Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to an auxiliary device for the treatment of compression fractures of the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae in Mongolian medicine. Background Technology

[0002] Compression fractures of the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae refer to fractures in which the vertebral bodies of the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae are compressed longitudinally due to external force or osteoporosis. Traditional Mongolian medicine treats compression fractures of the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae by fixing the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae with braces and applying herbal medicine to the injured area to shorten the treatment time.

[0003] Because the recovery period for fractures is relatively long, patients still need to engage in simple activities during treatment to avoid muscle atrophy caused by prolonged bed rest. To prevent further damage to the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae during activity, patients need to wear thoracic and lumbar braces. However, existing thoracic and lumbar fixation braces mostly use integral rigid fixation. Although they can limit the range of motion of the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae, when the patient stands, the body's weight will compress the spine, which will not only compress the growth space of the fracture site, but may even cause secondary damage to the fracture site. Therefore, this application proposes a Mongolian medicine-based auxiliary device for the treatment of thoracic and lumbar compression fractures to meet the needs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an auxiliary device for treating compression fractures of the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae in Mongolian medicine in order to solve the above-mentioned problems. By moving the movable block on the back plate, the pushing component can be moved above the fracture site. Under the action of the pushing component, the vertebral body above the fracture site can be pushed to relieve the pressure from above and preserve the growth space of the fracture site. This solves the problem mentioned in the background art that when the patient stands, the weight of the body compresses the spine, thereby compressing the growth space of the fracture site.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A Mongolian medicine auxiliary device for treating compression fractures of the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae includes a back plate and a chest plate. Wing plates are symmetrically slidably disposed on the outer side of the back plate to adjust the protection range of the back plate and wing plates. An opening is provided inside the back plate, and a movable block is slidably connected inside the opening. A pushing component is disposed inside the movable block. The pushing component includes a connected sliding plate and a pushing head. The sliding plate slides inside the movable block, and the pushing head is used to compress the spinous process on the vertebral body, causing the anterior edge of the vertebral body to expand.

[0006] In the above technical solution: by pushing the vertebral body above the fracture site with the pusher, the pressure from above can be relieved, the compression of the interosseous space at the fracture site by gravity can be reduced, so as to preserve the growth space at the fracture site and shorten the fracture treatment cycle.

[0007] Furthermore, the end of the push head is provided with a protruding part and a flange part, and a concave part is provided between the protruding part and the flange part. The concave part is used to place the spinous process. The protruding part and the flange part can position the spinous process and prevent the spinous process from being misaligned during pushing. At the same time, a silicone block is embedded in the concave part, which can relieve the pressure on the spinous process and prevent the skin from being injured by squeezing.

[0008] Based on the above technical solution: both sides of the slide are provided with guide parts. When the slide moves, the guide parts squeeze the elastic plate and the rubber block. One end of the rubber block penetrates the movable block and abuts against the inner wall of the opening. The elastic plate and the rubber block, which move with the pushing component, can fix the movable block when the pushing component pushes the vertebral body. This not only ensures the stability of the pushing component pushing the vertebral body, but also eliminates the need for additional operations, making it convenient for nursing staff to use.

[0009] The movable block has symmetrical buckles on one side, and a physiotherapy pack is provided on the outside of the movable block and below the pusher. The physiotherapy pack has a strap on one side that works with the buckles, which allows for drug treatment while wearing the brace, thereby accelerating the treatment of the injured area.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: In the above-mentioned solution, the Mongolian medicine thoracic and lumbar vertebral compression fracture treatment auxiliary device provided in this application can move the pusher to the top of the fracture site by moving the movable block on the back plate. Under the action of the pusher, the vertebral body above the fracture site can be pushed, thereby relieving the pressure from above, reducing the compression of the interosseous space of the fracture site by gravity, and thus preserving the growth space of the fracture site. At the same time, the concave part at the end of the pusher can accommodate the spinous process on the vertebral body, which can relieve the pressure on the spinous process and prevent skin pressure injury. When the pusher moves, it can drive the elastic plate and rubber block to move as well. When the pusher pushes the vertebral body, the rubber block is squeezed against the side wall of the opening, thereby fixing the position of the movable block and the pusher. The stability of the vertebral body pushing process can be ensured without additional operation, making it convenient for nursing staff to use. One side of the movable block is equipped with a physiotherapy pack, which can hold ointments, powders, or dressings soaked in medicated wine to promote fracture healing. This allows for drug treatment while the brace is fixing the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae, combining fixation with drug treatment to shorten the fracture treatment cycle.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a Mongolian medicine auxiliary device for treating compression fractures of the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae, including a back plate 1 and a chest plate 2. Wing plates 3 are symmetrically slidably arranged on the outer side of the back plate 1. The back plate 1, chest plate 2 and wing plates 3 are all made of PP material, which not only has the rigidity required for support, but also has a certain deformation capacity. The back plate 1, chest plate 2 and wing plates 3 are all provided with through holes for heat dissipation. The top and sides of the wing plates 3 are provided with Velcro straps that cooperate with the chest plate 2 for fixing when the brace is worn. Constraint grooves are provided at equal intervals on the wing plates 3. The back plate 1 is provided with internal threaded protrusions. When the wing plates 3 move, they slide on the outside of the internal threaded protrusions. The internal threaded protrusions are threaded with fastening screws. Through this design, the overall width of the wing plates 3 and the back plate 1 can be adjusted, and then fine-tuned according to the changes in the patient's body shape, so that the brace can better fit the patient's body. The backplate 1 has an inwardly recessed portion 101 adapted to the contour of the back, and the chest plate 2 has an inwardly clasped portion 201 adapted to the contour of the chest. Retractable elastic elements 102 are symmetrically arranged on the outer wall of the backplate 1 at the position of the inwardly recessed portion 101. One side of the retractable elastic element 102 abuts against the inner wall of the wing plate 3. The inwardly recessed portion 101 and the inwardly clasped portion 201 allow the brace to conform to the patient's body, preventing displacement after wearing. Under the action of the retractable elastic element 102, it works in conjunction with the wing plate 3 to support the inwardly recessed portion 101, allowing for slight deformation and thus improving wearing comfort. Airbags 4 are symmetrically arranged on the side of the backplate 1 away from the chest plate 2. The backplate 1 is equipped with an inflation / deflation device 41 that works in conjunction with the airbag 4. The inflation / deflation device 41 consists of an inflation ball and an air delivery pipe. There are two airbags 4, which are connected to the air delivery pipe through branch pipes. By inflating the airbags 4, the gap between the brace and the body can be filled, further improving the stability and comfort of wearing the brace. The backplate 1 has an opening 104 inside, and a movable block 5 is slidably connected inside the opening 104. A pusher 6 is provided inside the movable block 5. This design allows the movable block 5 to slide on the backplate 1, and the position of the pusher 6 can be adjusted according to the location of the compression fracture, thereby moving it to a suitable pushing position.

[0021] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the pushing member 6 includes a sliding plate 61 and a pushing head 62 connected to each other. The sliding plate 61 slides inside the movable block 5. A bolt 53 is rotatably connected inside the movable block 5. Both the bolt 53 and the wall of the movable block 5 are inclined, and the bolt 53 is threadedly connected to the sliding plate 61. The pushing head 62 is used to compress the spinous process on the vertebral body, causing the anterior edge of the vertebral body to expand. Through the inclined bolt 53, the pushing member 6 can be driven to generate an upward oblique movement path. When the pushing member 6 pushes the target spinous process, the pushing force is transmitted to the vertebral body through the pedicle, generating an upward oblique pushing force on the target vertebral body, which can gradually reduce the pressure on the spinous process. To relieve pressure from above, reduce compression on the fracture site, and provide space for the fracture site to grow, the end of the pusher head 62 is provided with a protruding part 621 and a flange part 623. A concave part 622 is provided between the protruding part 621 and the flange part 623. The concave part 622 is used to place the spinous process. When the pusher 6 compresses the spinous process, the protruding part 621 and the flange part 623 are located on the upper and lower sides of the spinous process, respectively. The concave part 622 provides space for placing the spinous process. A silicone block is embedded in the concave part 622, which can relieve the pressure on the spinous process and prevent the skin from being crushed due to compression.

[0022] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, elastic plates 54 are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the movable block 5. Rubber blocks 55 are symmetrically slidably connected inside the movable block 5, and the rubber blocks 55 are fixedly connected to one side of the elastic plates 54. Guide parts 611 are provided on both sides of the slide plate 61. When the slide plate 61 moves, the guide parts 611 squeeze the elastic plates 54 and the rubber blocks 55. One end of the rubber block 55 penetrates the movable block 5 and abuts against the inner wall of the opening 104. The guide parts 611 can be adapted to the edge of the elastic plates 54, so as to play a guiding role when the slide plate 61 moves, so that the slide plate 61 squeezes the elastic plates 54 more smoothly, thereby driving the elastic plates 54 to deform and push the rubber blocks 55 out of the movable block 5, squeezing the rubber blocks 55 onto the inner wall of the opening 104, thereby fixing the movable block 5 and ensuring the stability of the pusher 6 when pushing the cone.

[0023] In this embodiment, as Figures 5 to 7As shown, the back plate 1 is symmetrically fixed with ribs 103 on the side away from the chest plate 2. Friction blocks 56 are symmetrically arranged on the outer side of the movable block 5, and the friction blocks 56 slide between the ribs 103 and the back plate 1. The friction blocks 56 cooperate with the ribs 103 to provide initial positioning for the movable block 5, which is convenient for positioning the movable block 5. A buckle 51 is symmetrically arranged on one side of the movable block 5. A physiotherapy pack 52 is arranged on the outer side of the movable block 5 and below the pusher 6. A hanging strap is provided on one side of the physiotherapy pack 52 to cooperate with the buckle 51. The hanging strap cooperates with the buckle 51 to facilitate the installation of the physiotherapy pack 52. The physiotherapy pack 52 can be filled with fracture healing ointment, powder or dressing soaked in medicated wine. While the brace fixes the thoracic and lumbar spine, the medicine inside the physiotherapy pack 52 is continuously absorbed through the skin, realizing the combination of fixation and drug treatment.

[0024] Working principle of the invention: The physiotherapy pack 52 is installed on the outside of the movable block 5 using the straps and buckles 51. The position of the wing plate 3 on the back plate 1 is adjusted according to the patient's body shape. Then, the back plate 1 and wing plate 3 are inserted under the patient's back, and the chest plate 2 is fastened to the patient's chest. The position of the brace is then adjusted so that the inward retraction part 101 and the inward buckle part 201 fit the patient's spinal contour and chest contour, respectively. The chest plate 2 and wing plate 3 are then fixed with Velcro straps. The retraction elastic element 102 can support the inward retraction part 101, causing it to deform slightly to improve the comfort of wearing the brace. Then, the patient is assisted to turn over and lie face down on the bed. The airbag 4 is inflated through the inflation and deflation device 41 to fill the gap between the brace and the body. like Figure 7 As shown, the doctor determines the pushing position based on the assessment, touches the patient's back, and pushes the movable block 5 to move inside the opening 104, thereby moving the pushing member 6 to the position of the vertebral body, ensuring that the anterior protrusion 621 and the concave part 622 are located below and at the end of the spinous process, respectively. At the same time, the physiotherapy pack 52 slides to the fracture site as the movable block 5 moves, and the bolt 53 inside the movable block 5 is rotated to drive the slide plate 61 to move. At this time, the slide plate 61 drives the pushing head 62 to approach the target vertebral body and makes the anterior protrusion 621 fit with the bottom of the spinous process. As the pushing member 6 moves, the concave part 622 contacts the end of the spinous process and pushes the spinous process and vertebral body to move obliquely upward. like Figure 9 As shown, during the movement of the slide plate 61, the guide part 611 is in contact with the edge of the elastic plate 54. When the pusher 6 pushes the cone, the slide plate 61 squeezes the elastic plate 54, which in turn deforms the elastic plate 54 and drives the rubber block 55 to move. At this time, the rubber block 55 is squeezed and pressed against the inner wall of the opening 104. The movable block 5 is fixed by frictional resistance, ensuring the stability of the position of the pusher 6 during the pushing process. After the brace is put on, the patient can stand and move around. At this time, some of the pressure from above acts on the pusher 6, thereby reducing the compression of the interosseous space of the fracture site by gravity, preserving the growth space of the fracture site, and the medication inside the physiotherapy pack 52 can be continuously absorbed through the skin, improving the treatment effect on the fracture site. After use, the patient lies face down on the bed and rotates the bolt 53 in the opposite direction to separate the push head 62 from the vertebral body. During this process, the elastic plate 54 drives the rubber block 55 to retract into the movable block 5. Then, assist the patient to turn over and lie flat. At this time, the brace can be removed.
