Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a patella shaper. Background Art

[0002] Total knee arthroplasty is an effective surgical method for treating and repairing knee joint destructive diseases. Since the patella of Chinese people is generally thin and does not completely match the patella prosthesis supplied on the market, patella replacement is not suitable. If forced replacement is carried out, it may lead to patella fracture or patellofemoral joint tension, resulting in flexion disorder, that is, abnormal pressure and friction occur between the patella and the femur, leading to patellofemoral joint tension and discomfort, so that the patient feels pain and discomfort when flexing the knee, and even affects the normal activity ability. Therefore, during total knee arthroplasty, doctors may correct the patellar articular surface of the patient into a smooth joint surface that conforms to the curvature of the femoral prosthesis to ensure the curvature of the patella and the femoral prosthesis is anastomosed, thereby improving the surgical effect and the postoperative comfort of the patient. Currently, doctors in China generally use a saw to correct the patella into an arc shape. This method is difficult to make the curvature of the patella and the femoral prosthesis anastomosed, resulting in point contact between the femoral prosthesis and the patella, thus damaging the smooth surface of the femoral prosthesis.

[0026] In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the present utility model. It should be noted that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intermediate component.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific embodiments.

[0028] Refer to Figure 1 , an embodiment of the present utility model provides a patella shaper, which includes a patella clamp 10, a positioning bracket 20 and an arc file 30. The patella clamp 10 includes a jaw 11, a handle 12 and a hinge part, and the jaw 11 is used for clamping the patella. The positioning bracket 20 includes a fixed rod 21 and a moving rod 22. One end of the fixed rod 21 is fixed on the patella clamp 10. Specifically, one end of the fixed rod 21 is fixed on the hinge part of the patella clamp 10. The moving rod 22 is arranged at the end of the fixed rod 21 far from the patella clamp 10, and the moving rod 22 is arranged at an angle with the fixed rod 21. The moving rod 22 can move relative to the fixed rod 21 along a first direction. Specifically, a first connecting block 23 is arranged at the end of the fixed rod 21 far from the patella clamp 10, and the moving rod 22 is connected to the fixed rod 21 through the first connecting block 23. A first through hole is provided on the first connecting block 23, the moving rod 22 passes through the first through hole, and the moving rod 22 can slide in the first through hole. The first direction is the same as the axis direction of the first through hole, that is, the same as the length direction of the moving rod 22.

[0029] The first connecting block 23 is provided with a threaded hole, the hole axis of the threaded hole is perpendicular to the hole axis of the first through hole, and the threaded hole communicates with the first through hole. A locking bolt 24 is arranged on the threaded hole. By driving the locking bolt 24 to move towards the first through hole, the locking bolt 24 presses the moving rod 22, thereby locking the moving rod 22.

[0030] The arc-shaped file 30 includes a file 31 and a file rod 32. The file rod 32 is arranged at one end of the moving rod 22 and is arranged at an angle with the moving rod 22. The file 31 is arranged at one end of the file rod 32 close to the jaw 11. The file rod 32 can move along the second direction. Specifically, a second connecting block 25 is arranged at one end of the moving rod 22, and a second through hole is provided on the second connecting block 25. A sleeve 26 is sleeved on the file rod 32, the sleeve 26 passes through the second through hole, and the sleeve 26 can slide in the second through hole. The second direction is the same as the hole axis direction of the second through hole, that is, the same as the length direction of the file rod 32. Optionally, the sleeve 26 is fixedly connected to the file rod 32, that is, when the sleeve 26 is moved, the file rod 32 moves synchronously.

[0031] Optionally, the fixed rod 21 is perpendicular to the plane where the jaw 11 is located, the included angle between the moving rod 22 and the fixed rod 21 is 90 degrees, and the included angle between the file rod 32 and the moving rod 22 is 90 degrees.

[0032] Adjust the relative position of the file 31 relative to the patella, so that when the file 31 contacts the patella, the moving rod 22 moves along the first direction, and the projection of the file 31 along the second direction can fall on the patella; then move the file rod 32 along the second direction, and the file 31 can be made to approach the patella and contact the patella.

[0033] It should be noted that by adding the sleeve 26, the side surface of the sleeve 26 can be changed without damaging the arc-shaped file 30 to obtain the required shape.

[0034] The second connecting block 25 is a U-shaped block, and the second through hole penetrates through the opening of the U-shaped block, so that the side surface of the sleeve 26 is exposed on the opening of the U-shaped block. A limiting block 27 is arranged on the opening of the U-shaped block. The limiting block 27 is rotatably connected to the U-shaped block. After the limiting block 27 rotates, it can squeeze the sleeve 26 to lock the sleeve 26. Specifically, the limiting block 27 is an L-shaped block. Optionally, the side surface of the sleeve 26 has a flat surface. When the limiting block 27 rotates and squeezes the sleeve 26, a flat surface of the limiting block 27 fits on the flat surface on the side surface of the sleeve 26, so as to increase the contact surface between the limiting block 27 and the sleeve 26, thereby increasing the stability of the limiting block 27 after locking the sleeve 26.

[0035] An arc-shaped guiding plate 28 is arranged on the opening of the U-shaped block, and an arc-shaped guiding groove 29 corresponding to the arc-shaped guiding plate 28 is arranged on the limiting block 27. The guiding plate 28 can rotate on the guiding groove 29, so that the limiting block 27 can rotate around the second connecting block 25. A positioning hole 251 is arranged on the second connecting block 25, and a limiting hole 271 corresponding to the positioning hole 251 is arranged on the limiting block 27. When the limiting block 27 rotates and locks the sleeve 26, the limiting hole 271 is aligned with the positioning hole 251. At this time, a fixing column is used to insert into the positioning hole 251 and the limiting hole 271 at the same time, so as to fix the limiting block 27.

[0036] The patella forceps 10 further includes a handle 12. A spring piece 41 is arranged between the two handles 12. The spring piece 41 is bolted to the handle 12. When the patella forceps 10 is in a non-working state, the spring piece 41 provides tension to the handle 12, so that the handle 12 is in an open state, that is, the jaws 11 are in an open state. The patella former further includes a limiting rod 42. One end of the limiting rod 42 is connected to the first handle part. The limiting rod 42 passes through the second handle part. The limiting rod 42 is a threaded rod, and a limiting nut 43 is arranged on the limiting rod 42. The limiting nut 43 is located on the side of the second handle part away from the first handle part. When the jaws 11 clamp the patella, the limiting nut 43 is moved so that one side surface of the limiting nut 43 fits on the side surface of the second handle part away from the first handle part, so as to fix the included angle between the first handle part and the second handle part, and prevent the handle 12 from opening under the elastic force of the spring piece 41, so that the patella forceps 10 maintains the state of clamping the patella.

[0037] The described patella shaper further includes a femur clamping mechanism 50. The femur clamping mechanism 50 is disposed at the hinge portion of the patella forceps 10. The femur clamping mechanism 50 includes a knob 51 and two clamping rods 52. The two clamping rods 52 can move towards or away from each other under the screwing of the knob 51 to clamp or release the femur. Therefore, the solution of the knob 51 driving the two clamping rods 52 to move towards or away from each other is well-known in the art. For example, a gear is provided on the rotating shaft of the knob 51, and racks are connected to one ends of the two clamping rods 52. So the gear is disposed between the two racks, and the gear is meshed with the racks. The rotation of the gear drives the two racks to move towards or away from each other, thereby driving the two clamping teeth to move towards or away from each other. Therefore, this application will not elaborate.

[0038] A patella shaper disclosed by the present utility model, the specific implementation manner is as follows: When correcting the patellofemoral joint surface, the patella is fixed by clamping the patella with the jaws 11 of the patella forceps 10; the movable rod 22 is adjusted to adjust the position of the arc file 30 in the length direction of the movable rod 22, and the file rod 32 is adjusted to adjust the relative distance between the file 31 and the patella, so as to adjust the file 31 to the required working position, and then the patella is filed by the file 31 to achieve the required radian of the patella. Compared with correcting the patella by a reciprocating saw, the patella shaper disclosed by the present utility model adjusts the file 31 of the arc file 30 to the position where the patella needs to be corrected through the positioning bracket 20, can accurately file the position where the patella needs to be corrected, and ensures the filing radian, so as to achieve the radian anastomosis between the patella and the femoral prosthesis, avoid the point contact between the femoral prosthesis and the patella, and thus avoid the damage of the smooth surface of the femoral prosthesis.

[0039] As described above, the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present utility model, rather than to limit it; although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present utility model.
