Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical tool technology, specifically relating to a universal end block. Background Technology

[0002] Joints are formed by the connection of adjacent bones through a capsule of connective tissue. The connection between bones is called a joint, and there is a cavity between opposing bone surfaces containing a small amount of synovial fluid. Joints have a relatively large range of motion. Each joint has articular surfaces, a joint capsule, and a joint cavity; some joints also have auxiliary structures such as ligaments, articular discs, and menisci. Because joints are prone to a large range of motion, bone fixation devices are needed for auxiliary fixation in surgery treating fractures on both sides of the joint. However, traditional bone fixation devices can usually only adjust the distance between the sliders at both ends, but cannot adjust the angle of the inserted bone screws according to the bone position, especially since the bones at both ends of the joint often have a large bending angle, which traditional bone fixation devices cannot meet. Therefore, the invention of a bone fixation device with multi-directional angle adjustment is a much-needed product in the market. Utility Model Content
