[0021] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.
[0022] An adjustable positioning vertical guide for patellar fracture fixation includes a clamp body 1, a Kirschner wire guide tube 2, a positioning rod 3, a guide ring 4 and a guide needle 5. The first clamp rod 101 of the clamp body 1 is connected to the Kirschner wire guide tube 2. After the Kirschner wire guide tube is put onto the Kirschner wire, the clamp body 1 is used to clamp the patella, and the tip of the Kirschner wire guide tube 2 is in close contact with the patella. The positioning rod 3 is arranged on one side of the Kirschner wire guide tube 2, and the positioning rod 3 includes a positioning rod 1 301, a positioning rod 2 302 and a positioning rod 3 303. The positioning rod 1 301 is vertically connected to the Kirschner wire guide rod, and the positioning rod 1 301 is perpendicular to the clamp body 1. The end of the positioning rod 1 301 is vertically connected to the positioning rod 2 302, and the positioning rod 2 302 is parallel to the clamp body 1. The end of the positioning rod 2 302 is vertically connected to the positioning rod 3 303, and the positioning rod 3 303 is parallel to the Kirschner wire guide tube 2. The positioning rod 3 303 is parallel to the clamp body 1. The lower end of the Kirschner wire guide tube 2 is provided with a puncture tip 6, and the bottom end of the positioning rod 3 303 is in the same plane as the bottom of the puncture tip 6. The end of the positioning rod 3 303 is connected to the guide ring 4, and the shortest distance from the axis of the guide ring 4 to the Kirschner wire guide tube 2 is equal to the distance from the axis of the guide ring 4 to the top of the guide ring 4. A guide ring 4 is provided, and a guide needle tube 5 can be inserted into the guide ring 4, the needle core is pulled out, and then the titanium cable / steel wire is inserted in the reverse direction from the guide needle tube 5. When the guide needle tube 5 is pulled out, the titanium cable / steel wire is transmitted to the opposite side, and there is no need to blindly hit the titanium cable / steel wire, thereby avoiding directional deviation when inserting the titanium cable / steel wire. The guide ring 4 can be set on one side of the Kirschner wire guide tube 2 by the positioning rod 3, so that it avoids muscle tissue and allows the Kirschner wire guide tube 2 to be smoothly inserted into the patella. The guide needle tube 5 is inserted into the guide ring 4, and the outer diameter of the guide needle tube 5 is equal to the inner diameter of the guide ring 4. The guide needle tube 5 can be placed close to the Kirschner wire guide tube 2 so that the titanium cable / steel wire passed through is close to the deep surface of the Kirschner wire.
[0023] Among them, the clamp body 1 includes a first clamp rod 101, a second clamp rod 102, a gripping ring 103, a rotating shaft 104, a limiting rod 105 and a limiting rod 2 106, the second clamp rod 102 is provided with a clamp tip 7, the first clamp rod 101 and the second clamp rod 102 are rotatably connected by the rotating shaft 104, the ends of the first clamp rod 101 and the second clamp rod 102 are both provided with a gripping ring 103, the limiting rod 105 is arranged on the inner side of the first clamp rod 101, the limiting rod 2 106 is arranged on the inner side of the second clamp rod 102, the limiting rod 2 106 is provided with a serrated protrusion, and the limiting rod 105 is provided with a groove that cooperates with the serrated protrusion. During operation, an orthopedic surgeon can use the clamp body 1 to clamp the patella, and at the same time, the limiting rod 105 and the limiting rod 2 106 cooperate to prevent the clamp rod from retracting and maintain the clamping state of the clamp body 1.
[0024] The third positioning rod 303 is provided with a connection hole 8, which is wide on the outside and narrow on the inside. A rotating rod 9 is provided on the side of the guide ring 4. The rotating rod 9 is narrow on the outside and wide on the inside, which matches the connection hole 8. A limit buckle 10 is provided at the end of the rotating rod 9. The limit buckle 10 is wider than the inside width of the connection hole 8, and a space slightly larger than the limit buckle 10 is provided inside the third positioning rod 303. The provision of the connection hole 8 and the rotating rod 9 allows the guide ring 4 to be adjusted in the vertical direction, meeting the needs of multi-angle fixation.
[0025] Among them, a needle core 11 is provided in the guide needle barrel 5. The needle core 11 has the same length as the internal space of the guide needle barrel 5 and is in close contact with the inner wall of the guide needle barrel 5. The needle core 11 is in close contact with the inner wall of the guide needle barrel 5, which can prevent the muscle tissue from entering the guide needle barrel 5 when the guide needle barrel 5 passes through the muscle tissue.
[0026] The guide needle barrel 5 is provided with a transverse plate 12, which is provided with a slot 13. A push block 14 is provided at the end of the needle core 11, and an inserting block 15 is provided on the push block 14. The inserting block 15 cooperates with the slot 13. When the orthopedic surgeon inserts the needle core 11, the inserting block 15 cooperates with the slot 13, which makes it more convenient and accurate to insert the needle core 11 into the guide needle barrel 5.
[0027] The guide needle barrel 5 is provided with a guide channel 16 which is wide outside and narrow inside, so that the orthopedic surgeon can insert the needle core 11 into the guide needle barrel 5 conveniently.
[0028] Working principle:
[0029] During the operation, after the Kirschner wire has been successfully inserted into the patella, the Kirschner wire guide tube 2 is inserted along the tail of the Kirschner wire, and the forceps tip 7 on the second forceps rod 102 is placed on the place where the Kirschner wire on the opposite side connects to the patella. The first forceps rod 101 and the second forceps rod 102 are pressed by the grip ring 103 so that the puncture tip 6 on the Kirschner wire guide tube 2 is in close contact with the edge of the patella. Subsequently, the forceps rod is fixed using limit rod 105 and limit rod 2 106 to prevent the forceps rod from retracting and maintain the clamping state of the forceps body 1. The forceps body 1 is placed perpendicular to the patellar surface as a whole. The guide needle cylinder 5 is passed through the guide ring 4. At this time, the guide needle cylinder 5 can be rotated to slightly adjust the direction to meet the fixation needs at different angles. Due to the provision of the guide ring 4, it can be ensured that the guide needle cylinder 5 is always inserted into the deep surface of the Kirschner wire and close to the patella, avoiding repeated fluoroscopy during the operation and saving time. Then take out the needle core 11 from the guide needle tube 5, pass the titanium cable / steel wire through the inside of the guide needle tube 5 in reverse, then pull out the guide needle tube 5, pass the titanium cable / steel wire through, and use the titanium cable / steel wire to fix the fractured patella with a tension band.
