Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to bone cutters and devices for orthopedic surgery. Background Technology

[0002] Endplates are the membranes of muscle cells below the nerve terminals at the neuromuscular junction. There are vertebral endplates and motor endplates. Vertebral endplates are formed after the epiphyseal plates on the upper and lower surfaces of the vertebral body cease ossification during growth and development, resulting in slightly concave endplates. The central part of the vertebral endplate is covered by a thin layer of hyaline cartilage, which persists throughout life; this is the cartilaginous endplate. The upper and lower cartilaginous endplates connect with the nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosus to form the intervertebral disc. Vertebral endplates form the upper and lower boundaries of the intervertebral disc, located between the cancellous bone in the center of the vertebral body and the intervertebral disc. They consist of subchondral bone approximately 0.5 mm thick and cartilage of equal thickness covering it. Motor endplates are distributed within skeletal muscles and are effectors formed by the axonal terminals of motor neurons and skeletal muscle fibers, innervating muscle fiber contraction.

[0003] In orthopedic surgery, it is often necessary to remove the endplate or cartilage. Traditional hand-held cutting tools are inefficient, while electric cutting tools, whether cutting edge type or steel abrasive type, have the problem of clogging the interdental space, which reduces the efficiency of the removal. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a bone scalpel and an orthopedic surgical device to at least solve the problem that existing bone scalpels, when used to remove endplates or cartilage, can block interdental spaces, leading to a decrease in resection efficiency.

[0005] This utility model solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical means:

[0006] In a first aspect, this utility model provides a bone scalpel for removing endplates or cartilage. The bone scalpel includes a blade and a handle, which are fixedly connected. The blade is an annular blade with a hollow center, and the inner wall of the blade forms an inclined surface that slopes towards the hollow center. The inclined surface intersects with the outer wall of the blade to form an annular cutting edge.

[0007] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some embodiments, the annular cutting edge has two edges, which are located on opposite sides of the blade.

[0008] The bone scalpel of this invention can be used to remove endplates and cartilage. In unidirectional rotational resection, the hollow center of the annular blade facilitates the removal of tissue debris, and the annular cutting edge formed by the intersection of the inclined surface and the outer wall of the blade is relatively sharp, which effectively improves the efficiency of endplate and cartilage resection, greatly reduces the operation time, and reduces the potential risks caused by excessive operation time.

[0009] Secondly, this utility model also provides an orthopedic surgical device, including the bone scalpel described in the first aspect above.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 This application discloses a bone scalpel 100 for removing endplates or cartilage. The bone scalpel 100 includes a blade 110 and a handle 120, which are fixedly connected. The blade 110 is an annular blade with a hollow center. The inner wall of the blade 110 forms an inclined surface 111 that slopes towards the hollow center. The inclined surface 111 intersects with the outer wall 112 of the blade 110 to form an annular cutting edge 113. In this embodiment, there are two annular cutting edges 113, which are located on opposite sides of the blade 110.

[0027] The aforementioned bone scalpel 100 can be used to remove the endplate and cartilage. In unidirectional rotational resection, the central hollow 114 of the annular blade 110 facilitates the removal of tissue debris, and the annular cutting edge 113 formed by the intersection of the inclined surface 111 and the outer wall 112 of the blade 110 is relatively sharp, which effectively improves the efficiency of endplate and cartilage resection, greatly reduces the operation time, and reduces the potential risks caused by excessive operation time.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 2-5 The orthopedic surgical device of this application includes the aforementioned bone scalpel 100, and further includes a connecting assembly and an interface assembly. The connecting assembly includes a drive shaft 210 and an outer tube 220. The drive shaft 210 is connected to the handle 120. Specifically, one end of the drive shaft 210 has a blind insertion hole 211, and the handle 120 is inserted into the blind insertion hole 211 with an interference fit. The outer tube 220 is sleeved on the drive shaft 210, and the distal end of the outer tube 220 (the end furthest from the interface assembly) is at a certain distance from the blade 110, i.e., the distal end of the outer tube 220 does not contact the blade 110. The interface assembly includes a front outer shell 310 and a rear outer shell 320, which are connected. Specifically, the outer wall of the front outer shell 310 has an annular groove 311, and one end of the rear outer shell 320 has an annular snap 321, which is embedded in the annular groove 311. One end of the outer tube 220 is fixedly inserted into the front housing 310 and sealed with glue.

[0029] A first water flow channel 410 is provided between the drive shaft 210 and the outer tube 220. Water from the first water flow channel 410 is sprayed onto the blade 110 to cool and rinse the cutting position. The interface assembly has a second water flow channel 420, which is connected to an external water injection mechanism. The first water flow channel 410 and the second water flow channel 420 are connected.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 A support tube 230 is sleeved on the drive shaft 210. The support tube 230 is eccentrically positioned to the drive shaft 210. One outer wall of the support tube 230 contacts the inner wall of the outer tube 220, and a gap exists between the other outer wall of the support tube 230 and the inner wall of the outer tube 220. This gap forms the first water flow channel 410. In this embodiment, the support tube 230 serves a supporting function between the drive shaft 210 and the outer tube 220. Furthermore, the eccentric positioning of the support tube 230 and the drive shaft 210 allows for a gap between one side of the support tube 230 and the outer tube 220, which is used as the first water flow channel 410.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 The front housing 310 has a radially arranged water inlet hole 312, which is located inside the rear housing 320. The interior of the front housing 310 has a stepped hole 313, and there is a cavity between the outer wall of the drive shaft 210 and the inner wall of the stepped hole 313. The cavity forms a water injection cavity, which is connected to the first water flow channel 410 and the water inlet hole 312. The interior of the rear housing 320 is equipped with a water cooling jacket 330. The outer circumferential wall of the water cooling jacket 330 has a spiral channel 331. The spiral channel 331, the water inlet hole 312, and the water injection cavity are sequentially connected to form the second water flow channel 420.

[0032] One end of the water injection chamber is connected to the first water flow channel 410, while the other end needs to be sealed. Specifically, a sealing assembly is fitted inside the stepped hole 313 on the drive shaft 210. The sealing assembly is used to seal the water injection chamber. The sealing assembly includes a sealing tube 510 and a sealing sleeve 520. One end of the sealing sleeve 520 is inserted into the sealing tube 510, and the outer wall of the other end of the sealing sleeve 520 contacts the inner wall of the stepped hole 313 and is sealed with glue.

[0033] In order to enable the drive shaft 210 to rotate more stably inside the outer tube 220 and the interface assembly, a bearing 600 is fitted on the drive shaft 210 and the bearing 600 is fixed inside the sealing sleeve 520.

[0034] The aforementioned orthopedic surgical device connects the drive shaft 210 to an external motor. The rotation of the external motor drives the drive shaft 210 to rotate in one direction, which in turn drives the blade 110 to rotate in one direction to remove the endplate or cartilage. The annular blade 110 can effectively improve the efficiency of endplate and cartilage removal, greatly reduce the operation time, and reduce the potential risks caused by excessive operation time.

[0035] The aforementioned orthopedic surgical device injects water into the spiral channel 331 of the water-cooling jacket 330 through an external water injection mechanism. The injected water enters the water inlet 312 and the water injection chamber through the spiral channel 331, and then flows through the gap between the outer tube 220 and the support tube 230 and is sprayed out from the distal end of the outer tube 220 to cool the resection site and avoid secondary damage caused by the resection surgery.

[0036] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
