Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bone plate technology, and in particular to an assemblable bone plate. Background Technology

[0002] Existing standard bone plates are categorized into rib plates, radial plates, femoral plates, etc., depending on the location of the fracture. The radius is a bone in the arm, and a radial plate consists of a shaft and a head; each person's radius is different. During surgery, different sizes of radial plates are selected based on the length and shape of the fracture line. Different sizes of radial plates have different shaft lengths and different head shapes.

[0003] The problems with existing technologies are: too many specifications make it difficult for doctors to choose during surgery, increase surgical time, and also increase production costs and inventory pressure. In addition, too many specifications cannot fully cover individual differences in patients' anatomy.

[0004] Chinese patent document CN216628670 U discloses a splicing bone plate that achieves flexible combination of bone plate specifications through a detachable splicing structure of the rod and head, thereby reducing the overall number of specifications and improving adaptability.

[0005] However, in practical applications, this solution still suffers from insufficient structural strength at the joint between the rod and the head, affecting the stability of the bone plate under complex stress environments. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that the splicing parts of the existing spliced ​​bone plates have insufficient strength and poor stability under complex stress environments.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: an assemblable bone plate, including a rod and a head. A first end assembly groove is provided on the front or back side of the head end of the rod, and a second end assembly groove is provided at the end of the head to assemble with the first end assembly groove. Both the first and second end assembly grooves are arc-shaped grooves with an arc shape in the width direction. The inner end faces of the first and second end assembly grooves are wedge-shaped recessed structures. The end faces of the head end of the rod and the end face of the head are wedge-shaped protrusions that mate with the wedge-shaped recessed structures. The head end of the rod and the head are assembled into one piece through the first and second end assembly grooves, and the wedge-shaped protrusions of the rod and the head are embedded in the wedge-shaped recessed structures. The head end of the rod and the end of the head, which are assembled into one piece, are locked together in the front-to-back direction by locking screws or hollow locking studs.

[0008] In some embodiments, optionally, the rod and head have a plurality of bone screw holes.

[0009] In some embodiments, optionally, one of the first end assembly groove and the second end assembly groove is an arc-shaped groove that is thin on both sides and thick in the middle, and the other is an arc-shaped groove that is thick on both sides and thin in the middle.

[0010] In some embodiments, the hollow inner hole of the hollow locking stud is optionally a bone screw hole.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] (1) The present invention provides a type of assembleable bone plate with a first end assembly groove, a second end assembly groove, and a wedge-shaped concave structure and a wedge-shaped convex structure that are staggered on both sides for front-to-back assembly. It can be assembled with each other to form bone plates of different sizes and structures, which can be adapted to different bone parts and patients, and has a wider range of applications.

[0013] (2) The first end assembly groove and the second end assembly groove can ensure that the splicing structure between the head and the rod of the bone plate is stable and reliable in the width direction. The wedge-shaped concave structure and the wedge-shaped convex structure can ensure that the splicing structure between the head and the rod of the bone plate is stable and reliable in the front and rear directions.

[0014] (3) The splicing structure of this utility model has a more reasonable layout and a more compact size;

[0015] (4) The splicing structure is easy to process and has low requirements for processing accuracy. It can meet the processing accuracy requirements on general processing equipment, which greatly reduces the processing cost. It exhibits good mechanical properties and stability during use.
