A movable component 4 is provided between the plurality of sliders 14.

[0024] In this embodiment: When using the minimally invasive surgical fixation nail, a drill bit 3 can be installed or a flat-headed fixation nail body 1 can be used as needed. When the fixation nail does not require the drill bit 3, multiple sliders 14 can be automatically pushed along the connecting rod 16 to the threaded groove 11 under the action of spring 15. When the multiple sliders 14 slide along the connecting rod 16, they can drive the middle movable component 4 to move simultaneously. When the sliders 14 are pushed to the maximum distance that can be moved by spring 15, the movable component 4 slides in the threaded groove 11 and blocks the threaded groove 11. When the minimally invasive surgical fixation nail does not require the use of the drill bit 3, the movable component 4 can be automatically pushed to block the threaded groove 11, which can prevent foreign objects from entering the fixation nail body 1 and causing infection of the wound during use.

[0025] Example 2: This example is an improvement on Example 1. For details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 - Figure 5 A screw 31 is installed in the internal thread of the threaded groove 11. A drill bit 3 is fixedly installed at one end of the screw 31. The drill bit 3 can be fixedly set at one end of the fixing nail body 1 through the screw 31.

[0026] The movable component 4 includes a movable block 41 fixedly installed between several sliders 14. The inner wall of the movable block 41 is provided with a groove 42, and a rotating rod 43 is rotatably installed in the groove 42. The rotating rod 43 can rotate inside the movable block 41.

[0027] Fixed rods 44 are fixedly installed on both sides of the rotating rod 43. Sliding rods 45 are slidably installed inside the fixed rods 44. Spring 46 is fixedly installed between the inner wall of the sliding rod 45 and the inner wall of the fixed rod 44. In the initial state, the sliding rod 45 is stored inside the fixed rod 44.

[0028] The side wall of the movable block 41 is provided with a slot 47, and the two side walls of the threaded groove 11 are provided with inclined grooves 17. The sliding rod 45 is slidably connected in the inclined groove 17. When the rotating rod 43 rotates, it can drive the fixed rod 44 and the sliding rod 45 of the side wall to rotate together along the inner wall of the sliding groove 42, and can slide along the slot 47 into the inclined groove 17 when rotating.

[0030] In this embodiment: when the drill bit 3 is needed, the screw 31 can be screwed into the threaded groove 11 first. When the screw 31 is screwed into the threaded groove 11, it will contact the movable block 41, pushing the movable block 41 into the interior of the fixing nail body 1. When pushing, the slider 14 provided on the side will slide along the connecting rod 16 until the drill bit 3 is rotated to... Figure 1 Figure 2 The position shown is correct. At this point, multiple springs 15 are compressed. When the drill bit 3 is not needed, the screw 31 can be unscrewed along the thread groove 11. When there is no pressure from the screw 31, the multiple springs 15 can automatically push the movable block 41 towards the thread groove 11. When the screw 31 is removed, the movable block 41 also slides to the position of the thread groove 11. At this time, the operating lever 49 can be rotated. When the operating lever 49 rotates, it drives the rotating rod 43 to rotate in the slide groove 42. The rotation of the rotating rod 43 drives the fixed rod 44 and the slide rod 4 on its side wall. 5. When rotating together, the slide rod 45 slides along the slot 47 on the side wall to the position of the inclined groove 17. At this time, under the action of the spring 46, the slide rod 45 is pushed out and slid into the inclined groove 17, which can limit the movement block 41. When the drill bit 3 is not needed, the device can block the threaded groove 11 at one end of the fixed nail body 1, and adjust the movement block 41 to make it openable or blocked. In the blocked state, it can prevent foreign objects from entering the interior of the fixed nail body 1. In the open state, the drill bit can be installed, which is more flexible to use.
