Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of orthopedic rehabilitation equipment technology, and more specifically, to a fracture splint for orthopedic rehabilitation. Background Technology

[0002] Orthopedics is one of the most common departments in major hospitals. It mainly studies the anatomy, physiology and pathology of the musculoskeletal system and uses drugs, surgery and physical methods to maintain and develop the normal shape and function of this system. In the process of orthopedic rehabilitation, fracture splints are often used to clamp and fix the fracture site.

[0003] Existing fracture splints are typically formed by connecting multiple plates sequentially, and the length of the plates and the spacing between them are not easily adjustable. Therefore, fracture splints may not be suitable for different patients or different fracture sites, requiring them to be remade, which is inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the problem that the spacing and size of fracture splints in the prior art are not easy to adjust, this utility model provides a fracture splint for orthopedic rehabilitation that can be easily adjusted in size and spacing, thus making it suitable for different patients and different fracture sites.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a fracture splint for orthopedic rehabilitation, comprising: a plurality of splint bodies arranged in an array along a first direction and a second direction, a connecting rope between each two adjacent splint bodies along the first direction, and an adjustment component connected to the splint body at both ends of each connecting rope, the connecting rope being adjustablely connected through the adjustment component along the first direction, and an intermediate plate between two adjacent splint bodies along the second direction, the two ends of the intermediate plate being adjustablely connected to the splint body along the second direction.

[0006] In this invention, the main body of each splint is connected by connecting ropes and intermediate plates to form the main structure of a fracture splint, which can be wrapped and fixed to the patient's fracture site for orthopedic rehabilitation. Since the connecting ropes are adjustable in length along a first direction by passing through an adjustment assembly, the length of the connecting ropes between adjacent splint bodies can be easily adjusted, thereby adjusting the spacing between each splint body along the first direction. Since the intermediate plates are adjustable in length along a second direction between the splint bodies, the spacing between each splint body along the second direction can be adjusted. This orthopedic rehabilitation fracture splint allows for adjustment of the spacing between the splint bodies in both the first and second directions, making it suitable for fracture fixation needs at different locations.

[0007] Furthermore, the adjustment assembly includes an adjustment block, a threaded arc plate, and a nut. The adjustment block is connected to the clamping plate body and has a through hole along a first direction. The connecting rope passes through the through hole and is connected. At least two threaded arc plates are fixedly connected to the adjustment block on the side away from the through hole of the clamping plate body. Each threaded arc plate is spaced around the circumference of the connecting rope and has an external thread. The nut is threadedly connected to each threaded arc plate along the first direction to fix the connecting rope.

[0008] In this design, a through hole is made in the adjusting block to allow the connecting rope to pass through, which facilitates the adjustment of the length of the connecting rope between adjacent clamping plates. The connecting rope can be fixed by the threaded arc plate and nut.

[0009] Furthermore, the adjustment assembly also includes a fixing frame and a first fixing member. A first sliding groove is provided on the side of the clamping plate body along the second direction. The adjustment block is slidably connected in the first sliding groove along the second direction. One end of the fixing frame is fixedly connected to the adjustment block. The other end of the fixing frame is adjustablely connected to one end of the first fixing member. The other end of the first fixing member abuts against the clamping plate body to fix the adjustment block.

[0010] In this solution, the adjusting block slides in the first groove, which can change the position of the connecting rope. The position of the adjusting block is easily fixed by the fixing frame and the first fixing member. This solution can adjust the position of part of the splint body along the second direction to suit the fracture needs of different parts.

[0011] Furthermore, the fixing frame has a threaded hole, and the first fixing element is a bolt, which is threadedly connected to the threaded hole.

[0012] In this design, a threaded connection is made using bolts, which facilitates adjustment of the position of the first fixing component.

[0013] Furthermore, each of the clamping plate bodies has a second sliding groove inside along the second direction. The two ends of the intermediate plate are slidably connected to the second sliding grooves on both sides. A second fixing member is connected between the intermediate plate and the clamping plate body. One end of the second fixing member is adjustablely connected to the clamping plate body, and the other end of the second fixing member abuts against the intermediate plate to fix the intermediate plate.

[0014] In this design, the intermediate plate is slidably connected to the second slide groove and fixed by the second fastener, which facilitates the adjustment of the connection position of the intermediate plate.

[0015] Furthermore, the top of the clamping plate body is provided with a limiting groove that communicates with the second sliding groove along the second direction. The two ends of the limiting groove are not connected to the side of the clamping plate body. Both ends of the intermediate plate are provided with limiting protrusions, and the limiting protrusions are slidably connected in the limiting groove.

[0016] In this solution, the sliding connection between the limiting groove and the limiting protrusion prevents the middle clamping plate from coming out, as the two ends of the limiting groove are not connected to the side of the clamping plate body. This further limits the relative sliding of the middle plate and the clamping plate body.

[0017] Furthermore, the clamping plate body has a threaded hole, and the second fixing member is a bolt, which is threadedly connected to the threaded hole.

[0018] In this design, the position of the second fixing component is easily adjusted by using bolts for threaded connection.

[0019] Furthermore, each of the two ends of the clamp body along the first direction is connected with a strap along the first direction, and the strap is fixedly connected with Velcro.

[0020] In this approach, the fracture splint is easily fixed to the patient's fracture site using straps and Velcro.

[0021] Furthermore, an ice pack is provided between adjacent clamp bodies along the first direction, and the ice pack is detachably connected to the connecting rope.

[0022] In this treatment plan, ice packs can be applied to the fracture site to relieve pain.

[0023] Furthermore, the inner side of the threaded arc plate is provided with clamping protrusions.

[0024] In this solution, the clamping protrusions are used to improve the clamping and fixing effect on the connecting rope.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0026] I. The fracture splint for orthopedic rehabilitation of this utility model is easy to adjust the length of the connecting rope between adjacent splint bodies, thereby adjusting the spacing between each splint body along the first direction and the spacing between each splint body along the second direction. Therefore, it is suitable for the fixation needs of fractures in different parts of the body.

[0027] II. The fracture splint for orthopedic rehabilitation of this utility model has an adjusting block that can slide along the second direction, thereby adjusting the connection position of the connecting rope with the splint body in the second direction, so that some of the splint bodies can be in different positions in the second direction to suit the fracture fixation needs of different parts.

[0039] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0040] Example 1

[0041] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment discloses a fracture splint for orthopedic rehabilitation, comprising a plurality of splint bodies 1 arranged in an array along a first direction and a second direction. A connecting rope 2 is provided between each pair of adjacent splint bodies 1 along the first direction. Each end of the connecting rope 2 is provided with an adjustment component 3 connected to the splint body 1. The connecting rope 2 is adjustable in length along the first direction by passing through the adjustment component 3. An intermediate plate 4 is provided between each pair of adjacent splint bodies 1 along the second direction. The two ends of the intermediate plate 4 are adjustable in length along the second direction by connecting to the splint body 1.

[0042] In this embodiment, the main bodies 1 of each splint are connected by connecting ropes 2 and intermediate plates 4 to form the main structure of the fracture splint, which can wrap and fix the patient's fracture site for orthopedic rehabilitation. Since the connecting ropes 2 are adjustable in length along the first direction by passing through the adjusting assembly 3, the length of the connecting ropes 2 between adjacent splint bodies 1 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the spacing between each splint body 1 along the first direction. Since the intermediate plates 4 are adjustable in length along the second direction between the splint bodies 1, the spacing between each splint body 1 along the second direction can be adjusted. The fracture splint for orthopedic rehabilitation of this solution allows for adjustment of the spacing between each splint body 1 in both the first and second directions, making it suitable for the fixation needs of fractures in different locations.

[0043] Specifically, refer to Figure 1The coordinate system is shown. The first direction is the X direction shown in the figure, and the second direction is the Y direction shown in the figure. In this embodiment, the X and Y directions can be perpendicular to each other, so that the clamping plate bodies 1 are arranged in a rectangular array. The number of clamping plate bodies 1 along the first and second directions can be selected according to actual needs. For example, in this embodiment, there are five clamping plate bodies 1 along the X direction, i.e., the first direction, and two clamping plate bodies 1 along the Y direction, i.e., the second direction, for a total of ten clamping plate bodies 1 forming a rectangular array.

[0044] In some embodiments, during use, the distance between each splint body 1 can be adjusted to a suitable level, and then the fracture splint can be bound and fixed to the patient's fracture site using external fixation straps. Alternatively, as in this embodiment, each splint body 1 at both ends along the first direction is connected to a strap 5 along the first direction, and the splint is fixed by the straps 5 on both sides. Furthermore, Velcro 51 is fixedly connected to the straps 5, and the Velcro 51 facilitates fixation and removal.

[0045] refer to Figures 3 to 7 In this embodiment, the adjusting component 3 includes an adjusting block 31, a threaded arc plate 32, and a nut 33. The adjusting block 31 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate body 1 and has a through hole along a first direction. The connecting rope 2 passes through the through hole. At least two threaded arc plates 32 are fixedly connected to the adjusting block 31 on the side away from the through hole of the clamping plate body 1. Each threaded arc plate 32 is spaced around the circumference of the connecting rope 2 and has external threads. The nut 33 is threadedly connected to each threaded arc plate 32 along the first direction to fix the connecting rope 2. The through hole in the adjusting block 31 allows the connecting rope 2 to pass through, facilitating the adjustment of the length of the connecting rope 2 between adjacent clamping plate bodies 1. The threaded arc plate 32 and the nut 33 can fix the connecting rope 2.

[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, there are two threaded arc-shaped plates 32. The two threaded arc-shaped plates 32 are located on both sides of the connecting rope 2, and their arc-shaped surfaces are in contact with the outer surface of the connecting rope 2. There is a gap between the two threaded arc-shaped plates 32, allowing the connecting rope 2 to pass through the threaded arc-shaped plates 32 and the through hole, and to move easily. By connecting the threads to the external threads of the threaded arc-shaped plates 32, the threaded arc-shaped plates 32 on both sides are closed and clamped, thereby fixing the connecting rope 2. When it is necessary to adjust the length of the connecting rope 2, simply loosen the nut 33 to move the connecting rope 2, adjust it to a suitable length, and then fix the threads again, making adjustment and use convenient.

[0047] In other embodiments, the number of threaded arc plates 32 may also be different, such as three or four, with each threaded arc plate 32 arranged around the circumference of the connecting rope 2 and fixed by threads.

[0048] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4In this embodiment, each clamping plate body 1 has a second sliding groove 12 formed inside along the second direction. The two ends of the intermediate plate 4 are slidably connected to the second sliding grooves 12 on both sides. A second fixing member 41 is connected between the intermediate plate 4 and the clamping plate body 1. One end of the second fixing member 41 is adjustablely connected to the clamping plate body 1, and the other end of the second fixing member 41 abuts against the intermediate plate 4 to fix the intermediate plate 4. The intermediate plate 4 is slidably connected to the second sliding groove 12 and fixed by the second fixing member 41, which facilitates the adjustment of the connection position of the intermediate plate 4.

[0049] Specifically, the second slide groove 12 can match both ends of the intermediate plate 4 to facilitate the sliding of the intermediate plate 4 in the second slide groove 12. The clamping plate body 1 has a threaded hole on its top side along the second direction, and the second fixing member 41 is a bolt, which is threadedly connected to the threaded hole. The bottom of the bolt abuts against the top surface of the intermediate plate 4, and the threaded connection through the bolt facilitates the adjustment of the position of the second fixing member 41.

[0050] refer to Figure 8 In this embodiment, an ice pack 6 is provided between adjacent splint bodies 1 along the first direction. The ice pack 6 is detachably connected to the connecting rope 2. The ice pack 6 can be attached to the connecting rope 2 with tape. The ice pack 6 can be used to apply ice to the fracture site to relieve pain. When the ice pack 6 is not needed, it can be easily removed.

[0051] In this embodiment, the inner side of the threaded arc plate 32 is provided with a clamping protrusion (not shown in the figure). The clamping protrusion squeezes the connecting rope 2, thereby improving the clamping and fixing effect on the connecting rope 2.

[0052] Example 2

[0053] refer to Figures 5 to 7 This embodiment is similar to Embodiment 1, except that in this embodiment, the adjusting component 3 further includes a fixing frame 34 and a first fixing member 35. A first sliding groove 11 is formed on the side of the splint body 1 along the second direction. The adjusting block 31 is slidably connected to the first sliding groove 11 along the second direction. One end of the fixing frame 34 is fixedly connected to the adjusting block 31, and the other end of the fixing frame 34 is adjustablely connected to one end of the first fixing member 35. The other end of the first fixing member 35 abuts against the splint body 1 to fix the adjusting block 31. The adjusting block 31 slides in the first sliding groove 11, which can change the position of the connecting rope 2. The fixing frame 34 and the first fixing member 35 facilitate the fixing of the position of the adjusting block 31. This solution can adjust the position of part of the splint body 1 along the second direction to suit the fracture needs of different locations.

[0054] Specifically, the adjusting block 31 may have a roughly cross-shaped cross-section, and the first slide groove 11 also has a roughly cross-shaped cross-section. The upper and lower ends of the adjusting block 31 are respectively placed in the upper and lower grooves of the first slide groove 11, so that the adjusting block 31 will not fall out of the first slide groove 11. The groove on the outward side of the first slide groove 11 is connected to the outer surface of the clamping plate body 1, so that one end of the side of the adjusting block 31 can protrude from the first slide groove 11. The through hole leads from the end of the adjusting block 31 protruding from the side of the clamping plate body 1 to the interior of the clamping plate body 1. A cavity is also formed inside the clamping plate body 1 located in the first slide groove 11, and the cavity is used to accommodate the connecting rope 2 after passing through the through hole.

[0055] The fixing bracket 34 can be welded above the adjusting block 31, with its top extending out of the fixing plane. A first fixing member 35 is adjustablely connected to the fixing plane. The first fixing member 35 can be a bolt with a threaded hole on the fixing plane. The bolt is threaded into the threaded hole, allowing its height to be adjusted vertically. The bottom of the bolt abuts against the top surface of the clamping plate body 1, thus fixing the adjusting block 31. To adjust the position of the adjusting block 31, simply loosen the bolt to move the adjusting block 31 along the first direction in the first slide groove 11. Once the desired position is reached, tighten the bolt to secure the adjusting block 31. This method of adjustment is convenient.

[0056] When immobilizing certain fracture sites, the splint body 1 at different circumferential positions may need to have different lengths to adapt to the physiological structure of the human body and facilitate patient recovery. In this embodiment, the length of the splint body 1 in the second direction can be adjusted to form a distribution of splint bodies 1 with different circumferential lengths. However, at this time, the connecting ropes 2 between the adjusted splint bodies 1 may tilt, causing instability in the fracture splint fixation. In this case, the position of the connecting ropes 2 can be adjusted by moving the adjusting block 31 along the first direction, so that the connecting ropes 2 are distributed in parallel, thereby improving the stability of the fracture splint fixation.

[0057] Example 3

[0058] refer to Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment is similar to Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, except that in this embodiment, the top of the clamping plate body 1 is provided with a limiting groove 13 connected to the second sliding groove 12 along the second direction. The two ends of the limiting groove 13 are not connected to the side of the clamping plate body 1. Both ends of the intermediate plate 4 are provided with limiting protrusions 42, which are slidably connected in the limiting groove 13. Through the sliding connection of the limiting groove 13 and the limiting protrusions 42, since the two ends of the limiting groove 13 are not connected to the side of the clamping plate body 1, the intermediate clamping plate can be prevented from falling out, and the relative sliding of the intermediate plate 4 and the clamping plate body 1 can be further limited.

[0059] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
