Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pedicle screw implantation surgical instruments, in particular to a pedicle screw implantation guide. Background Art

[0002] Pedicle screw implantation, also known as pedicle screw internal fixation, is a commonly used technique in spinal surgery, mainly used to treat lumbar disc herniation, lumbar fracture, lumbar degenerative disease, etc. The main purpose of pedicle screw implantation is to fix the diseased intervertebral disc segment with pedicle screws while surgically removing the diseased intervertebral disc or treating other spinal problems, so as to achieve the effects of fixing and fusing the segment, reducing low back pain, spinal degeneration, and recurrence of intervertebral disc herniation. During the operation, the doctor will confirm the spinal segment that needs surgery, that is, the responsible segment, through physical examination, imaging data, and on-site fluoroscopy. Through an appropriate surgical approach (such as the cruciate method or the miter crest method), the vertebral arch that needs surgery is exposed, and then a screw of appropriate length is inserted into the pedicle.

[0003] The current screw insertion process is to install an angle measuring instrument on the guide rod for implanting the screw. For example, there is a sliding ball inside the measuring instrument. Under the action of gravity, when the guide rod changes direction, the ball will move. The angle between the guide rod and the gravity plumb line is converted by the movement distance of the ball. The appropriate screw placement direction is estimated based on this angle. The existing method uses the gravity plumb line as a reference to estimate the direction of the pedicle, but the angle between the pedicle and the gravity plumb line is not fixed. If the patient's posture is incorrect, or the vertebral body rotates further after surgical anesthesia, the angle between the pedicle and the gravity plumb line measured before the operation cannot be used to estimate the angle between the pedicle and the gravity plumb line during the operation. As a result, the pedicle direction estimated by this method is inaccurate. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention provides a pedicle screw implantation guide to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. It is particularly suitable for patients with scoliosis who have vertebral rotation. Because vertebral rotation in scoliosis patients makes it easier to implant screws on the convex side, while more difficult to implant screws on the concave side, the convex screw can be implanted first, and then the concave screw can be implanted using the present invention, based on the screw's direction.

[0023] The present invention provides a pedicle screw implantation guide 100. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The pedicle screw implantation guide 100 includes a fixed guide rod 110, a sliding guide rod 120, and a moving assembly 130. A positioning member 111 is provided at one end of the fixed guide rod 110, which is used to align with the tail of an implanted screw. The length of the fixed guide rod 110 is aligned with the length of the screw. The sliding guide rod 120 includes a first sliding member 121, which guides the fixed guide rod 110. The sliding guide rod 120 is arranged perpendicular to the fixed guide rod 110. The moving assembly 130 includes a moving guide rod 131, a changing guide rod 132, an angle measuring member 133 and a second sliding member 134. The moving guide rod 131 is fixed on the second sliding member 134. The second sliding member 134 is guided and cooperated with the sliding guide rod 120. The length direction of the moving guide rod 131 is parallel to the length direction of the fixed guide rod 110. The angle measuring member 133 is set on the moving guide rod 131. The changing guide rod 132 is rotatably connected to the moving guide rod 131 through a rotating shaft. When the changing guide rod 132 rotates, it is set at an angle to the moving guide rod 131.

[0024] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: during use of the guide, a pedicle screw is first implanted into one side of the vertebral body, and then the fixed guide rod 110 is connected to the tail of the pedicle screw that has been implanted on one side of the vertebral body through the positioning member 111, so that the direction of the guide rod is consistent with the direction of the pedicle screw on that side; after fixation, the mobile guide rod 131 on the slide rail is moved so that the bottom end of the mobile guide rod 131 contacts the vertebral articular process on the other side (that is, the side where the screw has not yet been implanted); after contact, the changing guide rod 132 on the mobile guide rod 131 is rotated, and the angle measuring member 133 on the mobile guide rod 131 is measured so that the angle between the changing guide rod 132 and the mobile guide rod 131 is equal to the angle between the pedicles on both sides. At this time, the direction of the changing guide rod 132 is the direction of the pedicle on the side where the screw is not implanted, and this direction will be used as a reference for implanting the screw on that side. In this process, the structural design of the guide ensures that no matter how the fixed guide rod 110 moves, the mobile guide rod 131 is always parallel to the fixed guide rod 110. This guide is unaffected by factors such as patient posture and surgical anesthesia when determining pedicle orientation, resulting in more accurate screw placement. Because the patient's bony structure remains unchanged before and during surgery, the angle between the pedicles on either side of the same vertebra remains constant. Therefore, this guide uses the orientation of one pedicle as a reference to determine the direction of the other pedicle, resulting in more accurate positioning and improved surgical efficiency and effectiveness.

[0025] In one embodiment, see Figure 1A stabilizing block 112 is provided at one end of the fixed guide rod 110 .

[0031] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: when the sliding guide rod 120 moves to a preset position, the relative position of the sliding guide rod 120 and the fixed guide rod 110 can be fixed by the first fastener 122, thereby facilitating operation.

[0032] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The end of the movable guide rod 131 away from the angle measuring member 133 is provided with a contact tip 136, and the contact tip 136 contacts the vertebral articular process.

[0033] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are: the contact point of the contact tip 136 is smaller, which can be positioned more accurately, thereby improving positioning accuracy.

[0034] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The second sliding member 134 is a sliding sleeve, and the second sliding member 134 is sleeved outside the sliding guide rod 120 and slidably matched.

[0035] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are: easy sliding, strong structural stability, easy use, and no falling off.

[0036] In one embodiment, the second sliding member 134 is further provided with a second fastener 135, and the second sliding member 134 is fastened to the sliding guide rod 120 via the second fastener 135. For example, the second fastener 135 is a fixing bolt.

[0037] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: when the movable guide rod 131 moves to the preset position of the sliding guide rod 120, the relative position of the sliding guide rod 120 and the movable guide rod 131 can be fixed by the second fastener 135, thereby facilitating operation.

[0038] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 An end of the guide rod 132 close to the angle measuring member 133 is provided with an indicating tip 137 .

[0039] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are: more accurate indication and higher angle measurement accuracy.

[0041] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are: it is compatible with current pedicle screws and has strong positioning stability.

[0042] In one embodiment, the angle measuring member 133 is disposed bilaterally symmetrically with respect to the length direction of the movable guide rod 131. Specifically, the angle measuring member 133 is semicircular.

[0043] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are: ensuring consistent angles when offsetting left and right, facilitating observation, and improving usage efficiency.
