Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a bone marrow stimulation cone system. Background Art
[0002] Arthroscopic microfracture surgery refers to a surgical method in which microfractures are artificially created at the site of cartilage damage or ligament implantation during arthroscopy, allowing cellular components deep in the bone to overflow, thereby promoting articular cartilage defects or areas suitable for bone marrow stimulation. In layman's terms, it is a surgical method in which a hole is punched on the cartilage bone surface under the damaged area of the articular surface cartilage, allowing bone marrow and blood containing bone marrow stem cells to overflow. These components form blood clots on the surface of the damaged cartilage, and then form fibrocartilage to repair the damaged area, thereby restoring the normal function of the joint or promoting tendon-bone healing and avoiding the occurrence of arthritis.
[0003] At present, the most commonly used surgical instrument for this operation is a microfracture cone. The front end of the microfracture cone is roughly straight or curved, and the rear of the microfracture cone is a handle. In addition, the microfracture cone can also include an auxiliary knocking rod. During the operation, the microfracture cone is pressed against the bone surface, and the handle or the auxiliary knocking rod is knocked to achieve the subchondral perforation operation.
[0004] Existing microfracture surgery has the following technical problems: 1. The front end of the microfracture cone is designed to be a cone or triangular cone, and the straight length of the cone line is about 3mm, which can only pierce the superficial bone surface.
[0005] 2. The front end of the microfracture cone needs to have a certain hardness to prevent deformation at the front bend during the tapping process, and it requires a larger diameter; however, the hole left by a large-diameter bone cone when drilling a hole in the bone surface is a larger conical hole, which can easily cause larger bone surface damage.
[0006] 3. The front end of the microfracture cone is designed to be a pointed cone or a triangular cone. The front end of the cone has no protective cover. The microfracture cone is a reusable tool. When cleaning and sterilizing, the tip of the cone is exposed on the outer surface and collides with other instruments, which will cause the tip of the cone to deform and become blunt.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0023] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the invention claimed for protection, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0024] Some embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0025] The bone marrow stimulation cone system provided in this embodiment can be used in arthroscopic microfracture surgery.
[0026] See also Figure 1-Figure 27 As shown, the bone marrow stimulation cone system includes a guide tube 100 , a folded cone inner core 200 and a handle 300 .
[0027] The head end of the guide tube 100 is detachably fixedly connected to the handle 300 , and the tail end of the guide tube 100 has a bent portion 140 .
[0028] The handle 300 is provided with a handle through hole 3006 ; the handle through hole 3006 extends along the axial direction of the handle 300 and is open at both ends.
[0029] The guide tube 100 is provided with a guide tube through hole 150; the guide tube through hole 150 is open at both ends along the extension direction of the guide tube 100; the axis of the guide tube through hole 150 at the head end of the guide tube 100 is collinear with the axis of the handle through hole 3006, and the angle between the axis of the guide tube through hole 150 at the bending portion 140 and the axis of the handle through hole 3006 is the bending angle; the bending angle is any angle between 0-90°, such as Fig.10 As shown, the figure shows the bending angle of the bending portion 140. Optionally, the bending portion 140 is in a straight line, an arc line, a wavy line, or other shapes. In order to show the structure more clearly, Figure 12-Figure 15 The bending portion 140 and the guiding portion 110 of the guide tube 100 are separated by a dotted line; Figure 12-Figure 15 , the bending portion 140 is in a straight line shape, Fig.12 The bend angle shown is 0. Fig.13 The bending angle shown is 30°. Fig.14 The bending angle shown is 60°. Fig.15 The bending angle shown is 90°; Fig.16 As shown, the bending portion 140 is S-shaped.
[0030] The folding cone inner core 200 passes through the handle through hole 3006 and the guide tube through hole 150 in sequence; the length of the folding cone inner core 200 is greater than the sum of the lengths of the handle through hole 3006 and the guide tube through hole 150 .
[0031] The rigidity of the head end of the folding cone inner core 200 is stronger than the rigidity of the tail end of the folding cone inner core 200; at least the tail end of the folding cone inner core 200 is made of a flexible and resilient material. Optionally, the material of the head end of the folding cone inner core 200 is different from the material of the tail end of the folding cone inner core 200. Optionally, the flexible and resilient material includes nickel-titanium alloy or heat-treated elastic stainless steel or other materials. Since the folding cone inner core 200 needs to pass through a complex bending structure in actual application, its material is required to have excellent flexibility and bendability, and can accurately return to the initial state after being bent and deformed by force; in order to meet these performance requirements, at least the tail end of the folding cone inner core 200 needs to be made of a flexible and resilient material, such as nickel-titanium alloy or heat-treated elastic stainless steel or other materials. This type of material can change its shape under the action of external force by virtue of its unique crystal structure changes, and after the external force is eliminated, it can return to its original state through flexible and resilient properties, which perfectly meets the use requirements of the folding cone inner core 200. However, the head end of the folding cone inner core 200 also has the function of bearing the force of knocking, and needs to have high hardness, strength and impact resistance, so as to ensure that it will not be deformed or damaged during repeated knocking, and to ensure normal use function. Based on these characteristic requirements, the rigidity of the head end of the folding cone inner core 200 is required to be stronger than the rigidity of the tail end of the folding cone inner core 200. For example, the head end of the folding cone inner core 200 is made of stainless steel, especially high-strength medical stainless steel, so as to effectively resist the impact force.
[0032] The bone marrow stimulation cone system described in this embodiment includes a guide tube 100, a folded cone inner core 200 and a handle 300; the head end of the guide tube 100 is detachably and fixedly connected to the handle 300 so that different types of guide tubes 100 can be replaced according to actual conditions, such as replacing guide tubes 100 with different bending angles; the folded cone inner core 200 passes through the handle through hole 3006 of the handle 300 and the guide tube through hole 150 of the guide tube 100 in sequence, that is, the folded cone inner core 200 can be disposable and replaceable. Compared with the reusable microfracture cone in the prior art, its tip can always remain sharp, effectively avoiding the deformation and blunting of the tip due to the tip of the microfracture cone being exposed to the outer surface during cleaning and sterilization and contacting and colliding with other instruments. The rigidity of the front end of the folded cone inner core 200 is stronger than that of the rear end of the folded cone inner core 200, at least the rear end of the folded cone inner core 200 is made of flexible and resilient material, and the guide tube 100 and the folded cone inner core 200 are replaceable. The folded cone inner core 200 of various specifications and depths can be used and can be selected according to different parts, which can improve the entry of target bone marrow cells. The folded cone inner core 200 with a thinner diameter can be used to reduce the damage area of the bone surface, thereby reducing the damage to the subchondral bone plate.
[0033] Compared to standard microfracture awl technology, the bone marrow stimulation awl system described in this embodiment destroys less bone surface area, allowing surgeons to place more holes in the defect than using microfracture awls. More holes means more stem cells can be released in the joint.
[0034] See also Figure 1-Figure 9 , Figure 21-23 As shown, in an optional solution of this embodiment, the bone marrow stimulation cone system also includes a positioning member 600.

[0080] In order to more clearly understand the bone marrow stimulation cone system described in this embodiment, the working principle is briefly described below: like Fig.25As shown, when the bone marrow stimulation cone system is needed, the folding cone inner core 200 is placed in the handle through hole 3006 of the handle 300 and the guide tube through hole 150 of the guide tube 100, the tail end of the guide tube 100 is close to the target bone surface, an axial force is applied (the axial force applied only assists in holding the guide tube 100 without shaking) to contact the bone surface, and the head end of the folding cone inner core 200 is struck at a uniform speed with a bone hammer (specifically, the striking protrusion 2007 is struck at a uniform speed with a bone hammer) to make the folding cone inner core 200 enter the bone, and when the head end of the folding cone inner core 200 completely contacts the head end of the handle 300, it stops (at this time, the striking protrusion 2007 abuts against the head end of the handle 300), and the lever buckle 400 is held with one hand, and the folding cone inner core 200 is tilted upward by the lever principle. The microfracture hole is established.
[0081] The bone marrow stimulation cone system described in this embodiment can be operated with one hand to quickly and conveniently tilt the folding cone inner core 200, and can also quickly connect and position the replacement guide tube 100, and can control different drilling depths by replacing the folding cone inner core 200. Fig.26 and Fig. 27 As shown, the holes punched by the existing microfracture tool are compared with the holes punched by the bone marrow stimulation cone system described in the present embodiment. It can be seen that the bone holes punched by the bone marrow stimulation cone system described in the present embodiment have a smaller hole diameter and a deeper hole depth, which is more conducive to the overflow of bone marrow stem cells; for example, the holes formed by punching with the existing microfracture tool are the existing holes, and the holes formed by punching with the bone marrow stimulation cone system described in the present embodiment are the holes of the present embodiment. It can be seen from the figure that the existing holes are triangular, with a larger hole mouth and a shallower hole depth; the holes of the present embodiment are similar to a cylindrical shape with a pointed bottom, and have a smaller hole diameter. For example, the hole diameter of the hole of the present embodiment is 40%-70% of the hole diameter of the existing hole, such as the hole diameter of the hole of the present embodiment is 40%, 50%, 60%, 65% or 70% of the hole diameter of the existing hole, etc.; the hole depth of the hole of the present embodiment is deeper, for example, the hole depth of the hole of the present embodiment is 2 times to 4 times the hole depth of the existing hole, such as the hole depth of the hole of the present embodiment is 2 times, 2.5 times or 4 times the hole depth of the existing hole, etc. For example, when using the existing microfracture cone (model L540486) produced by Smith & Nephew Inc., Endoscopy Division, the hole opening is 1.5mm-2mm and the hole depth is 3mm-5mm. When using the bone marrow stimulation cone system described in this embodiment to make holes, the hole opening is 1mm and the hole depth is 10mm-15mm. The bone holes made by the bone marrow stimulation cone system described in this embodiment have a smaller hole diameter and a deeper hole depth, which is more conducive to the overflow of bone marrow stem cells.
[0082] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
