Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and more specifically, to a T-shaped shoe for bone traction. Background Technology
[0002] Skeletal traction is a medical technique used to treat fractures or correct skeletal deformities. It is achieved by inserting pins or screws into the bone and attaching them to an external traction device. Calcaneal traction is commonly used to treat fractures involving the foot, ankle, or other conditions. By applying external force to the calcaneus (the bone at the back of the heel), it helps to reposition and stabilize the bone, promoting fracture healing.
[0003] During skeletal traction, patients need to rest in bed for extended periods. However, during traction, the patient's foot and leg are particularly prone to misalignment, failing to achieve the required abduction and neutral position, thus affecting the traction effect. Currently, T-shaped shoes are commonly used as orthopedic medical aids to maintain the patient's affected limb in an abduction and neutral position, preventing complications such as foot drop, internal rotation, and external rotation.
[0004] However, conventional T-shaped shoes are inconvenient to put on and take off, and during calcaneal traction, they interfere with the use of traction needles. The patient's heel is repeatedly rubbed and pressed against the T-shaped shoe, which can easily lead to pressure sores and affect the patient's recovery. Furthermore, current T-shaped shoes are fixed in position and cannot be adjusted in height according to different patients or different situations, resulting in poor effectiveness.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a T-shaped shoe for skeletal traction to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a T-shaped shoe for bone traction to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] T-shaped shoes for skeletal traction include:
[0009] A limiting plate having an insole and two side panels, the insole being located between the two side panels;
[0010] The back panel has two ends connected to the two side panels respectively. The back panel and the side panels have a common hollow opening. The side panels are provided with a first Velcro strap connected to the back panel.
[0011] An adjustment structure, detachably mounted on the limiting plate and having at least two, is provided for adjusting the height of the limiting plate.
[0012] Furthermore, the bottom of the limiting plate has at least two screw holes, and the adjustment structure includes:
[0013] A stud is fitted with the thread of the screw hole, and a support plate is provided at one end of the stud.
[0014] Furthermore, it also includes:
[0015] The leg support is detachably connected to the limiting plate, and the leg support has a placement groove.
[0016] Furthermore, the limiting plate is provided with a mounting cylinder, and a fixing bolt is threaded onto the mounting cylinder;
[0017] The leg support is provided with a connector that is compatible with the mounting cylinder.
[0018] Furthermore, the connector includes:
[0019] An outer rod is mounted on the leg support, and a connecting rod adapted to the mounting cylinder is movably inserted inside the outer rod;
[0020] The connecting rod has multiple fixing holes that are compatible with the fixing bolts, and the outer rod is threaded with adjusting bolts that are compatible with the fixing holes.
[0021] Furthermore, the upper and lower ends of the leg support are respectively provided with grooves and hidden grooves. A threaded rod is threadedly connected to the bottom wall of the groove. A rotating block is provided at the upper end of the threaded rod, and a support plate is provided at the lower end of the threaded rod extending to the bottom of the leg support.
[0022] Furthermore, the leg support is also provided with a second Velcro strap and a paperclip, which are located on both sides of the placement slot.
[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0024] 1. In this plan, the patient's foot is positioned within the lateral and posterior bony prongs. Through the interaction with the perforated opening, the patient's heel is suspended and open. When performing calcaneal traction, the traction needle passes through the perforated opening to the patient's calcaneal position without affecting the use of the traction needle, thus improving the effect of bone traction.
[0025] 2. The perforated opening keeps the patient's heel in a hollowed-out and suspended state, which avoids the repeated friction and pressure on the patient's heel caused by conventional T-strap shoes. This not only prevents pressure injury to the patient's heel and greatly reduces the formation of pressure sores on the heel, but also allows medical staff to observe the patient's heel recovery in real time through the perforated opening so as to take appropriate measures in a timely manner, which is more conducive to the patient's rehabilitation.
[0026] 3. The height of the limiting plate can be adjusted by operating the adjustment structure, which can adjust the height of the side and rear braces. This allows for adjustments based on different patients and their specific needs, making it more flexible and adaptable to various patient requirements. It also promotes patient comfort and the healing process.
[0027] 4. The leg support can support the patient's lower leg, distribute body pressure, effectively prevent pressure sores, provide a relatively stable environment for calcaneal traction, and further prevent the patient's leg from tilting. It can better keep the patient in an abducted and neutral position, prevent malunion or other complications caused by incorrect posture, and promote stability and recovery speed in the fracture healing process.

[0035] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0036] Example 1:
[0037] Please see Figure 1-2 T-shaped shoes for skeletal traction include:
[0038] A limiting plate 1 is provided with an insole 2 and two side panels 3, with the insole 2 located between the two side panels 3;
[0039] The rear panel 4 is connected to two side panels 3 at both ends. The rear panel 4 and the side panels 3 are provided with a hollow opening 5. The side panels 3 are provided with a first Velcro strap 6 that is connected to the rear panel 4.
[0040] Adjustment structure 7, which is detachably mounted on the limiting plate 1 and has at least two, is used to adjust the height of the limiting plate 1.
[0041] In use, place the T-shaped shoe of this application on the patient's foot, and insert the patient's foot and heel into the side panels 3 and back panels 4 of the limiting plate 1, so that the patient's sole is in contact with the insole 2. Then, cross the first Velcro straps 6 on the two side panels 3 and pull them to the back panel 4, and fasten the first Velcro straps 6 to fix the patient's foot. This completes the wearing of the shoe. It is convenient and simple to wear, reducing pain and other impacts on the patient caused by wearing it. It can effectively keep the patient's affected limb foot in an abducted and neutral position, preventing complications such as foot drop, internal rotation, and external rotation.
[0042] With the combined action of the hollowed-out openings 5 on the back panel 4 and side panel 3, the patient's heel is in a suspended and hollowed-out state. When performing calcaneal traction, the traction needle passes through the hollowed-out opening 5 to the patient's calcaneal position without affecting the use of the traction needle. At the same time, the protection and restriction of the patient's foot by this T-shaped shoe can improve the effect of bone traction.
[0043] Furthermore, the perforated opening 5 keeps the patient's heel in a hollowed-out and suspended state, which avoids the repeated friction and pressure on the patient's heel caused by conventional T-strap shoes. This not only prevents pressure injuries to the patient's heel and greatly reduces the formation of pressure sores, but also allows medical staff to observe the patient's heel recovery in real time through the perforated opening 5 so as to take appropriate measures in a timely manner, which is more conducive to the patient's rehabilitation. It has high practicality and can be widely promoted and used.
[0044] Simultaneously, during use, the height of the limiting plate 1 can be adjusted by operating the adjustment structure 7, which can adjust the height of the side support 3 and the rear support 4, and thus adjust the height of the patient's foot. This allows for adjustments based on different patients and different situations, thereby adapting to the usage needs of various patients. It is highly flexible, and medical staff can flexibly adjust it according to different bone traction conditions. It has a wide range of applications and can further promote patient comfort and the healing process.
[0045] For preferred options, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1-2 The bottom of the limiting plate 1 has at least two screw holes 8, and the adjustment structure 7 includes:
[0046] The stud 71 is threaded to fit the screw hole 8, and a support plate 72 is provided at one end of the stud 71.
[0047] With this design, when the height of the limiting plate 1 needs to be adjusted, the stud 71 can be rotated first to be turned into the screw hole 8 of the limiting plate 1. Then, by rotating the stud 71, the support plate 72 can be raised or lowered. The support plate 72 provides support, and the height of the limiting plate 1 can be adjusted by the different positions of the support plate 72.
[0048] Example 2:
[0049] Please see Figure 1-5 In addition to Embodiment 1, it also includes:
[0050] The leg support 9 is detachably connected to the limiting plate 1, and the leg support 9 has a placement groove 10.
[0051] When the patient's foot is placed on the restraint plate 1, the patient's lower leg will fall into the placement groove 10 of the leg support 9. The leg support 9 can support the patient's lower leg, which can help distribute the pressure on the body, thereby effectively preventing the occurrence of pressure sores and providing a relatively stable environment for calcaneal traction, which is conducive to the stability and recovery speed of the fracture healing process.
[0052] At the same time, when performing bone traction on the patient's foot, the support of the leg support seat 9 on the patient's lower leg can further prevent the patient's leg from becoming crooked, help maintain the limb in a natural aligned position, and better keep the patient in an abducted and neutral position, preventing malunion or other complications caused by incorrect posture.
[0053] The leg support 9 is equipped with a rubber breathable pad to improve patient comfort. When the leg support 9 is not in use, it can be removed by disconnecting the connection between the leg support 9 and the limiting plate 1. It can be used as needed.
[0054] For preferred options, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3-5 The limiting plate 1 is provided with an installation cylinder 11, and the installation cylinder 11 is threaded with a fixing bolt 12;
[0055] The leg support 9 is provided with a connector 13 that is compatible with the mounting cylinder 11.
[0056] This design allows the leg support 9 to be connected to the limiting plate 1 by connecting the connector 13 with the mounting cylinder 11. This ensures the stability of the leg support 9 during use, prevents the leg support 9 from moving and affecting the support effect on the patient, and prevents the effect of bone traction recovery from being affected.
[0057] Furthermore, the connector 13 can adjust the distance between the leg support 9 and the limiting plate 1, thereby allowing the support position of the leg support 9 to be adjusted according to different patients and their comfort positions. This flexibility allows for adjustments based on specific needs, resulting in excellent performance. In other words, it can be personalized according to the patient's specific needs and recovery progress to ensure optimal support, which not only helps improve the effectiveness of treatment but also significantly improves patient comfort and safety.
[0058] For preferred options, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3-5 The connector 13 includes:
[0059] The outer rod 131 is mounted on the leg support 9, and a connecting rod 132 adapted to the mounting cylinder 11 is movably inserted inside the outer rod 131.
[0060] The connecting rod 132 has multiple fixing holes 133 that are compatible with the fixing bolts 12, and the outer rod 131 is threaded with adjusting bolts 134 that are compatible with the fixing holes 133.
[0061] With this design, one end of the connecting rod 132 can be inserted into the mounting cylinder 11, and then the fixing bolt 12 can be rotated to make it enter the fixing hole 133 at the end of the connecting rod 132, thus connecting the connecting rod 132 and the mounting cylinder 11, thereby completing the connection and fixation between the leg support 9 and the limiting plate 1. The operation is simple and convenient.
[0062] After loosening the adjusting bolt 134 to disengage it from the fixing hole 133, the outer rod 131 and the connecting rod 132 can slide against each other, changing their common length and thus altering the distance between the leg support 9 and the limiting plate 1. After adjustment, the adjusting bolt 134 can be tightened into the fixing hole 133 at its current position, fixing the outer rod 131 and the connecting rod 132, thus completing the fixation between the leg support 9 and the limiting plate 1.
[0063] For preferred options, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 and Figure 5 The upper and lower ends of the leg support 9 are respectively provided with grooves 14 and hidden grooves 15. The bottom wall of the groove 14 is threaded with a threaded rod 16. The upper end of the threaded rod 16 is provided with a rotating block 17, and the lower end of the threaded rod 16 extends to the bottom of the leg support 9 and is provided with a support plate 18.
[0064] With this design, rotating the rotating block 17 will drive the threaded rod 16 to rotate, and rotating the threaded rod 16 will drive the support plate 18 to move up or down. The support plate 18 provides support, and the height of the leg support 9 can be adjusted by changing the height of the support plate 18. It can be adjusted according to specific needs and is highly flexible.
[0065] For preferred options, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3The leg support 9 is also equipped with a second magic strap 19 and a paperclip 20, which are located on both sides of the placement slot 10. This design allows for flexible fixation of the patient's lower leg by wrapping the second magic strap 19 around the patient's lower leg and securing it with the paperclip 20, further reducing leg misalignment and improving the patient's rehabilitation effect.
