TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the orthopedic medical instrument technical field, and specifically relates to a novel fifth metacarpal bone fixing clamp. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, the fifth metacarpal bone fracture with obvious angle is divided into stable fracture and unstable fracture. For stable fracture, if the palmar angle is less than 30 DEG, conservative treatment can be adopted, and when the palmar angle exceeds 30 DEG, single kirschner wire antegrade intramedullary fixation can effectively avoid the above-mentioned many drawbacks. The existing technology of conservative treatment adopts plaster fixation, and the plaster fixation has the following disadvantages: the fracture is easy to displace again, resulting in the failure of conservative treatment, especially after the swelling of the affected limb is obviously subsided, the plaster is poor in adhesion and plasticity, and often needs to be replaced, which causes the fracture to displace again when the plaster is replaced, and increases the corresponding medical expenses. The commonly used method of surgical treatment is kirschner wire fixation or intramedullary kirschner wire fixation, and plate screw internal fixation, and surgical treatment often leaves a wound, and postoperative soft tissue adhesion in the operation area affects the function of the hand. Secondly, due to the existence of kirschner needle path, the opportunity of exogenous infection is left, and the stability of kirschner wire fixation is poor.
[0003] Chinese patent discloses a fifth metacarpal bone fixing plate (application number: 201922253895.0), the fixing plate is only suitable for surgical treatment, although the stability is improved to a certain extent, but the plate internal fixation has the problems of extensive periosteum stripping, tissue damage and local hematoma removal during operation, and also has postoperative complications such as nonunion, infection, plate exposure, poor appearance, and the like, and the plate fixation needs secondary operation, increases the incidence of complications, and the patient is painful and has heavy burden. At present, there is no external non-surgical fixing appliance specially used for fifth metacarpal bone fracture. Therefore, it is very necessary to develop a fifth metacarpal bone fixing clamp which has high clamping stability, avoids fracture displacement again, has simple structure, is convenient to operate, and is suitable for external non-surgical fixation.
