[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0019] like Figures 1-3As shown, the orthopedic navigation probe fixation device of this embodiment includes a base 1, a first support rod 2, and a second support rod 3. The base 1 is used to place the patient's limb, and the lower end of the first support rod 2 is connected to the side of the base 1. The second support rod 3 has a strip-shaped hole 4 along its length, and a fixing bolt 5 is provided between the upper end of the first support rod 2 and the strip-shaped hole 4. One end of the second support rod 3 is located above the base 1, and a clamping buckle 6 for clamping the navigation probe 11 is provided on the end of the second support rod 3. Specifically, the clamping buckle 6 includes a slot 61 for inserting the navigation probe 11, and two opposing elastic hooks 62 are provided on both sides of the opening of the slot 61. The two elastic hooks 62 press the navigation probe 11 into the slot 61, thus stably fixing the navigation probe 11 to the end of the first support rod 2.

[0020] To facilitate the fixation of the affected limb to the seat 1, a connecting strap 8 for limb fixation is provided at the upper end of the seat 1, and both ends of the connecting strap 8 are fixed to the seat 1. Specifically, the connecting strap 8 is connected to the seat 1 in the following way: one end of the connecting strap 8 is provided with a protrusion 81 perpendicular to it, which passes through the lower end of the seat 1 and fits against the lower end surface of the seat 1. In this way, the size of the protrusion 81 is larger than the hole on the seat 1 through which the connecting strap 8 passes, so that the protrusion 81 cannot detach from the seat 1. The other end of the connecting strap 8 is provided with Velcro, and the upper end of the seat 1 is provided with a connecting hole 9. The end of the connecting strap 8 passes through the connecting hole 9 and is fixed by Velcro. The affected limb can be fixed to the upper end of the seat 1 using the connecting strap 8.

[0021] In one embodiment, a sliding mechanism 7 is also provided between the first support rod 2 and the base 1.

By rotating and adjusting the fastening screw 10, the position of the inner tube 22 can be pressed and fixed. The outer tube 21 and the inner tube 22 can both be made of square tubes to avoid using round tubes, thereby preventing the inner tube 22 from rotating, which is beneficial for fixing the navigation probe 11.

[0024] In use, first place the affected limb on the seat 1 and fix it with the connecting strap 8. Then fix the navigation probe 11 in the clamping buckle 6. Move the slider 71 to make the position of the first support rod 2 close to the cross section of the affected area. Then loosen the fastening screw 10 to adjust the height of the first support rod 2 and then lock it to ensure that the navigation probe 11 is above the affected limb. Finally, adjust the bolt 5, move and rotate the second support rod 3 to adjust the direction of the needle tip of the navigation probe 11. With simple adjustments, the navigation probe 11 and the affected limb can be kept relatively fixed, which facilitates the operation based on the navigation image.

[0025] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
