Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to an anchor nail with a wire. Background Art
[0002] The rotator cuff, also known as the tendon cuff or rotator cuff, is composed of the tendons of the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor and subscapularis muscles that originate from the scapula and end at the upper end of the humerus. The tendons of the above four muscles are closely attached to the shoulder joint capsule when passing through the upper, back and front of the shoulder joint, and are connected to each other to form a nearly circular tendon plate that surrounds the shoulder joint, playing an important role in the stability of the shoulder joint. Rotator cuff rupture is one of the most common shoulder injuries, which is usually torn off from the part connected to the bone. The rotator cuff anchor is an implant used to repair rotator cuff injuries. It plays a vital role in fixing the torn rotator cuff tissue. The use of anchors can increase the contact area between the supraspinatus and the humeral head, thereby reducing the risk of re-injury to the tendon.
[0003] Currently, the mainstream method for rotator cuff tear surgery is arthroscopic repair and reconstruction using wire anchors. During repair, the rotator cuff cannot be sutured directly to the bone. At this time, it needs to be fixed with the help of rivets. Commonly used anchors in clinical practice include full suture anchors, PEEK anchors, and hydroxyapatite absorbable anchors. Most of them are single-body wire anchors. In order to increase the contact area between the torn tendon and the greater tuberosity, it is necessary to implant an outer row of anchors. When suturing the tendon, it is often necessary to adjust the suture position to avoid uneven force distribution on the tendon. The operation is relatively cumbersome and affects the use effect. For this reason, we propose a wire anchor. Utility Model Content

[0021] It includes an anchor body 1, which includes a first anchor 3 and a second anchor 4. The tops of the first anchor 3 and the second anchor 4 are connected with a wire belt 2. The first anchor 3 includes an anchor front end 6, an anchor middle part 9 and an anchor tail 8. A through hole 7 is provided on the surface of the anchor front end 6, and an inverted serration 5 is provided on the middle part 9 of the anchor. The inner wall of the anchor tail 8 is fixedly connected to one end of the wire belt 2, and the other end of the wire belt 2 is fixedly connected to the anchor tail 8 of the second anchor 4. The structure of the second anchor 4 is the same as that of the first anchor 3.
[0022] In this embodiment, during use, the first anchor 3 is implanted with an instrument and a hole is punched in advance at the cartilage edge of the humeral head. The first anchor 3 is implanted into the cartilage edge through the front end 6 of the anchor to reset the tendon. Then, after the tendon is pressed down by the wire band 2, the second anchor 4 is implanted below the greater tuberosity of the humerus. The first anchor 3 and the second anchor 4 are connected by the wire band 2, so that the device has a certain width. The use of the wire band 2 can fix the tendon with a surface instead of sutures, reducing the cutting of the tendon and reducing the risk of tendon rupture again. The wire band 2 is located at the tail end of the anchor and is used to press down the tendon and fix the tendon on the greater tuberosity. There are inverted serrations 5 structures on both sides of the anchor to prevent the anchor from withdrawing. When the anchor is implanted in bone tissue, some elderly people have osteoporosis and are easy to pull out. The inverted serrations 5-shaped structure can effectively prevent the anchor from being pulled out of the bone tissue and increase the holding force of the anchor.
[0023] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3The inner walls of the first anchor 3 and the second anchor 4 are both provided with semicircular grooves, and the first anchor 3 and the second anchor 4 are symmetrically arranged. The first anchor 3 and the second anchor 4 have an arc-shaped cross-section due to the semicircular grooves, which increases the contact area with the tissue part and can fit the tissue better during the operation.
[0024] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 The front end of the first anchor 3 is a conical structure, and the conical structure allows the anchor body 1 to better enter the cartilage.
[0025] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 The middle part 9 of the anchor is provided with multiple groups of inverted serrations 5 in the vertical direction. The inverted serrations 5 are linearly and evenly distributed. There are inverted serrations 5 structures on both sides of the anchor to prevent the anchor from withdrawing. When the anchor is implanted in the bone tissue, the inverted serrations 5-shaped structure can effectively prevent the anchor from being pulled out of the bone tissue and increase the holding force of the anchor.
[0026] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 The line is woven with polyester suture to ensure the structural strength of the connection, fix the tendon reliably, and avoid disassembly in the later stage, which improves the performance of the device.
[0027] Working principle: During use, the first anchor 3 is implanted into the instrument and a hole is punched in the cartilage edge of the humeral head in advance. The first anchor 3 is implanted into the cartilage edge through the front end 6 of the anchor to reset the tendon. Then, the tendon is pressed down by the wire band 2, and the second anchor 4 is implanted below the greater tuberosity of the humerus. The first anchor 3 and the second anchor 4 are connected by the wire band 2, so that the device has a certain width. The use of the wire band 2 can fix the tendon with a surface instead of sutures, reducing the cutting of the tendon and reducing the risk of tendon rupture again. The wire band 2 is located at the tail end of the anchor and is used to press down the tendon and fix the tendon on the greater tuberosity. There are inverted serrations 5 structures on both sides of the anchor to prevent the anchor from withdrawing. When the anchor is implanted in bone tissue, some elderly people have osteoporosis and are easy to pull out.
