Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical anchor nails, in particular to a series-type knot-free suture anchor nail. Background Art

[0002] In the field of modern orthopedic minimally invasive surgery, especially in the field of sports medicine, suture anchors are widely used. Due to their advantages such as minimally invasiveness and good prognosis, they are playing an increasingly important role in the repair of avulsion fractures and soft tissue tears.

[0003] Surgeons use suture anchors to fix tissues or fractured bones. Usually, surgeons use one implant device for one suture anchor. First, they implant a suture anchor (with sutures fixed inside the anchor, and the two ends (tails) of the sutures are free), remove the implant device, enter the wire guide, pass the tail through the tissue to be fixed, tighten it, and then tie a knot to fix the tissue.

[0004] In order to further fix the avulsed tissue (tendon) to the bone, double-row anchor technology is currently used more frequently. Usually, there are two rows of four anchors, which are distributed on the inner and outer sides of the end point of the tissue to be fixed. In this process, the same operation of implanting the anchor - passing through the tissue - tying the knot to fix it needs to be performed separately four times.

[0005] The latest research currently recommends the double-row anchor suture bridge technology, which has been maturely applied. The two inner row anchors are suture anchors, and the two outer row anchors are sutureless. After the inner row tail wire is passed through the tendon, the tail wire is squeezed between the anchor and the bone during the implantation of the outer row anchor, so that the inner row anchor and the outer row anchor form a bridge connected by sutures, and the sutures are pressed on the surface of the tendon to form a fixed structure. This technology is also used to cover the surface of the fracture fragment to fix the fracture fragment.

[0006] However, most of the current suture anchors are assembled in a split type, with one anchor assembled on an operating rod. The surgeon holds the operating rod and implants the anchor at the target position, then removes the operating rod and replaces it for the next operation. Each time the anchor is implanted, a separate process of entering, implanting, and withdrawing the operating rod is required. The suture anchor requires a wire guide to guide the tail wire and tie a knot.

[0007] When the fracture fragment to be fixed is small, the fixation method of double-row 4 anchor suture bridge is difficult to implement due to the small diameter of the fracture fragment. If there is also a small operating space, a small surgical field of view, and the operator is unskilled in operation, the fixation effect of the anchor and the prognosis of the human body will be adversely affected, which is not conducive to the patient's subsequent functional rehabilitation.

[0008] Chinese patent CN202321291391.8 discloses a prefabricated locking sliding knot anchor with a thread, which consists of an operating rod and two anchors. The suture is tightened and fixed by a preset sliding knot. However, the two anchors can only form a fixed structure shaped like a "line segment", which is difficult to firmly fix tissues and fracture fragments; at the same time, it is not a true "knot-free" setting; in addition, it does not propose a clear solution to the problem of how to avoid the second anchor from loosening freely on the operating rod due to the force when the first anchor is implanted.

[0050] In one embodiment of the present invention, a connecting plate is connected to the lower end of the first straight rod 9, and the bottom of the connecting plate is connected to two latches via two vertical arms.

[0051] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first anchor limiting device further includes a pressing mechanism located at the rear end of the operating rod 2, and the upper end of the first straight rod 9 is connected to the pressing mechanism.

[0052] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the pressing mechanism includes a limit plate 11, a pressing spring 12 and a pressing plate 13, the limit plate 11 is fixed on the inner wall of the operating rod 2, the pressing spring 12 is located between the limit plate 11 and the pressing plate 13, and one end of the first straight rod 9 passes through the limit plate 11 and the pressing spring 12 and is connected to the pressing plate 13.

[0055] In one embodiment of the present invention, a handle 1 is provided at the tail end of the operating rod 2 to facilitate the pressing operation of the pressing mechanism.

[0056] like Figure 7-11As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present invention, the anchor limiting device includes: a first spring sheet and a second spring sheet, the first spring sheet is used to lock the second anchor 3-2, and the second spring sheet is used to lock the third anchor 3-3. A spring sheet receiving port is provided at a position of the operating rod 2 corresponding to the first spring sheet, one end of the first spring sheet is connected to the top of the spring sheet receiving port, and the other end of the first spring sheet extends out of the spring sheet receiving port. When the first spring sheet is compressed, the first spring sheet can be retracted into the spring sheet receiving port, thereby allowing the second anchor 3-2 to move toward the head end of the operating rod 2. In the initial state, the first spring sheet and the second spring sheet are open to support the anchor thereon. When the anchor needs to be lowered, the spring sheet is pressed to enter the spring sheet receiving port, and the anchor can be lowered.

[0058] In the present invention, two first spring sheets can be provided, and the two first spring sheets are arranged opposite to each other.

[0059] In the present invention, the structure of the second spring piece is the same as that of the first spring piece.

[0060] The types and sizes of sutures and anchors used in the device can also be replaced according to different surgical requirements, ensuring the applicability of the system.

[0061] The method for using the serial knot-free suture anchor of the present invention is as follows: first, the first anchor 3-1 is implanted at the target position, at which time, the two ends of the suture 5 fixed inside the front end of the first anchor 3-1 run in the operating rod, the first end of the suture 5 passes through the operating rod 2 at the front end of the second anchor 3-2, bypasses the outside of the second anchor 3-2, and passes through the operating rod at the front end of the third anchor 3-3 and runs in the operating rod; the second end of the suture 5 passes through the operating rod 2 at the front end of the third anchor 3-3, bypasses the outside of the third anchor 3-3, and passes through the operating rod at the rear end of the third anchor 3-3 and runs in the operating rod. The second anchor 3-2 is released by the anchor limit device, and the second anchor 3-2 can be lowered to the head end of the operating rod, and the second anchor 3-2 is implanted at the target position, at which time the first end of the suture 5 running outside the second anchor 3-2 is squeezed between the second anchor 3-2 and the bone tissue and fixed. The third anchor 3-3 is released by the anchor limiting device, and the third anchor 3-3 descends to the head end of the operating rod, and the third anchor 3-3 is implanted at the target position. At this time, the second end of the suture 5 running outside the third anchor 3-3 is squeezed between the third anchor 3-3 and the bone tissue and fixed, forming a triangular suture bridge fixing method with the first anchor 3-1 as the vertex of the triangle, the second anchor 3-2 and the third anchor 3-3 as the two corners, and the first end and the second end of the suture 5 as the two sides.

[0062] The three anchors of the present invention are assembled on an operating rod to form a serial anchor structure. The sutures are alternately run in the operating rod with a hollow tube structure. Only one incision is needed to implant the three anchors at one time in the preset positions. The sutures alternately run in the operating rod and outside the anchors can be squeezed between the anchors and the tissue in a preset manner, and a triangular fixation is formed for the three anchors, thereby effectively reducing and fixing small bone fragments.
