[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present application to solve the technical problem is to provide a dynamic anterior cervical spine fixation plate, which comprises a first bone plate and a second bone plate, the first bone plate and the second bone plate are nested and connected in a limited extension and limited rotation manner, one end of the first bone plate corresponding to the second bone plate is provided with a connecting plate, both sides of the connecting plate are respectively provided with a hanging ear, the inside of the second bone plate is provided with a cavity accommodating the connecting plate, both sides of the cavity are respectively provided with a limiting sliding groove, the connecting plate is rotatably arranged in the cavity, and the hanging ear is sleeved in the limiting sliding groove in a limited sliding manner, and the first bone plate and the second bone plate are provided with fixing holes corresponding to each cervical spine segment to be fixed on the anterior cervical spine of a patient.

[0007] The front end of the connecting plate is provided as a smooth arc structure, the inside of the second bone plate is provided as a smooth arc structure at the end position of the cavity and can match the arc structure of the front end of the connecting plate to facilitate the lateral rotation of the connecting plate.

[0008] The end face of the second bone plate corresponding to the first bone plate is an opening structure of the cavity.

[0009] The first bone plate, the connecting plate and the hanging ear are an integral structure.

[0010] Beneficial effects

[0011] In this invention, the anterior cervical dynamic fixation plate is composed of a first bone plate and a second bone plate spliced ​​together. The first and second bone plates have fixation holes corresponding to the cervical vertebrae to be fixed in the anterior cervical path of the patient, so that the cervical vertebrae can be connected and fixed using the first and second bone plates. In addition, the first and second bone plates form a nested connection structure that can limit extension and rotation, which ensures the stability of the cervical vertebrae to be fixed while allowing the cervical vertebrae to have a certain range of extension and lateral bending activities, while avoiding excessive movement. This helps to reduce postoperative complications and preserve cervical spine motor function. Attached Figure Description
