Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by the person skilled in the art without making creative labor belong to the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1-6 The utility model provides a kind of technical scheme: a self-locking intramedullary nail for animal fracture, including intramedullary nail outer tube 1, the diameter of the outer surface of one end of intramedullary nail outer tube 1 is greater than the diameter of the other end, and the outer surface of one side of intramedullary nail outer tube 1 is provided with insertion through hole 4, and the outer surface of insertion through hole 4 is provided with a straight and inclined plane, characterized in that: the inner portion of one end of intramedullary nail outer tube 1 is fixedly installed with inlay ring 12, the outer surface of intramedullary nail outer tube 1 is uniformly provided with self-locking nail buckle 13, and the outer surface of self-locking nail buckle 13 is inclined design, intramedullary nail outer tube 1 and self-locking nail buckle 13 are sliding friction connection, and the outer surface of self-locking nail buckle 13 is in contact with the outer surface of bone marrow cavity, sliding flexible mechanism is arranged between self-locking nail buckle 13 and intramedullary nail outer tube 1, so that intramedullary nail outer tube 1 can be self-locked and fixed in the inner portion of bone marrow cavity, improve the convenience when installing and using.

[0030] The different diameters of the two ends of intramedullary nail outer tube 1 can facilitate the insertion of intramedullary nail outer tube 1 into the inner portion of bone marrow cavity.

[0031] The sliding flexible mechanism comprises a flexible filling layer 11 fixed between inlaid rings 12, the inlaid rings 12 are concentric with the flexible filling layer 11, an isolation plate 5 is fixedly installed on one end of the intramedullary nail outer tube 1 close to the inclined top head 8, the outer surface of the isolation plate 5 is attached to the outer surface of the inlaid ring 12, a one-way valve 9 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the isolation plate 5, and the one-way valve 9 is concentric with the intramedullary nail outer tube 1.

[0032] The one-way valve 9 prevents the compressed gelatin injected into the intramedullary nail outer tube 1 from leaking outwards, so that the injected compressed gelatin can expand and push open the flexible filling layer 11, allowing the flexible filling layer 11 to expand and be blocked by the isolation plate 5, and the inlaid ring 12 can fix the position of the flexible filling layer 11, allowing the self-locking nail buckle 13 to be pushed out of the intramedullary nail outer tube 1, so that the self-locking nail buckle 13 can tightly attach to the inner wall of the bone marrow cavity, allowing the intramedullary nail outer tube 1 to be inserted into the bone marrow cavity and not to be pulled out, so that the intramedullary nail outer tube 1 can be fixed in the bone marrow cavity without using screws, facilitating the fixation of the intramedullary nail outer tube 1.

[0035] An inclined top head 8 is fixedly installed on one end of the intramedullary nail outer tube 1 away from the insertion hole 4, and the inclined top head 8 is concentric with the intramedullary nail outer tube 1.

[0036] The inclined top head 8 makes it easier for the intramedullary nail outer tube 1 to be inserted into the bone marrow cavity, reducing the difficulty of inserting the intramedullary nail outer tube 1 into the bone marrow cavity.

[0037] A flow equalizing mechanism is arranged between the intramedullary nail outer tube 1 and the isolation plate 5, which allows the compressed gelatin injected into the intramedullary nail outer tube 1 to be evenly dispersed, allowing the compressed gelatin to be in contact with the flexible filling layer 11, and allowing the self-locking nail buckle 13 to be evenly pushed out, the flow equalizing mechanism comprises an intramedullary nail inner tube 6 fixedly installed in the intramedullary nail outer tube 1, the intramedullary nail inner tube 6 is located between the intramedullary nail outer tube 1 and the isolation plate 5, the isolation plate 5 is concentric with the intramedullary nail inner tube 6, and the outer surface of the intramedullary nail inner tube 6 is uniformly provided with dispersion holes 7, and the intramedullary nail inner tube 6 is located in the flexible filling layer 11.

[0038] When injecting high-pressure gel into the inside of the intramedullary nail outer tube 1 through the one-way valve 9, the high-pressure gel will first enter the inside of the intramedullary nail inner tube 6 and evenly fill the flexible filling layer 11 through the dispersion holes 7 on the outer surface of the intramedullary nail inner tube 6, so that the high-pressure gel can uniformly contact the flexible filling layer 11, the flexible filling layer 11 can uniformly expand outward, and the self-locking nail buckle 13 can be uniformly ejected, reducing the phenomenon that the self-locking nail buckle 13 is unevenly stressed and causes the intramedullary nail outer tube 1 to be not firmly fixed with the bone marrow cavity.

[0039] The outer surface of the one-way valve 9 is provided with a threaded screw-in port 10, and the threaded screw-in port 10 is concentrically designed with the one-way valve 9, and the threaded screw-in port 10 in the one-way valve 9 is screw-connected with the pipeline for injecting the compressed gelatin.

[0040] When high-pressure gelatin needs to be injected, the pipeline for injecting the high-pressure gelatin only needs to be screwed into the inside of the threaded screw-in port 10, so that the threaded screw-in port 10 will not be separated from the pipeline due to the injection pressure when the compressed gelatin is injected, reducing the leakage probability when the compressed gelatin is injected, and making it more convenient and easy to inject the compressed gelatin into the intramedullary nail outer tube 1.

[0041] Although the embodiments of the utility model have been shown and described, it can be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, replacements and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirits of the utility model, and the scope of the utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
