Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of orthopedic rehabilitation treatment technology, and in particular to an adjustable-angle orthopedic external fixation splint. Background Technology

[0002] Adjustable-angle orthopedic splints are medical devices used to immobilize limbs after fractures or joint injuries. They are usually made of lightweight, strong, and durable materials. Their design allows for adjustment of the fixation angle according to the patient's needs, helping to correct the alignment of the fracture site, promote healing, and reduce complications. They are quite common in daily life.

[0003] Existing technologies, such as the utility model patent with publication number CN215307174U, disclose a splint assembly for fixing severed limbs in orthopedic patients. This patent includes a fixation mechanism and an adjustment mechanism. The advantages of this utility model are: the fixation mechanism enables multi-node fixation of the splint assembly, making the whole assembly interconnected, facilitating installation and disassembly, and effectively improving the efficiency of limb fixation; the adjustment mechanism allows for selection of different lengths based on the patient's limb condition, ensuring each fixation node fits the patient's severed limb perfectly, increasing its practicality; since severed limbs often deform, the adjustment mechanism can adjust the fixation angle in some cases to maintain the limb in its initial state, facilitating subsequent correction and surgery; the end sleeve and restraint ring plate reinforce the fixation of the assembly on the residual limb, and can simultaneously fix certain parts of the residual limb; the rotation control block facilitates adjustment of the tightness of the upper fixation of the assembly.

[0004] In daily use, it has been found that for orthopedic diseases, especially fractures and other orthopedic conditions, splints are generally needed to fix the legs in order to prevent the condition from aggravating. However, the existing leg splints are relatively simple, and when the patient's leg joints are raised or rotated, it will be inconvenient to adjust and limit the splint.

[0005] This application provides a technical solution to the technical problem, aiming to provide those skilled in the art with a variety of solutions to the problem. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies. For orthopedic diseases, especially fractures, splints are generally needed to fix the legs to prevent the condition from worsening. However, existing leg splints are relatively simple, and it is inconvenient to adjust and limit the splint when the patient's leg joints are raised or rotated.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an adjustable-angle orthopedic external fixation splint, comprising a first splint, a rotating shaft, and an adjustment mechanism. A second splint is provided at one end of the first splint. The rotating shaft is located at the ends of the first and second splints that are close to each other. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the first splint and fixedly connected to the second splint respectively by means of the adjustment mechanism. The adjustment mechanism includes two fixed plates, one end of each of the two fixed plates being fixedly connected to the surface of the second splint. The two fixed plates are located on both sides of the second splint. The ends of the fixed plates away from the second splint are fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating shaft. Adjustment plates are fixedly connected to both ends of the first splint near the rotating shaft. The ends of the adjustment plates away from the first splint are rotatably connected to the side wall of the rotating shaft. Adjustment frames are fixedly connected to both ends of the rotating shaft. A sliding rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the adjustment frame. One end of the sliding rod is fixedly connected to the surface of the adjustment plate. The arc surface of the sliding rod is threadedly connected to the adjustment shaft.

[0008] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: during leg rehabilitation training, the patient's leg joints will be clamped and protected with the help of orthopedic fixation splints. At this time, the patient's leg joints can be supported by the first splint and the second splint. At the same time, the angle between the first splint and the second splint can be adjusted by the adjustment mechanism, which helps the patient to perform limb rehabilitation operations better.

[0009] Preferably, the arc surface of the slide rod is fitted with a protective ring, and the surface of the protective ring abuts against one side of the adjusting shaft.

[0010] The effect achieved by the above components is that the protective ring can compress and protect the adjusting shaft, preventing it from becoming loose and falling off.

[0011] Preferably, both the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate have a plurality of through holes on their surfaces, and the plurality of through holes are evenly distributed on the surfaces of the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate.

[0012] The effect achieved by the above-mentioned components is that the through holes can effectively increase the airflow during patient use, making it easier to operate and use.

[0013] Preferably, the two rotating shafts are fixedly connected to the same guide post on the side close to each other, and the arc surface of the guide post is fixedly connected with a plurality of protrusions, the protrusions being sponge blocks.

[0014] The effect achieved by the above components is that the sponge material protrusions fixed by the arc surface of the guide post can provide better protection and support.

[0015] Preferably, the surfaces of the first and second clamping plates are provided with a plurality of protective mechanisms. The protective mechanism includes a positioning frame, the bottom end of which is fixedly connected to the side wall of the second clamping plate. A restraining strap is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the positioning frame. A connecting frame is fixedly connected to the end of the second clamping plate away from the positioning frame. A bearing plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the inner wall of the connecting frame. A movable shaft is threadedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting frame. A movable plate is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the movable shaft. The cross-sections of the movable plate and the bearing plate are tapered. The surface of the restraining strap slides through the inner wall of the connecting frame. The restraining strap engages with the lower surface of the movable plate and the upper surface of the bearing plate.

[0016] The effect achieved by the above components is that when binding and limiting the patient's leg joints, the protective mechanism set on the surface of the first and second splints can be used to bind and protect the patient's legs with the binding straps, so as to prevent loosening and falling off when using the first and second splints.

[0017] Preferably, a plurality of protective blocks are fixedly connected to the surface of the restraint strap, and the protective blocks are silicone blocks.

[0018] The effect achieved by the above-mentioned components is that the silicone protective blocks can better compress, protect and fix the limbs, preventing the limbs from slipping and falling off between the surface of the limbs and the restraint straps.

[0019] Preferably, a friction pad, which is a rubber pad, is fixedly connected to the conical tooth surface at the upper end of the bearing plate.

[0020] The effect achieved by the above components is that the friction pad made of rubber can increase friction, making it easier to squeeze and fix the restraint strap.

[0021] In summary, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0022] In this invention, the rotational limit between the first and second splints is achieved by operating the adjustment mechanism, which makes it convenient to place the patient's leg on the first and second splints and adjust the angle. By sliding between the adjustment frames and the slide rod at both ends of the rotating shaft, the adjustment shaft is used to compress and fix the leg, thereby effectively and conveniently supporting and protecting the patient's leg fracture.

[0023] In this invention, by operating the protective mechanism, the first and second splints are used to bind and fix the fracture site of the patient's leg. The binding straps on the surfaces of the first and second splints are used to bind and limit the patient's leg joints, which helps to better protect the patient's leg joints and prevent slippage and fall.
