Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical instruments, in particular to an arc-shaped cutter for releasing the adductor pollicis muscle of minimally invasive hallux valgus. Background Art
[0002] The big toe of a person's foot points outward due to various reasons, which is medically called "hallux valgus". It is a common disease in orthopedics. Its symptoms include bone hyperplasia, joint deformation and pain, local swelling and ulceration, limping, etc. With the continuous development of society and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, people, especially women, have higher and higher requirements for the aesthetics of the feet, and the demand for hallux valgus correction surgery is also increasing. The requirements for surgery have also shifted from improving function to seeking beauty and minimally invasive surgery.
[0003] The minimally invasive Chevron and Akin osteotomies (MICA) proposed by Vernois and Redfern et al. in 2011 is known as the third-generation minimally invasive technology for hallux valgus. This technology requires minimally invasive release of the adductor pollicis muscle, but it is difficult to complete precise release through a small incision during the release process. Utility Model Content
[0004] The utility model solves the deficiencies of the prior art and provides an arc-shaped cutter for releasing the adductor pollicis muscle of hallux valgus in a minimally invasive manner.
[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:
[0006] A curved tool for minimally invasive hallux valgus adductor hallucis release comprises a tool body and a tool head located at the distal end of the tool body, the tool head comprises a probe connected to the tool body and a blade, the probe is located at one end of the blade and extends in a direction away from the proximal end of the blade body, an arc-shaped notch is provided on the blade, and the width of the arc-shaped notch is less than the length of the blade.
[0007] Furthermore, the arc-shaped tool for minimally invasive hallux valgus adductor pollicis release also includes a handle connected to the proximal end of the tool body.
[0008] Furthermore, the extending direction of the blade is perpendicular to the extending direction of the distal end of the blade body.
[0009] Furthermore, the blade body includes a first section near the proximal end and a second section near the distal end, the blade head is located at an end of the second section away from the first section, the angle between the first section and the second section is an obtuse angle, and the plane where the first section and the second section are located is coplanar with the blade.
[0010] Furthermore, the angle between the first section and the second section is 160 degrees.
[0011] Further, the probe is located between the extension line of the first section and the blade.
[0012] Furthermore, the distal end of the blade body has a triangular rib, the proximal end of the triangular rib is equal to the thickness of the blade body, the distal end of the triangular rib is connected to the probe and is equal to the thickness of the probe, and the thickness of the triangular rib gradually decreases from the proximal end to the distal end.
[0013] Furthermore, the thickness of the probe is 0.85-1.15 mm.
[0014] Furthermore, the length of the blade is 4 to 5 mm.
[0015] Furthermore, the vertical distance between the distal end of the probe and the blade is 1.3-1.7 mm.
[0016] Through the above technical solution, the utility model will not injure deep blood vessels and nerves when in use, and is suitable for operation in a smaller incision. The adductor pollicis muscle can be opened in an incision of less than 0.5 mm at the minimum, and no auxiliary incision is used, so that the operation is reduced from two incisions to one incision. Therefore, compared with the prior art, the arc-shaped tool for minimally invasive hallux valgus adductor pollicis release provided by the utility model can achieve precise release under a small incision, reduce the difficulty of the operation, and is conducive to improving the minimally invasive surgery technology for hallux valgus and significantly improving the treatment effect.

[0032] The “proximal end” referred to in the present disclosure refers to the end closer to the operator, and the “distal end” refers to the end farther from the operator.
[0033] See also Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the utility model provides an arc-shaped knife for minimally invasive hallux valgus adductor hallucis release, which includes a knife body 1 and a knife head 2 located at the distal end of the knife body 1, the knife head 2 includes a probe 21 connected to the knife body 1 and a blade 22, the probe 21 is located at one end of the blade 22 and extends in a direction away from the proximal end of the knife body 1, and the blade 22 is provided with an arc-shaped notch 221, and the width of the arc-shaped notch 221 is less than the length of the blade 22. Figure 4 As shown, after the arc-shaped notch 221 is provided on the blade 22, a blade tip 222 for cutting the adductor pollicis is formed at a position of the blade 22 away from the probe 21. The probe 21 on the arc-shaped tool for minimally invasive hallux valgus adductor pollicis release is used to detect the position of the ligament to facilitate release under blind operation.
[0034] For convenient holding, a handle 3 can be installed at the proximal end of the arc-shaped tool for minimally invasive hallux valgus adductor hallucis release, and the handle 3 can be plug-in connected or threadedly connected to the tool body 1. For easy cutting operation, the extension direction of the blade 22 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the distal end of the tool body 1.
[0035] In order to further facilitate the cutting operation, the blade body 1 can be bent at a certain angle. Figure 3As shown, the bent blade body 1 includes a first section 11 near the proximal end and a second section 12 near the distal end, the blade head 2 is located at the end of the second section 12 away from the first section 11, the angle between the first section 11 and the second section 12 is an obtuse angle, and the plane where the first section 11 and the second section 12 are located is coplanar with the blade 22. In a preferred embodiment, the angle α between the first section 11 and the second section 12 is 160 degrees.
[0036] See also Figure 3 As shown, after the blade body 1 is bent, the probe 21 is located between the extension line 4 of the first section and the blade 22 .
[0037] See also Figure 5 As shown, the distal end of the blade body 1 has a triangular rib 13, the thickness of the proximal end of the triangular rib 13 is equal to the thickness D2 of the blade body 1, the distal end of the triangular rib 13 is connected to the probe 21, and the thickness of the distal end of the triangular rib 13 is equal to the thickness D1 of the probe 21, and the thickness of the triangular rib 13 gradually decreases from the proximal end to the distal end. The provision of the triangular rib 13 can effectively improve the structural strength of the connection portion of the probe 21.
[0038] In some embodiments, the thickness D1 of the probe 21 is 0.85-1.15 mm. In a preferred embodiment, the thickness D1 of the probe 21 is 1 mm.
[0039] In some embodiments, the length L1 of the blade 22 is 4-5 mm. In a preferred embodiment, the length L1 of the blade 22 is 4.5 mm.

[0041] When the arc-shaped cutter is used to cut the adductor muscle for hallux valgus adductor muscle release, the probe 21 acts as a barrier, and the blade 22 can only cut outwards, so that deep blood vessels and nerves will not be injured. It is suitable for operation in a smaller incision, and the adductor muscle can be opened in an incision of less than 0.5 mm at the minimum, and it does not need to be used as an auxiliary incision, so that the operation can be performed in one incision instead of two incisions.
