Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a support system for treating femoral head necrosis and a treatment method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The femoral head, as an important component of the hip joint, bears the body's weight and plays a key role in supporting daily activities. However, femoral head necrosis is a serious bone disease caused by insufficient blood supply, which leads to the death of bone cells. It often causes joint pain, limited function, and may even lead to joint collapse and disability. Current treatments mainly include drug therapy, physical therapy, and surgical intervention, but these methods are limited in effectiveness in patients in the middle and late stages and have certain limitations. For example, traditional support devices often cannot provide personalized support and are difficult to dynamically adjust according to the patient's anatomy and activity needs, which limits their efficacy and wearing comfort. At the same time, the lack of an effective blood circulation promotion mechanism cannot fully improve local blood supply, affecting the recovery of damaged tissues. In addition, existing treatment methods generally lack the ability to monitor in real time and make personalized adjustments. Doctors find it difficult to obtain patients' physiological status data in a timely manner and adjust treatment plans accordingly. This not only reduces the effectiveness of the treatment, but may also affect the patient's recovery process due to delayed adjustment of treatment strategies.

[0003] Therefore, developing a new support system that can provide effective physical support, promote blood circulation, and achieve personalized customization and remote monitoring is of great significance for improving the symptoms and quality of life of patients with femoral head necrosis.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, a treatment method of a support system for treating femoral head necrosis includes the following steps:

[0040] S1. Use 3D scanning technology to obtain the patient's anatomical data and use 3D printing technology to produce a support system that suits the patient's individual anatomical structure;

[0041] S2. Perform an initial assessment of the patient and determine the optimal operating parameters of the low-frequency pulsed electromagnetic field generator;

[0044] S5. The doctor analyzes the patient's recovery status based on the received data and adjusts the working parameters and treatment plan of the low-frequency pulsed electromagnetic field generator in a timely manner.

[0045] During the entire treatment cycle, patients are reviewed regularly, and the adjustment of the support system and the setting of treatment parameters are further optimized based on the review results. In step S2, the doctor comprehensively evaluates the patient's age, weight, severity of the disease, and past medical history to determine the optimal operating parameters of the low-frequency pulsed electromagnetic field generator.

[0046] Working principle of the present invention:

[0047] The present invention provides a support system for treating femoral head necrosis and a treatment method thereof, which realizes effective treatment and personalized management of femoral head necrosis through a series of innovative designs and technical means. First, when manufacturing the support system, 3D scanning technology is used to accurately obtain the patient's anatomical data, and 3D printing technology is used to produce a support frame (S1) that is highly matched with the patient's individual anatomical structure based on these data. This personalized customization not only improves the wearing comfort, but also ensures the best support effect. Next, in the initial evaluation stage (S2), the doctor will comprehensively consider factors such as the patient's age, weight, severity of the disease and past medical history to determine the optimal working parameters of the low-frequency pulsed electromagnetic field generator, such as the frequency range is set between 0.1Hz and 100Hz, and the intensity range is 0.1mT to 10mT to stimulate blood circulation in the femoral head area.

[0048] Subsequently, the customized support system is worn on the patient, and the low-frequency pulsed electromagnetic field generator is started to begin the treatment (S3). During the treatment process, a variety of biofeedback sensors integrated on the outside of the support frame, including blood flow velocity sensors, skin temperature sensors and muscle tension sensors, can monitor the blood circulation status, local skin temperature changes and muscle tension in the femoral head area in real time, and send these key data to the doctor in real time through the wireless communication module (S4). Based on the received data, the doctor analyzes the patient's recovery status, combines clinical experience and the latest medical research results, and adjusts the working parameters of the low-frequency pulsed electromagnetic field generator and the overall treatment plan in a timely manner (S5). In addition, in order to further optimize the treatment effect, regular review is carried out throughout the treatment cycle, including biweekly imaging examinations (such as X-rays, CT scans) and monthly comprehensive physical examinations (claim 6), so as to adjust the treatment plan in a timely manner.

[0049] The intelligent control system is provided with a user-friendly operating interface, which allows patients or caregivers to easily adjust the operating parameters of the low-frequency pulsed electromagnetic field generator of the support system and view physiological status data (claim 4). This design greatly improves the convenience and flexibility of treatment, while also enhancing the patient's sense of participation and self-management ability. Through the above-mentioned specific implementation methods, the present invention not only significantly improves the treatment effect of femoral head necrosis, but also greatly improves the patient's daily quality of life, reflecting its innovative value and application prospects in the medical field.
