Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of surgical instruments, in particular to a positioning cone. Background Art
[0002] During current arthroscopic rotator cuff suturing surgery, tendon lines are used in conjunction with anchors to achieve traction and fixation of the tendon. The tendon lines pass through the tendon, and the same end of the tendon lines is fixed to the patient's fixation head through an external row of nails. The best anchor point needs to be determined before the external row of nail holes are opened. The existing technology lacks tools for pre-determining the external row of nail placement points, and often relies on the surgeon's experience for positioning, which is somewhat blind. If the placement point is not ideal, it will affect the quality of the rotator cuff suturing, and once the nail holes are prepared, it is not easy to change them. Utility Model Content

[0024] To make the purpose, technical solution, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other implementation methods obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0025] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the utility model provides a positioning cone, including a positioning rod 1, a knocking mechanism 2 is provided on the top of the positioning rod 1, which is used to knock the positioning rod 1 so that the lower end of the positioning rod 1 produces an indentation on the patient's bone surface;
[0026] The lower end of the positioning rod 1 is spherical, and the spherical surface is set so that the lower end of the positioning rod 1 is in point contact with the patient's bone surface, which makes it easier for the positioning rod 1 to move on the bone surface, and the indentation produced is more regular and accurate;
[0027] A guide groove 3 is provided on the positioning rod 1 for inserting the tendon line. A strip slit 4 is provided at the bottom of the positioning rod 1 , and the strip slit 4 is communicated with the guide groove 3 .
[0028] As an optional embodiment, both ends of the guide groove 3 pass through the surface of the positioning rod 1, and a first chamfer 5 is provided at the junction of the guide groove 3 and the strip seam 4. The provision of the first chamfer 5 makes the junction of the guide groove 3 and the strip seam 4 smoother, which facilitates pulling the tendon line out of the guide groove 3.
[0029] A second chamfer 6 is provided at the junction of the strip seam 4 and the lower end of the positioning rod 1. The second chamfer 6 is provided to facilitate the insertion of the tendon line into the strip seam 4 on the one hand, and to prevent the lower edge of the strip seam 4 from scratching the bone surface when the lower end of the positioning rod 1 contacts the bone surface on the other hand.
[0030] The width of the strip seam 4 is less than or equal to the diameter of the tendon line, which can prevent the tendon line from easily passing through the strip seam 4 and detaching from the guide groove 3. The tendon line is elastic and deformable, so when the width of the strip seam 4 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the tendon line, the tendon line can still pass through the strip seam 4.
[0031] The striking mechanism 2 includes a guide rod 7, a guide rod 7 is vertically provided at the upper end of the guide rod 7, a counterweight sleeve 10 is slidably provided on the surface of the guide rod 7, a spring 8 is provided on the surface of the guide rod 7 for pushing the counterweight sleeve 10 downward, a lifting assembly 18 is provided on the guide rod 7 for moving the counterweight sleeve 10 away from the positioning rod 1, and a trigger assembly 11 is provided on the lifting assembly 18. The trigger assembly 11 cooperates with the lifting assembly 18 to fix the counterweight sleeve 10 that is separated from the positioning rod 1;
[0032] The counterweight sleeve 10 is moved away from the positioning rod 1 by the lifting assembly 18. Then the spring 8 will be compressed, and the position of the counterweight sleeve 10 will be fixed by the cooperation of the trigger assembly 11 and the lifting assembly 18. When it is necessary to knock the positioning rod 1, the trigger assembly 11 releases the fixation of the lifting assembly 18. Then the spring 8 will quickly push the counterweight sleeve 10, causing the counterweight sleeve 10 to hit the positioning rod 1, generating an impact force, and causing the positioning rod 1 to produce an indentation on the patient's bone surface.
[0033] The lifting assembly 18 includes a fixed arm 12 and a pull rod 16. The fixed arm 12 is fixed to the guide rod 7. The pull rod 16 is vertically arranged on the counterweight sleeve 10. The pull rod 16 passes through the fixed arm 12 and is slidably connected to the fixed arm 12. A handle 17 is provided on the pull rod 16. A plurality of clamping holes are vertically distributed on the pull rod 16. The pull rod 16 is driven by the handle 17 to enable the counterweight sleeve 10 to move along the guide rod 7.
[0034] The bottom of the weight sleeve 10 corresponds to the upper end of the positioning rod 1, and the two ends of the spring 8 are fixed to the weight sleeve 10 and the fixed arm 12 respectively. The surface of the guide rod 7 is provided with an elastic scale 9. The elastic scale 9 is provided to facilitate the operator to grasp the impact force generated by the weight sleeve 10 at different heights, so as to be suitable for people with different bone densities;
[0035] The trigger assembly 11 includes a handle 13 and a spring pin 14. The handle 13 is fixed to the fixed arm 12. One end of the fixed pin of the spring pin 14 is plugged into the card hole, and the other end is provided with a pull ring 15.
[0036] Inserting the fixing pin of the spring pin 14 into the card hole can fix the position of the pull rod 16, thereby fixing the position of the counterweight sleeve 10. When it is necessary to knock the positioning rod 1, pull the fixing pin through the pull ring 15 to disengage it from the card hole. At this time, the pull rod 16 and the counterweight sleeve 10 will quickly approach the positioning rod 1 and complete the impact on the positioning rod 1.
[0037] Using the above structure, the tendon line passing through the tendon is inserted into the guide groove 3 through the strip seam 4. The surgical operator pulls the tendon line away from one end of the tendon with one hand and moves the positioning rod 1 with the other hand. The positioning rod 1 and the guide groove 3 can be used to explore and pre-determine the best pulling direction and the best anchor point of the tendon line. After finding the best anchor point, the positioning rod 1 is knocked by the knocking mechanism 2, so that the positioning rod 1 produces an indentation on the patient's bone surface. Then, a threaded hole can be opened at the indentation using an electric drill, and finally the tendon line is fixed in the threaded hole using an anchor nail.
