AI Technical Summary
Existing intramedullary nails cannot achieve 360° spatial curvature adjustment, making it difficult to adapt to the physiological curvature of irregular bones. Furthermore, the adjustment and locking operations are cumbersome, increasing the difficulty of surgery and the risk of complications.
An adjustable-curvature intramedullary nail is used, and the spatial curvature adjustment and shape locking of the intramedullary nail are achieved through a universal ball joint structure and traction linkage component. The shape locking component and the traction linkage component are integrated to form a linkage, simplifying the operation process.
It achieves precise fit between the intramedullary nail and irregular bone, reduces fracture reduction deviation and postoperative complication risk, simplifies surgical procedures, and improves fixation stability and safety.
