[0003] A riding staple is a commonly used orthopedic surgical internal fixation device, mainly used to provide stable fracture fixation or promote bone healing. The existing riding staple is usually composed of two parallel or slightly angled tips and a middle beam, similar to a door frame structure, and is made of biocompatible materials such as titanium alloy or stainless steel. The tip penetrates into the bone tissue, the beam spans the fracture line or the bone cutting site, providing compression or stable fixation to promote bone healing. As a targeted internal fixation tool, the riding staple is recognized by medical personnel and patients due to its simple structure and convenient operation.

[0039] At present, the traditional single body sewing nail is not stable enough in the bone marrow channel during a long time work process, and is easy to fall off. Titanium alloy or stainless steel material can produce artifacts in the human body, affecting normal examination of the human body. In addition, the metal door type sewing nail is easy to release harmful metal ions, causing bone resorption or forming allergens to damage the health of the human body.
[0040] In view of the fact that the single body sewing nail made of high polymer material is not stable enough in strength, and the single body sewing nail made of titanium alloy or stainless steel material has the negative effect of being easy to release metal ions, the basic idea of the present application is to provide a sewing nail made of high polymer material polyether ether ketone combined with carbon fiber material, which is easy to be integrated with human bone. The organic combination of two nail bodies further improves the stability of the sewing nail in the bone marrow channel, and is not easy to fall off. It also avoids the negative effects of using titanium alloy or stainless steel material, which may produce metal ions in the human body, and has a wide application prospect.
[0041] Reference Figures 1 to 8 As shown in the drawings, the sewing nail of the embodiment of the present application comprises a first nail body 1 and a second nail body 2, and the first nail body 1 and the second nail body 2 are both made of high polymer material, so that the nail body is more easily integrated with human bone.
[0042] The first nail body 1 comprises a nail head I 11 and a nail rod I 12 integrally formed with the nail head I, and the integrally formed two have better mechanical properties, and the production efficiency will be higher, unnecessary assembly procedures are saved, and it is also more convenient to use.
[0043] The second nail body 2 comprises a nail head II 21 and a nail rod II 22 integrally formed with the nail head II, and the outer periphery of the second nail body 2 is provided with a groove 23 for accommodating the first nail body 1. When in use, the first nail body 1 is combined tightly together with the second nail body 2 through the groove 23 of the second nail body 2.
[0044] The outer undercut 1122 of the nail head I 111 and the inner undercut 1121 of the nail head II 211 are close to the end of the nail head I 111, and the outer undercut 1122 of the nail head II 211 and the inner undercut 1121 of the nail head II 211 are close to the end of the nail head II 211, so that the stress is more balanced, and the manufacturing is relatively easy.
[0045] The outer undercut 1122 of the nail head I 111 and the inner undercut 1121 of the nail head II 211 are close to the end of the nail head I 111, and the outer undercut 1122 of the nail head II 211 and the inner undercut 1121 of the nail head II 211 are close to the end of the nail head II 211, so that the stress is more balanced, and the manufacturing is relatively easy.
[0046] Preferably, the outer undercut 1122 is larger than the inner undercut 1121, the outer undercut 1122 is engaged with the bone marrow channel, and the inner undercut 1121 is engaged with the outer undercut 1122 of the nail head II 211.
[0047] The outer undercut 1122 of the nail head I 111 and the inner undercut 1121 of the nail head II 211 are close to the end of the nail head I 111, and the outer undercut 1122 of the nail head II 211 and the inner undercut 1121 of the nail head II 211 are close to the end of the nail head II 211, so that the stress is more balanced, and the manufacturing is relatively easy.
[0048] In some embodiments, the nail head I 111 has a predetermined angle R1, the nail head II 211 has a predetermined angle R2 matched with the predetermined angle R1 of the nail head I 111, the nail rod and the nail head are provided with a transition angle, which can increase the internal buckling force of the nail body and make the fracture site better fused.
[0049] The nail rod I 112 has a predetermined arc, and the nail rod II 222 has an arc matched with the predetermined arc of the nail rod I 112. The nail rod is not in a straight line type, but has a slightly internal buckling arc, which can also appropriately increase the internal buckling force of the nail body.
[0050] The end of the nail head I 111 is conical, and the end of the nail head II 211 is also conical, which is more conducive to being inserted into the bone marrow channel and also produces an expansion effect after being inserted into the bone marrow channel. When used, the undercut inside the groove and the tapered nail head produce extrusion and expansion force when the two nail bodies are implanted, so that the nail body is more stable in the bone marrow channel, and the undercut engagement with the bone marrow better prevents the nail body from loosening.
[0051] The nail body 1 and the nail body 2 are made of polyether ether ketone plus carbon fiber material, which makes the nail body easy to be fused with human bone, and effectively overcomes the negative effects that may be caused by alloy type nail body.
[0052] The second aspect of the present application also relates to a staple expander for expanding the above-mentioned staple, the staple expander 3 comprising a knob 31, an expander body 32 and a guide column 33, turning the knob 31 can expand the guide column 33 to both sides through the expander 32, and then expand the staple. Expanding the staple to the appropriate position, aligning the front end of the staple with the pre-prepared bone marrow hole, knocking the back end of the expander into the staple, the curved arc of the nail rod has better internal buckling force, and the expansion structure of the nail head makes the nail head better stable in the bone marrow hole.
[0053] The above description of the present application and its embodiments is illustrative and not restrictive, and the embodiments shown in the drawings are only one of the embodiments of the present application, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. If a person skilled in the art is inspired thereby, without departing from the spirit of the present application, similar structural modes can be designed without creativity, which belong to the protection scope of the present application.
