[0029] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a biaxial spinal pedicle screw placement guide and locator includes,
[0030] The first dial 10 is arc-shaped, and a guide tube A102 is fixedly connected to one end of it. The guide tube A102 is arranged radially along the first dial 10, and a fixed rod 103 is inserted and fixed inside the guide tube A102.
[0031] The second dial 20 is arc-shaped and has a slider 201 fixedly connected to it in an adjustable position. The slider 201 is provided with a guide tube B202 and a drill bit 203 is inserted into the guide tube B202.
[0032] The second dial 20 has a through hole A204 at its center. The first dial 10 passes through the through hole A204 and is fixed to the second dial 20 in an adjustable position. The first dial 10 and the second dial 20 form a cross shape when viewed from above.
[0033] Furthermore, the first dial 10 has a circular arc protrusion in the middle, and the size of the through hole A204 matches the cross-sectional size of the first dial 10. A positioning block 205 is fixed on the second dial 20, and the through hole A204 passes through the positioning block 205. A screw A2051 connecting the through hole A204 is threaded onto the positioning block 205.
[0034] Furthermore, the slider 201 is provided with a groove 2011 whose shape matches the cross-sectional size of the second dial 20, and the slider 201 is provided with a screw B2012 threadedly connected to the groove 2011.
[0035] Furthermore, a fixing block 101 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the guide tube A102. The fixing block 101 is provided with a threaded through hole B1011. The threaded through hole B1011 is coaxially arranged with the guide tube A102. The fixed rod 103 is provided with an external thread on its body. The fixed rod 103 passes through the threaded through hole B1011 and is threadedly connected to it.
[0036] Furthermore, one end of the fixed rod 103 is shaped like an internal hex bolt head 1031, and the other end is provided with a pointed head 1032.
[0037] Furthermore, when the second dial 20 is moved to fit against the fixed block 101 and the slider 201 is fitted against the fixed block 101, the outward angle formed by the arcuate angle between the fixed rod 103 and the second dial 20 is 0°, and the head or tail tilt angle formed by the angle between the fixed rod 103 and the drill bit 203 is 5°.
[0038] Furthermore, the central angle corresponding to the first dial 10 is 50°~90°, and the central angle corresponding to the second dial 20 is 60°~120°.
[0039] Furthermore, the first dial 10 and the second dial 20 are arc lengths on circles with the same radius, and the radius of the circle ranges from 20 to 40 cm.
[0040] Specifically
[0041] During the surgery, the first dial 10 is oriented along the patient's waistline, while the two ends of the second dial 20 point towards the head and tail. By moving the positioning block 205 and the slider 201, the angle of the drill bit 203 relative to the fixed rod 103 can be adjusted, thereby changing the abduction angle and head (tail) tilt angle of the drill bit 203, allowing it to penetrate the pedicle of the spine at a specific abduction angle and head (tail) tilt angle. The abduction angle is the angle between the drill bit 203 and the fixed rod 103 in the patient's waistline plane, and the head (tail) tilt angle is the angle between the drill bit and the fixed rod in the patient's head and tail plane.
[0042] In this embodiment, the first dial 10 has a central angle of 60° and a radius of 20cm, and the second dial 20 has a central angle of 100° and a radius of 20cm.
[0043] This allows for an abduction angle of 0-60° and a head (tail) tilt angle of 5-45°. To overcome this limitation, the pedicle locator can be rotated 90° so that the first dial points towards the head or tail, and the second dial's arc curves around the patient's waistline. This interchanges the abduction and head (tail) tilt angles, increasing the drill's dual-axis angle range to 0-45° and 5-60°. This expands the drill's working range.
[0044] Based on the different anatomical characteristics of each patient's spinal pedicles, the pedicle screw placement path is planned preoperatively, and individualized screw placement is performed during the operation according to the planned angle and direction, which improves the accuracy of pedicle screw placement and reduces the incidence of complications related to screw misplacement.
[0045] Before the operation, the pedicle screw placement path was planned on the spinal CT, and the abduction angle (a) and head (tail) tilt angle of the pedicle screw placement were measured.
[0046] Figure 5 In the image, Figure A shows a transverse CT scan of the spine (lumbar vertebrae); Figure B shows a sagittal CT scan of the spine (lumbar vertebrae).
[0047] Solid red line: Central axis of the transverse section;
[0048] Blue solid line: horizontal line in the sagittal plane;
[0049] Yellow line: Pedicle screw placement trajectory;
[0050] Red dashed line: parallel to the red solid line, with an angle α between it and the yellow line;
[0051] The dashed blue line is parallel to the solid blue line and forms an angle of b with the yellow line.
[0052] Green dot: Pedicle screw placement point (this point can be seen during the operation after the paraspinal muscles are dissected);
[0053] a: The abduction angle of the pedicle screw placement;
[0054] b: Head (tail) tilt angle of pedicle screw placement.
[0055] The patient is placed in a prone position. The operating table is adjusted to make the surgical area horizontal. During the operation, the paraspinal muscles are dissected to expose the entry point of the pedicle on the surface of the spine. First, the fixed rod 103 is fixed to the entry point on the surface of the pedicle through the guide tube A102 and is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The second scale 20 is kept parallel to the spinous process of the spine. Then, the second scale 20 is slid on the first scale 10 to adjust to the abduction angle α of the pedicle screw placement measured before the operation. The slider 201 is slid on the second scale 20 to the head (tail) tilt angle b of the pedicle screw placement measured before the operation. Finally, the drill bit 203 is drilled through the guide tube B202 to prepare the pedicle screw placement channel. After removing the drill bit 203, the pedicle screw is inserted along the channel.
[0056] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
