Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of acetabular revision prosthesis technology, and in particular to a combined hip joint revision filling pad structure and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] Since the beginning of the 21st century, the number of total hip replacement surgeries worldwide has been increasing. As a result, the number of patients requiring hip prosthesis revision has also been increasing due to issues such as aseptic loosening of the prosthesis, periprosthetic osteolysis, wear particles in the liner, and infection.

[0003] Patients undergoing hip revision surgery often have severe and complex bone defects, which frequently occur above the acetabulum and can extend upwards to the ilium. Repairing periacetabular bone defects is fundamental to the success of hip revision surgery. Currently, for large periacetabular bone defects, prefabricated metal acetabular blocks are generally used for reconstruction, but they cannot perfectly match the original acetabular area morphologically and mechanically.

[0004] Meanwhile, the use of press-fit fixation for finished metal acetabular blocks, such as the method for acetabular bone defect reconstruction based on 3D printing disclosed in Chinese patent CN114259327A, leads to difficulties in acetabular block positioning and acetabular screw placement during surgery. It also fails to meet the needs of filling complex bone defects and supporting the acetabular cup, which can easily lead to loosening of the acetabular prosthesis, revision failure, and increased burden on patients and the medical system. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a combined hip joint revision filling pad structure and a method of use, which solves the problems of difficulty in positioning and screw placement of prefabricated metal acetabular pads in the prior art, and the inability to fill bone defects, which easily leads to loosening of the acetabular prosthesis.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present invention provides a combined hip joint revision filling pad structure, comprising:

[0043] Iliac wing assembly 1, the iliac wing assembly 1 includes an acetabular cup support portion 11 and an iliac wing fixation portion 12 integrally formed on the acetabular cup support portion 11, the outer side of the acetabular cup support portion 11 is used to fit against and provide support to the patient's acetabular cup, and the inner side of the iliac wing fixation portion 12 is used to fit against and fix the patient's iliac wing.

[0044] The filling block 2 is fixed to the iliac wing assembly 1, and the filling block 2 includes a fusion surface 21 for conforming to the patient's hip defect bone from the lower side and a contact surface 22 for conforming to the inner side of the acetabular cup support 11.

[0045] When using the combined hip joint revision filling pad structure of the present invention, the filling block 2 is first combined and fixed with the iliac wing assembly 1; then, the fusion surface 21 of the filling block 2 is used to fit the patient's hip defect bone, and the iliac wing fixing part 12 is used to fix the iliac wing assembly 1 to the patient's iliac wing; finally, the patient's acetabular cup is abutted against the acetabular cup support part 11; the filling block 2 and the iliac wing assembly 1 adopt a split design, wherein the filling block 2 can be customized for different patients' hip defects, while the iliac wing assembly 1 can be mass-produced as a standard part and used separately. The split design can provide patients with personalized customization services, while the use of standard parts can also reduce the burden on patients.

[0046] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 as well as Figure 3 As shown, the acetabular cup support 11 and the iliac wing fixation 12 are plate-shaped parts that are fixed to each other at a certain angle. The acetabular cup support 11 includes a supporting inner side 111 and a supporting outer side 112. The supporting inner side 111 is in contact with the filling block 2, and the supporting outer side 112 is used to support the acetabular cup. The iliac wing fixation 12 includes a fixing inner side 121, which is used to be in contact with and fixed to the iliac bone. Further, in this embodiment, the size of the iliac wing fixation 12 is 45mm*45mm*4mm, and the size of the acetabular cup support 11 is 45mm*25mm*10mm.
