Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steering bracket technology, specifically to a steering bracket for expanding the functions of a portable X-ray machine. Background Technology

[0002] Portable X-ray machines are easy to operate, small in size, and lightweight, and are mainly used for fluoroscopic examination of the bones of the limbs, hands, and feet. Because of their clear fluoroscopic images and their portability and flexibility, they are very suitable for manual reduction surgery and intraoperative fluoroscopy of the hands and feet.

[0003] However, in actual clinical practice, if a patient's condition is complex, fracture reduction or deformity correction often requires open surgery. Intraoperative fluoroscopy using large fluoroscopic equipment is cumbersome. Using a portable X-ray machine requires medical staff to carry it, and to obtain clear images, the operator must keep the machine stable while avoiding contamination of the surgical area. The machine needs to be suspended in the air, placing extremely high demands on the operator's arm strength and physical stamina. While this is manageable for a few short fluoroscopy sessions, a large number of sessions or long durations significantly increase the workload, inevitably affecting the quality of the examination and increasing the chance of surgical field contamination. Therefore, intraoperative fluoroscopy using a portable X-ray machine is difficult to achieve smoothly using only manual operation.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a support and steering bracket for portable X-ray machines that can be fixed on the operating table. During the operation, the portable X-ray machine is fixed on the bracket, and the bracket is manipulated to position the X-ray machine on the fluoroscopic target, thereby ensuring more effortless and safer imaging examinations during the operation.
