Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of extraction of broken intramedullary nails, and particularly relates to an extraction device for broken intramedullary nails. Background Art
[0002] An extraction device for broken intramedullary nails is a supporting structure for extracting a combined broken intramedullary nail from the body. Intramedullary nails are often used for internal fixation treatment of tubular bone fractures such as femoral shaft fractures, tibial shaft fractures, or humeral shaft fractures. This surgical method has many advantages such as minimally invasive, intramedullary fixation, short operation time, and small injury. With the continuous development of technology, people's requirements for the manufacturing process of intramedullary nails are also getting higher and higher.
[0003] Existing intramedullary nails have certain drawbacks in use. Occasionally, the intramedullary nail may break after surgery. In this case, the complete extraction of the intramedullary nail, especially the extraction of the distal part of the broken part, becomes a challenge. Forcible extraction may damage soft tissues and bone, bringing certain adverse effects to the actual use process. Therefore, we propose an extraction device for broken intramedullary nails. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides an extraction device for broken intramedullary nails. The device enters the intramedullary nail along the hollow part inside the intramedullary nail, reaches the distal end of the intramedullary nail after passing through the fracture end at the distal end, and then rotates the distal part of the device along the axis after pulling the extraction device, and clamps the broken nail to combine the intramedullary nail and the broken nail. At this time, after screwing in the screw core for fixation and then pulling out in the reverse direction, the intramedullary nail and the broken nail can be taken out, effectively solving the problems in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is: an extraction device for broken intramedullary nails, including an intramedullary nail, a broken nail, an extraction mechanism, and a screwdriver assembly. A hollow groove is provided in the middle of both the intramedullary nail and the broken nail. A fracture groove is provided at the fracture position between the intramedullary nail and the broken nail. The extraction mechanism passes through the hollow groove. A nail head is integrally formed at the front end of the broken nail. A rotator is provided at the position where the end of the extraction mechanism passes through the nail head. A rotating shaft is provided between the extraction mechanism and the rotator. A nail tail is integrally formed at the rear end of the intramedullary nail.
[0006] Preferably, a card slot is provided in the middle of the nail tail. A reinforcing rib is integrally formed at the bottom of the screwdriver assembly. A clamping member is integrally formed at the bottom of the reinforcing rib. A reserved groove is provided in the middle of the reinforcing rib. The clamping member matches the card slot.
[0007] Preferably, the broken nail and the nail head are integrally formed by casting. The intramedullary nail and the nail tail are integrally formed by casting. The intramedullary nail, the broken nail, and the hollow groove are all integrally formed.
[0008] Preferably, the rotator rotates and moves at the end position of the extraction mechanism through a rotating shaft. When the extraction mechanism passes through the hollow groove, the rotator is flush with the extraction mechanism. After the extraction mechanism passes through the hollow groove, the rotator and the extraction mechanism are locked and fixed by the thread at the distal end.
[0009] Preferably, when the rotator and the extraction mechanism are in a vertical state and locked, pull the extraction mechanism backward to combine the intramedullary nail with the extraction mechanism. At this time, the fracture groove is in a closed state.
[0010] Preferably, the screwdriver assembly drives the position of the nail tail to rotate and move through the clamping part and the clamping groove to extract the intramedullary nail and the broken nail, and the clamping part is engaged with the clamping groove.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model provides an intramedullary nail broken nail extraction device, which has the following beneficial effects: the intramedullary nail broken nail extraction device enters the intramedullary nail along the hollow part inside the intramedullary nail, reaches the distal end of the intramedullary nail directly after passing through the broken end at the distal end. After pulling the extraction device, the distal part of the device rotates along the axis, clamps the broken nail, and combines the intramedullary nail with the broken nail. At this time, after screwing in the screw core for fixation and then pulling out in the reverse direction, the intramedullary nail and the broken nail are taken out. The rotator rotates and moves at the end position of the extraction mechanism through a rotating shaft. When the extraction mechanism passes through the hollow groove, the rotator is flush with the extraction mechanism.

A rotating shaft 6 is provided between the extraction mechanism 2 and the rotator 5. A nail tail 14 is integrally formed at the rear end of the intramedullary nail 1. The device enters the intramedullary nail along the hollow part inside the intramedullary nail, reaches the distal end of the intramedullary nail after passing through the fracture end at the distal end, pulls the extraction device, and then the distal part of the device rotates along the axis and clamps the broken nail to combine the intramedullary nail and the broken nail. At this time, after screwing in the screw core for fixation and then pulling out in the reverse direction, the intramedullary nail and the broken nail are taken out.
[0020] A card slot 9 is provided in the middle of the nail tail 14. A reinforcing rib 10 is integrally formed at the bottom of the screwdriver assembly 12. A clamping part 13 is integrally formed at the bottom of the reinforcing rib 10. A reserved groove 11 is provided in the middle of the reinforcing rib 10. The clamping part 13 matches the card slot 9.
[0021] The broken nail 3 and the nail head 4 are integrally formed by casting. The intramedullary nail 1 and the nail tail 14 are integrally formed by casting. The intramedullary nail 1, the broken nail 3 and the hollow groove 8 are all integrally formed.
[0022] The rotator 5 rotates and moves at the end position of the extraction mechanism 2 through the rotating shaft 6. When the extraction mechanism 2 passes through the hollow groove 8, the rotator 5 is flush with the extraction mechanism 2. After the extraction mechanism 2 passes through the hollow groove 8, the rotator 5 and the extraction mechanism 2 are locked and fixed by the threads at the distal end.
[0023] When the rotator 5 and the extraction mechanism 2 are in a vertical state and locked, pull the extraction mechanism 2 backward to combine the intramedullary nail 1 and the extraction mechanism 2. At this time, the fracture groove 7 is in a closed state.
[0024] The screwdriver assembly 12 drives the nail tail 14 to rotate and move through the clamping part 13 and the card slot 9 to take out the intramedullary nail 1 and the broken nail 3, and the clamping part 13 is engaged with the card slot 9.
