Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The embodiment of the utility model relates to the orthopedic medical instrument technical field, especially relates to a bone cutting positioning instrument. BACKGROUND

[0002] In knee joint replacement surgery, the existing bone cutting measurement positioning appliances generally have the following problems:

[0003] 1. The control problem of cartilage wear and bone cutting amount: due to the wear of femoral condyle cartilage, the change of cartilage thickness can be ignored by using the traditional measurement method, thereby causing unnecessary excessive bone cutting.

[0004] 2. The positioning error problem of asymmetric cartilage wear: when the wear degree of the medial and lateral condyle cartilage is different, the standard external rotation positioning method can cause positioning error, affect the accuracy of the operation, and further can cause postoperative knee instability or function limitation.

[0005] 3. The limitation problem of fixed external rotation positioning angle: the commonly used external rotation positioning measurement system adopts a fixed reference angle (such as 3°, 5°, 7°), and this design cannot adapt to the anatomical differences of different patients, and limits the individualized adjustment of the operation.

[0006] 4. The frequent infection complication problem: although some adjustable external rotation positioners solve the problem of fixed angle, the angle module is repeatedly disassembled, cleaned and disinfected, which can cause infection or increase the operation error caused by damage.

[0041] a fixing assembly provided at the bottom of the back plate 1 in a direction perpendicular to the back plate 1, and the cartilage gasket 3 is detachably fixed to the bottom of the back plate 1 through the fixing assembly.

[0042] The bone cutting positioning device provided in the embodiment is mainly used for guiding bone cutting in knee joint surgery, and the bone cutting precision is improved to ensure the recovery of the medial condyle shape of the femur and the function of the medial collateral ligament. The bone cutting positioning device in the embodiment only includes a back plate 1, a connecting assembly, an angle block 4, a cartilage gasket 3 and a fixing assembly, has a simple overall structure, each structural part is easy to manufacture and can be repeatedly used without being easily damaged.

[0043] Further, in the embodiment, the angle block 4 and the assembly mode thereof and the cartilage gasket 3 and the assembly mode thereof are improved to significantly improve the use convenience of the bone cutting positioning device when it is operated, so that the medical personnel can optimize the surgical procedure, thereby improving the surgical efficiency, reducing the surgical operation error and improving the precision.

[0044] Continue to combine Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the back plate 1 includes a vertical part and a horizontal part matched to form a “king” shape, the vertical part is arranged along the center line of the back plate 1, the horizontal part includes a first part, a second part and a third part, the first part and the third part are located on both sides of the second part, and the vertical part and the horizontal part are integrally formed. In the embodiment, the back plate 1 is arranged in the shape of a king, which is consistent with the anatomical shape of the distal end of the femur in the flexion position after the first bone cutting of the distal end of the femur in the TKA surgery is completed, and facilitates the assembly of the angle block 4. The connecting assembly and the mounting position 2 are located on the second part, and the fixing assembly is located on the third part.

[0045] Specifically, in the embodiment, opposite sides of the angle block 4 are both application sides, that is, both opposite sides of the angle block 4 can be applied. The meanings represented by opposite sides of the angle block 4 are different, which are used to distinguish the bone cutting positioning of the left / right femur.

[0046] In the embodiment, the angle block 4 is a disposable angle block 4, that is, the angle block 4 is a disposable device and supports personalized configuration, so that the medical inventory cost can be saved, the storage demand for the angle block 4 is reduced, the utilization efficiency of medical resources is improved, and more efficient and economical medical services are provided for patients. In addition, the angle block 4 in the embodiment can be made of ABS or medical nylon, but is not limited to this, such as angle positioning of a four-in-one bone cutting plate, so that the bone cutting operation is more accurate and stable. When applied, the two sides of the angle block 4 can be marked, such as L (left) and R (right), which are used to distinguish the medial posterior condyle bone cutting position of the left / right femur, and the angle block 4 can be prepared by 3D printing or injection molding.

[0047] Further, the angle block 4 is provided with a positioning hole 5 penetrating through the angle block 4, and the positioning hole 5 on the medial side of the angle block 4 is used as a reference, and the positioning holes 5 on the two angle blocks 4 have an angle difference, which is used to indicate the internal-external rotation angle of the femur, and the angle difference ranges from 0° to 10°, and the minimum unit includes 0.2°, and the specific angle can be customized before the operation. Different specifications of the angle block 4 are also based on the medial positioning hole 5, and the corresponding angle is determined based on the lateral positioning hole 5, and then the actual required angle (internal-external rotation angle) is matched. In the embodiment, the femoral medial side is used as the shaft center to realize the angle change, which can ensure the accurate value of the posterior medial condyle osteotomy of the femur.

[0048] During the operation, the medical staff can replace the front and back surfaces of the angle block 4 as needed, and the form of replacing the front and back surfaces can be realized on the same positioning device, thereby realizing the positioning and adjustment of the left and right sides of the femur. Thus, it is not only convenient to operate, but also can effectively reduce the medical cost.

[0049] Continue to combine Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the second part is provided with a mounting hole for forming the mounting position 2 on both sides of the center line of the back plate 1, and the two mounting holes are positionally symmetrical, and the two mounting holes are matched with the outer shape of the corresponding angle block 4, so that at least part of the angle block 4 can be embedded in the hole. In the embodiment, the two angle blocks 4 are connected by a connecting piece 6, and the connecting assembly is limitingly connected with the connecting piece 6, thereby detachably mounting the angle block 4 on the mounting position 2.

[0050] Specifically, the connecting assembly includes a first connecting block 7 and a second connecting block 8 arranged on one side of the back plate 1 provided with the angle block 4 and located inside the connecting piece 6. The first connecting block 7 and the second connecting block 8 are both provided with a positioning rod, and the two positioning rods can be rotated close to each other to extend the corresponding connecting block, and clamp and fix the angle block 4. At this time, the angle block 4 is firmly mounted on the back plate 1, and when the medical staff rotates the positioning rods to move away from each other, the connecting piece 6 can be released, and at this time the medical staff can take the angle block 4 from the back plate 1.

[0051] The two ends of the third part extend outward along a direction perpendicular to the back plate 1 to form an extension. The extension and the fixing assembly are located on the first side of the back plate 1, and the connecting assembly is arranged on the second side of the back plate 1. The fixing assembly comprises two supporting plates 9 which are vertically connected to the two ends of the third part, and the supporting plates 9 are connected to the corresponding extensions. The two extensions are provided with mounting grooves 10 which penetrate through the second side of the back plate 1, and the soft cartilage pad 3 can be connected to the fixing assembly from the medial and lateral sides of the femur. When the soft cartilage pad 3 is assembled, one end of the soft cartilage pad 3 is embedded in the mounting groove 10, and the other end is arranged on the corresponding supporting plate 9.

[0052] Continuously combining Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the drawings, the soft cartilage pad 3 comprises a pad body arranged on the supporting plate 9 and a connecting end connected to one end of the pad body, and the connecting end is matched with the mounting groove 10. The pad bodies of different soft cartilage pads 3 are different in size. Specifically, the pad bodies of different soft cartilage pads 3 in the embodiment are different in thickness. During the operation, medical personnel can select the soft cartilage pad 3 with a suitable thickness according to the actual situation to achieve cartilage compensation, thereby solving the problem of inaccurate osteotomy caused by cartilage wear. That is, the size of the soft cartilage pad 3 can be adjusted to compensate for the wear of the posterior condyle cartilage of the femur, thereby significantly improving the accuracy of the posterior condyle osteotomy of the femur and accurately restoring the original state of the posterior medial condyle joint surface of the femur.

[0053] In actual operation, the appropriate osteotomy angle is determined through preoperative planning, and the matching assembly of the femur positioning adjusting device is completed. After the distal end of the femur is cut, the knee joint is in a flexion position. At this time, the back plate 1 of the osteotomy positioning device is tightly attached to the femur osteotomy surface, and the fixing assembly is tightly attached to the posterior condyle of the femur. According to the degree of cartilage defect of the posterior condyle of the femur, the soft cartilage pad 3 with a suitable thickness is selected and arranged on the fixing assembly. If the selected soft cartilage pad 3 does not completely compensate for the cartilage, it can be taken out of the mounting groove 10, and other soft cartilage pads 3 with appropriate specifications are selected and assembled. After the cartilage compensation is completed, the internal and external rotation angles matched by the angle block 4 are determined again according to the actual situation, and the positioning nail is guided and positioned by passing through the positioning hole 5. The positioning nail is driven into the correct position of the femoral condyle joint surface. Finally, the four-in-one osteotomy plate is placed according to the position of the positioning nail, the osteotomy thickness is confirmed, and the osteotomy operation is performed.

[0054] The above embodiments are only exemplary embodiments of the present application and are not used to limit the present application. The protection scope of the present application is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or equivalent replacements to the present application within the spirit and protection scope of the present application, and such modifications or equivalent replacements should also be considered to fall within the protection scope of the present application.
