DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The technical scheme of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments.

[0021] In order to realize the fine adjustment and fixation of the minimally invasive fixation needle, a fracture fixation frame is designed, as shown in the drawings, which comprises a housing 1. Figure 1 The housing 1 is composed of a left housing and a right housing, and the connecting seat and connecting screw are arranged on the splicing surface of the left housing and the right housing. The left housing and the right housing can also be fixed by clamping structure. The housing 1 comprises a metal outer shell and a protective inner shell 12. The outer shell has high support strength, and the inner shell is a protective pad connected to the inner side surface of the outer shell, which can be made of silica gel or leather and directly attached to the skin of the patient. A plurality of pulse modules can also be installed between the outer shell and the inner shell, and the pulse module is preferably a water pulse massager for pulse massage of the limbs.

[0022] An empty window 15 is formed in the middle of the housing 1, and an auxiliary support 16 is arranged in the empty window 15. An electrotherapy assembly 17 is arranged on the inner side surface of the auxiliary support 16. The electrotherapy assembly 17 is a device capable of automatically releasing electric current for treatment of human body through a circuit board. The setting of the electrotherapy assembly 17 can assist in the treatment of the limbs.

[0023] In order to realize the fixation of the minimally invasive fixation needle 2, a first hole group is arranged on the upper end of the housing 1, the first hole group is composed of a hole a and a hole b arranged oppositely, a second hole group is arranged on the lower end of the housing 1, the second hole group is composed of a hole c and a hole d arranged oppositely, forming four needle insertion holes, and the locking mechanism 3 for limiting the minimally invasive fixation needle 2 is arranged at the first hole group and the second hole group. The locking mechanism 3 at the second hole group is also provided with a fine adjustment mechanism 4 for adjusting the minimally invasive fixation needle 2, and the minimally invasive fixation needle 2 penetrates through the locking mechanism 3 and the fine adjustment mechanism 4.

[0024] In use, the two minimally invasive fixation needles 2 penetrating into the inside of the limb are respectively inserted into the two groups of holes, and then the four locking mechanisms 3 are respectively sleeved on the two ends of the two minimally invasive fixation needles 2, and the locking mechanisms 3 abut against the metal shell, and then the locking mechanisms 3 of the a hole and the b hole lock the first minimally invasive fixation needle 2; after the locking mechanisms 3 of the a hole and the b hole are locked, the minimally invasive fixation needle 2 located in the d hole is fine-tuned through the fine-tuning mechanism 4, the minimally invasive fixation needle 2 in the c hole rotates, and after the fine-tuning is completed, the second minimally invasive fixation needle 2 is locked through the locking mechanism 3, the connection of the two minimally invasive fixation needles 2 and the shell 1 is completed, the accurate alignment and effective fixation of the minimally invasive fixation needle 2 are realized.

[0025] Specifically, as shown in Figure 3 , the locking mechanism 3 includes a sleeve 31 and a locking bolt 32, the sleeve 31 has an opening, the inner wall of the opening is provided with an internal thread matched with the locking bolt 32, and the minimally invasive fixation needle 2 is fixed in the sleeve 31 through the locking bolt 32. The sleeve 31 is also provided with a rubber ring 33, which is filled between the sleeve 31 and the locking bolt 32, and the rubber ring 33 is sealed in the sleeve 31 by the locking bolt 32.

[0026] The locking mechanism 3 is divided into a locked state and an unlocked state. When the locking mechanism 3 is in the unlocked state, it can move along the axis direction of the minimally invasive fixation needle 2 outside the minimally invasive fixation needle 2 until the locking mechanism 3 falls off from the outside of the minimally invasive fixation needle 2. When the locking mechanism 3 is in the locked state, it is locked outside the minimally invasive fixation needle 2 and cannot move. When the position adjustment of the minimally invasive fixation needle 2 and the shell 1 is completed, the locking mechanism 3 in the unlocked state is moved outside the minimally invasive fixation needle 2 until the sleeve 31 abuts against the shell 1, and then the locking bolt 32 is tightened and moves towards the direction close to the rubber ring 33 and extrudes the rubber ring 33. When the rubber ring 33 is extruded, it can only be extruded towards the direction close to the minimally invasive fixation needle 2 due to the limitation in other directions, so that the inner wall of the rubber ring 33 abuts tightly against the minimally invasive fixation needle 2, and the rubber ring 33 locks the minimally invasive fixation needle 2, that is, it is switched to the locked state. Since the two locking mechanisms 3 are respectively located on the two sides of the shell 1, the sliding of the minimally invasive fixation needle 2 to the two sides can be limited, so as to achieve the purpose of locking the position of the minimally invasive fixation needle 2 on the shell 1.

The arrangement of the ball head 41 can make the minimally invasive fixation needle 2 connected thereto rotate, so as to achieve the purpose of fine-tuning the minimally invasive fixation needle 2.

[0028] One of the through holes of the second hole group is further provided with a movable plate 42 and a locking screw 43, the movable plate 42 is connected with the shell 1 through the locking screw 43 at the upper part of the movable plate 42, a spherical cavity provided with a ball head 41 is arranged at the lower part of the movable plate 42, the end of the sleeve 31 corresponding to the spherical cavity is provided with a locking surface 311 which is engaged with the ball head 41, the semi-spherical locking surface 311 and the ball head 41 are in clearance fit, so that the sliding groove 13 can be tightly abutted against the movable plate 42 to complete positioning, the shell 1 is further provided with an avoiding window 11 for allowing the minimally invasive fixation needle 2 to rotate. The minimally invasive fixation needle 2 can be rotated by rotating the movable plate 42, the position of the minimally invasive fixation needle 2 is adjusted, after the adjustment is completed, the locking screw 43 is rotated, the movable plate 42 is abutted against the shell 1, and the position of the movable plate 42 is locked, and the minimally invasive fixation needle 2 is locked after the movable plate 42 is locked.
