Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the intramedullary nail technical field, especially to a porous multi-axle intramedullary nail based on femoral intertrochanteric fracture. BACKGROUND

[0002] Femur is also called thigh bone, hip bone and thigh, which is the longest tubular bone in human body. The upper end of femur forms hip joint with acetabulum, and the lower end forms knee joint with patella and upper end of tibia, which supports the whole body weight.

[0003] Femoral intertrochanteric fracture is one of the common types of hip fractures in the elderly. Because this part bears a large load, and is often seen in patients with osteoporosis, the internal fixation stability is required to be higher. The existing treatment methods mainly use proximal femoral intramedullary nails (such as PFNA, Gamma Nail, INTERTAN, etc.) or dynamic hip screw (DHS) and the like.

[0004] The conventional nail such as PFNA usually reserves a main nail hole or a spiral blade hole for fixing track at the proximal end of the nail body, and the hole angle is fixed in advance. On the one hand, if the fracture line is located in the bone region through which the main nail hole or the blade passes, the holding force of the screw / blade is insufficient, and complications such as screw cutting, loosening or rotation instability may occur. On the other hand, when the osteoporosis or comminuted intertrochanteric fracture occurs, the space for the surgeon to select the proximal screw (blade) placement position is often limited.

[0005] The patent document with publication number CN108125712B discloses a new type of femoral intramedullary nail, which can use the proximal three-nail fixation when fixing a part of the comminuted fracture by moving the lowermost transverse locking hole of the proximal end downward. Meanwhile, if the proximal femoral neck fixation is difficult, a slanted femoral neck locking nail and a transverse locking nail can be used to fix the proximal femoral neck, which makes the surgical options more; two locking holes located in different planes are arranged between the two transverse locking holes at the distal end, which makes the distal locking more firm through the multi-plane fixation method; a variety of locking methods can be provided on the same intramedullary nail, which improves the biomechanical strength after the operation and is beneficial to the operation effect and the recovery of the patient.

[0006] Although the above-mentioned new type of femoral intramedullary nail can solve the corresponding technical problems, the locking nail may be loose after a long time of use, which changes the position of the locking nail in the femoral neck, affects the effect of fracture reduction, and even causes secondary fracture of the femoral head and femoral neck or intramedullary fixation failure.

[0007] Therefore, a porous multi-axle intramedullary nail based on femoral intertrochanteric fracture is proposed. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT
