Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical devices, specifically an adjustable support for ankle arthroscopic surgery. Background Technology
[0002] Ankle arthroscopy involves inserting a luminous metal tube into the joint cavity through a small incision. The internal structure of the joint cavity is magnified on a monitor, allowing observation of lesions and their locations. Simultaneously, a comprehensive examination and cleaning of the affected area is performed under video monitoring. Ankle arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure with both diagnostic and therapeutic functions. It is primarily suitable for assessing the extent of injury in patients with persistent joint pain after trauma, for degenerative or rheumatoid arthritis, for nonspecific synovitis of the ankle joint, for osteochondritis dissecans or avascular necrosis of the talus, for removing loose bodies before ligament repair, and for observing cartilage damage. Ankle arthroscopy has gained increasing acceptance due to its advantages, including minimal surgical trauma, rapid recovery, and aesthetically pleasing results.
[0003] Because the ankle joint can be accessed via the anterolateral, anteromedial, anterocentral, and posterolateral approaches, current surgical procedures using the anterolateral approach involve placing the patient's ankle outside the foot of the bed before surgery, requiring the unaffected limb to also be exposed, which does not meet aseptic requirements. The posterolateral approach requires raising the foot to a suitable height for drilling or using rolled-up surgical materials to pad the ankle, which is inconvenient for surgical manipulation and prevents easy movement and fixation. Furthermore, surgeons often use their abdomen to press against the patient's foot, keeping the ankle joint firmly in the surgical position. This movement of the abdomen during surgery affects the patient's ankle joint posture, thus hindering arthroscopic procedures and causing surgical difficulties. Utility Model Content

[0013] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0014] Example 1, in conjunction with Appendix Figure 1-2 An adjustable support for ankle arthroscopy includes an adjustable telescopic rod 1, a support plate 2 fixed to the front end of the adjustable telescopic rod 1, a mounting frame rotatably connected to the rear end of the adjustable telescopic rod 1, and a limiting mechanism disposed between the mounting frame and the support plate 2. The mounting frame includes a C-clamp 3, an adjustable telescopic rod 4 fixed to the upper end of the C-clamp 3, and an adjustable telescopic rod 5 fixed to the upper end of the adjustable telescopic rod 4. The rear end of the adjustable telescopic rod 1 is rotatably connected to the front end of the adjustable telescopic rod 5. The limiting mechanism includes a support plate 6 fixed to the front end of the adjustable telescopic rod 5 and an adjusting plate 7 rotatably connected to the support plate 2. The upper side of the support plate 6 is evenly provided with stop teeth 8, and grooves are formed between adjacent stop teeth 8. The side of the support plate 2 away from the adjustable telescopic rod 1 is fixed with a handle 9 and a connecting plate 10. The upper side of the connecting plate 10 away from the support plate 2 is fixed with an adjustable baffle 11, and the upper outer side of the adjustable baffle 11 is provided with a protruding plate 12.
[0015] In use, the adjustable bracket is fixed to the operating table using the C-clamp 3. The position of the adjustable telescopic rod 1 is adjusted using the adjustable telescopic rod 2 4 and the adjustable telescopic rod 3 5. The position of the support plate 2 is adjusted using the adjustable telescopic rod 1 1. The patient's ankle is placed on the support plate 2. The adjustable baffle 11 is extended by the protruding plate 12 so that the patient's foot touches the adjustable baffle 11, and the ankle joint is turned 90 degrees to facilitate the operation of the ankle arthroscopy. As needed, the adjustable telescopic rod 1 1 can be rotated upward by lifting the handle 9 so that the support plate 2 reaches the required height. At this time, the adjusting plate 7 rotates.
