Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a guide for implanting screws in a minimally invasive three-dimensional frame fixation device for calcaneal fractures. Background Technology

[0002] Although the lateral extended "L" shaped incision has long been considered the gold standard for treating intra-articular calcaneal fractures, the incidence of incision edge necrosis, nonunion, and soft tissue infection is as high as 12.5%, and the incidence of osteomyelitis is 1%. In recent years, the minimally invasive treatment of displaced calcaneal fractures using the sinus incision has gradually shown its superiority and has been recognized by more and more orthopedic surgeons. The reported rates of incision necrosis and infection are extremely low, and the operation time does not need to wait for the appearance of skin folds, greatly shortening the hospital stay.

[0003] While plate fixation via the sinus tarsal incision also involves extensive subcutaneous dissection along the lateral wall of the calcaneus, the small incision can lead to incomplete reduction and inaccurate plate placement, which in turn prevents patients from walking on their own quickly and significantly prolongs their recovery time.
