Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical devices, specifically to an internal bone plate for avulsion fractures of the proximal posterior cruciate ligament of the tibia. Background Technology

[0002] The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is a vital structure in the knee joint, its primary function being to prevent posterior tibial slippage. Avulsion fractures of the proximal posterior cruciate ligament insertion are a common sports injury, particularly following high-energy impacts or torsional events. This type of fracture requires precise surgical treatment to ensure optimal recovery and function.

[0003] In existing technical solutions, such as the internal fixation device for avulsion fractures of the proximal posterior cruciate ligament of the tibia with application announcement number CN 116269708 A, the straight part, the curved part, and the notch part are an integral plate structure. A V-shaped notch is provided on the curved part, and the notch extends forward to insert into the attachment area of ​​the posterior cruciate ligament. However, in this structure, there will be stress concentration at the V-shaped notch, the structure is unstable, and the position cannot be accurately and quickly determined when placing the internal fixation device. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and propose an internal bone plate for avulsion fractures of the proximal posterior cruciate ligament of the tibia, which can reduce stress concentration, form a stable structure, and enable rapid and accurate positioning when placing the internal bone plate.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes the following technical solution:

[0006] An internal bone plate for avulsion fracture of the proximal posterior cruciate ligament of the tibia includes a straight portion and a hook portion. The straight portion is an arc-shaped plate cut from a tubular plate, with an arc angle of less than 90°, and the straight portion is curved to conform to the shape of the posterior wall of the upper end of the tibia. The junction of the straight portion and the hook portion is a rounded transition. The hook portion is integrally formed with the straight portion, and the hook portion is curved inward toward the inner arc surface of the straight portion to conform to the posterior edge of the upper end of the tibia. The hook portion includes two claw portions, the ends of which are pointed, and the junction of the two claw portions is a rounded transition surface with an arc angle of 180~250°. The straight portion is provided with multiple screw holes.

[0007] Preferably, the central axis of each screw hole is on the plane of symmetry of the straight portion.

[0008] Preferably, the central axis of the arc transition surface is on the symmetry plane of the straight portion, and the claw portion is symmetrically arranged with respect to the symmetry plane of the straight portion.

[0009] Preferably, the hook portion and the inner arc surface of the straight portion are provided with an annular rough surface around the arc transition surface on the same side to increase the friction between the hook portion and the fracture site and optimize the positioning effect of the fracture site.

[0010] Preferably, the straight portion is provided with a plurality of waist-shaped screw holes as sliding holes. After the screw is screwed into the bone through the sliding holes, it generates appropriate pressure to promote close contact and healing of the fracture ends.

[0011] Preferably, the waist-shaped screw holes are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the straight symmetrical plane, with two or more rows of waist-shaped screw holes, and screws are staggered at both ends of the waist-shaped screw holes to form a cross-type fixing structure.

[0012] Preferably, three positioning marks are provided on the same side of the hook portion and the outer arc surface of the straight portion, around the arc transition surface. The positioning marks are pen-tip-shaped protrusions, with the tips of the positioning marks pointing towards the center of the arc transition surface, and the extension lines of the axes of the positioning marks passing through the central axis of the arc transition surface. The positioning marks are the first positioning mark, the second positioning mark, and the third positioning mark. The axes of the first positioning mark and the second positioning mark are collinear, and the extension lines of the axes of the first positioning mark and the second positioning mark are perpendicular to the plane of symmetry of the straight portion. The axis of the third positioning mark is on the plane of symmetry of the straight portion. When positioning the fracture plate, positioning can be achieved simply by aligning the center position of the fractured part with the three positioning marks, thus further optimizing the positioning effect.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] This invention features two claws on the hook portion, which allow the bone plate to better fit the fracture site, resulting in better fixation.

[0015] This invention, by setting an arc transition surface at the junction of the two claws, can disperse stress, avoid the risk of stress concentration, and reduce postoperative complications such as infection, bleeding, bone plate loosening or fracture. At the same time, it improves the comfort and structural stability of the internal bone plate, enhances the durability and reliability of the internal bone plate, and makes the bone less prone to displacement during the healing process, thereby helping to accelerate the healing process, reduce postoperative discomfort and pain for patients, help reduce the risk of fracture recurrence, and improve the quality of life for patients.

[0016] The invention, through the design of the two claws and the arc transition surface, helps doctors to accurately place the internal bone plate at the fracture site, facilitating surgical operation and improving surgical efficiency.

[0017] This invention uses a circular arc transition surface with an arc angle of 180-250°. When placing the internal bone plate, the doctor only needs to align the center of the circular arc transition surface with the fracture site to prepare and position the internal bone plate, which improves the doctor's operating efficiency and reduces the operation time.

[0018] By adopting the above solution, this utility model can reduce stress concentration, improve the structural stability and comfort of the internal bone plate, and enable quick and accurate positioning when placing the internal bone plate, thereby improving the durability and reliability of the internal bone plate, helping to accelerate the healing process, reduce postoperative discomfort and pain for patients, reduce the risk of fracture recurrence, and improve the quality of life for patients.
