[0054] The inner end of the artificial clavicle 2 is provided with a clavicle joint shaft 21 which cooperates with the sternum joint recess 110, the clavicle joint shaft 21 is a semi-spherical protrusion, constituting an artificial joint shaft;

[0055] The sternum joint recess 110 is in contact with the clavicle joint shaft 21, and forms a sternoclavicular joint 3, which is the only joint between the upper limb bones and the trunk bones, and is a complete joint disc, the sternoclavicular joint 3 can be connected with the sternum upper muscle group by a connecting piece 4 and a soft connection, to maintain the joint movement function;

[0057] The sternum stem 11 is provided with a first sternum connecting hole 12 on the side close to the sternum joint recess 110, the first sternum connecting hole 12 cooperates with the first clavicle connecting hole 22;

[0058] The first clavicle connecting hole 22 and the first sternum connecting hole 12 are connected by a connecting piece 4, which can be a ligament or a cable lock, wherein the ligament is an artificial ligament, and the cable lock is a metal cable lock, in order to better utilize the connecting piece 4 to connect the sternum joint recess 110 and the clavicle joint shaft 21, the first clavicle connecting hole 22 and the first sternum connecting hole 12 can be designed as inclined holes, if the first clavicle connecting hole 22 and the first sternum connecting hole 12 are both less than 2mm, the artificial ligament or cable will be affected, if the first clavicle connecting hole 22 and the first sternum connecting hole 12 are both greater than 4mm, the arrangement of other hole distances will be affected, therefore, the hole diameter of the artificial clavicle 2 connecting hole and the first clavicle connecting hole 22 is designed to be 2-4mm, which not only facilitates the artificial ligament or cable to pass through, thereby facilitating the operation of medical personnel, and further reducing the operation time, but also prevents affecting the arrangement of other hole distances;

[0063] If the width of the first rib segment 51 and the third rib segment 53 along the first direction X is less than 1.2 mm, the firmness of the first rib segment 51 and the third rib segment 53 cannot be guaranteed, and if the width of the first rib segment 51 and the third rib segment 53 along the first direction X is greater than 1.5 mm, the weight of the first rib segment 51 and the third rib segment 53 is increased, therefore, the width of the first rib segment 51 and the third rib segment 53 along the first direction X is designed to be 12-15 mm, which not only guarantees the firmness of the first rib segment 51 and the third rib segment 53, but also reduces the weight of the first rib segment 51 and the third rib segment 53, so that the artificial rib 5 fluctuates with the respiratory movement, thereby increasing the lung capacity;

[0064] If the width of the second rib segment 52 along the first direction X is less than 9 mm, the firmness of the second rib segment 52 cannot be guaranteed, and if the width of the second rib segment 52 along the first direction X is greater than 11 mm, the weight of the second rib segment 52 is increased, therefore, the width of the second rib segment 52 along the first direction X is designed to be 9-11 mm, which not only guarantees the firmness of the second rib segment 52, but also reduces the weight of the second rib segment 52, so that the artificial rib 5 fluctuates with the respiratory movement, thereby increasing the lung capacity.

[0065] In the second direction Y, the length L1 of the first rib segment 51 is less than the length L2 of the second rib segment 52, and the length L2 of the second rib segment 52 is less than the length L3 of the third rib segment 53, that is, the length L1 of the first rib segment 51 is the shortest, and the narrowing of the second rib segment 52 and the length reduction of the first rib segment 51 cooperate to simulate the human costal cartilage structure, so as to meet the biomechanical requirements and the reconstruction of anatomy and function;

[0066] The first rib segment 51 is connected to the left and right sides of the manubrium 11 and the sternum 15, respectively, for example, the outer end of the manubrium 11 is detachably connected to the first rib segment 51 of the first pair of artificial ribs 5; in the first direction, the outer end of the sternum 15 is detachably connected to the first rib segment 51 of the second pair of artificial ribs to the first rib segment 51 of the sixth pair of artificial ribs, for example, bolts (not shown in the figure) are used to connect the manubrium 11 and the first rib segment 51, and the sternum 15 and the first rib segment 51; the third rib segment 53 is connected to the normal rib stump (not shown in the figure) away from the artificial sternum 1, that is, the outer end of the third rib segment 53 is connected to the normal rib stump.

[0067] It should be noted that: continuing to refer to Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the combination device of the artificial sternum, the artificial clavicle and the artificial rib includes the combination between the manubrium 11 and the sternum 15, the combination between the manubrium and the artificial clavicle 2, and the combination between the artificial sternum 1 and the artificial rib 5. In clinical application, different implant devices are selected for implantation according to the defect site of the patient's chest and rib and clavicle and the defect area, so as to achieve personalized and precise customization, thereby eliminating the disadvantages of lack of repair and reconstruction materials after large-area resection of bone tissue by a clinician, so as to completely eradicate the lesion and be beneficial to prolong the life of the patient.

[0068] In addition, appropriate artificial sternums 1 and artificial clavicles 2 can also be selected flexibly, which conforms to the physiological function of the sternoclavicular joint, and the reconstructed sternoclavicular joint has up-down, left-right and small-range joint movement functions, which does not affect the life quality of the patient. It can be understood that: the reconstruction of the above-mentioned sternoclavicular joint 3 is designed according to the structure and function of the human sternoclavicular joint, which meets the biomechanical requirements and anatomical structure of the human body;

[0069] As can be seen from the above embodiment, the combination device of the artificial sternum, the artificial clavicle and the artificial rib provided by the embodiment at least achieves the following beneficial effects:

[0070] The connection between the artificial sternum 1 and the artificial clavicle 2 and the connection between the artificial sternum 1 and the artificial rib 5 can not only simulate the anatomical form and biological characteristics of the human sternum, clavicle and rib, but also restore the anatomical function of the sternoclavicular joint and the chest rib, so as to achieve personalized and precise customization, stabilize the thoracic shape, restore the normal physiological shape of the thoracic shape, and protect the respiratory and cardiac functions, thereby improving the quality of life. In addition, the upper edge of the sternum handle 11 is designed with a sternum joint recess 110 on both sides, and the inner end of the artificial clavicle 2 is provided with a clavicle joint shaft 21 matched with the sternum joint recess 110. The sternum joint recess 110 is in contact with the clavicle joint shaft 21, and forms a sternoclavicular joint 3. The sternoclavicular joint 3 is connected between the artificial sternum 1 and the artificial clavicle 2, which can more effectively stabilize the thoracic shape and structure, prevent injury to the subclavian vein and innominate vein, and protect the thoracic orifice passage. In addition, it is simple and easy to use, stable and reliable in quality, meets the biomechanical requirements and anatomical and functional reconstruction, and can also maintain the joint activity function by using the sternoclavicular joint 3.

[0071] In one embodiment, continuing to refer to Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the clavicle joint shaft 21 is also provided with a second clavicle connecting hole 23 arranged along the first direction X on the side close to the first clavicle connecting hole 22. The diameter of the second clavicle connecting hole 23 is 2.5-3 mm.

[0072] Specifically, the clavicle joint shaft 21 is also provided with a second clavicle connecting hole 23 arranged along the first direction X on the side close to the first clavicle connecting hole 22. The second clavicle connecting hole 23 is a backup hole for connecting the artificial clavicle. Through the second clavicle connecting hole 23, the connection of the sternoclavicular joint 3 can be further reinforced in case of accident. The number of the second clavicle connecting hole 23 is 3, and the three second clavicle connecting holes 23 are arranged along the first direction X.

[0073] If the diameter of the second clavicle connecting hole 23 is less than 2.5 mm, the artificial ligament or cable will be affected. If the diameter of the second clavicle connecting hole 23 is greater than 3 mm, the arrangement of other hole distances will be affected. Therefore, the diameter of the second clavicle connecting hole 23 is designed to be 2.5-3 mm, which can not only avoid the passing of the artificial ligament or cable, but also avoid affecting the arrangement of other hole distances.

[0074] In one embodiment, continuing to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the artificial clavicle 2 is provided with a third clavicle connecting hole 24 arranged along the second direction Y on the side away from the clavicle joint shaft 21. The diameter of the third clavicle connecting hole is 3.0-4.0 mm.

[0075] Specifically, the third clavicle connecting holes 24 are arranged on the side of the artificial clavicle 2 away from the clavicular joint axis 21 along the second direction Y. The third clavicle connecting holes 24 not only reduce the overall weight of the artificial clavicle 2, but also facilitate the embedding of the sternalis group into the third clavicle connecting holes 24. In addition, the third clavicle connecting holes 24 are used to fix the artificial clavicle 2 to the normal clavicle stump. It should be noted that the number of the third clavicle connecting holes 24 is determined according to the length of the artificial clavicle 2, which is not described here.

[0076] If the diameter of the third clavicle connecting hole is less than 3.0 mm, the effect of reducing the weight of the artificial clavicle 2 cannot be achieved. If the diameter of the third clavicle connecting hole is greater than 4.0 mm, the muscle tissue cannot be embedded into the artificial clavicle 2 (prosthesis), thereby resulting in poor tissue compatibility. Therefore, the diameter of the third clavicle connecting hole is designed to be 3.0 mm-4.0 mm, which not only reduces the weight of the artificial clavicle 2, but also facilitates the embedding of the muscle tissue into the artificial clavicle 2 (prosthesis), thereby resulting in good tissue compatibility.

[0077] In one embodiment, continuing to refer to FIGS. 1-3, Figure 1 and Figure 2 the sternal handle 11 is provided with at least one sternalis group connecting hole 14 on the side close to the concave surface 13, and the sternalis group connecting holes 14 are arranged along the second direction Y.

[0078] Specifically, the sternal handle 11 is provided with a plurality of sternalis group connecting holes 14, such as three sternalis group connecting holes 14, on the side close to the concave surface 13, and the sternalis group connecting holes 14 are arranged along the second direction Y. The number of the sternalis group connecting holes 14 can be adjusted according to the width of the sternal handle 11 along the second direction Y. The sternalis group connecting holes 14 can be inclined holes, which facilitate the embedding of the sternalis group into the artificial clavicle 2 and are more conducive to tissue compatibility.

[0079] In one embodiment, continuing to refer to FIGS. 1-3, Figure 6 the first rib segment 51 is provided with at least one first rib connecting hole 510 arranged along the second direction Y; the second rib segment 52 is provided with a second rib connecting hole 520 extending along the second direction Y; and the third rib segment 53 is provided with at least one third rib connecting hole 530 arranged along the second direction Y.

[0080] Specifically, the first rib segment 51 is provided with a first rib connecting hole 510 arranged along the second direction Y, and the diameter of the first rib connecting hole 510 is 2.5-3.5 mm, which is beneficial for the bolt (not shown in the figure) to pass through, facilitates the fixation of the first rib segment 51 with the sternum stem 11 or the sternum body 15, and facilitates the arrangement of the hole pitch. The number of the first rib connecting hole 510 can be one or two. When the first rib connecting hole 510 is two, the first first rib connecting hole 510 (the first rib connecting hole 510 close to the side of the artificial sternum 1) can fix the first rib segment 51 with the sternum stem 11 or the sternum body 15, and the second first rib connecting hole 510 (the first rib connecting hole 510 away from the side of the artificial sternum 1) is a spare hole to prevent accidental reinforcement of the connection of the sternum stem 11 or the sternum body 15.

[0081] The second rib segment 52 is provided with a second rib connecting hole 520 extending along the second direction Y. The second rib connecting hole 520 not only achieves the effect of weight reduction and thinning of the second rib segment 52, but also facilitates the muscle tissue to be embedded in the second rib connecting hole 520, thereby more effectively fixing the artificial rib 5. The second rib connecting hole 520 can be oval or rectangular, and the specific shape can be set according to the actual situation. If the length of the second rib connecting hole 520 extending along the second direction Y is less than 3 mm, the purpose of weight reduction and thinning cannot be achieved. If the length of the second rib connecting hole 520 extending along the second direction Y is greater than 30 mm, the second rib segment 52 is not firm. Therefore, the length of the second rib connecting hole 520 extending along the second direction Y is designed to be 3-30 mm, which not only achieves the purpose of weight reduction and thinning, but also facilitates the firmness of the second rib segment 52.

[0082] The third rib segment 53 is provided with a plurality of third rib connecting holes 530 arranged along the second direction Y. The third rib connecting hole 530 not only reduces the overall weight of the artificial rib 5, but also facilitates the muscle to be embedded in the third rib connecting hole 530, and simultaneously utilizes part of the third rib connecting hole 530 to fix and connect the artificial rib 5 with the normal rib stump.

[0083] It should be noted that the above description continues to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the fourth sternal connecting holes 18 are arranged along the first direction on the outer side of the sternal stem 11 and the sternal body 15, and the fourth sternal connecting holes 18 are matched with the first rib connecting holes 510, and the sternal stem 11 and the first rib segment 51, and the sternal body 15 and the first rib segment 51 are fixedly connected by bolts in turn through the first rib connecting holes 510 and the fourth sternal connecting holes 18; the first rib connecting holes 510 and the fourth sternal connecting holes 18 can be straight holes, which is conducive to the bolts through the first rib connecting holes 510 and the fourth sternal connecting holes 18, so as to fix and connect the sternal stem 11 and the first rib segment 51, and the sternal body 15 and the first rib segment 51.

[0084] In one embodiment, continuing to refer to Figure 6 As shown, the first rib segment 51 and the third rib segment 53 have the same thickness along the third direction Z, and the thickness of the second rib segment 52 along the third direction Z is less than the thickness of the first rib segment 51 along the third direction Z, and the third direction Z intersects the first direction X and the second direction Y.

[0085] Specifically, the thickness of the first rib segment 51 along the third direction Z is δ3, the thickness of the third rib segment 53 along the third direction Z is δ4, and the thickness of the second rib segment 52 along the third direction Z is δ5, wherein δ3=δ4, δ5<δ3, and the third direction Z intersects the first direction X and the second direction Y. By adopting this scheme, the second rib segment 52 is further thinned on the basis of narrowing, cooperates with the first rib segment 51, and more effectively simulates the human rib cartilage structure, so as to meet the biomechanical requirements and the reconstruction of anatomy and function;

[0086] If the thickness of the first rib segment 51 and the third rib segment 53 along the third direction Z is less than 1.5 mm, the firmness of the first rib segment 51 and the third rib segment 53 cannot be guaranteed, and if the thickness of the first rib segment 51 and the third rib segment 53 along the third direction Z is greater than 2 mm, the weight of the first rib segment 51 and the third rib segment 53 is increased, thereby increasing the overall weight of the artificial rib 5. Therefore, the thickness of the first rib segment 51 and the third rib segment 53 along the third direction Z is designed to be 1.5-2 mm, which not only guarantees the firmness of the first rib segment 51 and the third rib segment 53, but also is conducive to reducing the weight of the first rib segment 51 and the third rib segment 53, thereby reducing the overall weight of the artificial rib 5, and further the artificial rib 5 can fluctuate with respiration, thereby increasing the lung capacity;

[0087] If the thickness of the second rib segment 52 along the third direction Z is less than 0.9 mm, the firmness of the second rib segment 52 cannot be guaranteed, and if the thickness of the second rib segment 52 along the third direction Z is greater than 1.2 mm, the weight of the second rib segment 52 is increased. Therefore, the thickness of the second rib segment 52 along the third direction Z is designed to be between 0.9 mm and 1.2 mm, which not only guarantees the firmness of the second rib segment 52, but also reduces the weight of the second rib segment 52.

[0088] In an embodiment, continuing to refer to Figure 5 As shown in the drawings, along the third direction Z, the thickness of the artificial clavicle 2 near the sternoclavicular joint recess 110 is greater than the thickness of the artificial clavicle 2 away from the sternoclavicular joint recess 110, and the third direction Z intersects the first direction X and the second direction Y.

[0089] Specifically, the thickness of the artificial clavicle 2 near the sternoclavicular joint recess 110 along the third direction Z is δ1, and the thickness of the artificial clavicle 2 away from the sternoclavicular joint recess 110 along the third direction Z is δ2, where δ1>δ2, that is, the thickness of the proximal end of the artificial clavicle 2 along the third direction Z is greater than the thickness of the distal end of the artificial clavicle 2 along the third direction Z. With this scheme, under the premise of guaranteeing the firmness of the artificial clavicle 2, not only can the weight of the artificial clavicle 2 be reduced, but also the plasticity and fixation of the artificial clavicle 2 during surgery are facilitated.

[0090] Alternatively, along the third direction Z, the thickness of the artificial clavicle 2 gradually decreases, which can be understood as: gradually thinning from the proximal end of the artificial clavicle 2 to the distal end of the artificial clavicle 2, that is, the proximal end of the artificial clavicle 2 to the distal end of the artificial clavicle 2 is gradually tapered; With this scheme, not only can the firmness of the artificial clavicle 2 be guaranteed, but also the distal end of the artificial clavicle 2 can be thinned, thereby more facilitating the plasticity and fixation of the artificial clavicle 2 during surgery;

[0091] Of course, the proximal end of the artificial clavicle 2 to the distal end of the artificial clavicle 2 can also be thinned, such as along the first direction X, the width of the artificial clavicle 2 near the clavicular joint axis 21 is greater than the width of the artificial clavicle 2 near the clavicular joint axis 21, and in addition, along the first direction X, the width of the artificial clavicle 2 gradually decreases; gradually narrowing and thinning the width and thickness of the artificial clavicle 2 from the proximal end to the distal end, under the premise of guaranteeing the firmness of the artificial clavicle 2, gradually reducing the weight of the artificial clavicle 2 and the distal end of the artificial clavicle 2 after being thinned and narrowed, more facilitating the plasticity and fixation of the artificial clavicle 2 during surgery.
