Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the medical instrument technical field, especially relates to the patient reference frame field in the operation navigation field, concretely is a patient reference frame for spinal operation. BACKGROUND

[0002] The operation navigation system needs to set a patient reference frame with NDI small balls fixed on the patient and an operating instrument reference frame fixed on the operating instrument when running, to ensure the tracking of the patient's body position change and the tracking of the operating instrument position change, to ensure the tracking effect.

[0003] Especially for the reference frame fixed on the patient, the reference frame setting should not interfere with the operation, and the reference frame should also be tracked by the navigation system.

[0004] For ordinary operations such as long bone operations, the patient reference frame only needs to be fixed in an area that can move with the operation position to achieve tracking, because the setting space range is large, the patient reference frame usually includes a vertical operating area rod, and the NDI small ball setting part is set to the reference frame rod body away from the human body, such as CN220967417U-a human reference frame fixing instrument and CN221411348U-a two-direction rotating adjustable reference frame.

[0005] For spinal operations, the patient reference frame is usually fixed to the spinous process position near the vertebral body because the operation area space is small, but because the position is only, using the traditional patient reference frame, the NDI small ball will interfere with the operation because it is set near the operation area.

[0006] The utility model provides a patient reference frame for spinal operation aiming at the above technical problems. SUMMARY

[0029] Through the above-mentioned scheme, the identified structure setting structure 1 can be led out to a suitable area of non-surgical operation through the setting of the extension rod 2 and the angle adjusting structure. The extension rod 2 serves to lead the identified structure setting structure 1 out to a central area position away from the connecting part, and the cooperation of the angle adjusting structure and the extension rod 2 realizes the setting of the identified structure setting structure 1 in the best area that does not interfere with the surgical operation.

[0030] More preferably, the angle adjusting structure is arranged perpendicularly to the extension rod 2, or the extension rod 2 extends obliquely away from the connecting part; such arrangement can avoid the extension rod 2 from being close to the patient, making the operation more convenient. The connecting part is a part directly connected with the spine, and can refer to the prior art CN221786673U-a tracer mounting and connecting device for spinal surgery navigation, which is a structure clamped to the position of the patient's spinous process. This embodiment does not show this structure.

[0031] The identified structure setting structure 1 is provided with NDI balls recognized by the navigation system, and can also be other structures that can be tracked by the navigation system, such as the identified structure with color partition in the color recognition instrument in the holographic navigation system in the patent CN218391267U-a holographic navigation system; the following uses the commonly used NDI ball in the field of surgical navigation as the identified structure for description.

[0032] More preferably, the overall length of the extension rod 2 is longer than the angle adjustment portion, which is to reduce the weight of the reference frame and to lower the overall center of gravity, and the identified structure setting structure 1 is more stable and avoids tracking inaccuracies caused by shaking.

[0033] More preferably, the identified structure setting structure 1 is a hollow irregular polygon structure, preferably a quadrilateral structure, which is an irregular quadrilateral structure without a symmetry axis, and the NDI balls are arranged at the vertexes of the quadrilateral structure.

[0034] Alternatively, another embodiment is that the identified structure setting structure 1 comprises a hollow irregular polygon structure, and an extension portion 11 is arranged at each vertex of the irregular polygon structure, and the NDI balls are arranged at the edges of each extension portion 11, preferably a quadrilateral structure, and the extension portion 11 is arranged at each vertex of the quadrilateral structure. In this way, the frame of the quadrilateral structure can maintain the stability of the entire identified structure setting structure 1, and the extension portion 11 increases the distance between the NDI balls, ensuring the effectiveness of tracking and achieving the effect of extending outward from the surgical area, further avoiding interference with surgical operations. More preferably, the extension rod 2 is integrally connected with one extension portion 11, and the central axes of the two are consistent. In this way, the length of the extension rod 2 and the extension portion 11 can be lengthened, and the NDI balls can be arranged at a position farther away from the center of the connection portion without increasing the overall weight.

[0035] More preferably, a protruding structure 321 perpendicular to the overall angle adjustment structure is arranged on the angle adjustment structure, and the protruding structure 321 is combined with the extension rod 2 through the screw structure 4. In this way, the angle adjustment structure and the connection portion can be arranged first, and then the extension rod 2 and the identified structure setting structure 1 can be arranged integrally, which can be operated in two steps to avoid difficulties in arranging the angle adjustment structure of the extension rod 2 and the identified structure setting structure 1 due to unstable center of gravity.

The connecting rod 31 is provided with a threaded pipe, and the threaded rod 331 is matched with the threaded pipe, and the connecting rod 31 extends into the pipe-shaped structure 32. When the locking rod 311 starts to enter the arc-shaped locking opening 322, the threaded rod 331 is rotated by rotating the rotation knob 332, which gradually causes the connecting rod 31 to enter the pipe-shaped structure 32, so that the locking rod 311 and the arc-shaped locking opening 322 are in close contact to lock the angle. Reverse rotation causes the locking rod 311 and the arc-shaped locking opening 322 to separate, so that the connecting rod 31 and the pipe-shaped structure 32 rotate relative to each other, and the angle is adjusted.

[0040] In use, the connecting part is first clamped or fixed to the position of the spinous process, then the connecting rod 31 is arranged on the connecting part, then the pipe-shaped structure 32 of the angle adjustment structure is arranged on the connecting part, then the rotation adjustment structure is inserted, the locking rod 311 on the connecting rod 31 is controlled to enter the arc-shaped locking opening 322, the rotation knob 332 is rotated to lock the positional relationship between the connecting rod 31 and the pipe-shaped structure 32, and then the extension rod 2 and the protruding structure 321 are combined and fixed. When the angle of the identified structure setting structure 1 blocks the surgical operation, the locking rod 311 and the arc-shaped locking opening 322 are unlocked for rotation adjustment, and the position is locked after the appropriate position is adjusted.
