Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of needle grasping forceps technology, specifically relating to an arthroscopic needle grasping forceps. Background Technology

[0002] Ankle sprains are very common, and one of the consequences is avulsion fracture of the lateral malleolus. Traditional treatment involves open reduction and internal fixation under anesthesia, but this is quite invasive. Minimally invasive arthroscopic reduction and percutaneous internal fixation is less invasive than traditional surgery and has become a new trend in the treatment of this condition. Under minimally invasive ankle arthroscopy, after locating the fracture fragment, a Kirschner wire or guide wire is inserted percutaneously. The Kirschner wire or guide wire penetrates the fracture fragment but does not completely exit it. Then, under arthroscopic guidance, the Kirschner wire or guide wire is pulled to reduce the fracture fragment to the lateral malleolus. After reduction, the Kirschner wire or guide wire is completely exited from the fracture fragment and then inserted back into the lateral malleolus. However, in actual surgery, lacking instruments for endoscopic traction of Kirschner wires or guide wires, we can only clamp the Kirschner wires or guide wires with hemostats or other instruments and pull them simultaneously. However, when the electric drill is used, the Kirschner wires or guide wires often slip out as they rotate, repeatedly causing difficulty in repositioning avulsed fracture fragments, prolonging the operation time, and aggravating ischemia-reperfusion injury of the affected limb.

[0003] Current arthroscopic instruments lack the ability to grasp and pull Kirschner wires or guide wires under arthroscopy. We can only use hemostats or other instruments to clamp the Kirschner wires or guide wires and pull them simultaneously. However, when drilling, the Kirschner wires or guide wires often slip out as they rotate, causing repeated slippage and making it difficult to reduce avulsed fracture fragments, prolonging the operation time, and aggravating ischemia-reperfusion injury of the affected limb. Moreover, they lack positioning function, requiring the surgeon to apply force at one end to ensure the stability of the grasp during the grasp, which is not conducive to the surgeon's operation. Therefore, we propose an arthroscopic needle grasping forceps. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an arthroscopic needle grasping forceps to solve the existing problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an arthroscopic needle grasping forceps, comprising a forceps body, a fixed forceps bar, and a movable forceps bar. A fixed forceps bar is fixedly mounted at one end of the forceps body, and an extension rod is provided at the other end of the forceps body.

The bottom end of the pressure block extends into the interior of the positioning plate and is fixedly connected to the locking block via a connecting rod. A return spring is provided at the bottom of the pressure block.

[0006] Preferably, the end of the extension rod at one end of the clamp body is provided with a groove, and the two sides inside the groove are movably connected to the movable clamp via a movable shaft, and the fixed clamp is fixedly installed on the outer side of the groove.

[0007] Preferably, the extension rod at one end of the clamp body has a through groove inside, and an extension plate is slidably disposed inside the through groove. One end of the extension plate extends into the interior of the movable groove, and the other end of the extension plate extends into the interior of the recess.

[0008] Preferably, a movable seat is provided at one end of the extension plate that extends into the groove, one side of the movable seat is fixedly connected to the outer side of the movable clamp, and the movable seat is movably connected to the extension plate.

[0009] Preferably, the extension plate has a movable plate at one end extending into the movable groove, and both ends of the movable plate are provided with pins.

[0010] Preferably, the movable clamp rod has a protrusion at one end extending into the movable groove, and a connecting plate is provided at the end of the protrusion. The two ends of the movable plate are movably connected to the connecting plate and the extension plate respectively by a pin.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] 1. By setting a snap-fit ​​plate and a positioning plate between the fixed clamp rod and the movable clamp rod, the snap-fit ​​groove on the snap-fit ​​plate, in conjunction with the snap-fit ​​block on the positioning plate, forms a snap-fit ​​state, thereby achieving snap-fit ​​positioning of the fixed clamp rod and the movable clamp rod, ensuring their relative stability, so that the connecting plate and the movable plate cannot move. The movable plate then holds the extension plate, thereby achieving the positioning of the movable clamp, which can maintain the clamping or releasing state. This allows the surgeon to operate without having to apply continuous force, achieving a certain degree of labor saving, and facilitating better operation for the surgeon.

[0013] 2. By designing the movable and fixed clamps as a semi-circular ring structure, they not only have a biting function, but also utilize the cylindrical cavity formed by the two to improve the fit with the Kirschner wire and guide wire surfaces, thereby facilitating better gripping of the Kirschner wire and guide wire and improving operational stability.

The movable forceps bar 3 is movably connected to the movable groove 4 via a rotating shaft 5. The fixed forceps bar 2 and the movable forceps bar 3... A snap-fit ​​plate 17 and a positioning plate 19 are respectively provided on the same end of opposite sides of the moving clamp rod 3. The snap-fit ​​plate 17 and the positioning plate 19 are staggered in height. Several snap-fit ​​grooves 18 are opened at the bottom of the snap-fit ​​plate 17. A snap-fit ​​block 20 is slidably provided at one end of the top of the positioning plate 19. A pressure block 22 is provided at the top of the other end of the positioning plate 19. The bottom end of the pressure block 22 extends into the interior of the positioning plate 19 and is fixedly connected to the snap-fit ​​block 20 through a connecting rod 21. A return spring 23 is provided at the bottom of the pressure block 22.

[0022] Specifically, a groove 16 is provided at the end of the extension rod of the clamp body 1. The two sides inside the groove 16 are movably connected to the movable clamp 13 through the movable shaft 14. The fixed clamp 15 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the groove 16.

Then, completely pass the Kirschner wire or guide wire through the fracture fragment, and then insert the Kirschner wire or guide wire into the tip of the lateral malleolus. Finally, by pressing the pressure block 22, drive the connecting rod 21 to move down, so that it drives the locking block 20 to retract into the positioning plate 19, thereby making the locking block 20 disengage from the locking groove 18. Then, reverse the direction to open the fixed clamp rod 2 and the movable clamp rod 3, so that the fixed clamp 15 and the movable clamp 13 are separated from the Kirschner wire or guide wire. After separation, the grasping clamp can be withdrawn from the body. If screw fixation is required, a hollow screw can be screwed in through the guide wire to fix the fracture fragment.
