Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of spinal surgical instruments, and in particular to a screw arm breaking device for removing a locked screw plug in a spinal internal fixation system and an operating method thereof. Background Art

[0002] During spinal fixation surgery, a screw plug, through a hexagonal or torx socket, is used with a wrench to tighten the screw. When the plug hole becomes rounded due to overtightening, or the plug threads become locked with the screw threads, conventional solutions include: crushing the plug with pliers or cutting the connecting rod with shears. These solutions have serious drawbacks.

[0003] 1. Using pliers to clamp will cause the bone-nail interface to loosen, resulting in metal debris that is difficult to clean, causing secondary damage to human tissue;

[0004] 2. After cutting the connecting rod, the entire implant must be removed and reinstalled, which significantly prolongs the operation time. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a special instrument that can accurately destroy a single screw arm without affecting other implants. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present application provides a demolition device based on the lever principle, which can achieve precise force application to destroy the screw arm while avoiding waste of surgical time and secondary damage.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] The spinal screw arm precision demolition device consists of two connecting seats 1, two force arm rods 2, and two handles 3. Its characteristics are: the connecting seat 1 is a U-shaped square block, and the size of the U-shaped mouth is With positive tolerance to match screw arm width With negative tolerance, the front of the square block is set as a plane with rounded arcs on all sides, and the back side has a step surface without chamfers. The back sides of the two connecting seats 1 are interlocked to ensure the cavity size The width of this cavity and the head of the lever 2 is Clearance fit, there are two through holes 1a with a diameter of 4mm and two through holes 1b with a diameter of 6mm on the connecting seat 1, and two connecting rods with a diameter of 4mm are passed through the two 1a holes to fix them together. The connecting rods and the 1a holes are interference fit, and connecting rods with a diameter of 6mm are passed through the 1b holes and 2b holes respectively. The connecting rods and the 1b holes are interference fit, and the 2b holes are clearance fit, and the clearance amount is 0.5mm, so the force arm rod 2 can rotate along the connecting rod with a diameter of 6mm.

[0008] The head of the lever arm 2 is The wide square body has a built-in round hole with a diameter of 10mm and a depth of 150mm, and a cross slot is set in the round hole. The tail of the arm rod 2 is connected to a round rod with a diameter of 10mm. The end of the round rod is provided with a cross pin. The cross pin at the end of the round rod is telescopically nested in the inner hole of the head square body through the cross slot inside the square body. The total length adjustment range of the telescopic connection with the head is 0-150mm.

[0009] The handle 3 is a cylinder with a length of 100 mm and a diameter of 20 mm. The surface is provided with multi-level anti-slip grooves with a depth of 0.5-1 mm. It is made of phenolic resin laminated cloth board, which is light and easy to hold. The inside of the handle 3 is provided with a hole with a length of 50 mm and a diameter of 10 mm. This hole is fixed together with the round rod part of the lever arm 2 by interference fit.

[0010] The lever principle uses the axis of the 6mm connecting rod as the fulcrum. The power F1 is the separation force applied to both sides by the operator holding the handle 3. When the force arm 2 is adjusted to the maximum length, the distance from the separation force point to the fulcrum is the power arm L1, which is about 400mm. The resistance F2 is the inward squeezing force of the head of the force arm 2 clamping the screw arm. The distance from the squeezing screw arm point to the fulcrum is the resistance arm L2, which is about 10mm. It is converted into the squeezing force F2≈40F1 of the head on the screw arm through the lever system.

[0011] Beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. Effort-saving: Through 40 times force amplification, it significantly saves effort and makes the operation easier to control;

[0013] 2. The retractable structure reduces the storage volume of the equipment;

[0014] 3. Simple processing and easy to promote. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
