Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of orthopedic medical treatment, in particular to an intramedullary nail for treating femoral fractures. Background Art
[0002] Intramedullary nailing is a common surgical treatment for femoral fractures. A femoral fracture is a fracture in the femur (thigh bone), which usually occurs when the leg is severely impacted or twisted. Intramedullary nailing can stabilize the broken bones and promote healing by inserting a metal nail into the femur. Intramedullary nailing is usually performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon makes a small incision at the fracture site and then inserts a metal nail into the femur at the hip or knee, through the broken bones, until it is fixed on the opposite side of the fracture. This stabilizes the broken bones and promotes normal healing of the fracture. The intramedullary nail is usually fixed inside the femur and does not appear outside the body.
[0003] Publication No.: CN109843194A proposes a headed intramedullary nail system with variable angle for treating femoral fractures, which helps to solve three main problems: fracture reduction, improved assembly biomechanics to ensure that the load axis is as favorable as possible to the bone fragments, and prevent femoral neck collapse and displacement and limb length loss, thereby avoiding the possibility of reduced abductor muscle strength. The system is based on a specific screw channel geometry and the provision of an additional locking screw, allowing the nail to rotate 360° and facilitating the insertion of the nail through the screw.
[0004] However, when the above intramedullary nail is in use, it may lead to a loose fit between the nails, causing relative movement and rotation between the nails, causing secondary injury to the patient. Therefore, a method is proposed that can increase the fit between the nail bodies of the intramedullary nail, prevent the movement of the nail bodies, and enable the oblique tension screw to be inserted and fixed at multiple angles. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an intramedullary nail for treating femoral fractures, so as to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0013] Preferably, in order to further limit the transverse tension nail and prevent the transverse tension nail from moving, a transverse positioning nail adapted to the transverse tension nail is provided at one end of the main nail.
[0014] Preferably, in order to enable the oblique tension screw to be inserted into the main nail at multiple angles, to fix the inside of the femur at multiple angles, and to increase the scope of use of the device, an adjustment ring is adapted to be provided on the inner wall of the main nail.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0016] (1) In order to fix the oblique tension screw of the intramedullary nail and prevent the oblique tension screw from moving, a transverse tension nail is provided in the main nail. At the same time, in order to further limit the transverse tension nail and prevent the transverse tension nail from moving, a transverse positioning nail adapted to the transverse tension nail is provided at one end of the main nail.

After the oblique tension screw is threadedly connected with the transverse tension screw, the transverse positioning nail is inserted into the fixing groove through one end of the main nail, and the positioning plate is embedded in the placement groove, so that the transverse positioning nail fixes the transverse tension screw, prevents the transverse tension screw from being displaced to drive the oblique tension screw to move, increases the firmness between the nail bodies of the intramedullary nail, and prevents the nails from loosely fitting, causing relative movement and rotation between the fittings.
[0017] (2) In order to enable the oblique tension screw to be inserted into the main nail at multiple angles, fix the inside of the femur at multiple angles, and increase the scope of use of the device, an adjustment ring is adapted to be provided on the inner wall of the main nail.

The oblique tension screw is threadedly installed on the inner wall of the adjustment ring so that one end of the oblique tension screw is threadedly connected to the limit groove when inserting the oblique tension screw. The installation angle of the oblique tension screw can be rotated by rotating the adjustment ring, so that the oblique tension screw can be applied to a wider range of situations, increasing the scope of use of the device. At the same time, the femoral fracture can be firmly fixed without destructive implantation, and complications such as screw withdrawal and screw breakage of the oblique tension screw that occur after conventional intramedullary nail fixation can be avoided.
