Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to an acromion positioning device. Background Technology
[0002] Rotator cuff tears (RCTs) are a group of diseases caused by chronic shoulder joint disease or trauma, characterized primarily by persistent shoulder pain and limited range of motion. With advancements in medicine, the effectiveness of rotator cuff treatment has become increasingly significant; however, treating large rotator cuff tears remains a challenge in orthopedic sports medicine. Current treatment methods include surgery and prosthesis implantation. Rotator cuff prosthesis implantation is the latest option for treating irreparable large rotator cuff tears, offering low risk, simple procedure, significant improvement in shoulder joint function, reduced pain, and enhanced quality of life.
[0003] In rotator cuff implantation, the rotator cuff prosthesis needs to be fixed in the subacromial space by binding to prevent displacement and complications. Specifically, the pre-placed sutures on the rotator cuff prosthesis need to penetrate the acromial bone and be knotted and fixed on the upper surface of the acromion, thus requiring the creation of a bone tunnel through the acromion. Because rotator cuff implantation is an arthroscopic procedure, it is extremely difficult to perform, and the bone tunnel cannot be visually positioned. Relying solely on the surgeon's experience to create the bone tunnel is not accurate and can easily lead to displacement of the bone tunnel, resulting in problems such as prosthesis damage, prosthesis failure, limited patient mobility, or re-injury. Summary of the Invention

Since the first and second rotation axes of the first and second positioning elements are collinear, and the vertical distance from the center of the first positioning hole to the first rotation axis is equal to the vertical distance from the center of the second positioning hole to the second rotation axis, the ideal position of the predetermined bone tunnel on the lower surface of the patient's acromion can be directly reflected on the patient's outer skin, facilitating observation by the surgeon.

The first positioning hole serves as a positioning and guiding tool, allowing the Kirschner wire to drill along the predetermined trajectory. This prevents the bone tunnel from shifting, thus avoiding secondary injury to the patient caused by damage to other tissues of the acromion. It also avoids problems such as damage or failure of the rotator cuff prosthesis after implantation and postoperative limitation of the patient's mobility. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0043] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be practiced in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0044] Specifically, one embodiment of this application provides an acromion positioning device for locating the opening position of the medullary tunnel on the acromion during rotator cuff prosthesis implantation surgery, determining the insertion point of the Kirschner wire, thereby accurately and efficiently establishing a bone tunnel penetrating the acromion. See also... Figure 1 as well as Figure 2One embodiment of the acromion positioning device includes a first adjusting arm 12, a second adjusting arm 131, and a holding member 11 connecting the first adjusting arm 12 and the second adjusting arm 131, all arranged parallel to a first direction. The acromion positioning device also includes a first positioning member 20 and a second positioning member 30. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first direction is a vertical direction, i.e., the direction of the patient's spine extension. The first positioning member 20 is rotatably connected to the first adjusting arm 12, and has a first positioning hole 21 and a first rotation axis 23 parallel to the first direction. The second positioning member 30 is rotatably connected to the second adjusting arm 131, and has a second positioning hole 31 and a second rotation axis 33 parallel to the first direction. The second rotation axis 33 is collinear with the first rotation axis 23, and the vertical distance from the center of the first positioning hole 21 to the first rotation axis 23 is equal to the vertical distance from the center of the second positioning hole 31 to the second rotation axis 33.
[0045] Specifically, the above-mentioned acromion positioning device includes the following steps when in use:
[0046] S110: Rotate the first positioning member 20 and the second positioning member 30 so that the first positioning hole 21 and the second positioning hole 31 are aligned in the first direction, and record the position of the first positioning member 20 and the position of the second positioning member 30 at this time as the initial position.
[0047] S120: The surgeon holds the handle 11 with the handle portion 113 parallel to the patient's spine. The first positioning member 20 is placed close to the outer surface of the patient's shoulder skin, and the second positioning member 30 is inserted into the subacromial space of the patient's acromion and placed close to the subacromial surface.
[0048] S130: Observe the lower surface of the patient's acromion through arthroscopy, determine the ideal position of the bone tunnel on the lower surface of the patient's acromion, and at the same time move the acromion positioning device and rotate the second positioning member 30 under the observation of the arthroscopy so that the second positioning hole 31 is aligned with the ideal position of the bone tunnel, fix the position of the acromion positioning device at this time, and record the angle through which the second positioning member 30 has rotated.
[0049] S140: The first positioning member 20 is rotated through the same angle as the second positioning member 30. Since the first rotation axis 23 of the first positioning member 20 and the second rotation axis 33 of the second positioning member 30 are collinear, and the vertical distance from the center of the first positioning hole 21 to the first rotation axis 23 is equal to the vertical distance from the center of the second positioning hole 31 to the second rotation axis 33, the first positioning hole 21 and the second positioning hole 31 are now aligned again in the first direction.
[0050] S150: Insert the Kirschner wire into the first positioning hole 21 and then downward into the acromion until the Kirschner wire reaches the second positioning hole 31. At this point, the bone marrow tract can be established.
[0051] The aforementioned acromion positioning device features a rotatable first positioning element 20 on the first adjusting arm 12 and a rotatable second positioning element 30 on the second adjusting arm 131. By inserting the second positioning element 30 into the lower gap of the patient's acromion and rotating it, the second positioning hole 31 on the second positioning element 30 is aligned with the ideal position of the predetermined bone tunnel on the lower surface of the patient's acromion. Furthermore, by bringing the first positioning element 20 close to the patient's outer shoulder skin and rotating it through the same angle as the second positioning element 30, the device achieves the desired positioning effect. Since the first rotation axis 23 of the first positioning element 20 is aligned with the second positioning hole 31, the device effectively positions the acromion. The second rotation axis 33 of the positioning element 30 is collinear, and the vertical distance from the center of the first positioning hole 21 to the first rotation axis 23 is equal to the vertical distance from the center of the second positioning hole 31 to the second rotation axis 33. This ensures that the first positioning hole 21 and the second positioning hole 31 are aligned in the first direction, thus visually reflecting the ideal position of the bone tunnel predetermined by the surgeon on the lower surface of the patient's acromion onto the patient's outer skin surface, facilitating observation by the surgeon. At this time, a Kirschner wire is used to drill downwards through the first positioning hole 21 until the Kirschner wire reaches the second positioning hole 31, thereby accurately establishing the ideal bone tunnel in the acromion. The first positioning hole 21 plays a positioning and guiding role, allowing the Kirschner wire to drill along the predetermined trajectory, avoiding displacement of the bone tunnel position, thereby avoiding secondary injury to the patient caused by damage to other tissues of the acromion, and also avoiding problems such as damage or failure of the rotator cuff prosthesis after implantation and postoperative limitation of patient's activity.
[0052] Furthermore, the first adjusting arm 12 can slide and extend in a direction perpendicular to the first direction, thereby adjusting the position of the first positioning member 20 in the direction perpendicular to the first direction; the second adjusting arm can slide and extend in a direction perpendicular to the first direction, thereby adjusting the position of the second positioning member 30 in the direction perpendicular to the first direction. Specifically, see... Figure 2The gripping member 11 includes a gripping portion 113, a first connecting portion 111 connected to one end of the gripping portion 113, and a second connecting portion 112 connected to the other end of the gripping portion 113. The gripping portion 113 is used by the operator to hold the grip for operation. The gripping portion 113 extends along a first direction. Both the first connecting portion 111 and the second connecting portion 112 extend at least partially perpendicular to the first direction. A first adjusting arm 12 is connected to the first connecting portion 111 and is slidable in a direction perpendicular to the first direction. A second adjusting arm 131 is connected to the second connecting portion 112 and is also slidable in a direction perpendicular to the first direction. Specifically, due to individual differences, the acromion position varies among patients. By sliding the first adjusting arm 12 to the first connecting portion 111, the position of the first positioning member 20 in the direction perpendicular to the first direction can be adjusted. Similarly, by sliding the first adjusting arm 12 and the first connecting part 111 together, the position of the second positioning member 30 in the direction perpendicular to the first direction can be adjusted, so that the acromion positioning device can be applied to patients of different body types, thus improving the versatility of the acromion positioning device.
[0053] Specifically, see Figure 3 The first adjusting arm 12 is provided with a first slide groove 125 extending perpendicular to a first direction. The first connecting portion 111 is provided with a first threaded hole communicating with the first slide groove 125. The shoulder positioning device also includes a first threaded component 123, which includes a first threaded portion and a first limiting portion connected to the first threaded portion. The first threaded portion passes through the first slide groove 125 and is threadedly engaged with the first threaded hole. The first limiting portion is located outside the first slide groove 125, and the equivalent diameter of the first limiting portion is greater than the width of the first slide groove 125, so that the first threaded component 123 can lock the first adjusting arm 12 to the first connecting portion 111. The equivalent diameter of the first limiting portion refers to the dimension of the first limiting portion in the width direction of the first slide groove 125. Preferably, in this embodiment, the width of the first slide groove 125 is 1 mm. Specifically, when it is necessary to adjust the position of the first adjusting arm 12 in the direction perpendicular to the first direction, first loosen the first threaded part 123. At this time, the first adjusting arm 12 can slide relative to the first connecting part 111 in the direction perpendicular to the first direction. After the first adjusting arm 12 is adjusted to the appropriate position, tighten the first threaded part 123 so that the first limiting part of the first threaded part 123 abuts against the first adjusting arm 12, thereby fixing the relative position of the first adjusting arm 12 and the first connecting part 111.
[0054] See Figure 4Similarly, the second adjusting arm 131 is provided with a second slide groove 133 extending perpendicular to the first direction, and the second connecting portion 112 is provided with a second threaded hole communicating with the second slide groove 133. The shoulder positioning device also includes a second threaded member 132, which includes a second threaded portion and a second limiting portion connected to the second threaded portion. The second threaded portion passes through the second slide groove 133 and is threadedly engaged with the second threaded hole. The second limiting portion is located outside the second slide groove 133, and the equivalent diameter of the second limiting portion is greater than the width of the second slide groove 133, so that the second threaded member 132 can lock the second adjusting arm 131 to the second connecting portion 112. The equivalent diameter of the second limiting portion refers to the dimension of the second limiting portion in the width direction of the second slide groove 133. Preferably, in this embodiment, the width of the second slide groove 133 is 1 mm. Specifically, when it is necessary to adjust the position of the second adjusting arm 131 in the direction perpendicular to the first direction, first loosen the second threaded part 132. At this time, the second adjusting arm 131 can slide relative to the second connecting part 112 in the direction perpendicular to the first direction. After the second adjusting arm 131 is adjusted to the appropriate position, tighten the second threaded part 132 so that the second limiting part of the second threaded part 132 abuts against the second adjusting arm 131, thereby fixing the relative position of the second adjusting arm 131 and the second connecting part 112.
[0055] It is worth noting that there are many other connection methods that can achieve relative movement between the first adjusting arm 12 and the first connecting part 111, and are not limited to the above embodiments. For example, the first adjusting arm 12 and the first connecting part 111 can also be threaded together, or the first adjusting arm 12 and the first connecting part 111 can be nested together, etc. Similarly, there are many other connection methods that can achieve relative movement between the second adjusting arm 131 and the second connecting part 112, and are not limited to the above embodiments. For example, the second adjusting arm 131 and the second connecting part 112 can also be threaded together, or the second adjusting arm 131 and the second connecting part 112 can be nested together, etc., which will not be elaborated here.
[0056] Furthermore, to ensure that the first rotation axis 23 of the first positioning member 20 and the second rotation axis 33 of the second positioning member 30 remain collinear after adjusting the positions of the first adjusting arm 12 and the second adjusting arm 131, it is necessary to ensure that the distances moved by the first adjusting arm 12 and the second adjusting arm 131 are equal each time. Therefore, in this embodiment, the first connecting part 111 or the first adjusting arm 12 is provided with a first scale line to indicate the moving distance of the first adjusting arm 12, which can guide the surgeon to adjust the first adjusting arm 12 to a suitable position. Similarly, the second connecting part 112 or the second adjusting arm 131 is provided with a second scale line to indicate the moving distance of the second adjusting arm 131, which can guide the surgeon to adjust the second adjusting arm 131 to a suitable position, thereby ensuring that the distances moved by the first adjusting arm 12 and the second adjusting arm 131 are equal each time, and thus ensuring that the first rotation axis 23 of the first positioning member 20 and the second rotation axis 33 of the second positioning member 30 remain collinear.
[0057] Furthermore, due to individual differences, the acromion height varies among patients. To ensure that the first positioning element 20 can closely adhere to the outer surface of the patient's shoulder skin after the second positioning element 30 extends into the subacromial space, see [reference needed]. Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 In this embodiment, the first adjusting arm 12 includes a body 121 and an adjusting member 122. The body 121 is slidably connected to the first connecting part 111, the adjusting member 122 is movably connected to the body 121, and the adjusting member 122 can move along a first direction. The first positioning member 20 is rotatably connected to the adjusting member 122. Thus, by moving the adjusting member 122 along the first direction, the distance between the first positioning member 20 and the second positioning member 30 in the first direction can be adjusted. Therefore, for different patients with different acromion heights, the second positioning member 30 can be very close to the outer surface skin of the patient's shoulder, thereby accurately positioning and guiding the Kirschner wire.
[0058] Specifically, the main body 121 has a connecting hole extending through it along a first direction. The adjusting member 122 is slidably inserted into the connecting hole. The main body 121 also has a third threaded hole communicating with the connecting hole. Preferably, the central axis of the third threaded hole is perpendicular to the central axis of the connecting hole. Further, the acromion positioning device also includes a third threaded member 124, which is threadedly engaged with the third threaded hole. The third threaded member 124 is used to abut or separate from the adjusting member 122. During the operation, by loosening the third threaded member 124, the third threaded member 124 is separated from the adjusting member 122. At this time, the adjusting member 122 can move freely within the connecting hole. By moving the adjusting member 122 until the first positioning member 20 on the adjusting member 122 is close to the outer surface skin of the patient's shoulder, and then by tightening the third threaded member 124, the third threaded member 124 abuts against the adjusting member 122. At this time, the adjusting member 122 can be locked in the connecting hole.
[0059] See Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 The acromion positioning device includes at least two first positioning elements 20 and at least two second positioning elements 30. Adjacent first positioning elements can rotate relative to each other to form a first angle, and adjacent second positioning elements can rotate relative to each other to form a second angle. The positioning position is adjusted by using the first and second angles. Specifically, in clinical use, the positioning position of the bone tunnels is adjusted by adjusting the size of the first and second angles, thereby adapting to the acromion structure of different patients. Furthermore, in clinical use, the first and second angles need to be kept equal to ensure that all first positioning elements and all second positioning elements 30 are aligned one-to-one in the first direction. For example, in this embodiment, the first adjusting arm 12 is provided with two rotatable first positioning elements 20, and the second adjusting arm 131 is provided with two rotatable second positioning elements 30. By aligning the two first positioning elements 20 and the two second positioning elements 30 one-to-one in the first direction, two bone tunnels can be positioned on the acromion.
[0060] Specifically, in this embodiment, at least two first positioning members 20 are coaxially disposed on the first adjusting arm 12, that is, the first rotation axes 23 of all the first positioning members 20 are collinear, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the relative positions of each first positioning hole 21. Specifically, in this embodiment, the shoulder positioning device also includes a first fastener 41, which is threadedly connected to the first adjusting arm 12. Each first positioning member 20 is provided with a first adapter 22, and the first adapter 22 of all the first positioning members 20 can be rotatably sleeved on the first fastener 41. The first rotation axis of the first positioning member 20 is the central axis of the first fastener 41.
[0061] Further, see Figure 2 as well as Figure 5The first fastener 41 includes a first screw 411 and a first nut 412 threadedly connected to the first screw 411. The first screw 411 is threadedly connected to the first adjusting arm 12. The first adapters 22 of all the first positioning members 20 are stacked and sleeved on the outside of the first screw 411. The shoulder positioning device also includes a first elastic member 51, which is sleeved on the outside of the first screw 411. One end of the first elastic member abuts against the first adapter 22, and the other end of the first elastic member abuts against the first nut 412. The first fastener 41 is used to pre-tighten the first elastic member 51. By loosening or tightening the first fastener 41, the pre-tightening force of the first elastic member 51 can be adjusted. Thus, the pre-tightening force of the first elastic member 51 can be used to fix the first positioning member 20, thereby avoiding the problem that the first positioning hole 21 cannot be aligned with the corresponding second positioning hole 31 in the first direction due to the first positioning member 20 swinging randomly after being rotated to a suitable position.
[0062] See Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 Similarly, in this embodiment, at least two second positioning members 30 are coaxially disposed on the second adjusting arm 131, that is, the second rotation axes 33 of all the second positioning members 30 are collinear, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the relative positions of each second positioning hole 31. Specifically, in this embodiment, the shoulder positioning device further includes a second fastener 42, which is threadedly connected to the second adjusting arm 131. Each second positioning member 30 is provided with a second adapter 32, and the second adapters 32 of all the second positioning members 30 are rotatably sleeved on the second fastener 42. The second rotation axis of the second positioning member 30 is the central axis of the second fastener 42.
[0063] Further, see Figure 2 as well as Figure 6 The second fastener 42 includes a second screw 421 and a second nut 422 threadedly connected to the second screw 421. The second screw 421 is threadedly connected to the second adjusting arm 131. The second transition portions 32 of all the second positioning members 30 are stacked and sleeved on the outside of the second screw 421. The shoulder positioning device also includes a second elastic member 52, which is sleeved on the outside of the second screw 421. One end of the second elastic member abuts against the second transition portion 32, and the other end of the second elastic member abuts against the second nut 422. The second fastener 42 is used to pre-tighten the second elastic member 52. By loosening or tightening the second fastener 42, the pre-tightening force of the second elastic member 52 can be adjusted. Thus, the pre-tightening force of the second elastic member 52 can fix the second positioning member 30, thereby avoiding the problem that the first positioning hole 21 cannot be aligned with the corresponding second positioning hole 31 in the first direction due to the second positioning member 30 swinging randomly after being rotated to a suitable position.
[0064] It is worth noting that in other embodiments, at least two first positioning members 20 may also be arranged coaxially; similarly, at least two second positioning members 30 may also be arranged coaxially. See specifically... Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 In another embodiment, the acromion positioning device includes two first positioning elements 20 and two second positioning elements 30. The two first positioning elements 20 are first positioning element 20A and first positioning element 20B, respectively. First positioning elements 20A and 20B are disposed on the first adjusting arm 12. First positioning element 20A has a first rotation axis 23a, and first positioning element 20B has a first rotation axis 23b. The first rotation axis 23a and the first rotation axis 23b are arranged parallel to each other. See also... Figure 8 The two second positioning elements 30 are second positioning element 30C and second positioning element 30D, which are disposed on the second adjusting arm 131. Second positioning element 30C has a second rotation axis 33c, and second positioning element 30D has a second rotation axis 33d. The second rotation axes 33c and 33d are arranged parallel to each other. Furthermore, the first rotation axis 23a and the second rotation axis 33c are collinear, thereby ensuring that the first positioning hole 21 of the first positioning element 20A and the second positioning hole 31 of the second positioning element 30C are always aligned in the first direction. Similarly, the first rotation axis 23b and the second rotation axis 33d are collinear, ensuring that the first positioning hole 21 of the first positioning element 20B and the second positioning hole 31 of the second positioning element 30D are always aligned in the first direction.
[0065] See also Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 A first gear 61 and a second gear 62 are rotatably mounted on the first adjusting arm 12. A first positioning member 20A is connected to the first gear 61, and its first rotation axis 23a is the rotation center of the first gear 61. A first positioning member 20B is connected to the second gear 62, and its first rotation axis 23b is the rotation center of the second gear 62. By rotating the second gear 62 driven by the first gear 61, the first positioning members 20A and 20B can rotate in a direction away from each other to form a first angle. Furthermore, by using the same specifications for the first gear 61 and the second gear 62, the angular velocities of the first positioning members 20A and 20B are ensured to be consistent, facilitating the adjustment of the first angle. Further, see... Figure 8The second adjusting arm 131 is rotatably equipped with a meshing third gear 63 and a fourth gear 62. The second positioning member 30C is connected to the third gear 63, and the second rotation axis 33c of the second positioning member 30C is the rotation center of the third gear 63. The second positioning member 30D is connected to the fourth gear 64, and the second rotation axis 33d of the second positioning member 30D is the rotation center of the fourth gear 64. By driving the fourth gear 64 to rotate through the third gear 61, the second positioning members 30C and 30D can rotate in a direction away from each other to form a second angle. Furthermore, by using the same specifications for the third gear 63 and the fourth gear 64, the angular velocities of the second positioning members 30C and 30D can be kept consistent, facilitating the adjustment of the second angle. In clinical use, the first positioning element 20A and the second positioning element 30C are aligned in their initial positions, and the first positioning element 20B and the second positioning element 30D are aligned in their initial positions. After rotating the first gear 61 and the third gear 63, by making the first angle equal to the second angle, the first positioning element 20A and the second positioning element 30C are aligned again, and the first positioning element 20B and the second positioning element 30D are aligned again, thereby ensuring the smooth establishment of the bone tunnel.
[0066] Specifically, to ensure that the first positioning hole 21 and the second positioning hole 31 are always aligned in the first direction, it is necessary to ensure that the angle rotated by the first positioning member 20 relative to its initial position is equal to the angle rotated by the second positioning member 30 relative to its initial position. This allows the surgeon to more intuitively observe the angles rotated by the first positioning member 20 and the second positioning member 30 relative to their initial positions. In this embodiment, the first positioning member 20 or the first adjusting arm 12 is provided with a third scale line indicating the rotation angle of the first positioning member 20, and the second positioning member 30 or the second adjusting arm 131 is provided with a fourth scale line indicating the rotation angle of the second positioning member 30. Preferably, the reading of the third scale line at the initial position of the first positioning member 20 is 0, thus facilitating reading by the surgeon during operation. Similarly, the reading of the fourth scale line at the initial position of the second positioning member 30 is 0, thus facilitating reading by the surgeon during operation.
[0067] Preferably, in this embodiment, the first positioning hole 21 is a through hole, and the second positioning hole 31 is a blind hole. This ensures that when the Kirschner wire enters the first positioning hole 21, passes through the acromion, and reaches the second positioning hole 31, it will not penetrate the second positioning element 30, thus preventing damage to other tissues of the patient. Understandably, in other embodiments, the second positioning hole 31 can also be a through hole. During bone tunneling with Kirschner wires, the position of the Kirschner wire can be observed in real time via arthroscopy, which also prevents the Kirschner wire from penetrating the second positioning element 30.
