Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of prostheses, and in particular relates to a restrictive ankle joint prosthesis. Background Art

[0002] Ankle osteoarthritis is a common disease among middle-aged and elderly people, characterized by ankle pain, limited ankle movement, and even affected walking, especially end-stage ankle osteoarthritis, which can seriously affect the quality of life of middle-aged and elderly people and cause long-term distress to patients. In related technologies, ankle fusion or tibiotalar fusion is often used for patients with end-stage ankle osteoarthritis who do not respond to conservative treatment.

[0003] The utility model with the existing authorization announcement number CN219000742U discloses an ankle joint prosthesis, including a tibial prosthesis, the lower surface of which is an inner concave surface; and a talar prosthesis, the upper surface of which is an outer convex surface, the inner concave surface and the outer convex surface are both arch structures in the front-to-back direction, and the tibial prosthesis and the talar prosthesis are rotatably connected via the inner concave surface and the outer convex surface; wherein a stop structure is arranged between the tibial prosthesis and the talar prosthesis.

[0004] With the above-mentioned technical solution, when the stop protrusion slides in the stop groove in the front-to-back direction, the stop protrusion can move to a position in contact with the two ends of the stop groove, thereby limiting the rotation angle of the tibial prosthesis relative to the talar prosthesis, thereby ensuring the range of motion of the ankle joint. However, with the above-mentioned technical solution, when the restrictive ankle prosthesis is used, since the patient needs to flexibly use the prosthesis, a certain pressure may be exerted on the prosthesis, thereby causing the connection position between the tibial prosthesis and the intramedullary rod to be subjected to greater pressure and torque. The connection position between the tibial prosthesis and the intramedullary rod of the prosthesis is only connected together by a thread, and does not have a buffer structure, which can easily cause the connection position to break, thereby affecting the service life of the ankle prosthesis.

[0005] Therefore, we proposed a restrictive ankle prosthesis to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0029] Two groups of stabilizing slide bars 10 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the prosthesis connecting plate 5. A first plate body 4 is arranged above the tibial prosthesis 3. The inner wall of the first plate body 4 contacts the outer surface of the connecting column 12. The upper surface of the first plate body 4 contacts the bottom surface of the prosthesis connecting plate 5. The first plate body 4 is arranged between the tibial prosthesis 3 and the prosthesis connecting plate 5 to reduce the friction between the tibial prosthesis 3 and the prosthesis connecting plate 5.

[0030] An intramedullary rod 7 is arranged above the prosthesis connecting plate 5, and a connecting groove 18 is provided at the bottom end of the intramedullary rod 7.

The outer surface of the connecting column 12 is sleeved with a second plate body 6, and the bottom surface of the second plate body 6 is in contact with the upper surface of the prosthesis connecting plate 5. Two groups of through holes 19 are provided on the upper surface of the second plate body 6.

[0032] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: when the restrictive ankle joint prosthesis needs to be installed and used to the position required by the patient, the medical staff first installs the talar prosthesis 1 to the patient's foot and uses the connecting needle 2 to connect with the flesh, so that the restrictive ankle joint prosthesis can be easily installed, and at the same time, the intramedullary rod 7 can be installed inside the patient's leg bone, so that the restrictive ankle joint prosthesis can be installed to the position required by the patient, and the restrictive ankle joint prosthesis can be used to replace the patient's ankle structure. When the patient walks, the sliding column 16 fixed under the tibial prosthesis 3 can be rotated and moved in the stop protrusion groove 8 and the stop groove 9 opened on the talar prosthesis 1, so that the ankle joint prosthesis can be used normally, and during use, the intramedullary rod 7 and the tibial prosthesis 3 can be rotated and moved.
