Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a bone screw fixation assembly. Background Art

[0002] Fractures are common injuries of the skeletal musculoskeletal system. Common fracture treatment methods use fracture internal fixation systems to fix the fracture site through bone drilling, tapping, plate implantation, screw insertion and other surgical procedures on the basis of fracture reduction, so as to maintain and protect the biological integrity of the fracture, surrounding tissue structure and blood circulation as much as possible, and finally allow the fracture to heal. Commonly used fracture internal fixation systems, although specifically manifested in different contact states between bone screws and steel plates or steel plates and bones, are all composed of matching metal bone screws and bone plates (commonly known as steel plates).

[0003] Denture implants are one of the conventional treatments for patients with edentulous and edentulous teeth, which promotes the recovery of the oral and maxillofacial system function. The success rate of implant placement is high. Studies have shown that after 3-7 years of loading, the cumulative success rate of implants in patients with edentulous teeth is 95.3%. However, in the long run, complications of implants are still prone to occur. With the increasing application of implant restorations in clinical practice, complications after implant loading have gradually appeared in clinical practice, such as loosening and fracture of abutment screws, implant fracture, etc.

[0004] Bone screw loosening is one of the common failure modes in orthopedic internal fixation and dental implant surgery. The mechanism of loosening is bone absorption caused by high radial stress. The bone screw loosening rate is higher in patients with osteoporotic fractures. In addition, bone screws only have mechanical fixation function, passively waiting for bone tissue / bone cells to grow and heal, and cannot actively regulate the fracture healing cycle and progress. The treatment cycle is long, the progress is slow, and there is a high risk of complications. Summary of the invention

After the assembly is completed, the anti-slip cover 2 will be tightly wrapped around the surface of the bone screw;

[0047] S6: Implant the bone screw 1 into the bone of the treatment area of ​​the human body.

[0048] The bone screw fixation method can improve the stability of the internal fixation screw / tooth implant after fracture surgery, and improve the success rate of fracture internal fixation / tooth implant surgery and the efficiency of postoperative healing.

[0049] After the bone screw fixation method is performed on a fracture internal fixation surgery / a dental implant surgery, the anti-slip sleeve can fill the gap between the bone screw and the bone, and between the bone screw and the bone plate, thereby playing an anti-slip role.

[0050] The bone screw fixation method can realize the local drug loading function by loading the drug on the anti-slip sleeve, which can greatly promote the healing rate and improve the treatment effect.
