixation bracket. Background technique [0002] Open fractures of the tibia and fibula caused by high-energy injuries, the limbs are extremely unstable, the soft tissues and main blood vessels and nerves are in a high-risk state or have been damaged, and even on the verge of traumatic amputation. The most fundamental measures of limb salvage surgery are to quickly stabilize the limbs, protect the bones and soft tissues, establish a stable biomechanical environment as soon as possible to facilitate the repair of soft tissue injuries, reduce local traumatic inflammatory reactions through braking, effectively control wound bleeding, and maintain brain and kidney function. Effective circulatory perfusion of vital organs such as blood vessels, reducing the risk of systemic inflammatory reactions. Therefore, in the trauma first aid of high-energy ...

Problems solved by technology

However, there are many problems in the traditional external fixation technology, so its clinical application has been questioned

First, the structure of the traditional external fixator device is complicated, and the installation and operation procedures are cumbersome; second, the bone needle track of the external fixator communicates with the skin around the fracture, which may cause deep infection and even osteomyelitis; third, the external fixator Bone needles need to be placed percutaneously, which may further aggravate the damage of the skin and soft tissue around the fracture. Fourth, the distribution of bone needles in traditional external fixation technology is relatively scattered, and the compatibility with plate minimally invasive internal fixation and intramedullary nailing technology is not ideal. Internal fixation treatment for patients who have been fixed will be hindered by the space of the bracket, and the operation is inconvenient

[0004] The distribution of spicules in the existing external fixation technology for bone injuries is scattered, mainly because the stability of external fixation is not as good as that of plate fixation, so it is necessary to implant multiple spicules into the diaphysis and epiphysis to ensure the stability of the system

And if the span at both ends is too long, the existing fixing brackets cannot be firmly fixed
