Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of orthopedic joint replacement, in particular to a locator for artificial hip joint replacement of femoral apex. Background Art

[0002] The hip joint is composed of the acetabulum and the femoral head. It is a typical ball-and-socket joint. It is wrapped in a strong, thick and tough joint capsule, surrounded by many ligaments and powerful muscle groups, and is extremely stable. The acetabulum is an inverted cup-shaped deep socket in the middle of the lateral surface of the hip bone, facing forward, outward and downward. It is composed of the ilium, ischium and pubic body, and articulates with the femoral head. The acetabulum joint cavity is the strongest and deepest in the upper posterior part. The articular cartilage is horseshoe-shaped or half-moon-shaped, called the lunar surface. The upper part is wider and thicker, and the front and back parts are slightly narrower and thinner. The bottom of the acetabulum in the center without articular cartilage is called the acetabular fossa. The surface of the fossa is filled with adipose tissue covered with synovium, which can be squeezed out or inhaled as the intra-articular pressure increases or decreases to maintain the balance of intra-articular pressure. When the normal acetabulum is in an upright position, its entrance plane is outward, forward and downward. The angle of outward and downward tilt is generally the abduction angle, and the angle of forward tilt is the anteversion angle. The abduction angle is 40°±10°, and the anteversion angle is 15°±10°. The femoral head is slightly flat at the top, and the whole body is spherical, accounting for about 2 / 3 of the spherical surface, tilting inward, upward, and forward, and articulating with the acetabulum. The front of the femoral neck is relatively flat, and the back is smooth and concave; the upper edge is short and blunt, and moves outward and downward to the greater trochanter of the femur; the lower edge is long and sharp, and moves outward and downward to the lesser trochanter of the femur. The axis of the femoral neck and the longitudinal axis of the femoral shaft form a neck-shaft angle of about 110° to 140°, with an average of 127°. An angle greater than this is called coxa valga, and an angle less than this is called coxa varum. In the sagittal plane, the long axis of the femoral neck and the frontal plane of the femoral shaft form another angle, called the anteversion angle, which is about 12° to 15 in adults. The main purpose of artificial hip replacement is to relieve hip pain, correct deformities, and restore and improve the movement function of the hip joint.

[0003] The existing document with publication number CN213190328U discloses a locator for the apex of the femur in artificial hip replacement, including a center seat, a column, a crossbar, a pointer and a semicircular disk; a crossbar is fixed on the center seat, one end of the crossbar is an anterior superior iliac spine positioning contact, and the other end is a pubic symphysis positioning contact, and the inner sides of the contacts at both ends of the crossbar are respectively connected to the semicircular disk, and the semicircular disk is provided with angle scale lines, and a pointer is provided on the center seat, and the pointer and the semicircular disk are in the same plane, and the pointer can rotate around the center seat; a column is connected to the center seat, and the column is perpendicular to the plane where the semicircular disk is located, and the top of the center seat is an acetabulum positioning contact; the pointer points to the apex of the greater trochanter, and the direction angle required for the prosthesis is read according to the pointer, and the length of the prosthesis is measured. The device is convenient for locating the acetabulum position, measuring the length and direction of the required prosthesis, and facilitating later surgery.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The present invention includes but is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0028] Embodiment 1:

[0029] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the utility model provides a locator for the apex of the femur of an artificial hip replacement, comprising: a support mechanism 1, one end of the support mechanism 1 is equipped with two cross bars 2, the end of the cross bar 2 is equipped with a positioning pin 3, and one side of the two cross bars 2 is equipped with a foldable angle ruler 4, such as Figure 2 As shown, the cross bar 2 and the angle ruler 4 can be folded inwards, and a pointer 5 and a limiter 13 are installed on the support mechanism 1. The limiter 13 is used to limit the cross bar 2. When in use, Figure 1 As shown, find the anterior superior iliac spine and pubic symphysis, insert two positioning needles 3 into the anterior superior iliac spine and pubic symphysis of the human body respectively, so that the device is fixed and stable, rotate the support mechanism 1, and make the pointer 5 rotate accordingly. When the pointer 5 points to the greater trochanter position, read the angle according to the scale line on the angle ruler 4 that is aligned with the pointer 5 to obtain the direction of the prosthesis, and then measure the prosthesis depth in this direction, which can facilitate the replacement of the hip joint prosthesis root and is easy to use. When the device is used, rotate the limiter 13 to release the angle limit on the cross bar 12, and then bend the distal end of the cross bar 2 (the end with the positioning needle 3) to the side close to the support mechanism 1, so that the cross bar 2 flips over, and the angle ruler 4 is folded along with the cross bar 2, so that the device finally presents Figure 2 The folded state shown can effectively reduce the space occupied by the device, making it easier to store and transport.

[0030] By setting up a support mechanism 1, a cross bar 2, a positioning needle 3, an angle ruler 4, a pointer 5 and a limit piece 13, and by folding the cross bar 2 to the side of the support mechanism 1 and folding the angle ruler 4, the device can be easily folded, which can effectively reduce the space occupied by the device and facilitate the storage and transportation of the device.

[0031] Embodiment 2:

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the angle ruler 4 includes a first angle plate 6, two ends of the first angle plate 6 are hingedly rotatably installed with two second angle plates 7, one end of the second angle plate 7 is fixedly connected to the cross bar 2, and scale lines are set on the first angle plate 6 and the second angle plate 7. When in use, the cross bar 2 rotates to drive the second angle plate 7 to rotate. After the second angle plates 7 at both ends of the first angle plate 6 are rotated 90 degrees, the angle ruler 4 is folded.

[0033] By providing the angle ruler 4 including the first angle plate 6 and the two second angle plates 7, the angle ruler 4 can be conveniently folded.

[0034] Embodiment 3:

[0035] like Figure 4As shown, the support mechanism 1 includes a base 8, the base 8 is hinged to the cross bar 2, a limit plate 9 is installed at the bottom of the base 8, the limit plate 9 limits the bottom of the cross bar 2, a rotating shaft 12 is installed at the top of the base 8, the rotating shaft 12 is connected to the limit member 13, a handle 10 is installed at the top of the rotating shaft 12, and the handle 10 is fixedly connected to the pointer 5. When in use, when the device is as shown in FIG. Figure 1 In the state shown, the limit plate 9 limits the bottom of the cross bar 2, and the limit member 13 limits the top of the cross bar 2, so that the angle of the cross bar 2 is fixed. The handle 10 is held and rotated about the rotation axis 12, so that the pointer 5 rotates with the handle 10.

[0037] Embodiment 4:

[0038] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a socket 11 is provided on the handle 10. When the cross bar 2 is folded, the positioning pin 3 is inserted into the socket 11, so that the positioning pin 3 can be stored conveniently. The positioning pin 3 stored in the socket 11 is not easy to cause puncture when taking out the device, and is safer to use.

[0039] By providing the insertion hole 11 on the handle 10, the positioning pin 3 can be conveniently stored, thereby improving the safety of the device.
