Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of surgical aids technology, and in particular to a lateral fixation device for guiding the directional installation of the acetabular cup. Background Technology
[0002] Hip replacement, also known as artificial hip replacement, involves placing an artificial prosthesis, comprising the femoral and acetabular portions, onto healthy bone using bone cement and screws to replace the diseased joint and restore normal hip function. It is a relatively mature and reliable treatment method. However, in total hip arthroplasty (THA), excessively large or small abduction or anteversion angles of the acetabular cup placement can lead to postoperative problems such as prosthesis dislocation and premature wear. To avoid excessive errors, computer navigation systems and robotic techniques are primarily used during THA to assess the cup placement angle. However, due to the complexity and cost of these procedures, surgeons often rely on visual assessment, which can easily result in significant errors. Furthermore, when performing hip replacement via the posterolateral approach, the patient must lie on their side. Currently used lateral decubitus supports cannot securely fix the pelvis, leading to pelvic tilt during surgery and affecting the determination of the acetabular cup implantation direction. Therefore, we propose a lateral decubitus fixation device to guide the directional installation of the acetabular cup. Summary of the Invention
