[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of new medical devices, and relates to a new type of bone fracture fixation plate for fixing chest rib fractures. BACKGROUND

[0002] In modern medical treatment of bone fractures, doctors use internal fixation technology very commonly. For chest rib fractures, an internal fixation bone plate system is usually used, which fixes the two ends of the fractured bone by a bone plate and a screw, so as to facilitate the reconstruction of the skeleton of the human body and the recovery of health. The internal fixation of the chest rib often causes the loosening and loosening of the fixed steel plate screw, and other failure conditions, so other ways of auxiliary fixation are needed in addition to the screw fixation.

[0010] Further improvement, the opening arc β of the hook part is 110°-150°, and the opening distance L between the hook part and the deformation part is 3.5-7mm.

[0011] Further improvement, the gap opening directions of the fixed slots arranged symmetrically are oppositely arranged, and the gap openings are all arranged towards the outside of the long side of the upper fixed plate.

[0012] Further improvement, the through hole is a conical countersunk through hole, and the top of the locking screw is provided with a countersunk part.

[0027] The upper fixed plate 1 is made of stainless steel material, the elastic modulus is about 200GPa, the lower binding plate 2 is made of pure titanium material, the elastic modulus is about 108GPa, both materials meet the requirement of biocompatibility, and can reflect their respective advantages in the matching process. Different material combinations are selected, the stainless steel fixed plate has strong anti-deformation ability, the pure titanium binding plate has certain plasticity, which ensures that the fixed plate maintains the fixing ability during locking, and the binding plate is easy to deform to bind the chest rib.

[0028] The installation process of the present application: the upper fixed plate 1 is placed on the bone 4 to be connected, the through hole 11 of the upper fixed plate 1 is pre-drilled on the bone 4 to be connected, and the upper fixed plate 1 is taken back; the lower binding plate 2 is loaded along the notch 13 of the fixed slot 12 of the upper fixed plate 1, the threaded hole 23 of the lower binding plate 2 is aligned with the pre-drilled through hole on the bone to be connected, the locking screw 3 is screwed into the threaded hole 23 of the lower binding plate 2 through the through hole 11 of the upper fixed plate 1, the locking screw 3 is continued to be screwed, the locking screw 3 is screwed into the bone while the nail cap of the locking screw 3 presses the upper fixed plate 1, the upper fixed plate 1 is pressed against the lower binding plate 2, the lower binding plate 2 is gradually deformed under the pressure of the upper fixed plate 1 during the screwing process, the deformation part 21 in the middle of the lower binding plate 2 is flattened into a "1" type, the locking screw 3 is screwed to the end, the deformation of the lower binding plate makes the two side hook parts 22 embrace and clamp the bone, and auxiliary fixation is realized. The above steps are repeated again to connect the locking screw 3 on the other bone and fix the other group of lower binding plates 2.

[0029] The doctor only needs to lock the screw at the specified position, and the built-in lower binding plate is deformed due to the specific structural characteristics and the extrusion of the screw traction force and the upper fixed plate, which can realize the embrace of the lower binding plate around the rib and achieve the effect of auxiliary fixation. The two ends of the fixed and corrected broken bone can be fixed to achieve the effect of treating bone fracture.

The notches 13 are all arranged outward of the long side of the upper fixed plate 1, so that the lower binding plate 2 is inserted from outside to inside, which improves the convenience.

[0032] As a further preferred embodiment, the opening size of the notch 13 is arranged to decrease in the direction of pushing the lower binding plate 2 into the fixing groove 12. The notch 13 is designed like a tapered inclined opening, which not only facilitates the installation of the lower binding plate 2, but also ensures that the lower binding plate 2 will not slide out after being installed.
