TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to knee joint surgical instrument technical field, especially is involved in a marrow external positioning distal end osteotomy module based on 3D printing. BACKGROUND
[0002] Total knee arthroplasty is a treatment method used in the case of knee joint damage, which restores the lower limb alignment through accurate osteotomy, and the restoration of the alignment is the prerequisite for the reconstruction of the knee joint function. The current mature osteotomy scheme in the clinic is intramedullary positioning, which is positioned by inserting an intramedullary positioning rod into the expanded marrow. However, this scheme causes great trauma to the bone marrow cavity, increases the risk of infection, has a small scope of application, and is not suitable for patients with osteoporosis and patients with marrow cavity deformity. In addition, the positioning angle needs to be adjusted repeatedly during the operation, the operation is complex, the operation time is long, and because the osteotomy accuracy depends heavily on the experience of the doctor, individual differences and other factors can lead to low osteotomy accuracy and unsatisfactory osteotomy effect.
[0003] Compared with the traditional intramedullary positioning method, the extramedullary osteotomy positioning can reduce the invasion of the bone marrow cavity, does not require complex equipment, relies on external guides or intraoperative X-ray guidance, and is relatively simple to operate. The osteotomy accuracy is high, and for patients with marrow cavity deformity, extramedullary positioning has more advantages, a wider scope of application, and can reduce postoperative complications by reducing the expansion of the marrow. In addition, the traditional osteotomy module is mostly made of metal, which needs to be sterilized repeatedly, has a risk of cross infection, and has a long processing cycle of metal parts, a complex metal locking structure, and low precision.

[0006] Further, the reinforcing ribs are internally provided with a plurality of hollow triangles.
[0007] Furthermore, the distal osteotomy module body is provided with avoidance recesses on both sides. The design of avoidance recesses on both sides can prevent the debris cut by the oscillating saw from causing harm to the patient.

[0013] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] (1) This utility model adopts extramedullary positioning, which has a wider range of applications and can be used for patients with medullary cavity malformations, avoiding the harm caused to patients by medullary reaming.
[0015] (2) The overall structure of this utility model is integrally formed, and its locking function is achieved by the elastic deformation of the material. When in use, it needs to be combined with the guide positioning plate. The sliding rod on the guide positioning plate has a scale value. After inserting the distal osteotomy module body, precise osteotomy can be achieved. The distal osteotomy module body has a viewing window, which makes it easy for doctors to observe the osteotomy values.
[0016] (3) This utility model uses medical-grade nylon (PA12) material and is integrally formed using 3D printing technology. There are no metal parts, which greatly reduces costs and shortens the production cycle. In terms of adjustment accuracy, the distal osteotomy module body made of medical-grade nylon material has higher accuracy than metal parts, and the accuracy can be controlled within 1mm. Metal parts may pose a risk of metal ion precipitation, while medical-grade nylon material has no cytotoxicity, reducing the risk of infection.
[0017] (4) The bottom of this utility model is provided with a reinforcing rib structure, which can increase the safety of osteotomy and avoid the impact caused by the oscillating saw shaking during osteotomy as much as possible.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 8As shown, this utility model discloses a 3D-printed extramedullary positioning distal osteotomy module, including a distal osteotomy module body 6. The distal osteotomy module body 6 is mounted on a sliding rod 4 of a guide positioning plate 5, and the distal osteotomy module body 6 and the sliding rod 4 are slidably connected. An elastic locking structure 1 is provided on the distal osteotomy module body 6, located on one side of the sliding rod 4. The elastic locking structure 1 includes a pressing end 7 and a clamping end 8. The fixed side of the clamping end 8 is integrally fixed with the distal osteotomy module body 6, and the clamping side of the clamping end 8 is provided with clamping teeth 9. The clamping teeth 9 are connected to the sliding rod 4. The teeth 10 are designed to engage and disengage the clamping teeth 9 and the sliding teeth 10 by pressing the pressing end 7 of the elastic locking structure 1, thereby enabling the elastic locking structure 1 to move and be fixed on the sliding rod 4. The bottom of the distal osteotomy module body 6 is provided with a positioning groove 12, which engages with the end of the guide positioning plate 5. Reinforcing ribs 3 are provided on both sides of the positioning groove 12, and multiple hollow triangles are provided inside the reinforcing ribs 3. The distal osteotomy module body 6 is provided with avoidance recesses on both sides. The design of avoidance recesses on both sides can prevent the debris cut by the oscillating saw from causing harm to the patient.
[0031] The distal osteotomy module is made of medical-grade nylon (PA12) material and is formed into an integrated structure using 3D printing.
[0032] Among them, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the sliding rod 4 is perpendicular to the guide positioning plate 5, and the sliding rod 4 is provided with scale values.
[0033] The distal osteotomy module body 6 is provided with a viewing window 2, and straight grooves 11 are provided on both sides of the viewing window 2.
[0034] The distal osteotomy module body 6 is provided with nail holes 14 and osteotomy grooves 13. The nail holes 14 are located on both sides of the viewing window 2, and the osteotomy grooves 13 are located above the reinforcing ribs 3.
[0035] Work process:
[0036] like Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, in actual use, the guide positioning plate 5 is pressed tightly against the distal end of the femur, and the pressing end 7 of the elastic locking structure 1 is pressed. After pressing, the clamping end 8 (nylon material) of the elastic locking structure 1 undergoes elastic deformation to leave a gap, allowing the distal osteotomy module body 6 to be inserted along the sliding rod 4. When it slides to the fitting position, the clamping teeth 9 on the clamping end 8 of the elastic locking structure 1 can engage with the sliding teeth 10 on the sliding rod 4 to achieve locking. At this time, through the viewing window 2 on the distal osteotomy module body 6, it can be seen that the 0 scale value on the sliding rod 4 is aligned with the straight groove 11 on the viewing window 2. According to the scale value on the sliding rod 4, the distal osteotomy module body 6 is adjusted to slide to the required osteotomy position. Fixing nails are driven into the nail holes 14 on the distal osteotomy module body 6 in sequence, and the osteotomy is completed in the osteotomy groove 13 using a oscillating saw. The reinforcing rib 3 at the bottom of the distal osteotomy module body 6 can increase safety and minimize the impact caused by the oscillating saw shaking during the osteotomy process.
[0037] The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above, but the content described is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model and should not be considered as limiting the scope of implementation of this utility model. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of this utility model should still fall within the scope of this utility model.
