Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of Achilles tendon rupture fixation braces, and specifically relates to an adjustable fixation brace after Achilles tendon rupture surgery. Background Technique

[0002] Achilles tendon rupture is a common sports injury. After Achilles tendon repair surgery, the affected limb needs to be fixed with a plaster at 30 degrees of ankle plantar flexion and 30 degrees of knee flexion for 4 to 6 weeks. After 4 weeks, it needs to be changed to a short leg plaster for continued fixation for 2 weeks. This product directly designs a new type of Achilles tendon fixation brace. Initially, it is at 30 degrees of ankle plantar flexion and 30 degrees of knee flexion. Then, after 4 weeks, the brace above the knee can be removed and directly changed to a calf brace for fixation.

[0003] In the prior art, such as an adjustable limb brace for Achilles tendon rupture with the publication number of CN215307151 U, which relates to the field of Achilles tendon rupture rehabilitation limb braces, includes a bottom plate and two connecting plates. The lower ends of the connecting plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom plate through belts. The upper end of each connecting plate is fixedly installed with a telescopic rod. The upper end of the telescopic rod is fixedly connected to a fixing plate. The upper end of the fixing plate is fixedly installed with a support rod. An activity clip is rotatably installed between the two support rods. Straps are fixedly installed on both sides of the activity clip. In this utility model, through the setting of the telescopic rod, the distance between the connecting plate and the fixing plate can be quickly adjusted to adapt to patients with different leg lengths. Through the settings of the lower curved plate and the upper curved plate, it can be tightly fixed at the upper and lower ends of the patient's calf. Cooperating with the bottom plate, it can fix and protect the patient's Achilles tendon part. The whole utility model has a simple structure, is light, firm, convenient for installation and disassembly, has adjustability in multiple places, can be used by people with different leg lengths and foot lengths, and has high practicability.

[0004] In the above-mentioned patent, it is proposed that the existing adjustable limb braces usually can quickly adjust the distance between the connecting plate and the fixing plate through the setting of the telescopic rod to adapt to patients with different leg lengths, etc. However, when in use, it is not easy to disassemble and fix the adjustable limb brace, and the use is relatively cumbersome and troublesome, making it time-consuming and laborious when replacing and disassembling. When in use, the force on the patient's foot cannot be adjusted, making it easy for the patient to be injured again during training, resulting in a reduction in the practicability of the device. And the overall disassembly is relatively troublesome and requires medical staff to disassemble, etc., which is not convenient for the patient and their family members to disassemble by themselves. The used fixation brace does not have a certain degree of mobility at the patient's knee joint and ankle joint, resulting in the inability of the patient to train during training. Therefore, the utility model provides an adjustable fixation brace after Achilles tendon rupture surgery. Content of the Utility Model

The surface of the fourth fixing bolt 30 is threadedly connected with a foot protection pad 32 through an eighth threaded hole 31. A second slot 33 is opened on the upper surface of the foot protection pad 32. A dorsal foot fixing belt 34 is arranged on one side of the foot protection pad 32. A first magic tape 35 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the foot protection pad 32. A first gasket 36 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the first magic tape 35. A second magic tape 37 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the first gasket 36. A second gasket 38 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the second magic tape 37.

[0038] In this embodiment, through the cooperative setting of the first adjusting plate 25, the third fixing bolt 23, the first slot 26, the adjusting ring 27, the second adjusting plate 28, the second slot 33 and the fourth fixing bolt 30, when in use, when a person manually holds the adjusting ring 27 and places it in an appropriate position, then the first adjusting plate 25 and the second adjusting plate 28 are respectively inserted into the corresponding first slot 26 and the second slot 33. Then the person rotates the third fixing bolt 23 to fix the first adjusting plate 25 inside the first slot 26, and by the person rotating the fourth fixing bolt 30 again, the second adjusting plate 28 is fixed in the second slot 33, thus playing a role in facilitating the adjustment of the length of the adjusting plate to preliminarily adjust the force on the patient's foot when landing on the ground. Through the cooperative setting of the foot protection pad 32, the first magic tape 35, the first gasket 36, the second magic tape 37 and the second gasket 38, when in use, after the preliminary adjustment by the adjusting plate, the first gasket 36 is placed at the bottom of the foot protection pad 32 through the first magic tape 35.
