Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a medical device screw. Background Art

[0002] The pedicle is a component of the spine and is often used as an effective point of manipulation and immobilization during vertebral fracture surgery. Pedicle screw fixation was first described by Bouche and has been widely used over the past two decades to treat degenerative and unstable fractures, deformities, and tumors. Pedicle screw systems are used to adjust the spine, maintain its stability, or achieve fusion for patients with fractures, spondylolisthesis, degenerative arthritis, tumors, or scoliosis. Currently, spinal fixation technology has become the primary treatment for thoracolumbar fractures, and its therapeutic effects have been fully recognized in restoring the physiological curvature of the spine and indirectly decompressing the spinal canal. In addition to correcting deformities and restoring sequence, the main purpose of spinal fixation is to provide immediate stability, allowing patients to ambulate early, and reducing the need for braces. The vertebral arch is the hardest part of the vertebral body and the force core of the vertebral body, which can transmit external forces from the posterior column to the vertebral body to achieve three-dimensional fixation.

[0003] However, it still has some disadvantages. For example, the biomechanical properties of the screw-bone interface determine the stability of the pedicle screw system. If the holding force between the interfaces is insufficient, the screw will loosen and lose its function of distraction, reduction and fixation. The design of the pedicle screw can effectively improve the stability of the fixation system. The ideal pedicle screw design should provide sufficient fixation ability while having sufficient self-strength to prevent the screw from loosening, bending or breaking. Moreover, the screw is generally only suitable for installation and removal using one type of screwdriver, and cannot be installed or removed using screwdrivers of different specifications, which reduces its practicality.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, this application proposes a medical device screw. Utility Model Content
