The specific operation steps are: make an incision on the skin, insert multiple 3.2mm guide needles, and confirm the correct position of the guide needles through fluoroscopy; reduce the fracture by traction of the guide needles under C-arm fluoroscopy, and temporarily fix it with bone needles after the reduction is completed; the bone drill enters along the central main guide needle to expand the diameter of the nail channel; select a spiral blade or tension screw of appropriate length and screw it into the cancellous bone of the femoral neck along the main guide needle; according to the classification and stability of the fracture, choose whether to insert other screws to control the displacement and rotation of the fracture, and finally rinse the wound and suture it. Because the bone needle usually uses a threaded bone needle with a diameter of 3.2 mm, the diameter is relatively thin, and the thread on the bone needle has limited holding force in the cancellous bone of the femoral head, the reduction time is longer and the effect is poor.

[0033] The front end of the outer sleeve 1 is provided with a plurality of axial elongated grooves along its circumferential direction, and the plurality of axial elongated grooves divide the front end of the outer sleeve 1 into a plurality of expansion spring pieces 13. When the pressurizing rotating shaft 2 is rotated, the head and tail of the outer sleeve 1 move horizontally in opposite directions at the same time, so that the plurality of expansion spring pieces 13 on the outer sleeve 1 expand outward at the same time, so as to increase the holding force of the outer sleeve 1 on the femoral neck.

[0034] Further, such as Figure 2 As shown, in order to reduce the structural strength at both ends and in the middle of the expansion spring piece and facilitate the expansion of the expansion spring piece, three elastic grooves 14 are provided on both sides and along its length direction of each expansion spring piece 13 for reducing the local structural strength and increasing the elastic capacity, two of which are located at both ends of the expansion spring piece 13 and are arc-shaped grooves, and the remaining elastic groove 14 is located in the middle of the expansion spring piece 13 and is a long waist-shaped groove.

[0035] Further, such as Figure 4 As shown, in order to make the expansion spring piece obtain a stable structure after expansion, it can be made into a triangular shape (roof shape), and a triangle can obtain a relatively stable structure.

At this time, the fracture can be reduced under the C-arm fluoroscopic image through rotation, traction and other actions to ensure that the expansion shrapnel of the outer sleeve has a high holding force on the bone interface. When the reduction is completed, the wound is rinsed and sutured.

[0048] Compared with the prior art, which uses multiple threaded bone needles with a diameter of 3.2 mm and requires pulling and rotating to perform very complicated resetting operations, the present invention can be relocated independently, and the operation is also simpler and faster; the prior art requires the insertion of the lag screw or spiral blade into the human body by screwing or knocking, while the present invention directly inserts the reaming channel of the drill bit, and through the expansion of the product head, the implant can be stably fixed, and resetting operations such as rotation and pulling can be completed.
