Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical auxiliary tools, and particularly relates to an auxiliary guide plate for high tibial osteotomy. Background Art
[0002] Most patients with knee osteoarthritis suffer from varus deformity of the knee joint. Due to the deformity of the patient's tibia, the mechanical force line of the lower limb is varus deformed, which causes uneven force on the patient's knee joint, causing knee pain or abnormal gait.
[0003] In medicine, high tibial osteotomy is the most commonly used treatment for patients with varus knee deformity. This osteotomy adjusts the patient's lower limb alignment, corrects the deformity, and thereby relieves leg pain and improves quality of life. During a high tibial osteotomy, the position and angle of the patient's lower limb alignment are analyzed and determined. An auxiliary guide is then used to position the patient's tibia, and an oscillating saw is used to perform the cut. Once the patient's lower limb alignment is achieved, a plate is used to secure the adjusted lower limb bones, completing the procedure.
[0004] Existing auxiliary guides are often 3D-printed in one piece. Their overall quadrilateral structure occupies a large space and has a large opening at the knee joint, which causes extensive stripping of the collateral ligament on the medial side of the proximal tibia, causing significant harm to the patient. Furthermore, existing auxiliary guides have numerous positioning holes for situating the tibia, requiring subsequent re-drilling of the plate. This additional hole not only increases the risk of injury but also significantly increases surgical risks such as infection. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the defects in the prior art of requiring a large opening of the patient's lower limb, more stripping of the collateral ligament on the inner side of the proximal tibia, and more drilling positioning positions, which cause greater harm to the patient and surgical risks, and provide an auxiliary guide for high tibial osteotomy with a smaller size, fewer drilling positions and reusable drilling holes.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the technical problem is: an auxiliary guide plate for high tibial osteotomy, comprising:
[0007] Guide plate body;
[0008] a first cutting groove, transversely arranged on the guide plate body, for guiding the osteotomy saw blade to perform transverse cutting on the patient's tibia;
[0009] a second cutting groove, vertically provided on the edge of the guide body, for guiding the osteotomy saw blade to perform a lateral vertical cut on the patient's tibia;
[0010] At least two first screw holes are provided on the guide plate body corresponding to the first cutting groove and distributed on both sides of the guide plate body;
[0011] At least one second screw hole is provided on the guide plate body corresponding to the lower portion of the first cutting groove; wherein,
[0012] The guide plate body is in a fan-shaped structure; when in use, the bone-contacting surface of the guide plate body is arranged to fit the tibia at the surgical position of the patient.
[0013] Furthermore, the guide plate body includes a fan body portion and a fan handle portion fixedly arranged below the fan body portion; wherein,
[0014] The first cutting groove is arranged at a connection between the fan body and the fan handle, and the second cutting groove is arranged at a side edge of the fan body.
[0015] Furthermore, the first screw holes include two, and the two first screw holes are respectively arranged on both sides of the fan body.
[0016] Furthermore, the first screw holes include three, and the three first screw holes are arranged side by side laterally at the distal end of the fan body.
[0017] Furthermore, the second screw hole includes one, and the second screw hole is arranged on the fan handle.
[0018] Furthermore, the first cutting groove and the second cutting groove are both provided with a guide boss, and the guide boss is provided on the dorsal surface of the guide plate body; wherein,
[0019] The guide boss is arranged around the first cutting groove and / or the second cutting groove.
[0020] Furthermore, it also includes a third screw hole, which is arranged on the fan body and located between the first screw hole and the first cutting groove.
[0021] Furthermore, the first screw hole and / or the second screw hole and / or the third screw hole are regular holes or special-shaped holes.
[0022] Furthermore, the first screw hole, the second screw hole and the third screw hole are each provided with a positioning column for guiding the insertion of the screw;
[0023] The shape of the positioning column is adapted to the shape of the corresponding first screw hole, second screw hole or third screw hole.
[0024] Furthermore, the drill hole on the patient's tibia corresponding to the second screw hole is used as a D hole for subsequent plate fixation.
[0025] The beneficial effects of an auxiliary guide plate for high tibial osteotomy of the present invention are as follows: the guide plate body of the present invention is arranged in a fan-shaped structure, which occupies less space than the guide plate with a quadrilateral structure in the prior art, and is provided with a first cutting groove in the transverse direction of the guide plate body and a second cutting groove in the longitudinal direction of the edge of the guide plate body. Under the premise of ensuring the function of the auxiliary guide plate, the volume of the auxiliary guide plate is reduced as much as possible, that is, the coverage area of the auxiliary guide plate is reduced, and the stripping of the medial collateral ligament of the patient's knee joint during surgery is reduced. There is no need to perform a large stripping on the medial side of the proximal tibia of the patient, and stable transverse and longitudinal cutting of the patient's tibia can be achieved, thereby solving the problem that the quadrilateral guide plate in the prior art is large in volume and causes greater damage to the patient's legs, thereby ensuring the postoperative stability and faster recovery of the knee joint.
[0026] Meanwhile, in the prior art, a quadrilateral guide plate requires at least four screw holes to be fixed to the patient's tibia, requiring a large number of drill holes to be drilled in the patient's tibia. The present invention designs the guide plate body into a fan-shaped structure. Only two first screw holes are required above the fan body, and one second screw hole is provided on the fan handle to achieve a more stable fixation of the guide plate body to the patient's tibia corresponding to the surgical position, thereby avoiding the shortcomings of the prior art that cause greater harm to the patient and higher surgical risks. The second screw hole is also used for subsequent fixation of the steel plate. When the steel plate is fixed, one less drill hole is drilled in the bone, further solving the problem of excessive damage to the patient caused by multiple drill holes.

[0034] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which are simplified schematic diagrams that illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner.
[0035] Example 1
[0036] like Figure 1-Figure 2 The specific embodiment of the auxiliary guide plate for high tibial osteotomy of the present invention shown includes: a guide plate body 1, a first cutting groove 2 arranged horizontally on the guide plate body 1 for guiding the osteotomy saw blade to perform a transverse cut on the patient's tibia, a second cutting groove 3 arranged vertically on the edge of the guide plate body 1 for guiding the osteotomy saw blade to perform a lateral vertical cut on the patient's tibia, and at least two first screw holes 4 and at least one second screw hole 5. Among them, at least two first screw holes 4 are arranged on the guide plate body 1 corresponding to the upper side of the first cutting groove 2 and are distributed on both sides of the guide plate body 1; at least one second screw hole 5 is arranged on the guide plate body 1 corresponding to the lower side of the first cutting groove 2. It should be further explained that the guide plate body 1 in this embodiment 1 has a fan-shaped structure.
[0037] In this embodiment 1, Figure 2 As shown, the guide body 1 comprises a sector 11 and a handle 12 fixedly disposed below the sector 11. A first cutting groove 2 is provided at the junction of the sector 11 and the handle 12, and a second cutting groove 3 is provided on a side edge of the sector 11. During use, the bone-contacting surface of the guide body 1 is positioned against the patient's tibia at the surgical site, with the sector 11 positioned above the sector 11.
[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first screw holes 4 in the first embodiment include two, and the two first screw holes 4 are respectively arranged on both sides of the fan body 11 , and the second screw hole 5 includes one, and the one second screw hole 5 is arranged on the fan handle 12 .
[0039] The guide plate body 1 of the first embodiment of the present invention is arranged in a fan-shaped structure, which occupies less space than the guide plate with a quadrilateral structure in the prior art, and is provided with a first cutting groove 2 in the transverse direction of the guide plate body 1 and a second cutting groove 3 in the longitudinal direction of the edge of the guide plate body 1. Under the premise of ensuring the function of the auxiliary guide plate, the volume of the auxiliary guide plate is reduced as much as possible, that is, the coverage area of the auxiliary guide plate is reduced, and the stripping of the medial collateral ligament of the patient's knee joint during surgery is reduced. There is no need to perform a large stripping on the medial side of the proximal tibia of the patient, and stable transverse and longitudinal cutting of the patient's tibia can be achieved, thereby solving the problem that the quadrilateral guide plate in the prior art is large in volume and causes greater damage to the patient's legs, thereby ensuring the postoperative stability and faster recovery of the knee joint.
[0040] In the first embodiment of the present invention, the fan handle portion 12 of the guide plate body 1 is arranged at the rear end of the fan body portion 11, and a second screw hole 5 is provided on the fan handle portion 12 to ensure the precise positioning of the auxiliary guide plate. Two first screw holes 4 are provided above the fan body portion 11. Three screw holes can accurately and stably position and fix the guide plate body 1. Compared with the existing technology, the number of screw holes is greatly reduced, the number of holes drilled in the patient's tibia is reduced, and the patient's recovery time and infection risk are reduced.
[0041] It should be further explained that the second screw hole 5 in this embodiment corresponds to a drill hole on the patient's tibia, which is used for subsequent plate fixation. The D hole on the plate is a threaded hole in the middle of the plate for inserting a fixation nail into the tibia. This should be understood and understood by those skilled in the art, and will not be elaborated on in detail here. In the prior art, a quadrilateral guide plate requires at least four screw holes to be fixed to the patient's tibia, which requires a large number of drill holes to be drilled on the patient's tibia. The present invention designs the guide plate body 1 into a fan-shaped structure. Only two first screw holes 4 are required above the fan body 11, and a second screw hole 5 is provided on the fan handle 12 to achieve a more stable fixation of the guide plate body 1 to the patient's tibia corresponding to the surgical position, thereby avoiding the shortcomings of the prior art that cause greater harm to the patient and higher surgical risks. The location of the second screw hole 5 is used for subsequent plate fixation. When the plate is fixed, one less drill hole is opened in the bone, further solving the problem of excessive damage to the patient caused by multiple drill holes.
[0042] The first cutting groove 2 and the second cutting groove 3 in the first embodiment are both provided with a guide boss 8, and the guide boss 8 is provided on the dorsal bone surface of the guide plate body 1; wherein, the guide boss 8 is arranged around the first cutting groove 2 and / or the second cutting groove 3. The first screw hole 4 and / or the second screw hole 5 are regular holes or special-shaped holes, and the first screw hole 4 and the second screw hole 5 are provided with a positioning column 7 for guiding the insertion of the nail. The shape of the positioning column 7 is adapted to the shape of the corresponding first screw hole 4 and the second screw hole 5. The first threaded hole and the second threaded hole in the first embodiment are both circular holes, and the shape of the corresponding positioning column 7 is also circular. The setting of the guide boss 8 guides the osteotomy saw blade to cut the corresponding position of the patient's tibia, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the cutting position. The setting of the positioning column 7 guides the fixing nail to enter the threaded hole, accurately positions the fixing nail, and ensures the accuracy of the installation of the guide plate body 1.
