Description

Traction device for lower limb fractures Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a traction device for lower limb fractures. Background Art

[0002] Bone traction is a common method for treating fractures. Traction devices and weights are used to pull and reposition the fracture ends, particularly for lower limb fractures.

[0003] Traditional traction devices consist of a support structure and a traction mechanism. During use, because the support structure is fixed, the support angle of the lower limb cannot be adjusted, nor can the angle of the force line with the traction structure be dynamically and consistently adjusted. This results in poor traction and can even lead to problems such as fracture dislocation. Furthermore, prolonged bed rest can lead to circulatory problems, muscle atrophy, joint stiffness, and pressure sores.

[0004] At the same time, the traction structure of traditional traction devices is mostly a fixed-angle structure, and the angle of the traction force line or the direction of the traction force is difficult to adjust. In addition, the counterweight part of the traction structure is mostly a fixed weight unit, and the adjustable range often cannot meet the individual needs of patients.

[0005] Furthermore, due to differences in height and body shape among patients, traditional braces for supporting patients' limbs suffer from poor support effectiveness due to their non-adjustability. Prolonged use can lead to localized compression and poor blood circulation. Furthermore, they are not adaptable to patients of all body types. Furthermore, existing traction devices often result in poor patient comfort during support, failing to meet current clinical and patient needs.

[0006] Clearly, existing bone traction devices are not only difficult to adapt to clinical needs but are also prone to numerous complications. This invention effectively meets the requirements for fracture reduction with good alignment and position, while also preventing various complications associated with prolonged traction. Its integrated design and low cost make it highly suitable for widespread use and promotion.

[0068] 1 to 8 , a traction device for lower limb fractures according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, including a support assembly 10 , a vertical bracket 20 connected to the support assembly 10 , a traction assembly 30 sleeved on the vertical bracket 20 , a telescopic frame 40 connected to the support assembly 10 and the traction assembly 30 , and a counterweight assembly 50 .

[0069] The support assembly 10 includes a base 11, a first bracket 12, a second bracket 13, a third bracket 14, and a drive assembly 15. One end of the first bracket 12 is hinged to the base 11, and the other end is hinged to the second bracket 13. The other end of the second bracket 13 is free. The third bracket 14 is hinged to the base 11 and the second bracket 13 at both ends. The drive assembly 15 is hinged to the base 11 and the third bracket 14 at both ends.

[0070] The base 11 is a rectangular frame structure with a first crossbeam 111 disposed therein. In this embodiment, the first crossbeam 111 is in the form of a rectangular column. In other embodiments, the first crossbeam 111 can also be cylindrical, prismatic, or other shapes, as long as a hinge connection can be achieved. The material of the first crossbeam 111 is not limited, but must meet the mechanical strength requirements during use. For example, the first crossbeam 111 can be made of stainless steel, plastic steel, or aluminum-plastic. The first crossbeam 111 can be solid or hollow. To reduce the overall weight of the traction device, the base 11, including the first crossbeam 111, can be hollow.

[0071] A storage hole 112 is provided at one end of the base 11 away from the first bracket 12, and a connecting seat 113 is symmetrically provided on the base 11, and the connecting seat 113 is a hollow structure. In this embodiment, the connecting seat 113 is fixedly connected to the base 11. In other embodiments, the connecting seat 113 and the base 11 can also be movably connected. In the working state, the end of the vertical bracket 20 is inserted into the interior of the connecting seat 113, and the vertical bracket 20 and the connecting seat 113 are detachably connected. In the non-working state, the vertical bracket 20 can be taken out from the connecting seat 113 and inserted into the interior of the base 11 through the storage hole 112. Specifically, the insertion position of the vertical bracket 20 is determined according to the position of the storage hole 112. In this embodiment, the distance between the two storage holes 112 is less than the length of the first crossbeam 111 of the base 11. When the vertical bracket 20 is inserted into the storage hole 112, the vertical bracket 20 is located in the rectangular frame of the base 11.

[0072] In order to increase the stability of the vertical support 20, the vertical support 20 in this embodiment includes two columns and a crossbeam connected between the two columns. In other embodiments, the vertical support 20 may not include a crossbeam.

[0073] The slider 34 is sleeved on the two columns of the vertical bracket 20 to support the support frame assembly 31 .

[0074] In this embodiment, the drive assembly 15 is an electric push rod. In other embodiments, the drive assembly 15 may also be driven by a screw and nut, a pneumatic cylinder, or an oil cylinder, as long as the drive assembly 15 can be extended or retracted. One end of the drive assembly 15 is hinged to the end of the base 11 near the connecting seat 113, and the other end is hinged to the third bracket 14. When the drive assembly 15 retracts and retracts, it drives the third bracket 14.

[0075] The first bracket 12 is hingedly connected to the base 11 at one end away from the connecting seat 113. The other end of the first bracket 12 is hingedly connected to the second bracket 13. In this embodiment, the first bracket 12 has a rectangular frame structure. In other embodiments, the first bracket 12 can also have a frame structure of other shapes, such as diamond, circle, ellipse, or irregular shape. In addition to a frame structure, the first bracket 12 can also have a non-frame planar structure.

[0076] The second bracket 13 is a rectangular frame structure, and a second crossbeam 131 is provided inside the second bracket 13. One end of the second bracket 13 is hinged to the first bracket 12, and the other end is a free end.

[0077] The base is parallel to the second bracket, and the first bracket is parallel to the third bracket. One end of the third bracket 14 is hinged to the first crossbeam 111, and the other end is hinged to the second crossbeam 131. The first crossbeam, the first bracket, the second crossbeam, and the third bracket form a parallelogram kinematic structure. This parallelogram kinematic structure can move with the movement of the drive assembly 15, so that the first bracket 12 and the second bracket 13 can support the patient's limb, enhance the fit between the patient's limb and the support assembly 10, and effectively improve the support effect.

[0078] The third bracket 14 is symmetrically provided with multiple connecting sleeves 141. One end of a telescopic bracket 40 is sleeved within the connecting sleeve 141, and the other end is hingedly connected to the slider 34. The telescopic bracket 40 can telescope along the connecting sleeve 141, thereby driving the slider 34 to slide up and down along the vertical bracket 20, thereby adjusting the height of the traction assembly 30.

[0079] The traction assembly 30 includes multiple support frame assemblies 31, guide shafts 32 connected to both ends of the support frame assemblies 31, and pulley assemblies 33 mounted on the guide shafts 32. In this embodiment, there are four support frame assemblies 31, with two support frame assemblies 31 positioned opposite each other. The ends of the guide shafts 32 facing away from the slider 34 are connected to the guide shafts 32, and the pulley assemblies 33 are mounted on the guide shafts 32. With the vertical support 20 as the center, the guide shafts 32 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the vertical support 20.

[0080] Sliders 34 are provided on the outer walls of opposite sides of the support frame assembly 31. Sliders 34 are mounted on the exterior of the vertical support 20 and are capable of sliding freely in the vertical direction along the vertical support 20. Sliders 34 are also provided with hinged seats 341, which are hingedly connected to the telescopic frame 40. In this embodiment, the sliders 34 move up and down along the vertical support 20 under the interaction between the drive assembly 15, the third support 14, and the telescopic frame 40, thereby achieving automatic height adjustment of the traction assembly 30 and improving the accuracy of the height adjustment process.

[0081] The pulley assembly 33 includes a linear bearing 35 and a pulley 36 mounted on the outside of the linear bearing 35; the linear bearing 35 is mounted on the outside of the guide shaft 32 to enable the pulley 36 to slide freely along the axis of the guide shaft 32. In this embodiment, the pulley 36 can slide freely along the axis of the guide shaft 32 under the action of the linear bearing 35. Therefore, when the traction line is mounted on the pulley 36, the pulley 36, the linear bearing 35 and the guide shaft 32 cooperate with each other to achieve adaptive adjustment of the traction line in the lateral direction, which helps to keep the direction of action of the traction line consistent with the treatment purpose or demand. In addition, with the lateral adjustability of the traction line, the support direction of the support assembly 10 can be further kept consistent with the direction of action of the traction force, further improving the treatment effect.

[0082] The counterweight assembly 50 in this embodiment is a digital counterweight assembly. In this embodiment, the counterweight assembly 50 can be fixed to the ground or a bed frame, or it can be a pulling device with a built-in motor. The counterweight assembly 50 is provided with a connecting hook (not shown in the figure), and the traction line is connected to the counterweight assembly 50 through the connecting hook. During use, the traction force on the patient's fracture end can be adjusted by adjusting the counterweight assembly 50. Compared with the traditional method of adjusting the traction force by stacking fixed-weight counterweight blocks or weights, the counterweight assembly 50 has high adjustment accuracy and can accurately adjust the traction force as the treatment situation changes, avoiding the occurrence of strains and the like, while improving the treatment effect.

[0083] Working Principle: To use the traction device of the present invention, first remove the vertical support 20 from the storage hole 112. Insert the two uprights of the vertical support 20 through the sliders 34, slidably connecting the support frame assembly 31 to the vertical support 20. A traction line is placed inside the upper groove of the pulley 36, and the drive assembly 15 is connected to the control switch. By manually pressing the control switch, the drive assembly 15 moves, and the third support 14 connected thereto sequentially drives the second support 13 and the telescopic frame 40, thereby achieving synchronous adjustment of the support assembly 10 and the traction assembly 30. Specifically, the first, second, and third supports 12, 13, and 14 are tilted to a certain angle, while the support frame assembly 31 is raised to a certain height. The first support 12 now supports the patient's limb, particularly the thigh, while the second support 13 supports the patient's limb, particularly the calf. The traction bow connected to the fracture site of the patient's leg is connected to one end of the traction line. Based on the actual treatment needs, the control switch is manually pressed again to fine-tune the support assembly 10 and the traction assembly 30. At the same time, the lateral position of the pulley 36 is adjusted, and the electronic counterweight assembly is connected to the other end of the traction force line. Through the external control component, the electronic counterweight assembly is adjusted until it meets the patient's needs.

[0084] The traction device of the present invention not only achieves the consistency between the supporting direction of the supporting structure and the direction of action of the traction force line, but also realizes the synchronous adjustment of the two. In addition, the electronic counterweight component can accurately adjust the size of the traction force, which comprehensively improves the therapeutic effect of postoperative treatment of patients with lower limb fractures.

[0085] 9 to 18 , another embodiment of the present invention shows a traction device for repairing and treating lower limb injuries, including a support mechanism A10 and a bracket mechanism A20 hinged to the support mechanism A10.

[0086] Bracket mechanism A10 includes a base A11, a first telescopic assembly A12, and a support assembly A13 hinged to base A11. One end of first telescopic assembly A12 is hinged to base A11, and the other end is hinged to support assembly A13. In this embodiment, support assembly A13 is hinged to base A11 via a hinged seat. One end of first telescopic assembly A12 is also hinged to base A11 and support assembly A13 via hinged seats, respectively. This allows support assembly A13 to move around the hinged portion under the support of first telescopic assembly A12.
