[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0007] A posterior quantitative distraction reduction external fixation device for spinal fractures comprises an adjustment mechanism, the top of the adjustment mechanism is movably connected to a support mechanism, the interior of the support mechanism is slidably connected to a connecting mechanism, the surface of the connecting mechanism is meshingly connected to a rotating mechanism, the rotating mechanism is sleeved inside the support mechanism, the surface of the adjustment mechanism is fixedly connected to a fixing mechanism, and the fixing mechanism is located below the support mechanism.

[0027] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments:

[0028] Example 1

[0029] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the present invention provides a posterior quantitative distraction reduction external fixation device for spinal fractures, comprising an adjustment mechanism 1, the top of the adjustment mechanism 1 is movably connected with a support mechanism 2, the inside of the support mechanism 2 is slidably connected with a connecting mechanism 3, the surface of the connecting mechanism 3 is meshingly connected with a rotating mechanism 4, the rotating mechanism 4 is sleeved inside the support mechanism 2, the surface of the adjustment mechanism 1 is fixedly connected with a fixing mechanism 5, the fixing mechanism 5 is located below the support mechanism 2, the adjustment mechanism 1 comprises a distraction rod 11, the bottom of the distraction rod 11 is fixedly connected with an anti-slip ring 12, the inside of the distraction rod 11 is threadedly connected with a screw rod 13, the tail end of the screw rod 13 is fixedly connected with an extension rod 14, the top of the distraction rod 11 is fixedly connected with a connecting rod 15, the surface of the connecting rod 15 is fixedly connected with a connecting plate 16, and the inside of the connecting plate 16 is rotatably connected with a steel ball 17;

[0030] Specifically, before treating the patient, according to the needs of treatment, the extension rod 14 is rotated to drive the screw 13 to rotate inside the expansion rod 11. The inside of the expansion rod 11 is threaded, so that the positions of the extension rod 14 and the screw 13 can be fixed without applying external force. At the same time, the anti-slip ring 12 can increase the friction between the screw 13 and the expansion rod 11, and improve the fixing strength of the extension rod 14 and the screw 13. When the lengths of the extension rod 14 and the expansion rod 11 are consistent with the treatment needs, the rotation of the extension rods 14 on both sides can be stopped, so as to meet the treatment needs and avoid affecting the treatment process. During the expansion process of the device, the steel ball 17 is driven to rotate in the slide groove 24 and the connecting plate 16, so that the connecting plate 16 moves more smoothly.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] like Figure 1-6 As shown, on the basis of Example 1, the present invention provides a technical solution: preferably, the support mechanism 2 includes a support frame 21, the support frame 21 is located at the top of the propping rod 11, the top of the support frame 21 is movably connected with a dustproof net 22, the left and right sides of the inner wall of the support frame 21 are provided with an alarm 23, a slide groove 1 24 is provided inside the support frame 21, a slide groove 25 is provided at the bottom of the support frame 21, the slide groove 25 is sleeved with the connecting plate 16 and the steel ball 17, the bottom of the support frame 21 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting rod 15, and the top of the support frame 21 is fixedly connected with a handle 26;

[0033] Specifically, the support frame 21 supports and fixes the connecting mechanism 3 and the rotating mechanism 4. The heat generated when the connecting mechanism 3 and the rotating mechanism 4 are in operation is diffused through the dustproof net 22. At the same time, the dustproof net 22 can prevent external dust from entering the inside of the support frame 21, thereby preventing dust from affecting the operation during surgery. When adjusting the position of the two side opening rods 11, if the extrusion block 32 squeezes the alarm 23, the alarm 23 will sound an alarm, thereby preventing the distance between the two side opening rods 11 from being large, causing harm to the patient. The slide groove 1 24 supports the gear bar 33 by supporting the slide rod 34. The slide groove 2 25 supports the connecting rod 15 and fixes the moving line of the connecting rod 15, thereby improving the stability of the device and preventing the device from shaking during surgery.

[0034] like Figure 4-5 As shown, the connecting mechanism 3 includes a U-shaped connecting frame 31, the bottom of the U-shaped connecting frame 31 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting rod 15, the rear side of the U-shaped connecting frame 31 is fixedly connected to an extrusion block 32, the extrusion block 32 is located on the inner side of the alarm 23, the inner side of the U-shaped connecting frame 31 is fixedly connected to a gear bar 33, the back of the gear bar 33 is fixedly connected to a slide bar 34, the slide bar 34 is movably connected to the inside of the slide slot 24, the tail end of the gear bar 33 is fixedly connected to a rubber buffer strip 35, the rubber buffer strip 35 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the gear bar 33, and the rubber buffer strip 35 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the gear bar 33. The outside of the punch bar 35 is sleeved with a buffer spring 36, and the rotating mechanism 4 includes a gear 41, which is meshed with the surface of the gear bar 33, and the outside of the gear 41 is fixedly connected with an anti-skid pad 1 42, and the anti-skid pad 1 42 is meshed with the surface of the gear bar 33. The upper surface of the gear 41 is fixedly connected with a rotating rod 43, and the rotating rod 43 is sleeved on the top of the support frame 21, and the lower surface of the rotating rod 43 is in contact with the upper surface of the support frame 21, and the top of the rotating rod 43 is fixedly connected with an anti-skid pad 2 44;

[0035] Specifically, when the distance between the two side spreading rods 11 needs to be adjusted, the rotating rod 43 drives the gear 41 to rotate, and the gear bar 33 is driven to move through the gear 41. The gear bars 33 on both sides move to drive the two side spreading rods 11 to move, and then the distance between the two side spreading rods 11 can be changed to meet the needs of the doctor during surgery. The gear bars 33 on both sides are symmetrical, and the tail end of the gear bar 33 will generate a certain vibration when it is in contact with the inner side of the U-shaped connecting frame 31, thereby fixing the rubber buffer strip 35 and the buffer spring 36 at the tail end of the gear bar 33. Therefore, when adjusting, if the spreading distance is small, the rubber buffer strip 35 and the buffer spring 36 can slow down the vibration, thereby avoiding affecting the surgical process and causing harm to the patient.

[0036] Example 3

[0037] like Figure 1-6 As shown, on the basis of embodiment 1, the present invention provides a technical solution: preferably, the fixing mechanism 5 includes an extension plate 51, a plug hole 52 is provided on the front side of the extension plate 51, a receiving plate 53 is sleeved on the outside of the extension plate 51, a T-shaped hole 54 is provided on the front side of the receiving plate 53, an insertion rod 55 is sleeved inside the T-shaped hole 54, the insertion rod 55 is sleeved with the plug hole 52, and the extension plate 51 and the receiving plate 53 are both fixedly connected to the outside of the propping rod 11;

[0038] Specifically, the distance between the two side expansion rods 11 is adjusted by rotating the gear 41. During the adjustment, the expansion rod 11 drives the extension plate 51 and the storage plate 53 to move. When the distance between the expansion rods 11 is reduced, the tail end of the extension plate 51 will enter the interior of the storage plate 53, thereby reducing the space occupied by the device. After adjusting to a suitable distance, the insertion rod 55 is placed in the insertion hole 52 to fix the extension plate 51 and the storage plate 53. Subsequently, the position of the gear bar 33 is fixed by the expansion rod 11, the connecting rod 15 and the U-shaped connecting frame 31, thereby improving the stability of the device.

[0039] The working principle of the posterior quantitative distraction reduction external fixation device for spinal fractures will be described in detail below.

[0040] like Figure 1-6As shown, according to the needs of treatment, the extension rod 14 is rotated to drive the screw rod 13 to rotate inside the expansion rod 11, and the length of the extension rod 14 and the expansion rod 11 is adjusted. After adjusting to the appropriate length, the extension rod 14 and the expansion rod 11 are placed in the place where the patient needs to be expanded, and then the rotating rod 43 is rotated to drive the gear 41 to rotate, and the gear bar 33 is driven to move through the gear 41. The gear bars 33 on both sides move to drive the expansion rods 11 on both sides to move, and then the distance between the expansion rods 11 on both sides can be changed. When the doctor's surgical needs are met, the rotating rod 43 is stopped from rotating, and then the insertion rod 55 is placed in the insertion hole 52, so as to fix the extension plate 51 and the storage plate 53, and further fix the distance between the expansion rods 11, thereby improving the stability of the device during surgery.

[0041] The above generally describes the present invention in detail, but it is obvious to a person skilled in the art that some modifications or improvements can be made to the present invention. Therefore, modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
