Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical instruments, and more specifically to a punching aimer for ankle fracture surgery. Background Art

[0002] The ankle, or ankle joint, is one of the most critical and most vulnerable parts of the human body. Ankle fractures are caused by ankle trauma, which can cause dislocation or fracture of the internal bone structure. When performing ankle fracture repair surgery, the dislocated or broken bones must be repositioned first, and then the orthopedic needles are used to perforate the bones on both sides of the fracture position after repositioning. Finally, the dislocated or broken bones can be fixed directly with orthopedic pins or with hollow screws.

[0003] However, the bone structure at the ankle joint is relatively complex and contains more tissues. The bone perforator needle often deviates from the route when perforating the bone at the fracture site, making it difficult to ensure that the bone perforator needle penetrates the designated bone position according to the planned route.

[0004] Therefore, in ankle fracture surgery, how to provide an aiming device that allows a bone perforation needle to accurately perforate the bone at the fracture site along a specified route is a technical problem that technical personnel in this field urgently need to solve.
