Therefore, various reference frames with adjustable positions have emerged, and the adjustment of the reference frame is usually not a one-dimensional adjustment, but a multi-dimensional adjustment. Once the position is adjusted, the spatial posture of the instrument and the NDI ball will be adjusted; how to determine the adjusted posture.

In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0052] Example 1

[0053] like Figure 1-6 A multifunctional navigation surgical instrument calibration instrument is shown, comprising:

[0054] The calibration bracket 1 comprises a first reference surface 11, a second reference surface 12 and a third reference surface 13; there is an angle less than 90° between the first reference surface 11 and the second reference surface 12; there is an angle less than 90° between the second reference surface 12 and the third reference surface 13;

[0055] The calibration sphere 2 includes M calibration units of the same diameter, where M is a natural integer and M is not less than 3; the calibration units are all arranged on the first reference surface 11; the calibration units are NDI balls arranged on the first reference surface;

[0056] The first calibration part 3 includes a calibration countersunk hole 31 and a first calibration plane 32; the calibration countersunk hole 31 extends into the interior of the calibration bracket 1 at the second reference surface 12 until it reaches the first calibration plane 32; the first calibration part 3 can measure the tip position of a columnar or needle-shaped instrument and the axial position of the columnar or needle-shaped instrument; when in use, the distal end of the columnar or needle-shaped instrument is inserted into a suitable calibration countersunk hole 31, and the columnar or needle-shaped instrument is tightly plugged into the calibration countersunk hole 31, so that the axial position of the columnar or needle-shaped instrument can be determined; the distal end of the columnar or needle-shaped instrument contacts the first calibration plane 32, so that the tip position of the columnar or needle-shaped instrument can be determined.

[0057] The calibration counterbore 31 and the first calibration plane 32 are fixed inside the calibration bracket 1. When the position of the calibration bracket 1 is determined, the positions of the calibration counterbore 31 and the first calibration plane 32 and the axis of the calibration counterbore 31 can be calculated. In this case, whether there is an angle between the first calibration plane 32 and the second reference plane 12 does not affect the use effect of the first calibration part 3. In this embodiment, for ease of understanding, the first calibration plane 32 and the second reference plane 12 are set to be parallel.

[0058] The second calibration part 4 includes a calibration column 41; the calibration column 41 is arranged on the third reference surface 13, and the axis of the calibration column 41 is perpendicular to the third reference surface 13. The second calibration part 4 can measure the position and axis of the distal through hole of the intramedullary nail; when in use, insert a suitable calibration column 41 into the distal through hole of the intramedullary nail, and make the intramedullary nail close to the third reference surface 13, and the calibration column 41 is tightly plugged into the distal through hole of the intramedullary nail, so that the position and axis of the distal through hole of the intramedullary nail can be determined. The number of calibration columns 41 is at least four, and the axes of each calibration column 41 are parallel to each other. The calibration column 41 is arranged on the third reference surface 13 of the calibration bracket 1; the diameter of the calibration column 41 is consistent with the aperture of the surgical instrument.

[0059] Specifically, the second reference plane 12 is perpendicular to the third reference plane 13 .

[0060] It can be seen from the above technical solution that the design of the calibration part can realize the calibration of multiple radial positions, so that the calibration range is diverse, thereby meeting the use requirements of various surgical instruments. At the same time, due to the setting of the calibration ball 2, the calibration of the three-axis coordinate system can be completed at only one fixed position, without repeatedly moving the position of the positioning device, which greatly improves the convenience of actual use and also greatly saves medical costs.

[0061] Furthermore, the calibration bracket 1 is fixed at a certain position, and the second reference plane 12 is kept in a vertical state, and the third reference bracket is kept in a horizontal state. Then, the position of the calibration bracket 1 is determined by the calibration ball 2. Since the first calibration part 3 and the second calibration part 4 are both fixed inside the calibration bracket 1, the positions of the first calibration part 3 and the second calibration part 4 can be obtained after the position of the calibration bracket 1 is determined, and the first calibration part 3 and the second calibration part 4 can be used to determine the position of the surgical instrument.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 1-6 As shown, the first calibration part 3 includes at least two calibration countersunk holes 31; the diameters of the calibration countersunk holes 31 are different. The purpose of this design is to increase the application range of the first calibration part 3, so that the first calibration part 3 can be closely connected with various types of columnar and needle-shaped instruments to determine the tip position of the columnar and needle-shaped instruments and the axis position of the columnar and needle-shaped instruments.

[0063] Whether a first calibration plane 32 different from other calibration countersunk holes 31 is provided in each calibration countersunk hole 31 inside the first calibration part 3 does not affect the use effect of the first calibration part 3. In this embodiment, for ease of understanding, the first calibration plane 32 is set as a uniform plane.

[0064] Specifically, scales are set on the second reference surface 12 to mark the diameters of different calibration counterbores 31 , so as to facilitate inserting columnar or needle-shaped instruments of different diameters into appropriate calibration counterbores 31 .

[0065] In the exemplary embodiment of the present application, Figure 1-6 As shown, the second marking part 4 includes at least two marking posts 41; the diameters of the marking posts 41 are different. The purpose of this design is to increase the application range of the second marking part 4, so that the second marking part 4 can be closely connected with the distal through holes of various models of intramedullary nails to confirm the position and axis of the distal through hole of the intramedullary nail.

[0066] Specifically, scales are provided on the first reference surface 11 to mark the apertures of different calibration posts 41 , so as to facilitate inserting positioning posts of different diameters into the appropriate distal through holes of the intramedullary nail.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present application, the second marking portion 4 further includes a limiting groove 42; the limiting groove 42 is recessed in the third reference surface 13; the limiting groove 42 corresponds one-to-one with the marking column 41. When in use, the positioning columns of different diameters are inserted into the distal through hole of the appropriate intramedullary nail, and then the intramedullary nail is pressed inside the limiting groove 42 to prevent the intramedullary nail from rotating around the positioning column as the axis.

[0068] In other embodiments of the present application, a hollow space including at least one through-window penetrating to the outside of the calibration bracket is provided in the calibration bracket, the side wall surface of the hollow space includes an internal horizontal surface parallel to the horizontal external surface, and the limiting structure and the calibration structure are provided on the internal horizontal surface. This arrangement can ensure that the calibration instrument can penetrate into the limiting structure and the calibration structure in the hollow space through the through-window.

[0069] The method of measuring the tip position of a columnar or needle-shaped instrument and the axis position of a columnar or needle-shaped instrument in this embodiment is as follows:

[0075] The method for measuring the position and axis of the distal through hole of the intramedullary nail in this embodiment is as follows:

[0076] 1. Fix the calibration bracket 1 at a certain position, and keep the second reference surface 12 in a vertical state and the third reference frame in a horizontal state;

According to the positional relationship between the calibration ball 2 and the reference frame fixedly installed on the surgical instrument, the position and axis of the appropriate calibration column 41, the positional relationship between the distal through hole of the intramedullary nail and the reference frame fixedly installed on the surgical instrument is calculated, and the position and axis of the distal through hole of the intramedullary nail are confirmed. The locking hole of the intramedullary nail is sleeved on the outside of the calibration column 41 to complete the determination of the position, direction and diameter of the locking hole.

[0081] In some embodiments of the present application, a method for using a multifunctional navigation surgical instrument calibration instrument is provided, wherein the calibration instrument is the multifunctional navigation surgical instrument calibration instrument described above, and a three-dimensional model of the multifunctional navigation surgical calibration instrument is constructed in the intraoperative navigation system.

The inner diameter of each calibration through hole 33 is different; the central axis of each calibration through hole 33 is parallel to each other.

[0103] The calibration through hole 33 and the second calibration plane 34 are fixed inside the calibration bracket 1. When the position of the calibration bracket 1 is determined, the positions of the calibration through hole 33 and the second calibration plane 34 and the axis of the calibration counterbore 31 can be calculated. In this case, whether there is an angle between the second calibration plane 34 and the fifth reference plane 15 does not affect the use effect of the first calibration part 3. In this embodiment, for ease of understanding, the first calibration plane 32 and the fifth reference plane 15 are set to be parallel.

[0104] The first calibration part 3 can measure the tip position of the columnar or needle-shaped instrument and the axial position of the columnar or needle-shaped instrument; when in use, the distal end of the columnar or needle-shaped instrument is inserted into a suitable calibration countersunk hole 31 or calibration through hole 33, and the columnar or needle-shaped instrument is tightly plugged into the calibration countersunk hole 31 or calibration through hole 33, so that the axial position of the columnar or needle-shaped instrument can be determined; the distal end of the columnar or needle-shaped instrument contacts the first calibration plane 32 or the second calibration plane 34, so that the tip position of the columnar or needle-shaped instrument can be determined.

[0105] Specifically, the fifth reference plane 15 is perpendicular to the second reference plane 12; the projection of the calibration unit on the fifth reference plane 15 is at least three calibration points.

[0106] Specifically, the first calibration portion 3 further includes at least two calibration through holes 33; the calibration through holes 33 have different diameters.

[0107] Furthermore, whether a second calibration plane 34 different from other calibration countersunk holes 31 is provided in each calibration countersunk hole 31 inside the first calibration part 3 does not affect the use effect of the first calibration part 3. In this embodiment, for ease of understanding, the second calibration plane 34 is set as a uniform plane.

[0108] The calibration through hole 33 and the second calibration plane 34 further improve the applicability of the first calibration portion 3 and increase the types of columnar and needle-shaped instruments that can be adapted.

[0109] Preferably, a scale is set on the fifth reference surface 15 to mark the apertures of different calibration counterbores 31, so as to facilitate the insertion of columnar or needle-shaped instruments of different diameters into appropriate calibration counterbores 31, thereby completing the calibration of the apex position, axial direction and diameter of the intramedullary nail.

[0110] The method of measuring the tip position of a columnar or needle-shaped instrument and the axis position of a columnar or needle-shaped instrument in this embodiment is as follows:

[0111] 1. Fix the calibration bracket 1 at a certain position, and keep the second reference surface 12 in a horizontal state and the third reference frame in a vertical state;

[0112] 2. Determine the position of the calibration bracket 1 by the calibration ball 2;

[0113] 3. Calculate the positions of the calibration through hole 33 and the second calibration plane 34, and calculate the axis of the calibration through hole 33;

[0114] 4. Insert the columnar or needle-shaped instrument into the appropriate calibrated through hole 33;

[0115] 5. Based on the positional relationship between the calibration sphere 2 and the reference frame fixedly mounted on the surgical instrument, the axial position of the appropriate calibration through hole 33, and the position of the second calibration plane 34, the positional relationship between the tip of the columnar or needle-shaped instrument and the reference frame fixedly mounted on the surgical instrument is calculated to confirm the tip position of the columnar or needle-shaped instrument and the axial position of the columnar or needle-shaped instrument.
