Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical instruments, in particular to an internal fixation system for posterior pelvic ring fractures. Background Art

[0002] Pelvic fracture is the most serious injury in trauma orthopedics, mostly caused by high-energy injuries such as traffic accidents and falls from heights, and is often accompanied by damage to important surrounding nerves, blood vessels and organs, with extremely high disability and mortality rates. The pelvis serves as the mechanical conversion center between the trunk and lower limbs, and 60% of the stability of the pelvic ring comes from the posterior ring structure. Therefore, reconstructing the anatomical structure of the posterior pelvic ring is crucial to restoring the stability of pelvic fractures. However, there is still a lack of ideal internal fixation devices for posterior pelvic ring fractures, making pelvic fracture surgery more difficult and risky.

[0003] Fracture dislocation around the sacroiliac joint is the most common cause of posterior pelvic instability. Traditional fixation methods include sacroiliac screws, tension band plates, and iliopelvic fixation. Sacroiliac screw fixation is less invasive, with mild soft tissue damage and a low postoperative infection rate. However, the risk of vascular and nerve damage with sacroiliac screws is relatively high, about 2%-15%, and it cannot provide vertical stability. Especially for elderly patients with osteoporosis, screw loosening and secondary fracture displacement often occur. Tension band plates are easy to operate and have a short learning curve. They can better maintain the horizontal stability of the posterior pelvic ring, but they also cannot provide vertical stability between the spine and pelvis. Iliolumbar fixation can provide vertical and horizontal stability of the posterior pelvic ring. The disadvantages are that the operation is traumatic, the postoperative recovery time is long, and the inserted iliac screw cap protrudes, which can easily cause skin pressure irritation, and complications such as wound infection, wound effusion, and skin damage caused by internal fixation bulge. It is often necessary to bite off a 1.5 cm deep groove at the insertion point of the iliac screw to prevent the screw tail cap from protruding.

[0004] In recent years, various internal fixation devices for posterior pelvic ring fractures have been reported, such as the Chinese patent application "A minimally invasive fixator for posterior pelvic ring fractures" (application number: 201310044989.1) and the Chinese patent application "Multidimensional internal fixation device and method for treating posterior pelvic ring fractures and dislocations" (application number: 202110863588.3). They can overcome the shortcomings of traditional fixation methods to a certain extent, but there are still disadvantages such as protruding tail caps of iliac screws, risks of irritating the skin, and insufficient anti-rotational force of the screws, which cannot cope with elderly patients with osteoporosis.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to develop an internal fixation system for posterior pelvic ring fractures that can solve the above clinical problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned background technology and to provide an internal fixation system for posterior pelvic ring fractures.

[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution of the utility model is: a pelvic posterior ring fracture internal fixation system, characterized in that: it includes a longitudinal connector, a screw and a transverse rod, the longitudinal connector includes a longitudinal rod, a first connecting member and a second connecting member; the first connecting member is slidably mounted on the longitudinal rod, and the first connecting member is connected to the screw;

[0008] The second connecting member is located at the lower end of the longitudinal rod, and the second connecting member is slidably mounted on the transverse rod; the first connecting member and the second connecting member intersect on a horizontal projection plane;

[0009] Both ends of the transverse rod are slidably connected to the rotating assembly;

[0010] The rotating assembly is provided with a universal locking hole.

[0011] In the above technical solution, the rotating assembly includes a vertical assembly and a horizontal assembly, the upper end of the vertical assembly is slidably connected to the transverse rod; the horizontal assembly is connected to the lower end of the vertical assembly, and the universal locking hole is located on the horizontal assembly.

[0012] In the above technical solution, the number of the longitudinal connectors is greater than or equal to 2.

[0013] In the above technical solution, there are three universal locking holes.

[0014] In the above technical solution, the screw is a sacral pedicle screw.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages:

[0016] 1) The utility model ensures lateral stability by connecting the transverse rod with the rotating assembly, and ensures longitudinal stability by connecting the transverse rod with the longitudinal connector; the good holding force of the rotating assembly cooperates with the pedicle screws longitudinally connected on the rear transverse rod to form a firm triangular fixation against longitudinal displacement, thereby improving the overall anti-rotation force; the utility model can be well applied to elderly patients with posterior pelvic ring injuries combined with osteoporosis, so as to cope with elderly patients combined with osteoporosis.

[0017] 2) The utility model can fix various crescent-shaped fractures by rotating the T-shaped rotating component according to the fracture line, and can also be applied to different pelvic posterior ring fracture and dislocation injuries such as sacral fracture and sacroiliac joint dislocation, thereby enhancing the practicality and stability of the utility model.

[0018] 3) A universal locking screw can be inserted into the rotating assembly of the utility model. According to the fracture line, a universal locking screw can be inserted into the outer plate side of the ilium to fix the ilium and sacroiliac joint, and connected with the transverse rod to form a multi-dimensional fixation, which is particularly suitable for elderly patients with osteoporosis. It not only overcomes the shortcomings of traditional sacroiliac screws that damage nerves and blood vessels due to "in-out-in", but also overcomes the risk of skin irritation of the tail cap of the iliac screw in traditional iliac-lumbar fixation, thereby reducing the probability of wound infection.
