[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0032] The embodiments of the present invention provide an extra-medullary 3D printing composite intramedullary fixation bone end intramedullary needle system, which includes a bone prosthesis and a fixation system. The fixation system includes: an intramedullary needle disposed at one end of the bone prosthesis and fixed in the medullary cavity by bone cement; a fixing piece disposed at one end of the bone prosthesis close to the intramedullary needle and in contact with the host bone, and the contact surface is a 3D printing interface; a prefabricated part used to contact the host bone instead of the fixing piece during the prosthesis installation operation, solving the problems of poor long-term stability of the bone cement-fixed intramedullary needle and difficulty in revision of the 3D interface-fixed intramedullary needle in the prior art. The bone prosthesis of the present invention has good osteoconductivity and mechanical stability both in the long term and the short term.

[0033] To better understand the above technical solutions, the above technical solutions will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the specification and specific implementation manners.

[0034] Embodiment 1:

[0035] Referring to Figure 1 As shown, an extra-medullary 3D printing composite intramedullary fixation bone end intramedullary needle system proposed by the present invention includes a bone prosthesis 1 and a fixation system 2. The fixation system 2 includes: an intramedullary needle 21 disposed at one end of the bone prosthesis 1 and fixed in the medullary cavity by bone cement; a fixing piece 22 disposed at one end of the bone prosthesis 1 close to the intramedullary needle and in contact with the host bone, and the contact surface is a 3D printing interface; a prefabricated part 23 used to contact the host bone instead of the fixing piece 22 during the prosthesis installation operation.

[0036] It should be noted that: the shape and size of the bone prosthesis 1 are customized according to the actual needs of the patient; the prefabricated part 23 is arranged on the outer surface of the intramedullary needle 21, and its size and length are the same as those of the fixing part 22. During the prosthesis installation surgery, first, the intramedullary needle 21 is fixed in the medullary cavity with bone cement. The prefabricated part 23 is arranged on the outer surface of the part of the intramedullary needle 21 extending out of the medullary cavity. After the bone cement solidifies, the prefabricated part 23 is removed, and the fixing part 22 is arranged on the part of the intramedullary needle 21 extending out of the medullary cavity and the bone prosthesis 1. Bone grafting is performed on the defective part of the contact surface between the fixing part 22 and the host bone; the intramedullary needle 21 is fixed with bone cement, with fast fixing speed and good initial stability. Moreover, during subsequent revision, it is easy to be pulled out of the medullary cavity for removal; the 3D interface of the fixing part 22 is fixed by bone ingrowth later, with good long-term stability. During revision, it is exposed outside the bone and is easy to be removed for revision; the prefabricated part 23 can prevent bone cement from leaking out from the gap between the intramedullary needle 21 and the medullary cavity, resulting in bone cement entering the 3D interface of the fixing part 22, thereby affecting the bone ingrowth effect.

[0037] Embodiment 2:

[0038] See Figure 2 As shown, a kind of extra-medullary 3D printing composite intramedullary fixation bone end intramedullary needle system proposed by the present invention includes the content involved in Embodiment 1. In addition: the fixing part 22 is a plurality of mutually combined sheet-like structures, and the fixing part 22 is sleeved on the outer surface of the intramedullary needle 21.

[0039] It should be noted that: the fixing part 22 is a plurality of sheet-like combined structures, and the thickness and length of each fixing part can be prefabricated and adjusted according to the situation of the host bone. The plurality of sheet-like combined structures are conducive to quick and convenient installation during the operation.

[0040] See Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment: a wing plate 221 is fixedly installed at the top of the fixing part 22, and one side surface of the wing plate 221 contacts the host bone, and the contact surface is a 3D printing interface.

[0041] It should be noted that: the wing plate 221 can provide an auxiliary bone ingrowth surface for the host bone, thereby realizing the integration after the prosthesis surface of the proximal bone contact grows in, that is, the mechanical conduction from the prosthesis to the bone, reaching the interface for long-term survival. The length of each wing plate 221 is prefabricated and adjusted according to the curvature of the host bone to achieve better mechanical effects.

[0042] See Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment: an insertion pile 222 is provided at the bottom of the fixing part 22, and a slot 111 adapted to the insertion pile 222 is opened at the top of the bone prosthesis 1.

[0043] It should be noted that: the fixing part 22 and the bone prosthesis 1 are fixed by the insertion pile 222, which improves the convenience of the prosthesis installation surgery.

[0044] See Figure 3 As shown, in a further preferred embodiment: the cross-sectional shape of the insertion pile 222 is "T" shaped.

[0045] It should be noted that: the "T" shaped structure of the insertion pile 222 can effectively resist the rotational action of the human muscles and bones on the fixing member 22, and prevent the fixing member 22 from rotating relative to the bone prosthesis 1.

[0046] Embodiment 3:

[0047] See Figure 4 As shown, an extra-medullary 3D printed composite intramedullary fixation bone end nail system proposed by the present invention includes the content involved in Embodiment 2 and the preferred embodiments of Embodiment 2. In addition, the fixing members 22 are fixedly engaged with each other through a snap mechanism 223.

[0048] It should be noted that: the snap mechanism 223 can quickly fix the fixing members 22 to each other, improving the convenience of the prosthesis installation surgery.

[0049] See Figure 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment: one end of some fixing members 22 in contact with the host bone is provided with a gap 224, and the thickness of the gap 224 is the same as the depth of the card slot of the snap mechanism 223.

[0050] It should be noted that: the gap 224 and the setting of its thickness being the same as the depth of the card slot of the snap mechanism 223 are conducive to the combined installation of the fixing members 22. When the contact surface of the fixing member 22 touches the host bone, the snap mechanisms 223 can just touch each other. After the snap mechanisms 223 are engaged, a gap 224 is formed, and the gap 224 fills the missing part of the bone contact surface by bone grafting.

[0051] In a more preferred embodiment: the length of the insertion pile 222 is the same as the depth of the card slot of the snap mechanism 223 and the thickness of the gap 224.

[0052] It should be noted that: through the setting that the length of the insertion pile 222 is the same as the depth of the card slot of the snap mechanism 223 and the thickness of the gap 224, when the contact surface of the fixing member 22 provided with the gap 224 touches the host bone, the length from the end of the insertion pile 222 to the bone contact surface end of the fixing member 22 is exactly the same as the length of the fixing member without the gap 224, which is also the distance from the host bone contact surface end to the bone prosthesis 21, and can improve the convenience of the prosthesis installation surgery.

[0053] Embodiment 4:

[0054] See Figure 4As shown in the figure, a 3D printed composite intramedullary fixation bone end intramedullary needle system proposed by the present invention includes the content involved in the above-mentioned embodiments and preferred embodiments. In addition, each fixing member 22 is provided with a locking hole that penetrates through each other, and the locking hole is used to set a locking pile for fixation.

[0055] It should be noted that: the locking pile can be a fixing rod commonly used in bone surgeries such as rivets, screws, bolts, etc. Through the setting of the locking hole and the locking pile, the fixing member 22 can be firmly fixed to the bone prosthesis 1 and the intramedullary needle 21, providing good conditions for bone ingrowth on the subsequent contact surface.

[0056] See Figure 5 As shown in the figure, in a preferred embodiment: the prefabricated member 23 is a plurality of sheet-like structures combined with each other, and each prefabricated member 23 is provided with a locking hole that penetrates through each other, and the locking hole is used to set a locking pile for fixation.

[0057] It should be noted that: the locking pile can be a fixing rod commonly used in bone surgeries such as rivets, screws, bolts, etc. Through the setting of the locking hole and the locking pile, during the operation, the prefabricated member 23 can be first fixed at the position where the outer surface of the intramedullary needle 21 contacts the host bone. When the intramedullary needle 21 is fixed by bone cement, it can prevent the bone cement in the host bone marrow cavity from overflowing or falling onto the 3D interface of the fixing member 22 after solidification. After the bone cement fixation is completed and the possible bone cement on the host bone contact surface is removed, the medical staff can conveniently remove the prefabricated member through the locking pile, improving the working efficiency of the operation.

[0058] Embodiment 5:

[0059] See Figure 6 As shown in the figure, a 3D printed composite intramedullary fixation bone end intramedullary needle system proposed by the present invention includes the content involved in the above-mentioned embodiments and preferred embodiments. In addition, one end of the bone prosthesis 1 away from the intramedullary needle 21 is provided with a joint 11.

[0060] It should be noted that: one end of the joint 11 is connected to other joint prostheses (such as hip joint prostheses, knee joint prostheses, etc.), and is combined and connected by a tapered press fit method, which is common in modular prosthesis structures and will not be elaborated here. Through the setting of the joint 11, the bone prosthesis 1 can be installed by replacing joint prostheses in different parts according to needs, improving the compatibility of the present invention.

[0061] To sum up, compared with the prior art, the following beneficial effects are achieved:

[0062] 1. Through the fixation system, including the combined use of the intramedullary needle and the fixing member, bone cement fixation is carried out in the medullary cavity through the intramedullary needle, and 3D interface fixation is adopted through the fixing member. The bone prosthesis has good osteoconductivity and mechanical stability both in the long term and in the short term.

[0063] 2. By setting the prefabricated parts in the fixation system, the influence on bone ingrowth caused by bone cement falling into the 3D contact interface of the fixation parts during the prosthesis installation surgery is avoided.

[0064] 3. By setting the wing plate, the integration of the prosthesis surface for proximal bone contact after bone ingrowth is achieved, that is, the mechanical conduction from the prosthesis to the bone, to reach an interface for long-term survival.

[0065] 4. By setting multiple groups of fixation parts, buckle mechanisms, gaps, insertion piles, locking holes, locking piles, and multiple groups of prefabricated parts, the fixation parts can resist the rotational effects of human muscles and bones; the convenience of the prosthesis installation surgery is improved.

[0066] 5. By setting the joint at one end of the bone prosthesis, it can be compatible with and replace various common prosthesis joints, improving the compatibility of the present invention.

[0067] It should be noted that in this article, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variant thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not expressly listed, or further includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. Without further limitation, an element defined by the statement "including a..." does not exclude the existence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the said element.
