[0002] Ulna and radius are two long bones of the forearm of the human body, when the palm of the human body faces forward, the one close to the body side is radius, and the one far from the body side is ulna. Ulnar deviation, radial deviation, palm flexion and dorsal extension are several common movement forms of the wrist joint, among which ulnar deviation is the wrist joint tilting to the ulna side, radial deviation is the wrist joint tilting to the radius side, palm flexion is the wrist joint rotating to the palm side of the hand, and dorsal extension is the wrist joint rotating to the back side of the hand. The above four movements can be combined to realize the rotation of the wrist joint.

[0003] Radius distal end fracture is the most common type of fracture of the upper limb, and the affected part needs to be fixed first after manual reduction. The commonly used fixing methods at present include plaster fixing, small splint fixing and high molecular bandage fixing, etc., which all have their own defects, such as heavy plaster fixing, poor air permeability; if small splint fixing is not used properly, it is easy to press the patient's bone fascia and cause bone fascia syndrome; high molecular bandage has poor plasticity.

The radius distal end fracture fixing aid includes a forearm module, a front and rear connecting module and a palm module. The forearm module and the palm module are completed by reverse modeling, the front and rear connecting module connects the forearm module and the palm module to form the main body of the aid, and can be connected with the forearm module to realize the locking of the palm flexion and dorsal extension direction of the wrist, and connected with the palm module to realize the locking of the radial deviation and ulnar deviation direction. It is more suitable for the rehabilitation needs of patients with radius distal end fracture.

[0005] In actual application, the above-mentioned scheme still has some deficiencies, such as the aid cannot maintain the continuous traction of the wrist after being worn, the comfort needs to be improved after being worn for a long time, and continuous traction is helpful to the maintenance of the position of the fracture end, and the lack of continuous and effective traction will affect the rehabilitation efficiency.

The palm back plate (32) is fixedly provided with a limiting boss (234). The limiting boss (234) is fixedly connected to the limiting hole plate (231) through a screw. The limiting boss (234) slides along the track direction of the arc-shaped sliding rail (232) and is located on the inner side of the arc-shaped sliding rail (232). The limiting hole plate (231) is provided with a second pin hole (235) matched with the first pin hole (233). The second pin hole (235) and the first pin hole (233) in the corresponding position are jointly inserted with a locking pin (236). The limiting hole plate (231) is provided with a pin limiting cover (237) at the top.

8. The external fixation device of claim 7, wherein: The limiting hole plate (231) and the locking pin (236) are made of a magnetic metal material. The pin limiting cover (237) is made of a permanent magnet material. The bottom of the pin limiting cover (237) is provided with a groove (238) for accommodating the locking pin (236).

9. The external fixation device of claim 1, wherein: The flexion and extension locking mechanism (22) comprises a locking matching tooth (221) and a lateral locking tooth (222) matched with the locking matching tooth (221). The arc-shaped connecting piece (21) is provided with a flexion and extension adjusting hole (223) at both ends. The end of the integral occlusion connecting piece (243) is provided with a polygonal hole groove (224). The locking matching tooth (221) and the lateral locking tooth (222) are respectively embedded in the flexion and extension adjusting hole (223) and the polygonal hole groove (224). The lateral locking tooth (222) is embedded with a hexagonal bolt (225) at the shaft center. The hexagonal bolt (225) penetrates the locking matching tooth (221) and is threadedly connected with a hexagonal nut (226). The locking matching tooth (221) and the lateral locking tooth (222) are locked by the hexagonal bolt (225). The outer end surface of the locking matching tooth (221) is provided with an axial limiting ring (227). The end of the axial limiting ring (227) is movably sleeved with the hexagonal nut (226). The hexagonal bolt (225) is sleeved with a spring (228) on the outer side and between the locking matching tooth (221) and the lateral locking tooth (222).

10. The external fixation device of claim 1, wherein: The compression part (4) is a gas bag body. The gas bag body is provided with a charging and discharging hole.
