Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fracture reduction instruments, and more specifically, to a metacarpal fracture reduction, positioning and fixing device. Background Art

[0002] Metacarpal fracture is one of the common hand fractures. The metacarpal bone is composed of 5 bones, and metacarpal fractures mostly occur in the first metacarpal bone. The main clinical manifestations are local swelling and pain, functional impairment, obvious tenderness or metacarpal shortening and deformity. This disease can be caused by direct and indirect violence, and is more common in adults and less common in children. If this type of fracture is well reduced, correctly fixed and properly cared for, it can generally be cured with a good prognosis. Untimely or improper treatment may leave fracture deformities and affect the patient's quality of life.

[0003] Surgical treatment of metacarpal fractures includes closed reduction and Kirschner wire fixation and open reduction and plate and screw fixation. There are problems with intraoperative reduction, and the position after reduction is difficult to maintain. Fracture fixation requires repeated operations and is difficult to complete in one go. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to provide a metacarpal fracture reduction, positioning and fixing device, which is an instrument capable of reducing, positioning and fixing broken bones.

[0005] The above technical purpose of the utility model is achieved through the following technical scheme: a metacarpal fracture reduction, positioning and fixation device, comprising an entry rod, an external fixation rod and an elbow.

[0006] The entry rod is inserted into the metacarpal bone, the entry rod is divided into a rod portion and a tip portion and an oblique insertion portion respectively arranged at both ends of the rod portion, and a plurality of second threaded holes are opened in the axial direction of the rod portion;

[0007] The external fixation rod is placed outside the metacarpal bone, and a plurality of first threaded holes matching the second threaded holes are formed in the axial direction of the external fixation rod;

[0008] The elbow is used to connect and fix the entry rod and the external fixing rod to each other. One end of the elbow is detachably connected to the end of the oblique insertion part away from the rod part, and the end of the elbow away from the oblique insertion part is detachably connected to the end of the external fixing rod. A positioning hole is provided on the elbow.

[0009] The entry rod can ensure that after entering the metacarpal bone, the internal positioning effect and adjustment function can be achieved, and the auxiliary adjustment Kirschner wire provides a positioning point; the setting of the external fixation rod assists the entry rod to fix the end of the adjusted Kirschner wire, and the setting of the elbow can ensure that the positional relationship between the entry rod and the external fixation rod is restricted and will not change due to external force.

[0010] The utility model is further configured as follows: a fixing component is also arranged inside the oblique insertion part near the connection between the oblique insertion part and the rod part.

[0011] By providing the fixing component, it can be ensured that the position of the entry rod after entering the metacarpal bone will not move axially along the hollow position in the bone.

[0012] The utility model is further configured as follows: the fixing component includes a fixing cone arranged in the oblique insertion part, a connecting plate is arranged on the bottom side of the fixing cone, one end of the connecting plate away from the fixing cone is rotatably connected to the oblique insertion part, and a spring is arranged on the bottom surface of the fixing cone.

[0013] The setting of the fixing cone can prevent the entry rod from moving forward and backward, and the fixing cone can achieve an anchoring effect with the inner wall of the intrabone space.

[0014] The utility model is further configured as follows: the second threaded hole is a threaded hole with an open end.

[0015] The threaded hole passing through the opening is a half hole here instead of a through hole, and the fixing effect of the half hole is better.

[0016] The utility model is further configured as follows: the first threaded hole is a threaded through hole.

[0017] The first threaded hole is a through hole that can be fixed twice, which is equivalent to first using an adjustment Kirschner wire for adjustment, then inserting an external fixation rod from the tail end of the adjustment Kirschner wire, and finally adding a bent pipe to achieve the fixation effect.

[0018] The utility model is further configured as follows: a first oblique insertion hole is provided at one end of the external fixing rod close to the elbow, a second oblique insertion hole is provided at one end of the entry rod close to the elbow, and the axes of the first oblique insertion hole and the second oblique insertion hole are collinear.

[0019] The provision of the first oblique insertion hole and the second oblique insertion hole can effectively achieve the effect of temporary positioning.

[0020] In summary, the utility model has the following beneficial effects: the entry rod can ensure that the internal positioning effect and adjustment effect can be achieved after entering the metacarpal bone, and the auxiliary adjusted Kirschner wire provides a positioning point; and the setting of the external fixation rod assists the entry rod in fixing the end of the adjusted Kirschner wire, and the setting of the elbow can ensure that the positional relationship between the entry rod and the external fixation rod is restricted and will not change due to external force.
