Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of joint prosthesis technology, and particularly relates to an anatomically curved ankle joint prosthesis. Background Technology

[0002] The ankle joint is formed by the articular surfaces of the lower ends of the tibia and fibula and the trochlea of ​​the talus. It is also known as the talus-lower leg joint. When the ankle joint is damaged, it is usually necessary to replace it with an ankle joint prosthesis to compensate for the loss of some limb functions in the injured person.

[0003] Currently, ankle prostheses enable disabled individuals to regain some self-care and work abilities. However, traditional curved ankle prostheses require lateral approach for installation, which necessitates breaking the fibula, resulting in significant trauma and a long operation time. To address these issues, an anatomical curved ankle prosthesis that can be installed via an anterior approach, without breaking the fibula and causing minimal trauma, is needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that traditional arc-shaped ankle joint prostheses require lateral approach for installation, which involves breaking the fibula and causing significant trauma, and to propose an anatomical arc-shaped ankle joint prosthesis.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an anatomical arc-shaped ankle joint prosthesis, comprising a first prosthesis plate, a first coating plate disposed on the bottom surface of the first prosthesis plate, a fixing plate disposed on the top surface of the first prosthesis plate, a second prosthesis plate disposed on the top surface of the fixing plate, and a second coating plate disposed on the top of the second prosthesis plate.

[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0007] The first coating plate has a first five-star pillar on its bottom surface, and the second coating plate has a second five-star pillar on its bottom surface.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] One end of the first coating plate is installed in the same direction as one end of the first five-star pillar, and one end of the second five-star pillar is installed in the same direction as one end of the second coating plate.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] The first five-star pillar has a first five-star hole, and the second five-star pillar has a second five-star hole.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] The width of one end of the first coating plate and the first prosthetic plate is longer than the width of the other end, and the width of one end of the fixing plate and the second prosthetic plate is longer than the width of the other end.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] The width of one end of the second coating plate is longer than the width of the other end of the second coating plate.

[0016] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. In this utility model, by setting a first five-star pillar and a second five-star pillar, during installation, since one end of the first coating plate is installed in the same direction as one end of the first five-star pillar, and one end of the second five-star pillar is installed in the same direction as one end of the second coating plate, installation can be performed from the front. At the same time, by changing the front-back width of the ankle joint prosthesis during installation, the bone contact area is increased, the pressure is dispersed, and the bone healing area is larger, making it more robust after long-term use. Through this design, compared with the traditional arc-shaped ankle joint prosthesis, the installation direction of the first and second five-star pillars is changed, so that the arc-shaped ankle joint prosthesis can be installed from the front, avoiding the need to break the fibula in traditional surgery, reducing surgical trauma, promoting postoperative recovery, changing the front-back width of the ankle joint prosthesis to better conform to the physiological anatomy of the human body, increasing the contact area between the bone and the prosthesis, dispersing the pressure on the prosthesis surface, and reducing prosthesis collapse caused by force concentration.

[0018] 2. In this utility model, by providing a first five-star hole and a second five-star hole, after installation, the addition of the first five-star hole and the second five-star hole promotes bone ingrowth into the hole, so that the prosthesis and bone become one, and it will be more robust after long-term use. Through this design, the added first five-star hole and second five-star hole can promote bone tissue ingrowth into the hole, so that the prosthesis and ankle joint bones become one, thereby increasing the long-term stability of the prosthesis.
