Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of prostheses, and more specifically to a percutaneous osseointegrated prosthesis. Background Art

[0002] A percutaneous osseointegrated prosthesis is a prosthesis that is directly connected to the bone through surgery. It usually includes an intramedullary implant, an external prosthesis, and connecting parts between the two. The bone-implant contact is the inner surface of the cortical bone, which greatly improves the overall quality of life of amputees.

[0003] However, on the one hand, when a screw-type or press-fit implant is inserted into the femoral medullary cavity, the bone cortex around the end of the implant will lack sufficient stress stimulation when the implant performs its load-bearing function, resulting in bone absorption (osteolysis) around the bone-implant-skin interface, i.e., a stress shielding effect. Resident bacteria from the skin opening may penetrate the osteolytic bone and cause implant loosening and osteomyelitis. On the other hand, the connecting parts between the intramedullary implant and the external prosthesis are prone to breakage due to excessive stress.

[0004] Therefore, providing a stable percutaneous osseointegrated prosthesis is an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the utility model provides a percutaneous osseointegration prosthesis to increase bone strength and promote osseointegration.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A percutaneous bone integration prosthesis comprises an intramedullary implant and a prosthesis, and also comprises an extracortical implant and a connector. The extracortical implant is arranged outside the base of the intramedullary implant; the connector is located between the base and the extracortical implant, and the connector is connected to the base with an internal thread, and the connector is connected to the extracortical implant with an external thread; the prosthesis is installed at the bottom of the connector.

[0008] By adopting the above scheme, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0009] The extracortical implant can increase the density of the distal cortical bone, reduce the risk of fracture of the distal femoral bone, and avoid bacterial colonization; and the stress concentration of the implant inside the medullary cavity is dispersed to avoid the risk of fracture of the implant inside the medullary cavity. It can also induce bone regeneration inside the medullary cavity and outside the cortex, increase bone strength, and promote bone integration.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom end surface of the cortical outer implant is flush with the bottom end surface of the base.

[0011] Furthermore, the bottom end surface of the cortical outer implant and the bottom end surface of the abutment both extend 1-2 cm beyond the end of the bone.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes two fastening screws, which are horizontally and symmetrically installed on both sides of the cortical outer implant near the top.

[0013] It can be seen that the utility model provides a percutaneous osseointegrated prosthesis. Compared with the prior art, the utility model:

[0014] Changing the bone-implant contact from the inner surface of the cortical bone to the inner and outer surfaces of the cortical bone can induce regeneration of the cortical part of the femoral stump, increase cortical bone density, and avoid the risk of fracture or the risk of bacteria invading the body along the fracture site.
