[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0023] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.
[0024] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment discloses a tibial osteotomy positioner, comprising a telescopic rod, and also comprising a positioning assembly 1, an ankle hugger 2 and an inclination adjustment assembly 3 installed on the telescopic rod. The ankle hugger 2 can be purchased on the market. The telescopic rod is vertically arranged, and the telescopic rod comprises a fixed rod 4 and a movable rod 5. The top end of the fixed rod 4 is inserted into the inner hole of the movable rod 5 (or the bottom end of the movable rod 5 is inserted into the inner hole of the fixed rod 4). A first adjusting screw 6 is installed in the transverse threaded hole on the movable rod 5. One end of the first adjusting screw 6 is against the fixed rod 4. By rotating the first adjusting screw 6, the length of the fixed rod 4 inserted into the inner hole of the movable rod 5 can be adjusted, thereby achieving adjustable length of the telescopic rod.
[0025] The positioning assembly 1 comprises a horizontally arranged guide rail 7 mounted at the top end of the fixed rod 4, a positioning block 8 slidingly arranged on the guide rail 7, a plurality of positioning pins 9 mounted at the bottom surface of the positioning block 8, and a third adjusting screw 10 threadedly mounted on the positioning block 8 and abutting against the guide rail 7 at one end. By loosening the third adjusting screw 10, the position of the positioning block 8 on the guide rail 7 can be changed. Specifically, the guide rail 7 in the embodiment is a T-shaped guide rail 7, and the positioning block 8 is provided with a T-shaped sliding groove, and the positioning block 8 is sleeved on the T-shaped guide rail 7 through the T-shaped sliding groove. According to the position of the tibial spine of the patient, the position of the positioning block 8 is adjusted by the third adjusting screw 10, so that the position of the positioning pins 9 is adjusted steplessly. In other embodiments, the guide rail 7 can also have other structures.
[0026] The inclination adjusting assembly 3 comprises a base 11, a knob 12, a second adjusting screw 13, a swing lever 14, a pressing plate 15, an osteotomy block mounting plate 17, a spring 18, and a clasp 19. The osteotomy block mounting plate 17 is provided with an interface 20 at one end for mounting an osteotomy block 16 (i.e. an osteotomy cutter), and the pressing plate 15 is hingedly connected to the osteotomy block mounting plate 17 at one end close to the interface 20 and is provided with a pressing portion 21 for pressing the osteotomy block 16. The pressing plate 15 and the osteotomy block mounting plate 17 are both provided with through holes for loosely sleeving on the movable rod 5, and the diameters of the through holes are greater than the outer diameter of the fixed rod 4, so that the pressing plate 15 and the osteotomy block mounting plate 17 have a space for tilting at a certain angle. The spring 18 abuts against one end of the pressing plate 15 away from the interface 20 and the osteotomy block mounting plate 17 at two ends, respectively. The spring 18 causes the one end of the pressing plate 15 away from the interface 20 to be raised, and the pressing portion 21 presses the osteotomy block 16. By pressing the pressing plate 15, the spring 18 is compressed, the osteotomy block 16 is released from the pressing of the pressing portion 21, and thus the osteotomy block 16 can be removed. In other embodiments, the osteotomy block 16 can also be fixed by other ways, for example, by screwing, and thus the pressing plate 15 and the spring 18 are not necessary.
[0027] The base 11 is sleeved on the movable rod 5, and the base 11 is provided with a transverse threaded hole. The second adjusting screw 13 is mounted in the transverse threaded hole and abuts against the movable rod 5 to lock the position of the base 11 on the movable rod 5. By loosening the second adjusting screw 13, the height of the base 11 on the movable rod 5 can be adjusted. The base 11 comprises a first base body 111 and a second base body 112. The outer diameter of the first base body 111 is greater than the outer diameter of the second base body 112. The knob 12 is sleeved on the second base body 112. The second base body 112 is provided with the clasp 19, and the bottom surface of the knob 12 abuts against the clasp 19. The top surface of the knob 12 abuts against the bottom surface of the first base body 111.
[0028] The top surface of the knob 12 is provided with an arcuate groove 22. The distance between this arcuate groove 22 and the knob 12's rotation center gradually increases from one end to the other. In other words, the arcuate groove 22 is a non-circular shape, such as a spiral or involute. A notch 113 is provided on the side of the first base 111. The rocker arm 14 is positioned within this notch 113. The upper end of the rocker arm 14 is fixedly connected to the osteotomy block mounting plate 17, while the lower end of the rocker arm 14 is inserted into the arcuate groove 22. The middle portion of the rocker arm 14 is movably connected to the first base 111 via a horizontally disposed pin 23. When the knob 12 is rotated, the lower end of the rocker arm 14 moves along the arcuate groove 22, which drives the lower end of the rocker arm 14 gradually away from or closer to the knob 12's rotation center, causing the rocker arm 14 to rotate about the pin 23. This causes the upper end of the rocker arm 14 to rotate the osteotomy block mounting plate 17, thereby adjusting the inclination angle of the osteotomy block 16, specifically the osteotomy tilt angle.
[0029] A positioning bead 24 is mounted on the top surface of the knob 12, and the bottom surface of the first base 111 is provided with a plurality of positioning holes 25 that match the positioning bead 24. By rotating the knob 12, the positioning bead 24 enters a different positioning hole 25, thereby controlling the degree of rotation of the knob 12. Each positioning hole 25 corresponds to a commonly used posterior tilt angle in tibial osteotomy surgery, such as 30° and 60°, and the knob is provided with scales corresponding to these angles.
[0030] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. These modifications or replacements do not deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention. Therefore, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
