Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to an extendable intramedullary nail. BACKGROUND

[0002] The extendable intramedullary nail system is a commonly used internal fixation system for correcting lower limb deformities in children at present, and is mainly applied to lower limb deformities in children caused by osteogenesis imperfecta, sequelae of rickets, congenital tibial pseudoarthrosis and the like. The commonly used extendable intramedullary nail system at present is the Fassier-Duval system, the distal end of the child nail of which is designed to be driven into the epiphysis, and the distal end of the child nail is fixed in the epiphysis by using the mutual embedding and friction force of the thread and the epiphysis, so that the child nail moves to the distal end along with the growth of the growth plate, the overlapping part of the child nail and the parent nail is reconstructed and reduced, and thus the entire femur or tibia is maintained stable by internal fixation. However, in the clinical practice and literature reports, the child nail still appears to be loose in some cases (13%), and moves to the proximal end along with the growth of the growth plate. Especially when the tibial deformity correction is applied to children of a smaller age, because the space of the distal epiphysis is smaller, part of the thread at the distal end of the child nail remains in the growth plate or even the metaphysis, which significantly weakens the control force of the epiphysis on the child nail, and the possibility of proximal migration of the child nail is significantly increased.

[0003] Other extendable intramedullary nail internal fixation systems mainly include the Sheffield system and the Dyna locking system. The distal end of the child nail of the Sheffield system is a fixed T-shaped structure, and the distal joint needs to be opened during the operation to install and remove the T-shaped structure at the distal end of the child nail, thereby causing damage to the articular cartilage. The Dyna locking system needs to drive a Kirschner wire into the distal epiphysis to pass through the hole at the distal end of the child nail to fix the child nail. The Kirschner wire may be withdrawn or loose, and the Kirschner wire may pass through the growth plate and enter the metaphysis. The possible reasons include that the smooth Kirschner wire does not have enough holding force on the cancellous bone of the epiphysis, and the relative positions of the nail hole and the Kirschner wire at the distal end of the nail change during the growth of the bone, which is easy to cause relative sliding and thus lead to the withdrawal or proximal cutting of the Kirschner wire into the metaphysis.

[0004] The commonly used extendable intramedullary nail fixation systems all have the problem of fixing the distal end of the child nail.

[0005] Therefore, it is an important technical problem for those skilled in the art to provide an extendable intramedullary nail with good use effect. SUMMARY
