Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of intramedullary nails, in particular to an intramedullary nail with wide general applicability. Background Art
[0002] Intramedullary nails are orthopedic internal fixation devices among medical devices, and are mainly used to treat long bone fractures, bone nonunion and the like. Its structure mainly includes an intramedullary nail rod, which is usually in the shape of a long strip. At the proximal end of the intramedullary nail rod, a proximal locking screw hole is provided. Current tibial intramedullary nail surgery requires matching intramedullary nails of different lengths. Different patients have different bone lengths and require intramedullary nails of different lengths. Although existing intramedullary nails have a variety of length specifications, there is still a situation where there is no intramedullary nail of the appropriate length to match the patient's bone length. At this time, it is necessary to follow up on the patient's bone length to customize a suitable intramedullary nail for use. This results in the patient being unable to receive effective treatment in a timely manner, and thus missing the best treatment. In fact, customized intramedullary nails will also increase the economic burden on patients. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. The described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0022] See also Figures 1 to 5 A widely used intramedullary nail comprises an inner nail proximal portion 1 and an inner nail rod 2. The inner nail proximal portion 1 and the inner nail rod 2 are different from the traditional integrated intramedullary nail structure, but adopt a split structure, and the inner nail rod 2 and the inner nail proximal portion 1 can move relatively. The lower end of the inner nail proximal portion 1 is a tubular structure, and the upper part of the inner nail rod 2 is sleeved in the inner nail proximal portion 1. The inner nail proximal portion 1 is provided with a flat surface 3 on both sides, and two threaded holes 4 are provided on the flat surface 3. The threaded holes 4 are provided with a locking screw 5 for locking the inner nail proximal portion 1 and the inner nail rod 2. The upper part of the inner nail rod 2 is provided with a connecting portion 6 sleeved on the inner nail proximal portion 1, and waist-shaped grooves 7 are provided on both sides of the connecting portion 6. When the locking screw 5 locks the inner nail proximal portion 1 and the inner nail rod 2, the end of the locking screw 5 is pressed against the waist-shaped groove 7. When it is necessary to connect the proximal end portion 1 of the inner nail with the inner nail rod 2, it is only necessary to lock the locking screw 5, and the locking screws 5 on the two plane portions 3 lock the two to achieve the purpose of fixing the adjusted length. The proximal end portion 1 of the inner nail is also provided with two first locking screw holes 8 for fixing the intramedullary nail with the human skeleton. The inner nail rod 2 is also provided with two second locking screw holes 9 for fixing the intramedullary nail with the human skeleton. The proximal end portion 1 of the inner nail is provided with a clamping portion 10, and the clamping portion 10 is symmetrically provided with a group of clamping bosses 11, and the inner nail rod 2 is provided with a clamping cavity 12 that matches the clamping portion 10. The matching of the clamping portion 10 and the clamping cavity 12 places the two to produce relative rotation in the circumferential direction. A group of connecting grooves 13 and arc-shaped covers 14 are provided on the plane portion 3, and a connecting boss 15 is provided on the arc-shaped cover 14, which is interference-fitted with the connecting grooves 13. The connecting boss 15 and the arc-shaped cover 14 are an integrally formed structure. After the arc-shaped cover 14 is connected to the plane portion 3, the locking screw 5 is prevented from contacting human tissue, thereby improving the overall safety of the intramedullary nail. A first conical portion 16 is provided at the proximal end portion 1 of the inner nail, and a second conical portion 17 is provided on the inner nail rod 2. The arrangement of the first conical portion 16 and the second conical portion 17 can facilitate the intramedullary nail to enter the human bone.
[0023] Working principle: When the length of the intramedullary nail needs to be adjusted, the staff first loosens the locking screw 5 and then holds the proximal end 1 and the inner nail rod 2 with both hands to adjust the length by pulling. After the length adjustment is completed, the locking screw 5 is locked to fix the length, and then the arc cover 14 is snapped onto the flat part 3 to isolate the locking screw 5 from the human bone tissue. Then, the intramedullary nail with a suitable length is implanted into the human bone.
