[0026] The technical solutions of the utility model will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 The embodiment relates to an adjustable surgical locator, especially suitable for accurate positioning when making a bone tunnel on a glenoid bone. The locator can be fixed on the glenoid bone through its unique structural design, avoiding rotation or movement during surgery, so as to ensure that the made bone tunnel meets the surgical requirements. The following is a detailed description of the specific implementation of the embodiment.
[0028] Firstly, the adjustable surgical locator of the embodiment mainly includes a glenoid bone fixing assembly and a bone drill guiding assembly. The glenoid bone fixing assembly is used to stably fix the locator on the glenoid bone, while the bone drill guiding assembly is used to guide the bone drill into the glenoid bone to make a bone tunnel.
[0029] The glenoid bone fixation assembly specifically comprises an exchange rod 1 and an exchange channel 2 sleeved on the exchange rod 1. The exchange rod 1 has a threaded area for cooperating with a subsequent fixing nut. A first protruding part is arranged at the bottom of the exchange rod 1, and the shape and size of the first protruding part are designed to match the shape of the glenoid bone, thereby increasing the friction between the exchange rod 1 and the glenoid bone and improving the stability of fixation. Meanwhile, a second protruding part is arranged at the bottom of the exchange channel 2, and the protruding part cooperates with the first protruding part of the exchange rod 1 to clamp the glenoid bone therebetween, thereby further enhancing the effect of fixation.
[0030] In addition, a Kirschner wire channel is also provided on the exchange channel 2. This channel allows the doctor to drive a Kirschner wire into the glenoid bone when needed, so as to further stabilize the positioner. In particular, when the glenoid bone is severely damaged, the clamping between the exchange rod 1 and the exchange channel 2 and the bone may not be able to maintain sufficient fixation, and the use of the Kirschner wire is particularly important at this time.
[0031] Outside the threaded area of the exchange rod 1, a locking device 3 is sleeved. The device adjusts its position by rotating, thereby clamping or loosening the glenoid bone between the exchange rod 1 and the exchange channel 2. When the doctor needs to fix the positioner on the glenoid bone, the doctor only needs to rotate the locking device 3 to move it towards the glenoid bone until the required clamping force is reached.
[0032] Next is the bone drill guide assembly, which mainly comprises a guide tube 6, a guide tube fixing groove 7, a fine adjustment nut 8, an adjuster 4 and an adjuster fixing nut 5. The guide tube 6 is used to guide the bone drill into the glenoid bone, and the top of the guide tube 6 is connected to the glenoid bone fixation assembly through the adjuster 4. The guide tube 6 is sleeved with the guide tube fixing groove 7, and the groove cooperates with the slits on the adjuster 4 through the clamping parts thereon, thereby realizing the fixation and angle adjustment of the guide tube 6 on the adjuster 4.
[0033] The main body of the adjuster 4 is hollow, and two slits are arranged on each of the two opposite faces. These slits not only allow the clamping parts of the guide tube fixing groove 7 to be inserted, but also provide a window for the doctor to observe the scale. Between the two slits on each face, scale lines are arranged, and the scale lines are marked with an accuracy of 2 mm, and the long lines represent integers 10 mm, 20 mm and 30 mm, thereby helping the doctor to accurately adjust the position and angle of the guide tube 6 during the operation.
[0034] Two clamping parts are arranged on the two opposite faces of the guide tube fixing groove 7, and the two clamping parts on each face are respectively clamped into the two slits on the corresponding face of the adjuster 4. This clamping design allows the guide tube fixing groove 7 to be finely adjusted along the slit direction on the adjuster 4 while maintaining a certain stability. In addition, one of the clamping parts on each face is arranged in the shape of an arrow, which is used to indicate the current scale, thereby facilitating the doctor to quickly and accurately read and adjust during the operation.
[0035] The adjuster 4 is movably inserted into the exchange rod 1 near one end, and a adjuster fixing nut 5 is provided. The nut is used to fix the adjuster 4 on the exchange rod 1, preventing it from rotating or moving during the operation. When the doctor needs to adjust the angle or position of the catheter 6, he only needs to loosen the adjuster fixing nut 5, then rotate or move the adjuster 4 to the desired angle or position, and finally tighten the adjuster fixing nut 5 to fix the adjuster 4.
[0036] The fine-tuning nut 8 is inserted transversely from the other end of the adjuster 4, and its head is fixed in the catheter fixing groove 7. The fine-tuning nut 8 is connected with the adjuster 4 through a threaded fit, allowing the doctor to fine-tune the distance between the catheter 6 and the exchange rod 1 during the operation. This fine-tuning function is particularly important for adapting to the differences in bone morphology and thickness of different populations.
[0037] Here is the specific use process of the locator:
[0038] First, the doctor needs to ensure that the exchange rod 1 and the bottom of the exchange channel 2 are flush. Then, the exchange rod 1, the exchange channel 2 and the locking device 3 are placed into the surgical site from the surgical channel. By inserting the exchange channel 2, the doctor can clamp the glenoid bone between the bottom of the exchange rod 1 and the bottom of the exchange channel 2. Next, the doctor needs to adjust the position of the locking device 3 to securely fix the locator on the glenoid bone. If the glenoid bone is severely damaged, the doctor can also use the Kirschner pin channel on the exchange channel 2 to drill a Kirschner pin into the glenoid bone for additional fixation.
[0039] After the fixation of the glenoid bone fixation assembly is completed, the doctor needs to place the combination of the adjuster 4, the adjuster fixing nut 5, the catheter 6, the catheter fixing groove 7 and the fine-tuning nut 8 into the surgical site from the surgical channel. First, loosen the adjuster fixing nut 5 so that the adjuster can be easily fitted outside the exchange rod 1. Then, the doctor can rotate the adjuster 4 to adjust the angle of the locator to the glenoid bone surface as needed. After the adjustment is completed, tighten the adjuster fixing nut 5 to fix the adjuster 4.
[0040] Next, the doctor can rotate the fine-tuning nut 8 according to the actual morphology and thickness of the glenoid bone, etc. By adjusting the position of the fine-tuning nut 8, the doctor can accurately control the distance between the catheter 6 and the exchange rod 1, so that the end of the catheter 6 is located at the position of the glenoid bone that the doctor considers appropriate. Once the position of the catheter 6 is determined, the doctor can extend the bone drill from the catheter, and use the locator to accurately make a bone tunnel on the glenoid bone.
[0041] The adjustable surgical locator of the present embodiment has significant technical advantages. First, through the cooperation of the exchange rod 1 and the exchange channel 2 and the clamping action of the locking device 3, the locator can be firmly fixed on the glenoid bone, avoiding the risk of rotation or movement during the operation. Second, the design of the adjuster 4 and the fine adjustment nut 8 enables the doctor to accurately adjust the position and angle of the catheter 6 according to the needs of the operation, thereby ensuring that the bone tunnel made meets the requirements of the operation. In addition, the locator also has the ability to adapt to the differences in bone morphology and thickness of different populations, improving the flexibility and accuracy of the operation.
[0042] In specific embodiments, the first protruding part of the exchange rod 1 and the protruding part of the exchange channel 2 can adopt different shapes and sizes to adapt to the glenoid bone morphology of different patients. At the same time, the number and position of the Kirschner wire channels can also be adjusted according to actual conditions to meet different surgical needs. In addition, the material and diameter of the catheter 6 can also be selected according to the needs of the operation to ensure that the bone drill can smoothly enter and make a bone tunnel that meets the requirements.
[0043] During the operation, the doctor can adjust the position and angle of the locator by rotating the adjuster fixing nut 5 and the fine adjustment nut 8. Since the adjuster 4 is provided with scale lines, the doctor can accurately read and adjust the position and angle of the catheter 6. This accuracy is crucial for ensuring the accuracy and stability of the bone tunnel.
[0044] In addition, the adjustable surgical locator of the present embodiment also has the advantages of easy use and cleaning. Its structure design is simple and clear, and the doctor can easily assemble and use the locator. At the same time, since the locator is mainly made of corrosion-resistant materials such as metal and plastic, it is easy to clean and disinfect, meeting the hygiene requirements of medical equipment.
[0045] In summary, the adjustable surgical locator of the present embodiment provides a stable, accurate and flexible solution for making bone tunnels on the glenoid bone through its unique structural design and precise adjustment function. The locator not only improves the accuracy and safety of the operation, but also reduces the risk of operation and the incidence of complications. Therefore, the present embodiment has wide application prospects and market value in the field of orthopedic surgery.
[0046] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
