Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of surgical steel plate placement, and in particular to an auxiliary device for centrally placing a steel plate. Background Art

[0002] Most fracture patients need open reduction and plate fixation, or limited open reduction and plate fixation. In order to promote healing, the plate is generally placed in the center along the long axis of the long bone shaft, and also to make the plate fit better (some plates are anatomical plates). Placing the plate in the correct position can reduce the probability of fracture nonunion and the risk of plate screw breakage; placing the plate in the correct position can better assist fracture reduction; the X-ray film will look better when reviewing, and the patient and family satisfaction will be higher. However, it is difficult to achieve precise centering using current instruments during surgery, and there are the following technical defects: 1) Most bones are not regular cylindrical or prismatic, etc. Although many bones are called long bones, such as tibia and fibula, femur, humerus, ulna and radius, in fact, it is found in clinical practice that any surface of these long bones is not flat, so anatomical plates are designed for each part and each surface, just to make the plate and bone surface fit better, so as to achieve the optimal mechanical solution, but in actual operation, it is difficult to make the plate and bone surface fit perfectly, one of the reasons is that the plate is not placed in the correct position, and the plate is too close. The distal or far end is one reason, and the failure of the plate to be placed in the center is also an important reason. This reason is often overlooked and may eventually lead to nonunion, delayed bone healing, screw loosening, plate and screw breakage, etc.; 2) During the operation, in order to achieve the centering of the plate, a longer incision is made to fully expose the required length of the plate, and the plate is judged under direct vision to see whether it is centered. Repeated adjustments are made until it is roughly centered and then fixed; another method is to use fingers to touch the plate to ensure that it is roughly located in the middle of the bone cortex and then fix it; another method is to use Kirschner wires for temporary fixation, and check whether it is centered through fluoroscopy. If there is a deviation, repeated adjustments are made until it is centered and then fixed. The above operations are rough and time-consuming, and the surgical incisions are long, the trauma is large, and the number of fluoroscopy times is high, which increases the risk of radiation exposure for medical staff and patients; 3) Especially now that more and more doctors in clinical practice use the Mippo technique to perform fracture open reduction and internal fixation surgery, it is impossible to achieve the central placement of the steel plate under direct vision. If the steel plate is placed eccentrically, that is, it is not placed in the center, stress concentration may occur, the screw and plate may break, the screw may loosen, the fracture may be delayed in healing, or it may not heal; eccentric placement of the steel plate may cause re-fracture around the prosthesis, or re-fracture after the internal fixation device is removed. Eccentric placement may also damage nerves, muscles, tendons, blood vessels, etc.; 4) Eccentric placement of the steel plate is often encountered in clinical practice. During the process of screwing in the screw, the compression and torsion of the screw and plate on the bone may cause the fracture reduction to be lost again, requiring repeated adjustments or leading to surgical failure.
