[0031] Example

[0032] Combination Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the stable multifunctional intramedullary nail system of the present invention is shown, and the specific structure is described as follows.

[0033] In some implementations of this embodiment, Figure 1As shown, the stable multifunctional intramedullary nail system of this embodiment is mainly composed of an intramedullary nail body, which includes three parts: a head support segment 1, a tail support segment 2 and a support segment 3.

[0034] Furthermore, the support segment 3 is provided with four sections, the support segment 3 and the support segment 3 are connected by threaded connection, the tail support segment 2 and the support segment 3 are connected by threaded connection, and the head support segment 1 and the support segment 3 are connected by threaded connection. The threaded connection has the advantages of convenient installation and disassembly, stable connection and good sealing.

[0035] It should be noted that, in order to fix the head support segment 1 and the tail support segment 2, transverse holes are opened in the head support segment 1 and the tail support segment 2, and stabilizing screws 6 connected to the bones are installed in the holes.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support segment 3 is in the form of a metal sleeve, and a channel 301 is provided inside the support segment 3. A clamping mechanism 4 is installed inside the channel 301. The clamping mechanism 4 mainly includes three parts: a fixing member 401, a clamping sheet 402, and a cone head 403. The fixing member 401 is a cylindrical metal column, fixedly installed inside the support segment 3. Four clamping sheets 402 are rotatably connected to the fixing member 401, and the four clamping sheets 402 are evenly spaced around the fixing member 401. The clamping sheet 402 is approximately in the shape of a willow leaf, and the outer side of the clamping sheet 402 is an arcuate surface 1 4021, which is arched, and the inner side of the clamping sheet 402 is an arcuate surface 2 4022, which is arched, and the arcuate surface 2 4022 is concave.

[0037] Further, the cone head 403 is a cone with a sharp top and a thick bottom, and the top of the cone head 403 is spherical, and the surface of the cone head 403 abuts against the arc surface 4022 of the compression sheet 402. When the cone head 403 moves upward, it can push the compression sheet 402 open, causing the four compression sheets 402 to open outward.

[0038] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a long vertical opening 302 is provided on the surface of the support segment 3, and the opening 302 is connected to the internal channel 301. A flexible sheet 303 is installed inside the opening 302, and the edges of the flexible sheet 303 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the opening 302, and the inner wall of the flexible sheet 303 is abutted by the arc surface 4021 of the pressing sheet 402. Figure 1 As shown, when the stable multifunctional intramedullary nail system is installed in the bone, the cone head 403 moves upward to cause the compression sheet 402 to open outward, and then the compression sheet 402 lifts the flexible sheet 303 to compress the bone, thereby playing a fixing role. No punching fixation is used, which causes less damage to the bone.

[0039] It should be noted that the flexible sheet 303 is a silicone sheet that has been sterilized, which will not irritate the bones and will not produce rejection reactions. The flexible sheet 303 is relatively soft and will not exert a large pressure on the bones when acting on the bones, and has a good protective effect on the bones.

[0040] In some implementations of this embodiment, in order to drive the cone head 403 to move, a pull rope 4031 is connected to the top of the cone head 403, and a pull rope 4032 is connected to the bottom of the cone head 403. In two adjacent clamping mechanisms 4, the pull rope 4031 of the lower clamping mechanism 4 is connected to the pull rope 4032 of the upper clamping mechanism 4.

[0041] Further, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a threaded head 4033 is installed at the top of the pull rope 1 4031, and a threaded sleeve 4034 is installed at the bottom of the pull rope 2 4032. The threaded sleeve 4034 and the threaded head 4033 can be threadedly connected, thereby connecting adjacent clamping mechanisms 4 together, so that the cone heads 403 move upward in unison.

[0042] It should be noted that both the pull rope 1 4031 and the pull rope 2 4032 can be made of braided metal wire, which has the advantages of being slightly high in strength and not prone to elastic deformation, and has a long service life.

[0043] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the head support section 1 is a threaded tube, the moving member 5 is a metal column with threads, the moving member 5 is installed inside the head support section 1, and the moving member 5 can be raised or lowered by rotating the thread. The sleeve joint 501 is a hexagonal prism, which is compatible with the existing hexagonal sleeve, so that the hexagonal sleeve is covered with the sleeve joint 501, and the moving member 5 can be rotated by rotating the hexagonal sleeve.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, a mounting groove 503 is provided on the bottom surface of the movable part 5, and a rotating disk 504 is installed in the mounting groove 503. The rotating disk 504 can rotate freely. The pull rod 502 passes through the mounting groove 503 and is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom surface of the rotating disk 504. The bottom end of the pull rod 502 is fixedly connected to a pull rope 4031 of the uppermost clamping mechanism 4.

[0045] In order to prevent the first and second pull ropes 4031 and 4032 from twisting, the pull rod 502 is provided with a transverse through slot 5021, through which the anti-rotation plate 505 passes, and the left and right ends of the anti-rotation plate 505 are fixedly connected to the head support section 1. The vertical height of the through slot 5021 is greater than the vertical height of the anti-rotation plate 505, and does not affect the vertical movement of the pull rod 502.

[0046] The working principle of the stable multifunctional intramedullary nail system of the present invention is as follows:

[0047] The stable multifunctional intramedullary nail system is composed of an intramedullary nail body, which is composed of a head support segment, a tail support segment 2 and multiple support segments 3. The overall length of the stable multifunctional intramedullary nail system is controlled by controlling the number of support segments 3. Therefore, the stable multifunctional intramedullary nail system can be adjusted for different bone lengths, and is flexible to use and has a wide range of applications. After the stable multifunctional intramedullary nail system is installed in the bone, the moving part 5 is rotated to move the moving part 5 upward, the pull rope 1 4031 and the pull rope 2 4032 move upward, and the cone head 403 is pulled upward. The cone head 403 moves upward to open the compression plate 402, and the compression plate 402 opens the flexible plate 303 to press against the bone, which plays a role in fixing the support segment 3. The head support segment 1 and the tail support segment 2 are fixed with a stabilizing screw 6.
