Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of femoral medical treatment, in particular to an intramedullary nail for treating femoral fractures. Background Art
[0002] A femur fracture is a break in the thighbone (femur), and it can occur anywhere along the fracture site. Intramedullary nailing is a medical-surgical technique that is commonly used to treat femur fractures.
[0003] The background of intramedullary nail surgery can be traced back to the 1920s. Initially, the use of intramedullary nails was mainly to provide internal support to the bone to promote the healing and recovery of fractures. With the improvement and advancement of technology, the design and materials of intramedullary nails have also been improved, making the operation safer and more effective.
[0004] Intramedullary nailing is a procedure that inserts a metal nail into the femoral shaft to stabilize the fracture, thereby stabilizing the bone and promoting fracture healing. The procedure is usually performed under local or general anesthesia, with the nail inserted through an incision through the skin and soft tissue. Intramedullary nails are usually made of steel or titanium, which have sufficient strength and rigidity to support the stability of the fracture site.
[0005] However, the intramedullary nail for existing femoral fractures may be displaced during or after surgery, which may lead to bone instability or irreparable fracture. Therefore, in order to increase the stability of the intramedullary nail during use and prevent displacement of the intramedullary nail, an intramedullary nail is proposed that can support the inside of the femur during fixation and prevent displacement of the intramedullary nail. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an intramedullary nail for treating femoral fractures, so as to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.
[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: an intramedullary nail for treating femoral fractures, comprising a femur, a main nail being provided on the inner wall of the femur, a first bone nail being provided on the surface of the main nail, a second bone nail being provided on the surface of the main nail, a third bone nail being provided below the second bone nail, a fixing nail being adapted to be provided on the surface of the main nail, and an expansion device being adapted to be provided at one end of the fixing nail.
[0008] Furthermore, the first bone screw is installed vertically at 90 degrees on one side surface of the main screw.
[0009] Furthermore, the second bone screw and the third bone screw are both installed obliquely in the main screw.
[0010] Furthermore, the fixing nail is installed obliquely inside the main nail, and a reciprocating screw rod is adapted to be provided at one end of the fixing nail.
[0011] Furthermore, the second bone screw, the third bone screw and the fixation screw form a triangular stable structure in the femur.
[0012] Furthermore, the expansion device includes a positioning ring fixedly mounted on the surface of the reciprocating screw rod, a limit plate is fixedly provided on one side of the positioning ring, an expansion rod is movably provided on the surface of the limit plate, a support ring is adapted to be provided on the surface of the reciprocating screw rod, a fixing ring is fixedly provided on one side of the support ring, support rods are evenly provided on the surface of the support ring, a support plate is adapted to be provided at one end of the support rod, and the support rod and the expansion rod are movably connected through the support plate.
[0013] Preferably, in order to provide better support for the femoral head and prevent displacement of the intramedullary nail, an expansion device is provided at one end of the fixing nail.
[0014] Preferably, in order to increase the fixation of the bone screw to the femur, a second bone screw is provided at one end of the main screw, and a third bone screw is provided at one end of the main screw.
[0015] Preferably, in order to increase the stability of the device, the second bone screw, the third bone screw and the fixation screw form a triangular stable structure.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0017] (1) In order to better support the femoral head and prevent displacement of the intramedullary nail, an expansion device is provided at one end of the fixing nail. When in use, the fixing nail is tilted and driven into the femur so that the fixing nail penetrates the surface of the main nail. When fixation is completed, the fixing nail is rotated so that the rotation of the fixing nail drives the reciprocating screw at one end to rotate, so that the fixing nail drives the positioning ring and the support ring to move in opposite directions during the rotation process, so that the positioning ring and the support ring respectively drive the expansion rod and the support rod to move in angle when moving, so that the expansion rod and the support rod can adjust and limit the angle according to the support plate and the limit plate, so that the expansion rod can support various places when unfolded. Multiple expansion rods have a supporting effect on the femoral head. Multiple expansion rods disperse the pressure of the femoral head, avoiding the problem of stress concentration caused by a single support point, and at the same time making the force distribution of the hip joint more uniform, reducing excessive pressure on any part, thereby reducing the risk of hip joint injury and deformation of the instrument, and can be personalized according to the patient's fracture type and severity, so it is suitable for many different types of hip fractures.
[0018] (2) In order to increase the fixation of the femur by the bone screws, a second bone screw is provided at one end of the main screw, and a third bone screw is provided at one end of the main screw. In order to increase the stability of the bone screws, the second bone screw, the third bone screw and the fixing screw form a triangular stable structure, so that the second bone screw and the third bone screw are driven into the inner wall of the femur at an inclined angle and penetrate the main screw at a cross angle. At the same time, the fixing screw is driven into the inner wall of the femur at an inclined angle and penetrates the main screw at an inclined angle, so that the fixing screw, the second bone screw and the third bone screw form a triangular structure to support the inside of the femur, thereby ensuring the stability of the femoral fracture position.
