[0002] During knee ligament reconstruction surgery, during the posterior cruciate ligament traction and implantation process, since the posterior cruciate ligament needs to be implanted from the distal femur to the proximal tibia, due to the human body structure, the two bone tunnels here are in a crossed state. During the operation, a traction wire is generally introduced from the anterior medial bone cortical surface of the proximal tibia to 2 cm below the posterior and outer sides of the knee joint, and then the traction wire is pulled out from the posterior gap of the knee joint. Due to the angle of the bone tunnel, there will be a blind spot in the posterior gap of the knee joint. The traditional method is to use wire grasping pliers to repeatedly search and then clamp the traction wire and pull it out, which is inefficient and troublesome.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field to provide a wire passer to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0028] In order to help those skilled in the art better understand the present invention, the following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments.

[0030] Reference Figure 1-3 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a wire passer, including a handle 1 and a rod assembly 2. The handle 1 is provided with a core push structure 11. The rod assembly 2 includes an outer rod 22, a first core rod 21, and a second core rod 23. The first core rod 21 is embedded in the core push structure 11. The outer rod 22 and the first core rod 21 are coaxially connected by an elastic assembly 24. The second core rod 22 passes through the first core rod 21, the elastic assembly 24, and the outer rod 22 in sequence. One end of the second core rod 22 is fixed in the first core rod 21 and extends outward. When an external force pushes the core push structure 11, the first core rod 21, the second core rod 22 and the core push structure 11 move in coordination. When the external force is removed or weakened, the elastic assembly 24 gradually recovers its deformation, pushing the core push structure 11, the first core rod 21, and the second core rod 22 in reverse. Since the outer rod 22 and the second core rod 23 both extend outward in a direction away from the handle 1 and extend in the same direction, the second core rod 23 can reciprocate inside the outer rod 22 and is protected by the outer rod 22 to prevent the second core rods 23 from being entangled with each other and causing plastic deformation.

[0031] In some embodiments, the outwardly extending end of the outer rod 22 is provided with a bending portion, and the second core rod 22 is a shape memory alloy, specifically, nickel-titanium alloy, with a preset curvature, and can automatically restore the original preset curvature after passing through the medullary canal.

[0032] In some embodiments, the elastic component 24 may be a spring or other elastic material.

[0033] In some possible implementations, reference Figure 4 As shown, the core-pushing structure 11 includes a push block 111 and a slider 112 that can slide in coordination. Specifically, to achieve the effect of overall sliding of the core-pushing structure 11, the push block 111 and the slider 112 can be interlocked or fixed by screws 113 that pass through the push block 111 and then into the slider 112, allowing the push block 111 and the slider 112 to slide in coordination. The first core rod 21 is embedded in the slider 112. When the push block 111 slides, it can drive the slider 112 and the first core rod 21 to slide in unison.

[0034] In some possible implementations, reference Figure 1-3 As shown, a slide groove is provided in the handle 1, and a slide groove track is provided in the slide groove. The core pushing structure 11 is provided in the slide groove and moves back and forth along the slide groove track. While the slide groove limits the moving distance of the core pushing structure 11, it can also prevent the core pushing structure from deviating from the direction when moved by external force, thereby affecting the positioning of the end of the rod body assembly.

[0035] In some feasible solutions, in order to better fix the first core rod 21 in the core pushing structure 11, a limiting step is provided inside the core pushing structure 11, specifically inside the slider 112, which can be fitted onto the outer wall of the first core rod 21. The central axis of the limiting step coincides with the central axis of the first core rod 21. Accordingly, the second core rod 21 is a variable diameter structure. The diameter of the first core rod 21 fitted into the limiting step is smaller than the diameter of the first core rod 21 fitted outside the limiting step. Figure 5 shown.

[0036] In some specific embodiments, an abutting step is further provided at one end of the slider 112 to abut against the end of the second core rod 21, thereby preventing the second core rod 21 from sliding out of the core-pushing structure 11 under force. Specifically, a cavity accommodating the larger diameter of the second core rod 21 can be formed between the abutting step and the limiting step, thereby better embedding and fixing the second core rod 21 in the core-pushing structure 11.

[0037] In addition, the first core rod 21 has a hollow structure, wherein the diameter of the hollow structure matches the outer diameter of the second core rod 22 , so that the second core rod 22 can be fixed in the first core rod 21 .

[0038] In some possible implementations, reference Figure 6 As shown, the end of the outer rod 22 extending into the interior of the handle 1 is flared. By providing a fitting head at the front end of the handle 1, the outer rod 22 is fitted over the flared structure of the outer rod 22, which is held open within the handle 1 and prevents the outer rod 22 from being pulled out of the handle. In some embodiments, the surface of the outer rod 22 to which it is fitted is provided with raised patterns, effectively securing one end of the outer rod 22 to the front end of the handle 1.

[0039] In some feasible solutions, an end cap 3 is further provided at the end of the handle 1 to ensure the stability and service life of the handle structure.

[0040] In some possible implementations, reference Figure 7-8As shown, the end portion of the second core rod 23 that passes through the interior of the outer rod 22 and extends outward is provided with a wire hook device, specifically, it can be a ring or a hook, and the ring can be an inverted water drop-shaped ring. When using the wire passer of the present application, for example, during knee ligament reconstruction surgery, during posterior cruciate ligament traction and implantation, the core push structure 11 is pushed forward to a certain distance, the wire to be pulled is passed through the wire hook device, i.e., the ring, and the core push structure 11 is released. Under the action of the elastic component 24, the core push structure 11 slides backward as a whole, and the traction wire is fixed to the end portion of the wire passer of the present application through the overall action of the rod body component 2 and the core push structure 11. Then insert the wire guide into the bone tunnel, and after passing through the tunnel, push the core-pushing structure 11 forward. At this time, the traction wire is inside the ring. Driven by the memory metal effect of the ring and the second core rod 23, the traction wire passes through the blind spot of the field of vision and appears in the posterior and superior gap between the condyles of the knee joint. The traction wire is directly sent to the doctor's operating field of vision. The traction wire can be easily clamped under direct vision, and the introduction of the traction wire is convenient and quick.

[0041] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
