Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a biological tibial prosthesis and a biological knee joint prosthesis. Background Art

[0002] Knee joint replacement surgery can effectively solve the knee joint diseases of patients, relieve the pain of patients, and restore the knee joint function of patients to a certain extent. With the rapid development of medical device technology and the continuous improvement of people's requirements for the safety, effectiveness, etc. of knee joint prostheses, the knee joint prosthesis technology is more mature and perfect, and different types of knee joint prostheses have emerged one after another.

[0003] Therefore, the application of biological knee joint prostheses is becoming more and more extensive, especially among young patients. The biological knee joint prosthesis achieves biological fixation through the direct bone ingrowth of bone and prosthesis. It overcomes the disadvantages of the mechanical bonding of cemented prostheses, promotes the integration of the prosthesis and bone tissue, improves the long-term stability of the prosthesis, and is convenient for later revision, with broad application prospects. For biological knee joint prostheses, whether a firm initial stability can be obtained is an important factor affecting its later bone ingrowth and long-term stability.

[0004] At present, the biological knee joint prosthesis is mainly fixed by the interference press-fit method, and the artificial tibial tray is fixed on the tibia to obtain a certain initial stability. However, the existing biological knee joint prosthesis is prone to loosening under walking loads, and complications such as tibial tray subsidence or tilting often occur, resulting in insufficient initial stability of the tibial tray. The reason is mostly that the tibial tray fails to achieve effective fixation or the transverse shear force generated by eccentric load causes micro-movement or displacement between the prosthesis-bone interface.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a locking structure that can enhance the initial stability of the biological knee joint prosthesis by strengthening the locking between the knee joint prosthesis and the tibia, and at the same time promote later bone ingrowth, which is of great significance for improving the service life of the prosthesis in the young patient group. The existing locking structures cannot continue to anchor the bone mass in the face of prosthesis subsidence and lose the locking effect. Summary of the Utility Model
