Problems solved by technology

However, at present, medical absorbable materials are mainly lactide polymers, glycolide polymers or their copolymers. These materials have the disadvantage of being hard and brittle, such as lactide polymer PLA, whose elongation at break is less than 10%. Notched impact strength below 5kJ / m 2 , lack of ductility and impact toughness, and poor flexibility. The interface screw sheath prepared by it is easy to crack during use, which will cause huge problems for both the doctor's operation and the patient's repair. Therefore, it needs to be modified. After improving the flexibility for the preparation of screw sheaths
For example, some scholars use PEG400 to carry out ring-opening polymerization with maleic anhydride and lactide to obtain PESL copolymers. Using 30wt% PESL for blending modified PLA, the elongation at break can be achieved in the presence of epoxy chain extender ADR. increased to 300%, but the strength of the modified material dropped from about 60MPa of PLA raw material to 24MPa

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of biomedical materials, and relates to a flexible absorbable composite interface screw sheath and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Cruciate ligament injury is a common injury of the knee joint. At present, the common treatment method for ligament injury is to use interface screws as fixators to fix the tendons and ligaments on the tunnel holes made in the bone in advance. However, the interface screw is very easy to cut the ligament during the implantation process, causing damage to the ligament. In order to reduce the ligament damage caused during the implantation process of the interface screw, the existing method is to use a sheathed interface screw. The sheath can form a protection between the interface screw and the ligament, so that the screw mainly cuts the sheath during extrusion, thereby reducing the damage to the ligament. [0003] Absorbable interfacial screw with good...
