Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of knee joint prostheses, specifically a knee joint prosthesis with a reinforcement structure. Background Technology

[0002] Knee replacement surgery can effectively resolve knee joint problems, alleviate patient pain, and restore knee joint function to a certain extent. The prosthetic structure of a knee joint includes: the femoral condyle, tibial plateau, tibial plateau pad, patella, and related appendages.

[0003] However, the existing technology has the following drawbacks:

[0004] Most existing hinged knee prostheses rely on hinge bearings for support between the upper and lower hinge structures. Furthermore, the connection between the knee prosthesis mounting structure and the rotating connection structure is not tight, which can easily lead to loosening, misalignment, or excessive wear of the pads, thereby affecting the normal use of the knee prosthesis. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a knee joint prosthesis with a reinforced structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a knee joint prosthesis with a reinforced structure, comprising a tibial support, a prosthesis body, and a first fixing rod. The tibial support includes a support plate and a top plate. The bottom of the top plate is snapped onto the top of the support plate. Grooves are provided on both sides of the top of the top plate. Gaskets are adhered inside the grooves. A mounting seat is embedded in the middle of the bottom of the prosthesis body. The bottom of the mounting seat is rotatably connected to the middle of the top of the tibial support through a first connector and a second connector. The two sides of the bottom of the prosthesis body are snapped onto the grooves. The middle of the bottom of the tibial support is fixedly connected to the tibia through a second fixing rod. The middle of the top of the mounting seat is provided with a first fixing rod and is fixedly connected to the patella through the first fixing rod.

[0007] Using the above technical solution, the two sides of the bottom of the prosthesis can rotate back and forth inside the groove, which facilitates knee flexion.

[0008] The top of the tray has a second slot in the middle. The second connector includes a second block and a sleeve. The bottom of the sleeve is fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the second block. The second block is engaged and installed inside the second slot and the two are connected by screw threads. The top plate has a second through hole in the middle and the sleeve is inserted and installed inside the second through hole.

[0009] In the above technical solution, the size of the second through hole is smaller than the size of the second slot, which acts as a block for the second connector. The cross-sectional shape of the second slot and the cross-sectional shape of the second block are both circular.

[0010] The first connector includes a first locking block and a cylinder. The top of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom of the first locking block. A rubber column is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cylinder. An annular baffle is fixedly installed at the top of the sleeve, and an annular plate is fixedly installed on the outer side of the bottom of the cylinder.

[0011] Using the above technical solution, the rubber column is elastic, and the cylinder can move up and down inside the sleeve as the knee joint bends and squeezes the rubber column.

[0012] The mounting base has a first slot and a third slot in the middle from the inside to the outside. The first slot is engaged and installed inside the first slot and the two are connected by screw threads. The base plate is engaged and installed inside the third slot and the two are connected by screw threads.

[0013] With the above technical solution, the base plate is placed at the bottom of the first slot, which acts as a block to prevent the first card block from being firmly installed on the mounting base.

[0014] The base plate has a first through hole in the middle, and the cylinder is inserted into the first through hole.

[0015] Using the above technical solution, the cylinder passes through the first through hole, which facilitates connection with the sleeve.

[0016] The mounting base has a fourth slot in the middle of the top, and a first connecting block is fixedly installed in the middle of the bottom inner wall of the fourth slot. The first fixing rod has a first flange on the outer side of its wider end, and a first mounting groove is opened in the middle of its wider end. The first flange is engaged and installed inside the fourth slot, and the two are connected by screw threads. The first connecting block is threaded inside the first mounting groove.

[0017] In the above technical solution, the shape of the first connecting block is the same as the shape of the wider end of the first fixing rod, and the area around the overlapping connection is reinforced by inclined screw thread connection.

[0018] A second connecting block is fixedly installed in the middle of the bottom of the pallet, and the outer side of the bottom of the second connecting block is provided with external threads. A second mounting groove is provided in the middle of the top of the second fixing rod, and the inner wall of the bottom of the second mounting groove is provided with internal threads. The second connecting block is threadedly installed inside the second mounting groove. The top of the second fixing rod is threadedly connected to the bottom of the pallet through a second flange.

[0019] Using the above technical solution, the top of the second flange is tightly fitted to the middle of the bottom of the pallet and fixed by a screw thread connection.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] The tibial support and the prosthesis body of this utility model are rotatably connected by a first connector and a second connector. The first connector and the second connector are respectively engaged with the tibial support and the prosthesis body by a first locking block and a second locking block, and then fixed with screws to reinforce them and make the connection between the two tight and prevent loosening.
