Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical instruments for fractures and provides a 3D printed guide pin insertion guide plate for scaphoid fractures. Background Art

[0002] The scaphoid bone is a carpal bone. It is the longest and largest of the proximal carpal bones. It is long and arc-shaped, like a boat. Among all carpal fractures, 82% to 89% are related to scaphoid fractures. The scaphoid has poor blood supply, and healing after fracture is almost entirely primary healing, with little callus formation. Therefore, scaphoid fractures require high fracture reduction. Only under the premise of anatomical reduction and compression fixation of the fracture ends can the fracture be more likely to heal.

[0003] At present, the mainstream treatment method is closed reduction and hollow compression screw fixation technology. In order to achieve anatomical reduction and strong fixation, the compression screw needs to be placed in a reasonable position through a guide needle to achieve satisfactory mechanical stability. To achieve this goal, clinicians need to repeatedly adjust the position of the guide needle under X-rays. This will increase the destruction of the scaphoid bone and may even cause the inserted hollow compression screw fixation to fail. In addition, this also increases the amount of radiography for clinicians, endangering the health of clinicians and patients. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a 3D printed scaphoid fracture guide pin insertion guide plate. The utility model can directly insert the guide plate into the ideal position through the positioning guide plate and the guide pin guide plate, thereby reducing the number of needle insertions and X-ray irradiations.

[0020] See also Figure 1-4 The utility model provides a 3D printed guide plate for inserting a guide pin for a scaphoid fracture, comprising a positioning guide plate 1 and a guide pin guide plate 3. The two guide plates are used before and after fracture reduction during surgery, respectively.

[0021] See also Figure 1-2 The positioning guide plate 1 is used to fit between the bony protrusion of the first carpometacarpal joint and the lister tubercle of the human body before fracture reduction; the positioning guide plate 1 is provided with a first needle sleeve 102 and a second needle sleeve 103 at intervals, which are used to insert the first guide needle 101 and the second guide needle 104 respectively so that the first guide needle 101 and the second guide needle 104 pass through the bones at both ends of the fracture site, and the first guide needle 101 and the second guide needle 104 are used for positioning the position of the guide needle guide plate 3 in the next step.

[0022] Specifically, in the utility model, the positioning guide plate 1 is designed in a 3D printing system before surgery according to a 3D optical scanning image of the patient's hand, such as a preoperative hand CT, and based on the acquired hand geometric contour model and fracture position, the first needle cannula 102 and the second needle cannula 103 are designed on the positioning guide plate 1, and the designed positioning guide plate 1 is printed by a 3D printer, so that the positioning guide plate 1 is personalized and can better fit the patient's hand. Preferably, the positioning guide plate 1 has a width of 1-2 cm and a length of 4-8 cm.

[0023] Continue to see Figure 3 and Figure 4A third needle cannula 303, a fourth needle cannula 304 and a fifth needle cannula 302 are arranged on the guide needle guide plate 3 at intervals. The guide needle guide plate 3 is used to fit between the bony protrusion of the first carpometacarpal joint and the lister tubercle of the human body after fracture reduction, and the third needle cannula 303 and the fourth needle cannula 304 are used to pass through the first guide needle 101 and the second guide needle 104, and the fifth needle cannula 302 is used to penetrate the third guide needle 301 so that the third guide needle 301 passes through the fracture seam 2, and the extension line of the center line of the fifth needle cannula 302 intersects with the fracture line.

[0024] Specifically, in the present invention, the guide needle guide plate 3 is obtained by 3D printing after the first guide needle 101 and the second guide needle 104 are inserted, and the positions of the first guide needle 101 and the second guide needle 104 after fracture reduction are simulated by 3D software, and then the third needle sleeve 303, the fourth needle sleeve 304 and the guide needle guide plate 3 are designed based on the positions of the first guide needle 101 and the second guide needle 104, and the fifth needle sleeve 302 is designed according to the fracture position. Preferably, the width of the guide needle guide plate 3 is 1-2 cm and the length is 4-8 cm.

[0025] In the present invention, when the guide needle guide plate 3 is designed using 3D software, the extension line of the center line of the fifth needle sleeve 302 intersects with the fracture line, thereby ensuring that the hollow pressure screw can pass through the fracture suture 2 smoothly through the third guide needle 301, so that the third guide needle 301 and the hollow pressure screw can be directly placed in the ideal position through the fifth needle sleeve 302, making the surgical operation more accurate and simple, reducing the number of needle insertions and the number of X-ray irradiation times, and reducing the pain of repeated needle insertions and the risk of excessive X-ray projections. Preferably, the extension line of the center line of the fifth needle sleeve 302 is approximately perpendicular to the fracture line. Since the fracture suture 2 is not necessarily in a straight line, the extension line of the center line of the fifth needle sleeve 302 is preferably at an angle of 80-100° to the fracture line.

[0026] Based on the structure of the above embodiment, the specific use and principle of the 3D printed scaphoid fracture guide pin insertion guide plate described in the utility model are as follows:

[0027] At present, the treatment of scaphoid fracture requires repeated adjustment of the position of the guide pin under X-ray, which is likely to increase the destruction of the scaphoid bone and may even cause the inserted hollow compression screw to fail to fix. Therefore, accurately locating the position of the hollow screw is the key to improving surgical accuracy. The utility model designs two guide plates to solve the above problems.

[0028] Before the operation, the patient's hand is CT scanned to obtain the geometric contour model of the hand and the fracture position, and the positioning guide plate 1 is designed in the 3D printing system. The first needle cannula 102 and the second needle cannula 103 are designed on the guide plate. The two needle cannulae are spaced a certain distance apart, and the designed positioning guide plate 1 is printed by a 3D printer. Using 3D printing technology, the positioning guide plate 1 can be personalized and better fit the patient's hand.

[0029] To perform the operation, first, the positioning guide plate 1 is fitted between the bony protrusion of the patient's first carpometacarpal joint and the lister tube, and the first needle cannula 102 and the second needle cannula 103 are located at both ends of the fractured scaphoid bone, and the first guide needle 101 and the second guide needle 104 are inserted into the first needle cannula 102 and the second needle cannula 103 so that the first guide needle 101 and the second guide needle 104 pass through the bones at both ends of the fracture site.

[0030] The fracture is manually reduced. According to the positions of the first guide needle 101 and the second guide needle 104 after reduction, the positions of the first guide needle 101 and the second guide needle 104 after reduction are simulated in 3D software. Based on the positions, the third needle sleeve 303, the fourth needle sleeve 304 and the guide needle guide plate 3 are designed. According to the fracture position, the fifth needle sleeve 302 is designed. The design requires that the extension line of the center line of the fifth needle sleeve 302 intersects with the fracture line. The guide needle guide plate 3 is 3D printed.

[0031] Remove the positioning guide plate 1, pass the third needle cannula 303 and the fourth needle cannula 304 through the first guide needle 101 and the second guide needle 104, place the guide needle guide plate 3, and make the guide needle guide plate 3 completely fit the skin. At this time, the first guide needle 101 and the second guide needle 104 play a positioning role. Since the positions of the first guide needle 101, the second guide needle 104 and the third guide needle 301 that is about to be inserted into the fifth needle cannula 302 are relatively fixed, the extension line of the center line of the fifth needle cannula 302 intersects with the fracture line. At this time, the third guide needle 301 is inserted from the fifth needle cannula and penetrates to the distal pole of the scaphoid bone, then the third guide needle 301 will definitely pass through the fracture line.

[0032] After the third guide needle 301 is inserted, after confirming that the position is good by X-ray during the operation, a hollow compression screw is inserted into the third guide needle 301, and the first guide needle 101, the second guide needle 104, and the guide needle guide plate 3 are removed to complete the operation.

[0033] Through the design of the utility model, the hollow compression screw can be directly inserted into the ideal position of the fracture seam 2 through the fifth needle sleeve 302 and the third guide needle 301, making the surgical operation more precise and simple, reducing the number of needle insertions and X-ray irradiations, and reducing the pain of repeated needle insertions and the risk of excessive X-ray exposures.

[0034] The above description is a detailed description of the preferred feasible embodiment of the utility model, but the embodiment is not used to limit the scope of the patent application of the utility model. All equivalent changes or modified changes completed under the technical spirit suggested by the utility model should fall within the patent scope covered by the utility model.
