Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to medical instrument technical field, concretely is a humerus distal end modularization carbon fiber composite material bone fracture plate system. BACKGROUND

[0002] Humerus distal end fracture is the fracture that occurs in the section from the upper humeral condyle to the distal articular surface, and the most common cause of humerus distal end fracture is high-energy injury, nearly 43% of the injuries are caused by traffic accidents, and are often combined with skin, soft tissue, blood vessels, nerves (especially median nerve), muscles, ligaments or systemic injuries. Due to the involvement of articular surface, instability of fracture end and associated blood vessel and nerve injury, especially associated with severe intra-elbow fracture, the fracture end is not easy to be fixed firmly, and is prone to Wolkmann ischemic contracture in the early postoperative period, and is prone to nonunion, malunion of elbow joint, elbow joint stiffness, ossifying myositis and other complications in the late period, which is a difficult point in orthopedic treatment.

[0003] At present, surgical treatment is the main treatment method for humerus distal end fracture, among which single steel plate has reliable effect on simple fracture, but has certain requirements for bone quality, and is single-plane fixed, easy to loosen and rotate, and prone to displacement of fracture surface; double steel plate fixation helps to reconstruct and maintain the stability of humerus distal end double column, and has definite effect in the treatment of comminuted humerus distal end fracture, but how to place it is not yet unified. In addition, due to the inherent stress shielding effect of metal bone fracture plate, the use of steel plate fixation is easy to cause delayed union, nonunion, severe osteoporosis of fixed segment, and re-fracture after removal of internal fixation and other complications after treatment; the corrosion and dissolution of metal ions in steel plate internal fixation have cytotoxicity; the steel plate metal artifact is not conducive to the positioning operation of the surgeon during operation and the follow-up diagnosis after operation; the existing metal bone fracture plate structure is fixed, and cannot be used when the fracture line is long or comminuted, so that the type of bone fracture plate is required more, increasing the production cost.

[0004] Carbon fiber composite material is a kind of carbon-based material with carbon fiber and its fabric as reinforcing body, which has the characteristics of light weight, strong designability, no artifact and the like compared with other materials, and the biocompatibility, chemical stability and mechanical properties are improved to a certain extent. Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) is a kind of fully aromatic semi-crystalline polymer, which has a variety of excellent properties: oxidation resistance, toughness and rigidity, high strength, creep resistance, good fatigue resistance and easy molding. The carbon fiber reinforced PEEK (CF-PEEK) based composite material can overcome stress shielding and meet the mechanical requirements of fracture repair when applied in orthopedics, in addition, the material also has the characteristics of X-ray transparency, which does not form metal artifact in the process of clinical operation and postoperative follow-up.

[0005] Therefore, it is appropriate to use CF-PEEK as the main material of the bone plate. For example, patent CN106620895B discloses a carbon fiber and polyether ether ketone composite bone plate and a preparation method thereof; patent CN110585491B discloses a carbon fiber composite bone plate composed of a continuous carbon fiber woven fabric composite layer and a carbon fiber non-woven fabric composite layer; patent CN214907945U discloses a distal humerus dorsal bone plate to solve the problem of poor universality of existing bone plates; and patent CN211484854U discloses a distal humerus external posterior anatomical fixation plate, which includes a head portion and a side wing that can be broken on one side of the head portion, to solve the problem that the distal humerus fixation plate in the prior art can only be applied to one part. However, in actual application, patent CN106620895B and patent CN110585491B disclose a carbon fiber composite bone plate and a preparation method thereof, but the carbon fiber composite material is made by a thermoplastic process. Once the bone plate is formed, it cannot be easily bent in actual clinical application, and it cannot accurately match the actual clinical needs of different patients. Therefore, the current application and promotion of carbon fiber composite materials still have great limitations. Patents CN214907945U and CN211484854U disclose the design of a modular assembled bone plate to solve the problem that existing bone plates can only be used for specific patients. However, there is no modular bone plate used for internal fixation of elbow joint fractures, especially for internal fixation of distal humerus fractures. Practical new type content
