[0019] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0020] Reference Figure 1-4This utility model embodiment of the artificial ligament trimmer includes: a cylinder 1, a traction channel 3 provided at the left end of the cylinder 1, the upper, lower and left ends of the traction channel 3 all passing through the cylinder 1, a T-shaped handle 8 fixedly connected to the right end of the cylinder 1, the T-shaped handle 8 improving the convenience of picking up the cylinder 1, pressure plates 5 fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the side surface of the cylinder 1, the pressure plates 5 are made of elastic material, and the edges of the pressure plates 5 are provided with serrations, the pressure plates 5 use the stress of elastic deformation to clamp and fix the ligament, a push rod 9 is provided inside the cylinder 1, the left end of the push rod 9 and the inner wall of the traction channel 3 are respectively fixedly connected to a Y-shaped blade 10 and an annular blade 4, there are two annular blades 4, the two annular blades 4 are distributed vertically opposite each other, the Y-shaped blade 10 is composed of two blades, and the left end of the Y-shaped blade 10 is an arc structure, the Y-shaped blade 10 and the annular blade 4 cooperate to cut the ligament by the vertically staggered blades.

[0021] Specifically, the pulled ligament is passed through the traction channel 3, at which point the ligament is bent at 90° as it passes through the traction channel 3. Then, holding the T-shaped handle 8, the cylinder 1 is pushed into the channel until the left end of the cylinder 1 contacts the bone. Then, the ligament is pulled to the side of the cylinder 1. When the ligament is pulled to the pressure plate 5, the pressure plate 5 is manually bent. Then, the pressure plate 5 is placed between the pressure plate 5 and the cylinder 1. The pressure plate 5 is used to clamp and fix the ligament, keeping it in a straight state. The ligament passing through the traction channel 3 contacts the annular blade 4 and the Y-shaped blade 10. The arc-shaped structure at the left end of the Y-shaped blade 10 allows the blade edge to better fit the ligament.

[0022] A spring 12 is fixedly connected between the push rod 9 and the right inner wall of the cylinder 1. The spring 12 is used to provide the conditions for the push rod 9 to automatically reset. The right end of the push rod 9 passes through the spring 12 and penetrates the right surface of the cylinder 1. A button 7 is provided at the right end of the push rod 9. The left end of the button 7 penetrates into the interior of the cylinder 1. A fixing pin 6 is provided on the surface of the button 7. The lower end of the fixing pin 6 penetrates the button 7 and the left end of the push rod 9. The fixing pin 6 is used to increase the stability of the push rod 9 when it is not in use. A strip-shaped opening 11 is provided on the surface of the push rod 9. A limit pin 2 is provided on the front surface of the cylinder 1. The limit pin 2 penetrates into the interior of the cylinder 1 and passes through the strip-shaped opening 11. The limit pin 2 is used to limit the stability of the push rod 9 during the left and right sliding process.

[0023] Specifically, after fixing the ligament with the pressure plate 5, the fixing pin 6 is pulled out, and then the button 7 is pressed manually. The button 7 is pressed into the inside of the cylinder 1, and the push rod 9 integrated with the button 7 is driven to slide to the left. During the leftward sliding of the push rod 9, the Y-shaped blade 10 contacts the surface of the ligament, applying a leftward pushing force to the ligament, so that the Y-shaped blade 10 ruptures the ligament, and at the same time pushes the ligament towards the annular blade 4. At this time, both the front and rear sides of the ligament are cut by the blade. During the sliding of the push rod 9, the spring 12 is stretched. After the external force applied to the push rod 9 is released, the spring 12 automatically contracts under stress, driving the push rod 9 to slide to the right.

[0024] Working principle: In clinical use, excess artificial ligaments need to be pulled out through traction channel 3. Then, the pulled-out ligaments are clamped by the left or right pressure plate 5. Then, the fixation pin 6 is released from the restriction of button 7, and a pushing force is applied to button 7. This applies the force to cut the ligament to the Y-shaped blade 10 and the ring blade 4, achieving the effect of clamping and fixing the ligaments before cutting. The arc-shaped structure and compact structure of cylinder 1 allow cylinder 1 to be easily inserted into the designated position. At the same time, the arc-shaped structure allows the left end of cylinder 1 to better fit the bone surface and reduce tissue damage.

However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
