Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sleeve technology, and in particular to a six-pointed double-claw type reaming sleeve. Background Technology
[0002] Proximal femoral anteroposterior (PFNA) internal fixation is a common surgical method for treating intertrochanteric fractures of the femur. It is characterized by minimal trauma, secure fixation, and protection against rotation and cutting, making it suitable for elderly patients with osteoporosis. The surgery is usually performed on a traction bed with the patient in a supine position, the affected limb adducted and internally rotated, and the unaffected limb abducted and flexed at the knee for fixation.
[0003] Many types of fractures have fracture lines at the apex of the greater trochanter. When performing PFNA internal fixation, it is necessary to enlarge the hole and medullary cavity from that location or an adjacent site before inserting the main nail. This process often causes separation of the fracture ends, delays fracture healing, or even causes nonunion, preventing patients from engaging in early weight-bearing exercises.
[0004] Doctors have developed some surgical techniques, such as using hooks, towel clamps, or bone holders to maintain reduction, or indirectly maintaining reduction through external compression. However, these methods are complex, invasive, and high-risk, requiring multiple fluoroscopy sessions. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems of complex operation, significant trauma, and high risk in the prior art by proposing a six-pointed double-claw reaming sleeve.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is: a six-pointed double-claw type spinal cannula sleeve, including a main sleeve, a striking part is fixedly installed on the top of the main sleeve, and a handle is fixedly installed on the outer arc surface of the striking part;
[0007] The tip includes a support cylinder, an outer claw, and an inner claw. The support cylinder is fixedly installed at the end of the main sleeve away from the impacted part. The outer claw is fixedly installed at the end of the support cylinder. The inner claw is fixedly installed at the inner arc surface of the support cylinder and near the outer claw. The outer claw and the inner claw form a double claw structure.
[0008] A medullary expander is inserted through the center of the main sleeve, and both the outer and inner claws are inserted into the human bone.
[0009] Optionally, the outer claw is longer than the inner claw, there is an angle between the outer claw and the inner claw, and the ends of both the outer claw and the inner claw are pointed.
[0010] Optionally, six external claws are provided and are distributed in a ring at equal angles at the end of the main sleeve, and the number of internal claws is the same as the number of external claws.
[0011] Optionally, the length of the outer claw is set to be between . mm and . mm, and the length of the inner claw is between . mm and . mm.
[0012] Optionally, the support cylinder is provided with a separation prompting component, which includes an inner friction ring, a guide slider, a straight rod, and a prompting block. The inner friction ring slides up and down on the inner arc surface of the support cylinder. The guide slider is fixedly installed on the outer arc surface of the inner friction ring. The straight rod is fixedly installed on the top of the guide slider. The prompting block is fixedly installed on the top of the straight rod. The inner arc surface of the inner friction ring is in contact with the end of the spinal reamer.
[0013] Optionally, the straight rod extends from the support cylinder into the interior of the main sleeve, with the end of the straight rod protruding from the impacted part, and the indicator block sliding up and down on the outer arc surface of the impacted part.
[0014] Optionally, the inner arc surface of the support cylinder is provided with a guide groove, and the inner friction ring slides up and down in the guide groove.
[0015] Optionally, the reamer enters from the impacted area and exits from the support tube.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0017] This invention uses a hammer to insert the outer and inner claws into the bone by striking the impacted part, thus maintaining the stability of the fracture ends during the insertion of the reamer. The reamer sleeve has a simple design and is easy to operate, requiring no additional complex surgical techniques or equipment. At the same time, by reducing the surgical risks and complications caused by fracture end separation, such as infection and thrombosis, the patient's surgical safety is improved.
[0018] Furthermore, the outer claw adapts to the anatomical features of the femoral medullary cavity of different patients, improving the versatility and adaptability of the reaming tool, while also enhancing the stability of the interlocking. The inner claw reduces potential damage to sensitive tissues within the medullary cavity during reaming, while also enhancing the guidance and stability of the tip within the medullary cavity.
[0019] Furthermore, since the height of the guide groove is the same as the length of the reamer drill bit, when the inner friction ring moves from the lowest point to the highest point of the guide groove, the indicator block moves upward to indicate to the doctor that the reamer drill bit has completely detached from the bone, allowing the reamer to be quickly removed and the fixation post for fixing the bone to be inserted in time, reducing surgical risks.

[0030] Example 1
[0031] This embodiment proposes a six-pointed double-claw type myeloid reamer sleeve, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes a main sleeve 1, a strike-receiving part 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the main sleeve 1, a handle 3 is fixedly installed on the outer arc surface of the strike-receiving part 2, and a spinal expander is inserted through the center of the main sleeve 1.
[0032] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the tip 4 is provided at the end of the tip 4. The tip 4 includes a support cylinder 41, an outer claw 42 and an inner claw 43. The support cylinder 41 is fixedly installed at the end of the main sleeve 1 away from the impacted part 2. The reamer enters from the impacted part 2 and exits from the support cylinder 41. The main sleeve 1 and the support cylinder 41 provide support for the reamer and stabilize its position.
[0033] An outer claw 42 is fixedly installed at the end of the support cylinder 41, and an inner claw 43 is fixedly installed at the inner arc surface of the support cylinder 41 and near the outer claw 42. The outer claw 42 and the inner claw 43 form a double claw structure. The length of the outer claw 42 is longer than that of the inner claw 43. There is an included angle between the outer claw 42 and the inner claw 43. The ends of both the outer claw 42 and the inner claw 43 are made into pointed shapes. There are six outer claws 42, which are distributed in a ring at equal angles at the end of the main sleeve 1. The number of inner claws 43 is the same as the number of outer claws 42.
[0034] By hammering the impacted part 2, the outer claw 42 and inner claw 43 are inserted into the bone, thus maintaining the stability of the fracture ends during the insertion of the medullary reamer.
[0035] The length of the outer claw 42 is set between 4.0 mm and 7.0 mm. This design range is intended to broadly adapt to the femoral medullary cavity anatomy of different patients, improve the versatility and adaptability of the reaming tool, and also enhance the stability of the fit. The length of the inner claw 43 is finely controlled between 2.0 mm and 3.5 mm. This design is intended to reduce potential damage to sensitive tissues in the medullary cavity during reaming, while enhancing the guidance and stability of the tip in the medullary cavity.
[0036] By increasing the contact area between the sleeve and the proximal femur and adopting a bottom-pointed design, this invention ensures the continuous stability of the fracture ends during medullary reaming and main nail insertion, effectively preventing fracture end separation and providing a favorable environment for fracture healing.
[0037] Because the fracture ends are effectively stabilized during surgery, blood circulation to the fracture site is maintained, which is conducive to fracture healing. At the same time, it avoids delayed healing or even nonunion caused by fracture end separation, thus accelerating the patient's recovery process.
[0038] The stable reamer of this application features a simple design and is easy to operate, requiring no additional complex surgical techniques or equipment. At the same time, by reducing surgical risks and complications caused by fragment separation, such as infection and thrombosis, patient safety is significantly improved.
[0039] In this embodiment, the outer claw 42 and inner claw 43 are inserted into the bone by striking the impacted part 2, which can maintain the stability of the fracture ends during the insertion of the medullary reamer. The outer claw 42 is adapted to the femoral medullary cavity anatomy of different patients, which improves the versatility and adaptability of the medullary reamer tool, and also enhances the firmness of the interlocking. The inner claw 43 reduces the potential damage to sensitive tissues in the medullary cavity during medullary reaming, and at the same time enhances the guidance and stability of the tip in the medullary cavity.
[0040] Example 2
[0041] Based on Example 1, this example proposes a six-pointed double-claw type reamer sleeve, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a separation prompting component 5 is provided inside the support cylinder 41. The separation prompting component 5 includes an inner friction ring 52, a guide slider 53, a straight rod 54, and a prompting block 55. The inner friction ring 52 slides up and down on the inner arc surface of the support cylinder 41. The guide slider 53 is fixedly installed on the outer arc surface of the inner friction ring 52. The straight rod 54 is fixedly installed on the top of the guide slider 53. The prompting block 55 is fixedly installed on the top of the straight rod 54. The inner arc surface of the inner friction ring 52 is in contact with the end of the spinal reamer.
[0042] Since the position of the reamer cannot be observed after the sleeve is inserted into the bone, the drill bit at the end of the reamer is thicker than the flexible rod. When the drill bit at the end of the reamer is pulled out of the bone, it will cause the internal friction ring 52 to move, which in turn causes the guide slider 53 and the straight rod 54 to move, thereby changing the position of the prompting block 55 to indicate that the reamer has been pulled out of the bone. This allows the reamer to be pulled out quickly, improving the reaming efficiency.
[0043] A straight rod 54 extends from the support cylinder 41 into the interior of the main sleeve 1, with its end protruding from the impact-receiving part 2. The indicator block 55 slides up and down on the outer arc surface of the impact-receiving part 2. The main sleeve 1, the support cylinder 41, and the impact-receiving part 2 guide the straight rod 54.
[0044] The inner arc surface of the support cylinder 41 is provided with a guide groove 51, and the inner friction ring 52 slides up and down in the guide groove 51. The height of the guide groove 51 is the same as the length of the reamer drill bit. When the inner friction ring 52 moves from the lowest point to the highest point of the guide groove 51, the reamer drill bit is completely detached from the bone.
[0045] In this embodiment, since the height of the guide groove 51 is the same as the length of the reamer drill bit, when the inner friction ring 52 moves from the lowest point to the highest point of the guide groove 51, the prompting block 55 moves upward to prompt the doctor that the reamer drill bit has completely detached from the bone, so that the reamer can be quickly removed and the fixation post for fixing the bone can be inserted in time.
[0046] The procedure is essentially the same as the original PFNA procedure. The original PFNA procedure is as follows: First, under spinal or general anesthesia, the fracture ends are tractioned and reduced on a traction bed; the position is confirmed to be good under C-arm fluoroscopy, then disinfected and draped; a lateral longitudinal incision is made centered on the tip of the greater trochanter as the PFNA insertion point, and then the guide needle is inserted from the tip of the greater trochanter into the distal femoral medullary canal, with good position confirmed under C-arm fluoroscopy; then the medullary canal is reamed, and the PFNA is implanted. After implantation, C-arm fluoroscopy is also required; then proximal and distal locking are performed. After locking, the fracture position and internal fixation position are confirmed to be good under C-arm fluoroscopy. If there are no problems, the skin can be sutured layer by layer. The difference is that during medullary canal reaming, a hammer is used to drive the reamer sleeve into the bone.
[0047] The above specific embodiments are merely several optional embodiments of this utility model. Based on the technical solution of this utility model and the relevant teachings of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can make various alternative improvements and combinations to the above specific embodiments.
