Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field related to Achilles tendon suturing, and in particular to a reusable minimally invasive Achilles tendon suturing instrument and suturing method. Background Art

[0002] The Achilles tendon is a tendinous structure that extends from the lower end of the belly of the triceps surae, namely the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles, and ends at the calcaneal tuberosity. It is one of the thickest and largest tendons in the human body and is of great significance for the body's walking, standing and maintaining balance. The high-risk groups for Achilles tendon rupture are student athletes and actors. In recent years, with the widespread development of mass sports and the continuous improvement of sports levels, the incidence of Achilles tendon rupture has increased year by year. Except for a few open Achilles tendon ruptures caused by in situ Achilles tendon trauma, most Achilles tendon ruptures are caused by indirect external forces. Some patients with Achilles tendon rupture have Achilles tendon-related chronic diseases before the Achilles tendon rupture.

[0003] After searching, the patent publication number is CN216221536U, which discloses a Chinese patent for a minimally invasive Achilles tendon anastomosis forceps. The rotation of the rotating rod can drive the rotation of the gear, and the rotation of the gear can drive the sliding of the L-shaped rack. The sliding of the L-shaped rack can drive the sliding of the connecting plate, and the sliding of the connecting plate can drive the sliding of the moving block. The cooperation of the positioning plate and the spring can play a guiding and limiting role in the sliding of the moving block. The sliding of the moving block can control the rotation angle of the clamp rod. The rotation of the clamp rod can drive the rotation of the bent end, the clamp head and the No. 1 positioning ring. It can be adjusted according to the size of the Achilles tendon affected area of different patients, thereby improving the utilization rate of the device.

[0004] However, the above invention has the following shortcomings: after the Achilles tendon is ruptured, suture surgery must be performed in time.
