Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical and nursing technology, and in particular to an adjustable brace for fixing dislocation after hip replacement surgery in orthopedics. Background Technology

[0002] Hip dislocation after total hip arthroplasty is a common complication. After manual or surgical reduction, the risk of re-dislocation increases, often requiring immobilization. Traditional immobilization methods include skin traction, T-shaped shoe with skin traction, pelvic fixator with bilateral lower limb fixators, and pelvic fixator with unilateral lower limb fixator.

[0003] The above methods have drawbacks:

[0004] 1. Skin traction: Skin traction alone is not a reliable fixation method and is prone to internal and external rotational instability. If the patient's cooperation is poor, dislocation is very likely to occur again. In addition, the operation is relatively complicated, requires a special frame, and is difficult to implement at home.

[0005] 2. T-shaped shoe + skin traction: superior to skin traction alone, but the fixation is still not reliable enough. If the patient's cooperation is poor, dislocation is still very likely to occur again. Moreover, the operation is relatively complicated, requires a special frame, and is difficult to implement at home.

[0006] 3. Pelvic fixation device + bilateral lower limb fixation device: The pelvis and both lower limbs need to be firmly fixed, which can easily cause bedsores, is not easy to care for, and causes difficulty in urination and defecation.

[0007] 4. Pelvic fixation device + unilateral lower limb fixation device: This requires the pelvis and both lower limbs to be firmly fixed, which can easily cause bedsores, is not easy to care for, and can cause difficulty in urination and defecation.

[0008] Therefore, we have made improvements to this and proposed an adjustable brace for fixing dislocations after orthopedic hip replacement surgery. Utility Model Content

[0009] The adjustable brace for fixing dislocation after orthopedic hip replacement surgery proposed in this utility model solves the problems in the background art.

[0010] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0011] An adjustable brace for fixing dislocation after orthopedic hip replacement surgery includes a hollow connecting tube.

[0034] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] Reference Figure 1 And 3-6, an adjustable brace for fixing dislocation after orthopedic hip replacement surgery, including a hollow connecting tube 1, a telescopic rod 3 detachably connected to the left end of the hollow connecting tube 1, a rod 6 detachably connected to the right end of the hollow connecting tube 1, and an ankle fixation mechanism 5 installed at the ends of the telescopic rod 3 and the rod 6 that are far apart from each other.

[0037] The ankle fixation mechanism 5 includes a connecting side column 506. One end of the connecting side column 506 is fixedly installed on the other end of the telescopic rod 3 or the rod 6. A U-shaped mounting plate 502 is installed on the other end of the connecting side column 506. An annular positioning plate 501 is fixedly installed on the other end of the U-shaped mounting plate 502. The annular positioning plate 501 has a design that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, which is more suitable for the human body structure.

[0038] In this embodiment, the right end of the telescopic rod 3 passes through the left end of the hollow connecting tube 1, and the right end face of the telescopic rod 3 slides and fits against the inner wall of the hollow connecting tube 1 in the horizontal direction. The hollow connecting tube 1 is detachably fixed to the telescopic rod 3 by the set screw 2.

[0039] By loosening the set screw 2, the position of the telescopic rod 3 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the distance between the two ankle fixation mechanisms 5, and thus adjusting the ankle joint distance according to the patient's specific condition.

[0040] A knob is fixedly installed at the upper end of the set screw 2, and a scale line 4 parallel to the horizontal direction is installed at the upper end of the telescopic rod 3.

[0041] By observing the position of the scale line 4 obscured by the right end of the hollow connecting tube 1, the telescopic position of the telescopic rod 3 can be accurately detected, thereby enabling precise adjustment of the distance between the two ankle fixing mechanisms 5.

[0043] By disassembling the first connecting bolt 510, the first connecting plate 505 can be separated from the telescopic rod 3 or the rod 6, thereby completing the disassembly of the ankle fixing mechanism 5. This makes it easier to reduce the storage volume of this utility model and makes it more convenient to carry and maintain.

[0044] A vertically installed mounting screw 503 is fixedly installed on one end of the C-shaped mounting plate 502 away from the annular positioning plate 501. The connecting side column 506 is rotatably mounted on the mounting screw 503 through a bearing. A locking nut 504 is threaded onto the mounting screw 503 and located above the connecting side column 506.

[0045] By setting the connecting side column 506 and the mounting screw 503 to be rotatably connected, the angle of the ankle fixation mechanism 5 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the internal and external rotation position of the patient's ankle joint, which is more applicable. After the adjustment is completed, tightening the locking nut 504 can position the annular positioning plate 501.

[0046] A connecting ring 507 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the C-shaped mounting plate 502 away from the mounting screw 503. A soft strap 508 is fixedly connected to the other end of the annular positioning plate 501. A magic hook sticker 509 is provided on the front end face of the soft strap 508, and a magic textured sticker matching the magic hook sticker 509 is provided on the rear end face of the annular positioning plate 501.

[0047] The front end face of the annular positioning plate 501 is provided with a soft pad.

[0048] Working principle: The patient's two ankles can be placed inside the two annular positioning plates 501, then the soft strap 508 is wrapped around the patient's ankles and passed through the connecting ring 507. Finally, the Velcro hook sticker 509 on the soft strap 508 is attached to the Velcro hook sticker at the rear end of the annular positioning plate 501, thereby fixing the patient's ankles inside the annular positioning plate 501.

[0049] The comfort of using the annular positioning plate 501 can be improved by adding soft padding.
