Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a customized joint for intertrochanteric fractures of the femur in the elderly. Background Art

[0002] As a method of treating hip joint diseases, total hip replacement has been widely recognized by orthopedic surgeons after nearly a decade of development. With the increasing number of total hip replacement surgeries, artificial joint replacement has been greatly improved and enhanced from surgical technology to prosthesis design, and the requirements for hip prosthesis installation are also getting higher and higher. It provides another individualized solution and clinical thinking model for elderly / very elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures, and provides a new medical approach to the social problems that need to be solved urgently due to the aging population.

[0003] An artificial femur for hip replacement that is easy to calibrate position is disclosed in the Chinese utility model patent application disclosure CN216394386U. Although the angle between the positioning groove passing through the center of the femoral head and the force line of the human femur is adjusted to keep the center of the femoral head parallel to the center of the greater trochanter of the femur, and the positioning groove and the force line of the human femur are kept perpendicular, the femoral stem can be fixed by passing a Kirschner wire through the positioning groove to quickly adjust the position of the artificial joint and improve the efficiency of the operation, it is unable to achieve early bone mechanical stability, facilitate bone ingrowth in the long term, and achieve proximal femoral biological fixation. At the same time, the existing large size deviation is usually achieved by using fixing bolts or Kirschner wires for positioning and fixing, which is very prone to dislocation and detachment. Therefore, we propose a new device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
