DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1-8 The present application provides a technical solution: a lumbar spondylolisthesis reducer, comprising a forceps handle 1, further comprising:

[0035] A support plate 2 is arranged at one end of the forceps handle 1, and is used for supporting the endplate of the vertebral body.

[0036] The support plate 2 comprises:

[0037] A first abutting plate 21 is arranged on the forceps handle 1.

[0038] A second abutting plate 22 is arranged on the forceps handle 1 and has the same shape as the first abutting plate 21.

[0039] A ball 24 is arranged on the side of the second abutting plate 22 away from the first abutting plate 21.

[0040] An adjusting device 3 is arranged on the side of the second abutting plate 22 away from the first abutting plate 21, and is used for adjusting the distance of the ball 24 extending out of the second abutting plate 22.

[0041] It should be noted that during operation, the support plate 2 of the lumbar spondylolisthesis reduction device is inserted into the intervertebral space of the spondylolisthesis segment, and the second abutment plate 22 is connected to the spondylolisthesis body. Then, the clamp handle 1 is pressed to open the first abutment plate 21 and the second abutment plate 22. The distance between the first abutment plate 21 and the second abutment plate 22 is adjusted to achieve the width required for the intervertebral space opening surgery. The vertebral body is opened. At this time, the opening angle of the clamp handle 1 is fixed, and the distance between the opening heads is also fixed. The adjustment device 3 is rotated so that the ball bearing 24 extends out from the inside of the second abutment plate 22 and contacts the vertebral endplate of the spondylolisthesis body. Then, the displaced vertebral body is lifted and repositioned by the lifting rod. During the movement of the spondylolisthesis body, the rolling contact of the ball bearing 24 can reduce the resistance of the spondylolisthesis reduction, reduce the shear force of the pedicle screw on the vertebral body, and prevent the vertebral body reduction operation from failing due to the loosening of the pedicle screw.

[0042] In one embodiment, the clamp handle 1 includes a second handle 12, a rotating shaft 14 disposed in the middle of the second handle 12, and a first handle 11 sleeved on the rotating shaft 14. A first connecting rod 112 is rotatably disposed on one side of the first handle 11, and a second connecting rod 122 is rotatably disposed on one side of the second handle 12. The first connecting rod 112 and the second connecting rod 122 are connected by a rotating rod 15. A first abutting plate 21 is fixedly connected to the first connecting rod 112, and a second abutting plate 22 is fixedly connected to the second connecting rod 122.

[0043] This design is for reference. Figures 1-5 The first handle 11 and the second handle 12 are respectively rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 14. Pressing the first handle 11 and the second handle 12 causes them to rotate along the rotating shaft 14. Then, the first connecting rod 112 and the second connecting rod 122 are connected by the scissor-mounted rotating rod 15. Thus, under the action of the first handle 11 and the second handle 12, the first abutment plate 21 and the second abutment plate 22 are opened, thereby spreading the adjacent vertebral bodies apart. The first abutment plate 21 is fixedly connected to the first connecting rod 112, and the second abutment plate 22 is fixedly connected to the second connecting rod 122. This design ensures the stability of the support plate 2 during the operation.

[0044] In one embodiment, a rack 111 is rotatably provided on the side of the first handle 11 away from the first connecting rod 112, and a tooth 121 is fixed on the side of the second handle 12 away from the second connecting rod 122, with the tooth 121 engaging and fixed in the tooth groove of the rack 111.

[0045] This design is for reference. Figures 1-2 ,as well as Figure 5The connection between the first handle 11 and the second handle 12 is more stable through the snap-fit ​​fixing of the rack 111 and the tooth 121. This mechanical fixing method can effectively prevent the handle from sliding or rotating under the action of external force, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the entire structure. Since the rack 111 can rotate while the tooth 121 is fixed, the position between adjacent cones can be adjusted by rotating the first handle 11 and the second handle 12. After the distance between the first abutment plate 21 and the second abutment plate 22 is adjusted, the rack 111 is snap-fitted and fixed on the tooth 121, making the adjustment and locking process of the first handle 11 and the second handle 12 simple and quick, and improving the convenience of use.

[0046] In one embodiment, a support plate 23 is fixedly provided on the side of the first abutting plate 21 and the second abutting plate 22 away from the clamp handle 1, and wear-resistant particles 231 are fixed on the outer side of the support plate 23.

[0047] This design is for reference. Figure 8 The wear-resistant particles 231 on the expansion plate 23 can increase the friction between the expansion plate 23 and the endplate, preventing the endplate from sliding or falling off when the vertebra is supported, thus improving the success rate of vertebral repositioning.

[0048] In one embodiment, the adjusting device 3 includes a movable plate 36 adjustablely disposed on the second abutment plate 22, a second elastic member 37 disposed between the second abutment plate 22 and the movable plate 36, and an adjusting mechanism disposed on the second abutment plate 22 and connected to the movable plate 36 for adjusting the installation position of the movable plate 36. The second abutment plate 22 is provided with an installation groove 2202 for the movable plate 36 to move, and the second elastic member 37 is made of a damped spring or an elastic pad.

[0049] This design is for reference. Figures 6-8 Rotate the adjustment mechanism to adjust the installation position of the moving plate 36, and then move the moving plate 36 into the installation groove 2202. Then, the second elastic member 37 is squeezed, and then the ball 24 extends out from the inside of the moving plate 36 and contacts the cone, so that the cone and the ball 24 are slidably connected, reducing the resistance when the detachable cone moves.

[0050] In one embodiment, the movable plate 36 has a through hole 3601 at the position of the corresponding ball 24 for the ball 24 to move.

[0051] This design is for reference. Figures 6-8 The ball 24 moves on the moving plate 36 through the perforation 3601. Due to the rolling characteristics of the ball 24, the resistance of rolling friction is smaller than that of sliding friction, which helps to reduce energy loss and improve the motion efficiency of the system.

[0052] In one embodiment, the adjustment mechanism includes a fixed plate 31 fixed on the second connecting rod 122, a screw 32 threadedly connected to the fixed plate 31, a rotating block 34 fixed on the side of the screw 32 away from the second abutment plate 22, and a connecting plate 33 rotatably connected to the other side of the screw 32. A traction rope 35 is provided between the connecting plate 33 and the moving plate 36. The second abutment plate 22 has a moving groove 2203 for the traction rope 35 to move.

[0053] This design is for reference. Figures 1-8 By rotating the rotating block 34, the screw 32 can be driven to move in the thread on the fixed plate 31, thereby achieving precise adjustment. The connecting plate 33 and the moving plate 36 are connected by a traction rope 35. The connecting plate 33 drives the moving plate 36 to move inside the mounting groove 2202 through the traction rope 35. The moving groove 2203 opened on the second abutment plate 22 provides the necessary channel for the traction rope 35 to move smoothly in complex environments, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the adjustment mechanism.

[0054] In one embodiment, the second abutment plate 22 has a groove 2201 for the ball bearing 24 to rotate.

[0055] This design is for reference. Figure 7 The ball 24 rotates in the empty groove 2201, converting the original sliding friction into rolling friction. The coefficient of rolling friction is much lower than that of sliding friction, so it can significantly reduce frictional resistance, reduce wear, and thus extend the service life of the second abutment plate 22 and the ball 24.

[0056] In one embodiment, a first elastic member 13 is provided between the first handle 11 and the second handle 12.

[0057] This design is for reference. Figures 1-2 ,as well as Figure 5 The first elastic element 13 can provide a cushioning effect between the two handles, absorbing and dispersing the impact force, thereby reducing vibration and impact during use and improving the stability and durability of the equipment.

[0058] In one embodiment, anti-slip particles 25 are provided on the side of the first abutment plate 21 away from the second abutment plate 22.

[0059] This design is for reference. Figure 4 The anti-slip particles 25 can increase the coefficient of friction between the first contact plate 21 and the contact surface of the cone, thereby effectively preventing slippage or displacement. The enhanced friction makes the equipment or tool more stable and reliable during use, reducing the risk of operational errors or accidents caused by slippage or displacement.

[0060] In addition, if the description in the embodiments involves "first", "second", etc., the description of "first", "second", etc. is only for the purpose of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying the relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features.
