Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a bone implantation aid. Background Art

[0002] Anterior cruciate ligament injury is a relatively common orthopedic disease. In the United States alone, there are about 200,000 patients with anterior cruciate ligament injury each year. The accompanying knee stability is greatly reduced, affecting the patient's quality of life and exercise level. In addition, the injury will cause severe atrophy of the muscles of the affected lower limb, resulting in a further decrease in knee stability, increasing the chance of injury to other stable structures of the knee joint, and further accelerating the process of knee degenerative changes. Therefore, early anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is urgent, but the incidence of graft failure after reconstruction is 2% to 28%, especially in young and active patients. Once the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery fails, the situation after the initial injury will occur again, and patients are generally recommended to undergo anterior cruciate ligament revision surgery. Depending on the size and position of the previous bone tunnel, as well as other factors such as the force line of the lower limb, cartilage and meniscus, and the preferences of the patient and surgeon, anterior cruciate ligament revision surgery can be divided into primary surgery and secondary surgery. Generally speaking, if the size or position of the previous bone tunnel prevents the placement and fixation of the graft, a secondary revision surgery is required. In the first stage of the second-stage revision surgery, the previous graft and fixation materials are removed and bone grafting is performed on the tunnel to provide sufficient bone bed for the second-stage reconstruction surgery. Usually after 4-6 months, the bone graft heals and the second-stage reconstruction surgery is performed.

[0003] However, during the first stage of bone grafting, since both ends of the enlarged bone tunnel are open, bone grafting materials such as autologous bone particles and allogeneic bone particles will be squeezed out from the other end of the bone tunnel after being pressed and implanted from one end of the bone tunnel. As a result, the bone grafting materials and the host bone cannot be pressed and compacted together well, resulting in insufficient bone grafting, which in turn affects the second stage of reconstructive surgery.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a technology or device that can compress and graft bones in the enlarged tunnel in a simple and efficient manner to fully fill the bone tunnel and thus reduce the impact on further surgery is a technical problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the invention

When in use, the bone graft particles are placed in the sleeve 3, and the sleeve 3 is used to introduce the bone graft particles into the medullary canal, and the bone graft particles are gradually pressed and compacted by the pressing rod. Because the pressure plate 1 blocks the inner opening of the medullary canal, the bone graft particles will not be squeezed out from the inner opening of the medullary canal during the pressing and compacting process. Therefore, when the device is used to assist in pressing the bone graft, the bone graft material can be prevented from being squeezed out from the inner opening of the bone tunnel, thereby well pressing and compacting the bone graft material and the host bone together.

[0025] Furthermore, the lengths of the bone tunnels of different patients are different. Therefore, in order to facilitate compression and bone grafting of different bone marrow canals, one end of the connecting handle 2 is slidably connected to the sleeve 3 along the axial direction of the sleeve 3 to adjust the distance between the sleeve 3 and the pressure plate 1. In addition, the connecting handle 2 and the sleeve 3 can be locked and fixed by a locking device 7. After the distance adjustment is completed, the locking device 7 is used to lock the sleeve 3 to the connecting handle 2.

[0026] Furthermore, the side of the compression plate 1 facing the medullary canal is an arc-shaped surface, which better fits the inner opening of the medullary canal and enhances the blocking effect.

[0027] Furthermore, the middle part of the connecting handle 2 is arc-shaped and is made of an arc-shaped column. The end of the connecting handle 2 used to connect to the pressure plate 1 is a straight end, and the axis of the straight end coincides with the central axis of the pressure plate 1. The connecting handle 2 under this structure can better press the pressure plate 1 against the inner opening of the medullary canal.

[0028] Furthermore, the sleeve 3 is a cylindrical sleeve 3 , a slide rail 5 along the axial direction of the sleeve 3 is arranged on the outer wall of the sleeve 3 , a slider 6 is arranged at one end of the connecting handle 2 connected to the sleeve 3 , and the slider 6 is slidably connected to the slide rail 5 .

[0029] Furthermore, the slide rail 5 is a slide groove arranged on the outer wall of the sleeve 3, the cross-section of the slide groove is trapezoidal, the large end of the slide groove is close to the sleeve 3, and the small end of the slide groove is an open end 8; the slider 6 includes an internal part and an external part, the internal part is clamped in the slide groove, the external part is located outside the slide groove, the internal part and the external part are fixedly connected, the external part is fixedly arranged on the connecting handle 2, the edge of the slide groove is clamped between the internal part and the external part, the internal part is trumpet-shaped, and the internal part can only slide along the length direction of the slide groove, and cannot slip out of the slide groove.

[0030] Furthermore, the locking device 7 includes a screw, which is inserted into the slider along an axial direction perpendicular to the sleeve 3. The screw is threadedly connected to the slider. Rotating the screw can make the end of the screw without a nut press against the inner wall of the sleeve 3, thereby fixing the sleeve 3 and the connecting handle 2.

[0031] Furthermore, a bone grafting window 4 is provided on the sleeve 3, which is provided at one end of the sleeve 3 away from the pressure plate 1. The bone grafting window 4 is located at 1 / 3 of the sleeve 3 near the end of the sleeve 3, and the axis of the sleeve 3 coincides with the central axis of the pressure plate 1.

[0032] The specific application process is as follows:

[0033] When performing anterior cruciate ligament revision surgery, after removing the remaining graft and fixing materials in advance, hold the connecting handle 2, insert the pressure plate 1 into the knee joint cavity, press the pressure plate 1 on the inner opening of the bone tunnel, slide the sleeve 3, place one end of the sleeve 3 at the outer opening of the bone tunnel, adjust the appropriate angle, and make the bone grafting window 4 face upwards. At this time, tighten the screws to fix the position of the connecting handle 2 and the sleeve 3, place the matching pressing rod at the starting end of the sleeve 3, and then place the bone grafting particles into the sleeve 3 through the bone grafting window 4. At this time, tap the pressing rod to gradually graft the bone tunnel.

[0034] The present invention uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The above examples are only used to help understand the method and core ideas of the present invention. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the ideas of the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope.
