[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of bone cutting tools, and solves the technical problem of once cutting out a U-shaped bone groove in the distal tibial cancellous bone. BACKGROUND

[0002] Conventional bone cutting tools include bone chisels, bone knives, electric drills, milling cutters, and ultrasonic bone knives.

[0003] The prior art is that the surgeon holds a bone chisel or bone knife with the left hand and uses a bone hammer to knock out a bone groove of a specific shape with the right hand, which is inconvenient to use during surgery, time-consuming and laborious, and requires high surgical skills of the surgeon.

[0004] In addition, there are electric tools such as drills and milling cutters, which grind and process a specific bone groove by high-speed rotation of the tool head. This technology not only requires high surgical skills of the surgeon, but also causes heat damage to the bone tissue during the use of high-speed tools, leading to bone necrosis.

[0005] There is also an ultrasonic bone knife in the prior art, which uses high-intensity focused ultrasound technology to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, vaporizes water in tissue cells, breaks protein hydrogen bonds, and thus destroys bone tissue to produce a cutting effect. This method also requires the surgeon to hold and operate, and the precision is not enough.

[0006] However, the above-mentioned bone cutting tools have the problems of high surgical skill requirements of the surgeon or easy heat damage to the bone tissue. Therefore, the present application designs a semicircular arc limiting bone knife for artificial ankle joint replacement. SUMMARY

[0014] Or, the annular bone cutter is a U-shaped bone cutter.

[0015] The material of the U-shaped bone cutter is one of stainless steel and carbon steel.

[0016] Further, the operation handle is a round rod structure, and the connecting seat is connected with the lower end of the operation handle.

[0017] The connecting seat is an inverted trapezoidal structure, the top of which is connected with the lower end of the operation handle.

[0018] The bottom of the connecting seat is connected with the upper end of the U-shaped bone cutter.

[0019] Further, the through osteotomy groove in the U-shaped bone cutter is a U-shaped bone groove.

[0020] An osteotomy cutter blade is arranged on the top surface or the bottom surface of the U-shaped bone cutter.

[0021] Further, the outer diameter of the operation handle is greater than the maximum width of the U-shaped bone cutter.

[0022] The thickness of the connecting seat is the same as the depth of the U-shaped bone groove.

[0023] Further, the tibial distal end anterior cortical bone osteotomy guide plate comprises an L-shaped plate, a C-shaped groove and a second straight groove arranged on the same surface of the L-shaped plate, and a second U-shaped through groove arranged on the L-shaped plate.

[0024] The tibial distal end anterior cancellous bone osteotomy guide plate comprises an L-shaped plate, a first straight groove and a first U-shaped through groove arranged on the same surface of the L-shaped plate, respectively.

[0025] Further, the C-shaped groove and the second straight groove are not through.

[0026] In use, the annular bone cutter is used to cut the tibial distal end anterior cortical bone under the guidance of the second straight groove of the tibial distal end anterior cancellous bone osteotomy guide plate, then the tibial distal end anterior cortical bone osteotomy guide plate is replaced, and the U-shaped bone cutter is used to cut the cancellous bone on the first straight groove.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0028] The U-shaped bone scalpel in this application has a guiding and limiting part, which requires less surgical skill from the surgeon; the U-shaped bone scalpel is a cold knife tool, and the bone interface does not generate heat, so there is no risk of thermal damage to bone tissue; due to the limitation of its own shape, the bone groove processed by the U-shaped bone scalpel has high precision.
