Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model specifically relates to the field of medical device technology, and more specifically to biodegradable magnesium alloy bone screws. Background Technology
[0002] Metal bone screws commonly used for fracture fixation are mostly made of stainless steel or titanium alloy. Although these materials have good mechanical properties, they require a second surgery to remove them after fracture healing, increasing patient pain and financial burden. Traditional non-degradable polymer bone screws have insufficient mechanical properties and cannot meet the needs of complex fracture fixation. Degradable magnesium alloy, as a new type of biomaterial, has good biocompatibility and gradual degradation characteristics. However, existing degradable magnesium alloy bone screws have shortcomings in structural design and performance optimization, such as poor fixation stability, unreasonable degradation rate control, and limited effect on promoting bone healing. Currently, the mechanical properties of traditional biodegradable magnesium alloy bone screws are inferior to those of traditional metal bone screws, which may lead to loosening, displacement, or breakage of the implant, affecting the stability of fracture fixation. This may cause secondary injury to the patient during rehabilitation. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a biodegradable magnesium alloy bone screw. In this device, the structure is optimized to improve fixation stability, rationally control the degradation rate, enhance the ability to promote bone healing, avoid secondary surgery for removal, and improve the treatment effect of fractures, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0008] 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.
[0009] Please see Figure 1-2 In this embodiment of the utility model, the biodegradable magnesium alloy bone screw includes a screw body 1; points a and b at both ends of the screw body 1 are the screw body and the screw head, respectively; the screw body 1 is made of biodegradable magnesium alloy; a first connecting hole 5 and a second double round head groove 2 are provided at point a. The radius of the screw body 1 is 620mm; the screw body 1 has a gradually changing shape from point a to point b. By adopting the above technical solution, two first connecting holes 5 are provided; the second double round head groove 2 is disposed between the two first connecting holes 5; the two first connecting holes 5 and the second double round head groove 2 are coaxial. In this embodiment, two first connecting holes 2 are provided; the second double round head groove 5 is disposed between the two first connecting holes 2; the two first connecting holes 2 and the second double round head groove 5 are coaxial; In this embodiment, there are at least three second connecting holes 3 at point b, arranged in sequence; a first double round head groove 4 is provided at the end of point b near point a; the first double round head groove 4 is coaxially arranged with the multiple second connecting holes 3. By adopting the above technical solution, by opening connecting holes at both ends of the screw body 1, the stability of the connection is effectively guaranteed, thereby ensuring the effect of accelerating degradation. Furthermore, the length of the screw body 1 is 45cm; wherein the diameter of point b is 0.35 times the diameter of point a; In this embodiment, the first connecting hole 5, the second connecting hole 3, the first double round head groove 4, and the second double round head groove 2 are all countersunk holes; and the edges are chamfered at 0.15°. By adopting the above technical solutions, the chamfer design prevents tools from slipping during operation, avoids damage to the nail head, and improves the convenience of operation and the service life of the screw; The working principle of this utility model is as follows: by effectively fixing the screw body 1 to the bone, elements such as zinc and calcium are contained in the degradable magnesium alloy; the addition of elements such as zinc and calcium optimizes the mechanical properties and biocompatibility of the magnesium alloy, and improves its corrosion resistance and degradation uniformity. The screw body 1 has a gradual transition from point a to point b, which makes it easier for the front end of the screw body 1 to cut into the bone and increases the contact area between the rear end and the bone, thereby improving the holding force and fixation stability and adapting to the fixation needs of different bone tissues. The second double round head groove 2 and the first double round head groove 4 opened at points a and b effectively increase the contact area, thereby improving the consumption of degradation, ensuring the quality and efficiency of healing, and reducing the patient's pain.
