[0002] A fracture support bracket is a medical device used in the treatment and rehabilitation of fractures. It typically consists of a support body, fixation device, adjustment mechanism, cushioning and padding, and additional functional components. Its main functions include fixing the fracture site, reducing pain, and promoting rehabilitation.
[0003] A lower limb fracture brace for wheelchairs, disclosed in publication number CN212490465U, includes a left upright and a right upright. A detachable protective cover is provided on the side wall of either the left or right upright, and one side of the protective cover can rotate around the left or right upright. The two ends of the protective cover are detachably connected to the left and right uprights, respectively. This invention has the advantage of preventing secondary injury to the leg of a fracture patient from impact.
[0004] However, this fracture support structure has the following disadvantages:

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a fracture support structure, including a fixation splint 1, a fixation seat fixedly connected to one side of the surface of the fixation splint 1, an adjustment belt 2 fixedly connected to the middle of the fixation seat, and a fixation block 3 fixedly connected to one end of the adjustment belt 2. The adjustment belt 2 is made of high-quality polyester fiber material, possessing good wear resistance and strength. Its surface holes are made using advanced laser drilling technology, resulting in uniform hole diameters and smooth edges, effectively avoiding the skin irritation caused by burrs that may occur with traditional drilling methods. The connecting belt 9 uses multi-layer woven elastic fiber material with an appropriate amount of spandex added, ensuring sufficient strength while possessing excellent elasticity and stretchability. A hinge 4 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the inner wall of the fixation splint 1, and a foot pedal 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the hinge 4. Through the hinge 4 and foot pedal 5, the foot pedal 5 is connected to the fixation splint 1 via a high-precision hinge 4. The hinge 4 is made of high-quality metal material, such as stainless steel, and undergoes precise processing to ensure smooth rotation without jamming. Its internal bearing structure design can withstand greater pressure and friction, ensuring that the foot pedal 5 remains stable and reliable during frequent angle adjustments. A cotton pad 6 is fixedly connected to the inside of the foot pedal 5. The material of the cotton pad 6 is cotton.
[0027] An elastic band 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the foot pedal 5, and a foot strap 8 is fixedly connected to the middle of the cotton pad 6. The elastic band 7, made of highly elastic rubber, has excellent elasticity and resilience. When the patient's foot is placed on the foot pedal 5, the elastic band 7 automatically adjusts its tension according to the shape and movement of the foot, assisting in fixing the foot from above and preventing unnecessary vertical displacement. Especially when the patient is sleeping or resting, it provides a continuous and stable, gentle restraint, enhancing the overall fixation effect. The foot strap 8, made of high-strength, soft, and breathable nylon material with anti-slip silicone particles on the surface, not only closely conforms to the contours of the foot but also prevents slippage during application.
[0028] A connecting strap 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixation splint 1, and a front splint 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting strap 9. The connecting strap 9 is made of multi-layered woven elastic fiber material, containing a certain proportion of spandex fibers, giving it both good strength and the ability to flexibly expand and contract according to limb swelling or muscle contraction and relaxation. Both ends of the connecting strap 9 are firmly connected to the fixation splint 1 and the front splint 10 with high-strength sutures, ensuring that it will not break or loosen during use. This design allows the front and rear splints to better adapt to changes in limb shape, maintaining effective fixation of the fracture site and reducing the risk of complications due to improper fixation. The front splint 10 features an ergonomic arc design and is covered with a soft cushioning material, such as polyurethane foam. The front splint 10 fits closely to the front of the limb, forming a circumferential fixation structure with the fixation splint 1, providing precise support and fixation for fractures in different locations.
[0029] A protective plate 11 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the front splint 10. The protective plate 11 is made of plastic. The protective plate 11 is made of high-strength engineering plastic, such as ABS plastic, which has good wear resistance, impact resistance, and insulation. The protective plate 11 can effectively block external objects from impacting and rubbing against the fracture site, preventing further injury to the fracture site due to accidental collisions in daily life.
[0030] A sweat-absorbing layer 12 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the fixing splint 1, and a breathable layer 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the sweat-absorbing layer 12. The sweat-absorbing layer 12, made of highly absorbent non-woven fabric containing bamboo charcoal fiber, can quickly absorb sweat from the skin's surface, keeping the skin dry. Bamboo charcoal fiber also has antibacterial properties, reducing bacterial growth and preventing skin infections. The breathable layer 13, made of porous polyester fiber, has excellent breathability, allowing air to circulate freely within the fixing splint 1, accelerating sweat evaporation and further improving wearing comfort.
[0031] The surface of the adjusting band 2 has holes for fixed connection, and a buckle 14 is engaged in the middle of one side of the fixing block 3. The buckle 14 is made of high-strength engineering plastic with a reasonable internal structure design, providing excellent engagement stability. The surface of the buckle 14 has an anti-slip texture, facilitating patient operation and enabling quick and accurate fixing of the adjusting band 2 to the required length, ensuring reliable and stable fixation.
[0032] In this invention, the working steps of the device are as follows:
[0033] First step: The patient first places the injured limb on the fixation splint 1 and foot pedal 5, so that the cotton pad 6 is in full contact with the skin. Then, the foot strap 8 is wrapped around the foot and adjusted to the appropriate tightness with Velcro to initially fix the foot position. At the same time, it is ensured that the elastic band 7 is naturally stretched and covers the top of the foot to play an auxiliary fixation role.
[0034] The second step: Based on the swelling of the limb and individual comfort, pass the adjusting strap 2 through the fixing block 3 and insert the buckle 14 into the appropriate hole. Finely adjust the tightness of the fixing splint 1 to ensure it fits the limb snugly. Simultaneously, observe the state of the connecting strap 9 to ensure it extends and retracts freely without affecting blood circulation. For fractures involving joints, the hinge 4 can be used to adjust the angle of the foot pedal 5 appropriately to meet the initial fixation requirements of the joint.
[0035] Step 3: During fracture rehabilitation, regularly check the condition of the sweat-absorbing layer 12 and the breathable layer 13. If sweat accumulates, replace or clean them promptly to keep the skin dry and comfortable. Based on the doctor's advice and rehabilitation progress, repeat the adjustment procedures in Step 2, adjusting the tightness of the fixation splint 1 and the angle of the footplate 5 as needed to accommodate changes such as the reduction of limb swelling, muscle recovery, and increased joint mobility, thus promoting fracture healing and limb function recovery.
