Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to an osteotomy surgical device. Background Technology

[0002] Calcaneal neck osteotomy-lateral column lengthening surgery, also known as LCL surgery, is an effective treatment for flexible flat feet. In China, Evans osteotomy is a common surgical method for LCL. Hintermann osteotomy, as a type of LCL surgery, was first reported in 1999 and has been widely used abroad. The osteotomy method and spreading angle of this surgery conform to the anatomical characteristics of the subtalar joint, resulting in excellent clinical efficacy and significant importance for the correction of flat feet. It is widely used abroad, but rarely reported in China. Most domestic and international literature suggests that Hintermann osteotomy is more suitable for the treatment of flexible flat feet.

[0003] However, the Hintermann osteotomy requires precise positioning of the tarsal canal, while limiting the osteotomy depth, preserving the integrity of the medial wall of the calcaneus, and controlling the appropriate opening angle and distance during the osteotomy to effectively open the calcaneal neck while avoiding over-opening and causing excessive pressure on the calcaneocuboid joint. Current technology cannot meet the above requirements, so a surgical tool that can precisely position the tarsal canal and meet the requirements for osteotomy depth and opening angle is needed. Summary of the Invention
