Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medical devices, and more particularly to a nail placement guide for ankle fusion surgery. Background Art

[0002] During the process of ankle fusion screw fixation, it is generally necessary to implant 2-3 hollow screws from different angles to fix the ankle joint. Before inserting the hollow screw, a guide pin needs to be inserted into the patient's ankle joint, and then the hollow screw is put on the guide pin and screwed into the patient's ankle joint, and then the guide pin is pulled out. During the operation, the fusion positioning generally depends entirely on the doctor's experience. The guide pin is often required to be fixed multiple times during the operation to obtain the optimal position. The operation time is long and the trauma is large. At the same time, when fixing, it is necessary to avoid the hollow screws from crossing in the ankle joint cavity, which may lead to failure. Repeated X-ray imaging of the ankle joint is required to determine the angle of hollow screw fixation, which prolongs the operation time, increases radiation, affects the patient's health, and reduces the efficiency of the operation.

[0003] The existing common ankle fusion screw guide has the following two defects during actual surgery: First, the connecting arm is locked to the outer wall of the fixed ring by a locking screw. During the positioning process, the locking screw is prone to displacement of the connecting arm due to the rotation of the screw, resulting in deviations in positioning accuracy; second, the circular hole used to position the fusion screw can only change its angle within a longitudinal plane, resulting in an overly narrow and low adjustment range for the angle of the fusion screw.

The fixed ring 1 is worn on the patient's calf, and the calf is located in the central area of the fixed ring 1.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, in order to achieve the friction-contact braking effect with the fixed ring 1, a plurality of elastic-contact locking mechanisms 4 need to be provided, wherein a bottom slide rail 43 capable of sliding along the T-shaped ring structure 3 is provided inside the mechanism, a longitudinal hollow shell 41 which is provided at the bottom of the bottom slide rail 43 and is hollow inside, a contact brake rod 411 which is placed inside the longitudinal hollow shell 41 and locks the spatial position of the longitudinal hollow shell 41 by contacting the fixed ring 1, and a first coil spring 410 which exerts an upward elastic force on the contact brake rod 411. The torque required for rotation is applied to the bottom slide rail 43. When the torque is greater than the friction force formed by the first coil spring 410 on the contact brake rod 411 and the T-shaped ring structure 3, the bottom slide rail 43 will drive the longitudinal hollow shell 41 to move in space. When it moves to the appropriate position, the longitudinal hollow shell 41 is locked under the elastic action of the first coil spring 410, thereby achieving the friction-contact braking effect with the fixed ring 1.

[0040] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the elastic contact locking mechanism 4 also includes a built-in movable plate 48, and the top of the bottom slide rail 43 is provided with a concave slide groove 44 that can be stuck in the periphery of the T-shaped ring structure 3 and can slide along the periphery of the T-shaped ring structure 3.

[0041] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in order to realize the control function of the longitudinal height and angle of the positioning hole 510, it is necessary to set up a plurality of universal movable positioning mechanisms 5, which are provided with a rectangular frame 51 fixedly installed at the bottom of the longitudinal hollow shell 41, a longitudinal slider 54 that can move longitudinally along the rectangular frame 51, a rotating ball head 58 that is rotatably installed in the middle of the rectangular frame 51, and a positioning hole 510 provided in the rotating ball head 58 and used to position the fusion screw. A longitudinal force is applied to the longitudinal slider 54. When the longitudinal force is greater than the maximum static force formed by the first brake rubber pad 56, the first brake rubber pad 56 is rotated. When friction force is applied, the longitudinal slider 54 will move longitudinally until the longitudinal slider 54 moves to an appropriate height. Then, a torque is applied to the rotating ball head 58. When the torque is greater than the maximum static friction force formed by the second brake rubber pad 59, the rotating ball head 58 will rotate, so that the positioning hole 510 located at the center of the rotating ball head 58 is aligned with the required installation position of the fusion nail, and the positioning of the positioning hole 510 can be completed. During the operation, the positioning operation of the fusion nail is realized through the positioning hole 510, thereby realizing the control function of the longitudinal height and angle of the positioning hole 510.

[0042] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the universal movable positioning mechanism 5 also includes a first embedding groove 511 and a second embedding groove 512. The top of the rectangular frame 51 is provided with a second docking plate 52 that is an integral structure with it and fixedly installed at the bottom end of the first docking plate 42. The interior of the rectangular frame 51 is provided with a rectangular movable opening 53 with a hollow center. The interior of the longitudinal slider 54 is provided with two sleeve structures 55 that can slide along the longitudinal rod body of the rectangular frame 51. The longitudinal slider 54 is provided with a first embedding groove 511 on one side of the sleeve structure 55. The longitudinal slider 54 is embedded in a first braking rubber pad 56 whose side is in contact with the outside of the side structure of the rectangular frame 51 in the interior of the first embedding groove 511. A spherical cavity 57 with open ends is provided in the center of the longitudinal slider 54. The longitudinal slider 54 is provided with a second embedding groove 512 on the periphery of the central area of the spherical cavity 57.

The structural radius of the spherical cavity 57 matches the structural radius of the rotating ball head 58, and the diameters of the two ends of the opening of the spherical cavity 57 are the same and are both smaller than the structural diameter of the rotating ball head 58.

The friction braking strength of the second brake rubber pad 59 on the longitudinal slider 54 and the rotating ball head 58 is sufficient to keep the rotating ball head 58 in a stationary state when not subjected to external force.

[0043] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, in order to achieve the clamping and fixing effect on the patient's calf, it is necessary to set up multiple double-helix telescopic clamping mechanisms 6, which are provided with a horizontal hollow shell 61 with a hollow interior and fixedly installed above the convex ring structure 2, an inner telescopic rod 68 that can move axially along the horizontal hollow shell 61, an elastic air film 615 installed at one end of the inner telescopic rod 68 and capable of contacting the patient's calf, and a piston body 616 placed inside the inner telescopic rod 68 and controlling the liquid pressure so that the elastic air film 615 contacts the patient's calf under the liquid pressure, pulling each force plate 69 outward, and then fixing the circular ring. 1 is worn on the patient's calf, and the calf is located in the center area of the fixed ring 1. The tension on each force-applying plate 69 is released. Under the action of the second coil spring 610, the inner telescopic rod 68 moves toward the patient's calf until the elastic air membrane 615 and the hollow abutment shell 612 abut the patient's calf. At this time, the elastic air membrane 615 located near the calf is subjected to the force of the calf and adaptively deforms, so that the elastic air membrane 615 wraps around the abutment part of the calf, thereby reducing the clamping strength per unit area and reducing the pain on the patient's calf, thereby achieving a clamping and fixing effect on the patient's calf.

[0044] like Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the double-helical telescopic clamping mechanism 6 also includes a second coil spring 610 and a third coil spring 614. The middle part of the horizontal hollow shell 61 is provided with a fixed plate structure 62 with an integral structure therewith. The bottom of the fixed plate structure 62 is provided with a concave structure and a fixed groove structure 63 fixedly mounted on the outside of the convex ring structure 2. The interior of the horizontal hollow shell 61 is provided with a horizontal component movable cavity 64. One end of the horizontal hollow shell 61 is provided with a second rod connecting the external space and one end of the horizontal component movable cavity 64. The horizontal hollow shell 61 has a third rod through-hole 65, and the other end of the horizontal hollow shell 61 is provided with a third rod through-hole 66 that connects the outside space and the other end of the horizontal component movable cavity 64. The horizontal hollow shell 61 is provided with a limit movable ring 67 that can move axially along the horizontal component movable cavity 64 inside the horizontal component movable cavity 64. The center of the limit movable ring 67 is provided with an inner telescopic rod 68 that is an integral structure with it and passes through the second rod through-hole 65 and the third rod through-hole 66. One end of the limit movable ring 67 is sleeved with a second coil spring 6 10. A hollow abutment shell 612 is fixedly mounted on one end of the inner telescopic rod 68. A liquid compression chamber 613 with an open end is provided inside the hollow abutment shell 612. An elastic air film 615 is fixedly mounted on the open end of the liquid compression chamber 613 of the hollow abutment shell 612. A force plate 69 is fixedly mounted on the other end of the inner telescopic rod 68. A liquid flow chamber 611 with one end connected to the liquid compression chamber 613 is provided inside the inner telescopic rod 68. A liquid flow chamber 611 capable of moving along the liquid flow chamber 613 is placed inside the liquid flow chamber 611. Its axially moving piston body 616 has a third coil spring 614 placed at one end of the piston body 616, and the closed area formed by the other end of the piston body 616, the liquid flow chamber 611, the liquid compression chamber 613 and the elastic air film 615 is filled with a buffer solution, the second coil spring 610 and the third coil spring 614 are both in a compressed state, and the elastic air film 615 is a sheet structure made of rubber material with elastic extensibility, and the edge of the sheet structure is embedded in the open end of the hollow resistance shell 612.

[0045] The specific working process of the technical solution provided in this application is as follows:

[0046] When in use, pull each force plate 69 outward, and then wear the fixed ring 1 on the patient's calf, and make the calf located in the center area of the fixed ring 1, release the pulling force on each force plate 69, and under the action of the second coil spring 610, the inner telescopic rod 68 will move toward the patient's calf until the elastic air film 615 and the hollow interference shell 612 are in contact with the patient's calf. At this time, the elastic air film 615 located near the calf is subjected to the force of the calf and will undergo adaptive deformation, so that the elastic air film 615 is wrapped around the calf interference part, applying the torque required for rotation to the bottom slide rail 43. When the torque is greater than the friction force formed by the first coil spring 410 on the interference brake rod 411 and the T-shaped ring structure 3, the bottom slide rail 43 will drive the longitudinal hollow shell 41 to move in space. When it moves to the appropriate When the longitudinal slider 54 is in the correct position, the elastic action of the first coil spring 410 causes the longitudinal hollow shell 41 to obtain a locking effect, and a longitudinal force is applied to the longitudinal slider 54. When the force is greater than the maximum static friction force formed by the first brake rubber pad 56, the longitudinal slider 54 will move longitudinally until the longitudinal slider 54 moves to a suitable height. Then, a torsional force is applied to the rotating ball head 58. When the torsional force is greater than the maximum static friction force formed by the second brake rubber pad 59, the rotating ball head 58 will rotate, so that the positioning hole 510 located at the center of the rotating ball head 58 is aligned with the required installation position of the fusion nail, and the positioning of the positioning hole 510 can be completed. During the operation, the positioning operation of the fusion nail is realized through the positioning hole 510, thereby realizing the control function of the longitudinal height and angle of the positioning hole 510.
