TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to medical instrument technical field especially relates to a femoral greater trochanter fixator. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the advent of an aging society, femoral intertrochanteric fracture is one of the most common hip fractures, accounting for about 35.7% of hip fractures in China. The prognosis of conservative treatment of this type of fracture is poor, often referred to as "the last fracture of human beings", with a mortality rate of up to 20% one year after injury. This type of fracture has a high failure rate, many complications, low patient satisfaction, and heavy medical burden. Choosing the right internal fixation surgery greatly improves the prognosis of femoral intertrochanteric fracture and speeds up the recovery of patients. Unstable intertrochanteric fracture of the femur is one of the most serious challenges faced by orthopedic surgeons. With in-depth research on this type of fracture, the importance of the lateral wall of the proximal femur is increasingly recognized. Its integrity and effective fixation are closely related to the clinical treatment effect. The complete lateral wall of the proximal femur has the following important effects on the stability of the internal fixation of the femoral intertrochanteric fracture: 1. The complete lateral wall supports the proximal head-neck bone block, allowing the head-neck bone block to slide outward along the sliding axis of the lag screw or head screw, and the head-neck bone block is in close contact with the femoral shaft, which promotes fracture healing; 2. When the bone blocks are tightly embedded and seated, the lateral wall can help resist the rotation and varus tendency of the head-neck bone block; 3. For the proximal femoral head medullary nail, the lateral wall can provide an external point of action for the head screw in the femoral head, reducing the lever stress at the interface between the head screw and the main nail of the intramedullary nail, preventing the screw from moving out and the intramedullary nail from bending and breaking. Therefore, it is necessary to fix and reconstruct the integrity of the lateral wall of the proximal femur to increase the stability of the proximal femoral internal fixation system.
[0003] The cortical entry of the lateral wall of the proximal femur affects the stability of the proximal femoral head medullary nail, although there is no clinical and basic research to confirm this. It is important to note that the coronal plane of the lateral wall entry is still an A2 type fracture as long as it does not involve the anterior wall cortex; if it involves the anterior wall cortex, it becomes an A3 type, with both coronal and sagittal plane swings, which reduces the overall stability and increases the risk of postoperative complications. In closed reduction and head medullary nail internal fixation, the unreduced posterior wall coronal bone block will inevitably affect the overall stability of the nail structure. Currently, some research in clinical practice believes that it needs to be reduced and fixed, such as using minimally invasive ligation methods (steel wire, titanium cable), or open additional plate fixation (small plate, large plate) to fix it. Based on the above understanding, there is an urgent need for a comprehensive implant to provide comprehensive fixation options for femoral proximal lateral wall fractures, whether they involve coronal, sagittal, or horizontal fractures.
