Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of patellar dislocation treatment, in particular to a positioning device used in medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction surgery. Background Art

[0002] The patella is an important component of the knee joint and can slide freely on the pulley during knee flexion and extension. The medial patellofemoral ligament, referred to as MPFL, is a ligament on the medial side of the knee joint that maintains the stability of the patella in the pulley. Young people, especially women, have weaker MPFL, and knee sprains may cause patellar dislocation. At this time, the medial patellofemoral ligament is torn or loosened. If not treated properly, it may lead to repeated dislocation and recurrent patellar dislocation.

[0003] Typically, patients have loose medial patellar tissue and tense lateral tissue. Patellar dislocation may occur with even a slight trauma, or even with every knee bend, the patella may dislocate to the outside. At this time, the knee joint is extremely painful and mobility is limited, seriously affecting knee joint function and quality of life. For young people who like sports, recurrent patellar dislocation often means the end of their sports career.

[0004] Traditional surgical treatments for patellar dislocation or recurrent patellar dislocation include tibial tubercle osteotomy and transposition and femoral trochleoplasty. However, these surgeries are highly invasive and have uncertain effects, and cannot be used as routine treatments. With the rapid development of sports medicine and the widespread popularization of knee arthroscopy, a consensus has been reached that recurrent patellar dislocation should undergo medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction.

[0005] During medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction surgery, bone tunnels need to be established at the proximal third and half of the patella. If the bone tunnels are not positioned accurately, it may lead to an increased incidence of postoperative patellar fractures or complications such as postoperative infection. In the existing technology, there is a lack of corresponding positioning equipment that can simultaneously locate two positions during surgery, which increases the risk of surgery.

[0032] During medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction surgery, bone tunnels must be established at the proximal third and half of the patella. Improper positioning of the bone tunnels can increase the incidence of postoperative patellar fractures or complications such as postoperative infection. The existing technology lacks corresponding positioning equipment capable of simultaneously positioning two locations during surgery, increasing the risk of surgery. To address these issues, embodiments of the present invention provide the following technical solutions to overcome them.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6, an embodiment of the present application provides a positioning device for medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction surgery, including a fixing component 200 and a movable component 100 that moves relative to the fixing component 200 along a first direction D1, the fixing component 200 is provided with a fixed-end positioning claw 210, and the movable component 100 is provided with a movable-end positioning claw 110, the fixed-end positioning claw 210 and the movable-end positioning claw 110 are arranged opposite to each other and are configured to be clamped at both ends of the patella; the movable component 100 also includes a first positioning arm 120 and a second positioning arm 130 that are transmission-connected to the fixing component 200 and can move along the first direction D1, and the first positioning arm 120 and the second positioning arm 130 are both provided with positioning holes; wherein, the first positioning arm 120 and the second positioning arm 130 are configured to follow the movable component 100 to move along the first direction D1, and position the proximal preset position of the patella through the positioning hole.

[0034] Specifically, the fixed end positioning claw 210 and the movable end positioning claw 110 are respectively provided at relative positions of the fixed component 200 and the movable end positioning claw 110. The fixed end positioning claw 210 and the movable end positioning claw 110 can be clamped at both ends of the patella during surgery to fix the entire device and adapt to patellae of different lengths. The first positioning arm 120 and the second positioning arm 130 can follow the movable component 100 to move along the first direction D1 and position the proximal preset position of the patella through the positioning hole.

[0035] It can be understood that there are various forms of transmission connection between the first positioning arm 120, the second positioning arm 130 and the fixed component 200 in the present invention, which can be gear transmission, belt transmission, or chain transmission; it can be mechanical transmission, electric transmission, or magnetic transmission. It only needs to ensure that when the movable component 100 moves relative to the fixed component 200, the first positioning arm 120 and the second positioning arm 130 move with the movable component 100.

[0036] It should be noted that the transmission speed ratio of the first positioning arm 120 and the second positioning arm 130 is a certain value. At this time, the first positioning arm 120 and the second positioning arm 130 can accurately locate the required position when they move. Preferably, when it is necessary to locate the one-third position and the one-half position of the proximal end of the patella, the transmission speed ratio of the first positioning arm 120 and the second positioning arm 130 should be three to two. The present invention locates the specific position by adjusting the transmission speed ratio.

[0037] In addition, the first direction D1 of the present invention, please refer to Figure 1 , which means the direction in which the movable component 100 moves relative to the fixed component 200, and will not be repeated hereafter.

[0038] The present application provides a positioning device for medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction surgery. By moving the movable component 100, the fixed end positioning claw 210 and the movable end positioning claw 110 are clamped at both ends of the patella. At the same time, the first positioning arm 120 and the second positioning arm 130 move a certain distance accordingly, thereby accurately and simultaneously positioning to the preset position of the proximal end of the patella, ensuring the accuracy of the subsequent establishment of the bone tunnel, improving the doctor's surgical experience, improving the doctor's work efficiency, and reducing surgical risks.

[0039] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 In the embodiment of the present application, the movable component 100 further includes a first gear set 140 and a second gear set 150 respectively connected to the fixed component 200 in a transmission manner; the first gear set 140 includes a first driving gear 141, a first driven gear 142 and a first auxiliary gear 143, one end of the first driving gear 141 is connected to the driving rack 221 on the fixed component 200 in a transmission manner, the first driven gear 142 is meshed with the other end of the first driving gear 141, and the first auxiliary gear 143 is coaxially arranged with the first driven gear 142.

[0040] Specifically, the first driving gear 141 meshes with the first driven gear 142, and the first auxiliary gear 143 is coaxially arranged with the first driven gear 142. The second driving gear meshes with the second driven gear 152, and the second auxiliary gear 153 is coaxially arranged with the second driven gear 152. When the movable assembly 100 moves relative to the fixed assembly 200, the driving rack 221 drives the first driving gear 141 and the second driving gear to rotate, further driving the first auxiliary gear 143 and the second auxiliary gear 153 to rotate. The first driven rack 122 meshes with the first auxiliary gear 143, and the second driven rack 132 meshes with the second auxiliary gear 153. Therefore, the rotation of the first auxiliary gear 143 and the second auxiliary gear 153 can respectively drive the first positioning arm 120 and the second positioning arm 130 to move.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2In the embodiment of the present application, the fixed assembly 200 further includes a sliding plate 220 extending in the first direction D1. The fixed-end positioning claw 210 is mounted on the end of the sliding plate 220. The active rack 221 is disposed on the sliding plate 220. Specifically, the active rack 221 is disposed on the sliding plate 220, and the movable assembly 100 can slide relative to the sliding plate 220. This simplifies the configuration of the fixed assembly 200 and facilitates the active rack 221 to drive the first active gear 141 and the second active gear to rotate.

[0042] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 In an embodiment of the present application, the movable component 100 further includes a gear mounting assembly, which includes a driving gear mounting platform 160, a positioning plate 170, and an auxiliary gear mounting platform 180 connected in sequence by pins; a sliding groove 164 extending in the first direction D1 is formed on the driving gear mounting platform 160, and a first mounting seat and a second mounting seat are provided on the sliding groove 164, the sliding plate 220 is disposed in the sliding groove 164, the first driving gear 141 is mounted in the first mounting seat through a bearing, and the second driving gear is mounted in the second mounting seat through a bearing; the positioning plate 170 is used to limit the first driving gear 141 and the second driving gear 151; a first positioning groove and a second positioning groove are formed on the auxiliary gear mounting platform 180, the first auxiliary gear 143 is mounted in the first positioning groove through a bearing, and the second auxiliary gear 153 is mounted in the second positioning groove through a bearing.

[0043] Specifically, the sliding plate 220 is slidably connected within the slide slot 164. The first driving gear 141 is mounted on the first mounting seat via a bearing. One end of the first driving gear 141 is in transmission connection with the driving rack 221 on the sliding plate 220, and the other end meshes with the first driven gear 142. The first auxiliary gear 143 is mounted in the first positioning slot via a bearing. The second driving gear 151 is mounted on the second mounting seat via a bearing. One end of the second driving gear 151 is in transmission connection with the driving rack 221 on the sliding plate 220, and the other end meshes with the second driven gear 152. The second auxiliary gear 153 is mounted in the second positioning slot via a bearing. When the fixed end positioning claw 210 and the movable end positioning claw 110 are clamped at both ends of the patella during surgery, the driving gear mounting platform 160 slides on the sliding plate 220 through the sliding groove 164, so that the driving rack 221 drives the first driving gear 141 and the second driving gear 151 to rotate, and further drives the first positioning arm 120 and the second positioning arm 130 to move along the first direction D1, completing the positioning of the preset position of the patella.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 6In an embodiment of the present application, the first positioning arm 120 further includes a first sliding rod 121, which is connected to the first driven rack 122; the second positioning arm 130 further includes a second sliding rod 131, which is connected to the second driven rack 132; the driving gear mounting platform 160 also has a first guide groove 161 and a second guide groove 162 parallel to each other, the first sliding rod 121 is arranged in the first guide groove 161, and the second sliding rod 131 is arranged in the second guide groove 162.

[0045] Specifically, the first sliding rod 121 is slidably connected within the first guide slot 161 and moves along a first direction D1. The first sliding rod 121 is connected to the first driven rack 122 via a connecting rod. The first driven rack 122 meshes with the first auxiliary gear 143. When the first auxiliary gear 143 rotates, it drives the first driven rack 122 to move, and further drives the first sliding rod 121 to move along the first direction D1 within the first guide slot 161, so that the first movable arm completes the positioning of the patella. The second sliding rod 131 is slidably connected within the second guide slot 162 and moves along a second direction. The second sliding rod 131 is connected to the second driven rack 132 via a connecting rod. The second driven rack 132 meshes with the second auxiliary gear 153. When the second auxiliary gear 153 rotates, it drives the second driven rack 132 to move, and further drives the second sliding rod 131 to move along the second direction within the second guide slot 162, so that the second movable arm completes the positioning of the patella. It should be noted that the first sliding rod 121 and the first guide groove 161 are slidingly connected, and the second sliding rod 131 and the second guide groove 162 are slidingly connected, so that the first positioning arm 120 and the second positioning arm 130 can move more stably, thereby preventing the position deviation of the first positioning arm 120 and the second positioning arm 130.
