[0026] The present application provides a bone fracture plate, which is described in detail below.

[0027] Figure 1 A partial perspective view of an embodiment of a bone fracture plate provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 for Figure 1 The cross-sectional view along the AA direction. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the bone plate 100 includes a relative upper surface 110 and a lower surface 120. When the bone plate 100 is implanted in the patient's body, the lower surface 120 of the bone plate 100 faces the patient's bones, and the upper surface 110 of the bone plate 100 is away from the patient's bones. The bone plate 100 also includes an inner surface 130, which extends between the upper surface 110 and the lower surface 120, and the inner surface 130 is surrounded by a through hole 131 extending along the first direction X. Among them, the through hole 131 can be a Kirschner wire hole for Kirschner wire to pass through. Of course, the through hole 131 can also be a hole on the bone plate 100 that plays other roles or functions, which can be determined according to the structure and position of the through hole 131.

[0028] The bone plate 100 further includes a threaded hole extending between the upper surface 110 and the lower surface 120 , and the threaded hole is used for a screw to pass through and be implanted into the patient's bone, thereby connecting the bone plate 100 to the patient's bone.

[0029] Continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The lower surface 120 of the bone plate 100 includes a limiting surface 140, and the limiting surface 140 encloses a suture groove 141. One end of the suture groove 141 is connected to the through hole 131, and the other end of the suture groove 141 extends to the edge of the lower surface 120. Therefore, after the bone plate 100 is implanted in the patient's body, the surgeon can use a suture needle (not shown in the figure) with a thread (not shown in the figure) from the top of the bone plate 100 through the through hole 131 of the bone plate 100 and the suture groove 141 below the bone plate 100 and then return to the top of the bone plate 100 to sew the ligament or other tissues with the bone plate 100.

[0030] Among them, the surgeon needs the suture needle to carry the thread along the inclined direction (with the Figure 1 and Figure 2 However, for most minimally invasive surgeries, the opening at the location where the bone plate 100 is implanted in the patient is small, and the operating space of the medical staff is limited. It is impossible to quickly and accurately insert the suture needle into the through hole 131, causing inconvenience to the medical staff during the operation.

[0031] In order to solve the above problems, the present application embodiment provides a bone fracture plate 100. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the bone plate 100 further includes an avoidance surface 150 , which encloses an avoidance groove 151 , and the avoidance groove 151 extends from the upper surface 110 to the inner surface 130 , and the avoidance groove 151 is used to avoid the suture needle.

[0032] The bone plate 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application forms an avoidance groove 151 extending from the upper surface 110 to the inner surface 130 of the through hole 131, so that when the suture needle carries the thread through the through hole 131 of the bone plate 100 in an inclined direction, the avoidance groove 151 can avoid the suture needle and play a certain guiding role for the suture needle, so that medical staff can insert the suture needle into the through hole 131 of the bone plate 100 more quickly and accurately within a limited operating space, making the implantation surgery of the bone plate 100 more convenient.

[0033] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the avoidance groove 151 and the suture groove 141 are distributed on both radial sides of the through hole 131. It can be understood that since the suture needle needs to pass through the through hole 131 and the suture groove 141 of the bone plate 100 in an inclined direction, by distributing the avoidance groove 151 and the suture groove 141 on both radial sides of the through hole 131, the avoidance groove 151 can better avoid the suture needle, so that the surgeon can accurately insert the suture needle into the through hole 131 of the bone plate 100 in an inclined direction.

[0034] Specifically, the avoidance groove 151 and the suture groove 141 can be respectively arranged symmetrically with respect to the same reference plane, so that the avoidance groove 151 and the suture groove 141 are accurately distributed on both radial sides of the through hole 131. Among them, the reference plane is parallel to the first direction X and the second direction Y. Of course, the suture groove 141 can also be arranged symmetrically with respect to the reference plane, while the avoidance groove 151 is offset by a certain distance relative to the reference plane. Alternatively, the avoidance groove 151 can also be arranged symmetrically with respect to the reference plane, while the suture groove 141 is offset by a certain distance relative to the reference plane. In addition, the avoidance groove 151 and the suture groove 141 can also be asymmetric structures, and the avoidance groove 151 can play a certain avoidance role for the suture needle when the surgical staff inserts the suture needle into the through hole 131 and the suture groove 141.

[0035] In some embodiments, the depth of the avoidance groove 151 gradually decreases in the direction away from the through hole 131. The depth of the avoidance groove 151 refers to the distance between the avoidance surface 150 enclosing the avoidance groove 151 and the upper surface 110 of the bone plate 100 in the first direction X. By gradually reducing the depth of the avoidance groove 151 in the direction away from the through hole 131, the avoidance groove 151 can be extended more smoothly from the upper surface 110 of the bone plate 100 to the through hole 131, and while having a good guiding effect on the suture needle, the influence on the structural strength of the bone plate 100 is minimized.

[0036] In some embodiments, the avoidance groove 151 may extend from the upper surface 110 to the inner surface 130 along the second direction Y, and the second direction Y is set at an acute angle to the first direction X, so that the depth of the avoidance groove 151 gradually decreases in the direction away from the through hole 131.

[0037] The angle formed by the second direction Y and the first direction X can be greater than or equal to 20°, so as to avoid the avoidance groove 151 being too small in depth, which causes the avoidance groove 151 to fail to avoid or guide the suture needle. The angle formed by the second direction Y and the first direction X can be 25°, 30°, 50°, 60°, etc., which can be determined according to the structure of the bone plate 100 and the suture needle.

[0038] In addition, the angle formed by the second direction Y and the first direction X can be less than or equal to 70° to avoid excessive change in the depth of the avoidance groove 151, which causes the suture needle to be unable to smoothly pass through the avoidance groove 151 and slide into the through hole 131. The angle formed by the second direction Y and the first direction X can be 35°, 45°, 55°, 65°, etc., which can be determined according to the structure of the bone plate 100 and the suture needle.

[0039] In some preferred embodiments, the included angle between the second direction Y and the first direction X can be greater than or equal to 20° and less than or equal to 70°, so that the avoidance groove 151 can provide better guidance and avoidance effects for the suture needle.

[0040] In some embodiments, the maximum depth of the avoidance groove 151 can be greater than or equal to 0.55 mm, so that the avoidance groove 151 has a better avoidance and guiding effect on the suture needle. The maximum depth of the avoidance groove 151 can be 0.6 mm, 0.7 mm, 1 mm, 3 mm, etc., which can be determined according to the structure of the bone plate 100.

[0041] In addition, the maximum depth of the avoidance groove 151 can be less than or equal to 6 mm to prevent the avoidance groove 151 from being too deep and affecting the structural strength of the bone plate 100. The maximum depth of the avoidance groove 151 can be 0.65 mm, 0.75 mm, 1.5 mm, 3.5 mm, 5 mm, etc., depending on the structure of the bone plate 100.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, the maximum depth of the avoidance groove 151 can be greater than or equal to 0.55 mm and less than or equal to 6 mm, so that the avoidance groove 151 has a better avoidance effect on the suture needle while minimizing the impact on the strength of the bone plate 100.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the avoidance surface 150 enclosed to form the avoidance groove 151 is an arcuate surface, and the generatrix of the arcuate surface is parallel to the second direction Y. In some embodiments, the maximum depth of the avoidance groove 151 can be greater than or equal to the radius of the avoidance surface 150, so that the avoidance groove 151 has a better avoidance and guiding effect on the suture needle.

[0044] In addition, the maximum depth of the avoidance groove 151 can be made smaller than the thickness of the bone plate 100 to prevent the avoidance groove 151 from being too deep and affecting the structural strength of the bone plate 100. The thickness of the bone plate 100 refers to the distance between the upper surface 110 and the lower surface 120 of the bone plate 100.

[0045] In some embodiments, the diameter of the avoidance groove 151 can be greater than or equal to the diameter of the suture needle to ensure the avoidance and guiding effect of the avoidance groove 151 on the suture needle.

[0046] The difference between the diameter of the avoidance groove 151 and the diameter of the suture needle can be greater than or equal to 0.1 mm, so that there is a sufficient gap between the avoidance groove 151 and the suture needle, which facilitates the insertion of the suture needle into the avoidance groove 151. The difference between the diameter of the avoidance groove 151 and the diameter of the suture needle can be 0.2 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.5 mm, etc., which can be determined according to the structure of the through hole 131 and the suture needle.

[0047] Alternatively, the diameter of the avoidance groove 151 may be greater than or equal to 1.1 mm, so that there is a sufficient gap between the avoidance groove 151 and the suture needle, so that the suture needle can be inserted into the avoidance groove 151. The diameter of the avoidance groove 151 may be 1.2 mm, 1.3 mm, 1.5 mm, 2 mm, 2.5 mm, etc., depending on the structure of the through hole 131 and the suture needle.

[0048] In addition, the difference between the diameter of the avoidance groove 151 and the diameter of the suture needle can be less than or equal to 0.6 mm, so as to avoid the diameter of the avoidance groove 151 being too large compared to the diameter of the suture needle, which results in the avoidance groove 151 having a small guiding effect on the suture needle and failing to accurately guide the suture needle into the through hole 131. The difference between the diameter of the avoidance groove 151 and the diameter of the suture needle can be 0.25 mm, 0.35 mm, 0.45 mm, 0.55 mm, etc., which can be determined according to the structure of the through hole 131 and the suture needle.

[0049] Alternatively, the diameter of the avoidance groove 151 can be less than or equal to 2.6 mm to avoid the diameter of the avoidance groove 151 being too large compared to the diameter of the suture needle, which results in the avoidance groove 151 having a smaller guiding effect on the suture needle and failing to accurately guide the suture needle into the through hole 131. The diameter of the avoidance groove 151 can be 1.15 mm, 1.35 mm, 1.55 mm, 2.15 mm, 2.45 mm, etc., depending on the structure of the through hole 131 and the suture needle.

[0050] In some preferred embodiments, the difference between the diameter of the avoidance groove 151 and the diameter of the suture needle can be greater than or equal to 0.1 mm and less than or equal to 0.6 mm, so as to ensure the guiding effect of the avoidance groove 151 on the suture needle. Alternatively, the diameter of the avoidance groove 151 can be greater than or equal to 1.1 mm and less than or equal to 2.6 mm, so as to ensure the guiding effect of the avoidance groove 151 on the suture needle.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present application, the avoidance surface 150 enclosing the avoidance groove 151 can be not only an arcuate surface, but also any surface that can avoid the suture needle, such as a curved surface, a rectangular surface, etc. When the avoidance surface 150 is a non-arc surface, the diameter of the avoidance groove 151 is the diameter of the inscribed circle of the cross section of the avoidance surface 150 perpendicular to the second direction Y.

[0052] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the boundary 160 between the limiting surface 140 and the inner surface 130 of the bone plate 100 is an arc transition, so as to avoid the problem that the boundary 160 between the limiting surface 140 and the inner surface 130 forms a sharp edge and cuts the suture. Specifically, the boundary 160 between the limiting surface 140 and the inner surface 130 of the bone plate 100 is a curved surface, so as to make the boundary 160 between the limiting surface 140 and the inner surface 130 of the bone plate 100 transition in an arc.

[0053] In the above embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own emphasis. For parts that are not described in detail in a certain embodiment, reference can be made to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.
