DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the utility model more clearly and clearly, the following is further detailed by the embodiment, and the distal aiming arm of the distal aiming device of the intramedullary nail of the utility model is further detailed by combining with the drawings. The proximal end and the distal end are named according to the distance between the intramedullary nail aiming device and the operator. The proximal end refers to the end of the intramedullary nail aiming device close to the operator, and the distal end refers to the end of the intramedullary nail aiming device far away from the operator. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only illustrative and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0029] As Figures 1-3As shown, the embodiment provides a distal aiming arm 1 of a distal aiming device of an intramedullary nail. Taking the left intramedullary nail as an example, the structure of the distal aiming arm 1 comprises an aiming arm body 11 having a longitudinal center line o, a surface a away from the bone surface, a surface b close to the bone surface, and two side surfaces between the surfaces a and b. The aiming arm body 11 comprises an aiming part 111 at the distal end thereof and a connecting part 112 at the proximal end thereof. The surface b of the connecting part 112 is connected with a left conversion block 2. The center line o of the connecting part 112 is curved in a circular arc. The connecting part 112 is provided with nine gear holes penetrating the surfaces a and b and arranged along the center line o. The gear holes are marked with numbers. The distal end of the intramedullary nail corresponds to the position of the connecting part 112 with the numbers to indicate the length of the intramedullary nail. Figure 3 As shown, in order to be the same as the cross-sectional shape of the left and right conversion blocks, the four corners of the cross section of the connecting part are provided with four inclined surfaces 119 with the same width and inclination.

[0030] The aiming part 111 is provided with a first guide hole 114 and a second guide hole 115 penetrating the surfaces a and b along the center line o. The guide holes are respectively used for aiming at the first locking hole 41 and the second locking hole 42 in the distal hole of the intramedullary nail. The side surface of the aiming part 111 is provided with a limiting groove 116 transverse to the first guide hole 114 and communicating with the first guide hole 114.

[0031] In order to aim at the right intramedullary nail, the distal aiming arm 1 is turned over by 180°. The surfaces a and b of the distal aiming arm are switched with each other. The surface a of the connecting part 112 is connected with a right conversion block 2. At this time, the surface a becomes the surface close to the bone surface, and the surface b becomes the surface away from the bone surface. This kind of connection mode indicates that the distal aiming arm 1 is suitable for aiming at the right intramedullary nail.

[0032] Preferably, in order to facilitate the doctor to distinguish the left and right sides during the operation, the surface a of the aiming part 111 is marked with an “L” letter (L means left), and the surface b of the aiming part 111 is marked with an “R” letter (R means right).

[0033] Preferably, the bottom of the limiting groove 116 is provided with two opposite holes 117 penetrating the groove bottom.

[0034] Preferably, as shown in Figure 4As shown, the aiming arm body 11 further comprises a limiting assembly 5 partially embedded in the limiting slot 116, which is used to lock the positioning sleeve rod assembly 6 inserted into the first guide hole 114. The limiting assembly 5 comprises a cap 51, a spring 52 and a button 53. One end of the button 53 is a pressing end 531, and the other end is provided with an open groove 532 in the middle of the end face. The open groove 532 makes the end of the button 53 form two opposite plug-in heads 533 corresponding to the two holes 117. Each of the plug-in heads 533 is provided with a blind hole 534 on the end face. The bottom surface of the open groove 532 is provided with a limiting hole 535 for accommodating part of the spring 53. One side surface of the button 53 is provided with a first groove 536 matching the first guide hole 114. The cap 51 is provided with two bosses 511. The spring 52 is partially placed in the limiting hole 535. The button 53 is inserted into the limiting slot 116, and the pressing end 531 is outside the limiting slot 116. The two plug-in heads 533 pass through the two holes 117 and are connected with the cap 51. The connection between the button 53 and the cap 51 is achieved by inserting the two bosses 511 into the two blind holes 534.

[0035] In a natural state, as shown in Figure 5 As shown, the first groove 536 of the limiting assembly 5 is misaligned with the first guide hole 114. In a pressed state, as shown in Figure 6 The button 53 is subjected to a force, so that the spring 53 is subjected to extrusion. The limiting assembly 5 slides, so that the first groove 536 and the first guide hole 114 are coincided. At this time, the positioning sleeve rod assembly 6 can be inserted into the first guide hole 114. Then, the force applied to the button 53 is removed. Under the action of the spring 52, the limiting assembly 5 is returned to the original position and clamps the positioning sleeve rod assembly 6. In this way, the positioning sleeve rod assembly 6 is locked in the first guide hole 114.

[0036] Preferably, the side surface of the aiming part 111 is provided with two through holes 118 for connecting the lateral support 7. The through holes 118 are arranged along the center line o between the first guide hole 114 and the second guide hole 115.

[0037] Preferably, the aiming arm body 11 is made of a material that can be penetrated by X-rays, such as carbon fiber.

[0038] The assembly method of the intramedullary nail distal end aiming device is as follows: as shown in Figure 7As shown, taking the left intramedullary nail 4 as an example, one end of the handle 3 is connected with the proximal end of the intramedullary nail 4, the left conversion block 2 is detachably connected to the other end of the handle 3, the surface b of the connecting part 112 is placed on the left conversion block 2, the left conversion block 2 is connected through a bolt passing through one of the gear holes 113, then the positioning sleeve rod assembly 6 is installed in the first guide hole 114, the second guide hole 115 on the aiming part 111 aims at the second locking hole 42 of the distal hole of the intramedullary nail, and then the first guide hole 114 aims at the first locking hole 41 of the distal hole of the intramedullary nail 4. The lateral support 7 is detachably connected to the side surface of the aiming part 111 through the two through holes 118, and is used for aiming at the long waist-shaped hole at the distal end of the left intramedullary nail 4. If the right intramedullary nail is aimed, the distal aiming arm 1 is turned over by 180°, the surface a of the connecting part 112 is connected with the right conversion block, and other installation operations remain unchanged.

[0039] It should be noted that the number of gear holes can be increased or decreased as needed.

[0040] In summary, the above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not used to limit the present application, and any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement within the spirit and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
