Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of foot bone treatment, and more specifically, it relates to an artificial ligament fixation device. Background Art
[0002] The metatarsophalangeal joint, namely the Lisfrance joint, is the joint between the forefoot and the midfoot, that is, the joint formed by the bases of the first, second, and third metatarsal bones and the corresponding cuneiform bones, and the joint formed by the bases of the fourth and fifth metatarsal bones and the cuboid bone. Among them, the joint between the metatarsal bone and the cuneiform bone is the metatarsocuneiform joint. The metatarsophalangeal joint belongs to a plane joint and can perform slight sliding, flexion, and extension movements. The metatarsophalangeal joint participates in the formation of the medial longitudinal arch of the foot (the first metatarsal bone and the medial cuneiform bone), the lateral longitudinal arch (the fifth metatarsal bone and the cuboid bone), and the intermediate transverse arch (the medial, middle, and lateral cuneiform bones and the cuboid bone), and plays an important role in maintaining the normal shape of the foot.
[0003] Injuries to the metatarsophalangeal joint include sprains, subluxations, fracture dislocations, etc., which can cause local functional disorders, pain, and swelling. In the later stage, it will also lead to changes in foot mechanics and traumatic arthritis. Therefore, injuries to the metatarsophalangeal joint should be treated early by reduction and fixation. Generally, the treatment only corrects through an artificial ligament and then directly bandages without fixation. When the patient twists during correction, secondary trauma is likely to occur.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an artificial ligament fixation device to solve the above problems. Summary of the Utility Model
[0005] Based on the above problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the embodiments of the present application is to provide an artificial ligament fixation device with good fixation effect, which is more practical and comfortable for patients during treatment.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present application to solve its technical problems is: an artificial ligament fixation device, including an ankle and an interfacial screw. The front end of the ankle is connected to a cuneiform bone, the front end of the cuneiform bone is connected to a metatarsal bone, a cuneometatarsal joint is fixedly installed at the connection between the cuneiform bone and the metatarsal bone, and fixing plates are arranged on the surfaces of the cuneiform bone and the metatarsal bone.
[0007] Further, the front end of the fixing plate conforms to the shape of the cuneiform bone, and the rear end of the fixing plate conforms to the metatarsal bone.
[0008] Further, fixing holes are formed on the surface of the fixing plate, threaded grooves are formed inside the fixing holes, threaded bumps are fixedly installed on the outer side of the interfacial screw, and the threaded bumps are in threaded connection with the threaded grooves.
[0009] Further, adjusting holes are formed at the side ends of the fixing holes.
[0010] Further, a cuneiform bone hole is formed on the surface of the cuneiform bone, and an artificial ligament is arranged on the surface of the cuneiform bone hole. The artificial ligament penetrates through two cuneiform bone holes.
[0011] Further, a fixing block is fixedly installed at the top end of the interfacial screw.
[0012] Further, a protective pad is arranged on the outer surfaces of the cuneiform bone and the metatarsal bone. A magic tape is fixedly installed at the surface connection part of the protective pad, and a sponge protective cloth is fixedly installed on the inner surface of the protective pad.
[0013] The beneficial effect of the utility model is that the interfacial screw is inserted into the fixing hole, and the fixing block is used to rotate the interfacial screw. At this time, the thread bumps on the surface of the interfacial screw will be threadedly connected with the thread grooves on the inner side of the fixing hole and turn into the cuneiform bone hole to fix the artificial ligament on the cuneiform bone, so as to correct the position of the cuneiform bone and the metatarsal bone with varus, and the fixing effect is good.

[0022] As Figures 1-3 shown, the present application provides an artificial ligament fixation device, including an ankle 1 and an interfacial screw 8. The front end of the ankle 1 is connected to a cuneiform bone 2, the front end of the cuneiform bone 2 is connected to a metatarsal bone 3, a cuneonavicular joint 14 is fixedly installed at the connection between the cuneiform bone 2 and the metatarsal bone 3, and a fixing plate 4 is arranged on the surfaces of the cuneiform bone 2 and the metatarsal bone 3.
[0023] The front end of the fixing plate 4 conforms to the shape of the cuneiform bone 2, and the rear end of the fixing plate 4 conforms to the metatarsal bone 3.
[0024] Fixing holes 5 are formed on the surface of the fixing plate 4, threaded grooves are formed inside the fixing holes 5, threaded bumps 9 are fixedly installed on the outer side of the interfacial screw 8, and the threaded bumps 9 are in threaded connection with the threaded grooves.
[0025] Adjusting holes 11 are formed at the side ends of the fixing holes 5. By forming the adjusting holes 11 on the surface of the fixing plate 4, when the sizes of the injured areas of patients are different, we can change the fixing positions of the interfacial screws 8 according to the adjusting holes 11, so that during the correction process, it can be more accurate and convenient.
[0026] Cuneiform holes are formed on the surface of the cuneiform bone 2, and an artificial ligament 6 is arranged on the surface of the cuneiform holes. The artificial ligament 6 penetrates through the two cuneiform holes.
[0027] A fixing block 10 is fixedly installed at the top end of the interfacial screw 8.
[0028] Protective pads 7 are arranged on the outer surfaces of the cuneiform bone 2 and the metatarsal bone 3. Magic tapes 12 are fixedly installed at the surface joints of the protective pads 7, and sponge protective cloths 13 are fixedly installed on the inner surfaces of the protective pads 7. By fixedly installing the sponge protective cloths 13 on the inner sides of the protective pads 7, patients will not feel uncomfortable during long-term wearing.
[0029] Specifically, the medical staff first pass the artificial ligament 6 through the cuneiform bone holes on the surface of the cuneiform bone 2 once, then fold it back to the metatarsal bone 3, and then pass it through the fixing holes 5 on the surface of the fixing plate 4 to fix the fixing plate 4 to the cuneiform bone 2 and the metatarsal bone 2. Since the shape of the fixing plate 4 is fitted to the cuneiform bone 2 and the metatarsal bone 3, the fixing plate 4 does not need to be bent. The medical staff will also customize the fixing plate 4 according to the patient's foot shape. After the installation of the fixing plate 4 is completed, the medical staff insert the interface screw 8 into the fixing hole 5 and use the fixing block 10 to rotate the interface screw 8. At this time, the thread bumps 9 on the surface of the interface screw 8 will be threadedly connected with the thread grooves on the inner side of the fixing hole 5 and turn into the cuneiform bone hole to fix the artificial ligament 6 on the cuneiform bone 2, so as to correct the position of the inversion of the cuneiform bone 2 and the metatarsal bone 3, and the fixing effect is good.
[0030] After the artificial ligament 6 and the fixing plate 4 are fixed, the medical staff place the protective pad 7 on the instep and adjust the size through the magic tape 12 to adjust it to the most comfortable state for the patient, so as to protect the injured position of the patient from being affected by the outside world.
