Description

A serial three-axis motion reduction robot for closed reduction of pelvic fractures Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to a serial three-axis motion reduction robot for closed reduction of pelvic fractures. Background Art

[0002] With social progress and the development of the transportation industry, the number of patients suffering pelvic fractures has increased annually. Pelvic fractures account for 3% to 8% of all fractures, with a disability rate as high as 37% and a mortality rate as high as 30-60%. Traditional open reduction surgery involves large incisions, significant bleeding, and the effectiveness of the reduction depends on the surgeon's experience. Minimally invasive closed reduction of pelvic fractures avoids large incisions, significantly reduces bleeding, and minimizes complications, becoming the trend in pelvic fracture reduction surgery.

[0003] The reduction force required during the reduction surgery is as high as 500N. Manual reduction by the doctor is labor-intensive and cannot guarantee reduction accuracy. Compared with manual reduction by the doctor, robot-assisted pelvic fracture reduction offers advantages such as smoother operation, higher precision, less intraoperative fluoroscopy, and reduced labor intensity for the doctor, providing greater accuracy and safety.

[0004] Currently, research on fracture surgical robots focuses primarily on long bone fractures, while there is relatively little research on pelvic fracture reduction robots. Serial pelvic fracture reduction robots primarily utilize six-axis robots, which have low stiffness and small end loads and cannot meet clinical requirements. Parallel pelvic fracture reduction robots primarily utilize Ilizarov frames or Stewart platforms, which have large loads but small workspaces and occupy a large amount of space, which can affect operations such as intraoperative X-ray filming. Serial-parallel pelvic fracture reduction robots are primarily based on serial mobile platforms, with a parallel mechanism located at the end of the serial platform to control the posture of the fracture fragments. This type of robot is located directly at the side of the bed, which affects the doctor's operation. Parallel mechanisms are often large in size, and their proximity to the pelvis can interfere with the surgical operating space and affect intraoperative X-ray filming.

[0034] To reduce physician workload and the number of fluoroscopy procedures, while also improving fracture reduction accuracy, surgical robots are being used for fracture reduction. However, pelvic fracture reduction requires significant force and a high workspace. Existing pelvic fracture robots have a small end-load capacity and cannot meet the clinical reduction force requirements. Furthermore, the robots are located at the side of the bed, hindering the physician's operation and intraoperative X-ray filming.

[0035] To this end, this application provides a serial three-axis motion reduction robot for closed pelvic fracture reduction, which achieves the goal of having a larger load capacity and higher precision while not interfering with the doctor's operation and intraoperative X-ray filming. The details are as follows:

[0036] Serial pelvic fracture reduction robots are primarily six-axis robots, which have low stiffness and small end loads, failing to meet clinical requirements. Parallel pelvic fracture reduction robots primarily utilize an Ilizarov frame or Stewart platform, which have large loads but a small workspace and occupy a large amount of space, impacting operations such as intraoperative X-rays. Serial-parallel pelvic fracture reduction robots are primarily based on a serial mobile platform. The parallel mechanism is located at the end of the serial platform to control the posture of the fracture fragment. This type of robot is located directly at the bedside, impacting the doctor's operation. The parallel mechanism is often large, and its proximity to the pelvis can interfere with the surgical operating space and affect intraoperative X-rays.

The three-axis movable device 3 is fixed above the movable base 2 and is used to pull the fracture fragment horizontally and vertically to separate and unlock the fracture ends, and to perform three-degree-of-freedom translational reduction of the fracture fragment. The three-axis rotation device 4 is fixed in front of the three-axis movable device 3 and is used to perform three-degree-of-freedom rotational reduction of the fracture fragment. The output end of the three-axis rotation device 5 is fixed to the reset force detection device 5, and the end of the reset force detection device 5 is detachably connected to the affected-side screw holding device 6 to facilitate surgical disinfection. The affected-side screw holding device 6 can hold the affected-side holding nail at any position and is detachably connected to the affected-side holding nail 68.

The clamping block 61 is installed at one end of the locking bolt 15 and the locking wrench 16 is installed at the other end, which are respectively located on the side and bottom of the guide rail connector 60 and are connected to the guide rail connector 60 by threads. The guide rail connector 60 is suspended on the guide rail beside the bed and is clamped and fixed by driving the clamping block 61 through the locking bolt 15.

[0045] In this embodiment, referring to Figures 1, 7, 8 and 10, the screw arbitrary holding mechanism 55 includes a rotating fixing clamp 62, a connecting rod 63, a sleeve 64, a gasket 65, a bolt 66, and a holding nail clamp 67. One end of the rotating fixing clamp 62 is fixed to the holding rod 54, and the other end is connected to the connecting rod 63. The lower end of the connecting rod 63 is equipped with the sleeve 64, which is rotatably connected to the holding nail clamp 67. The gasket 65 and the bolt 66 are used for axial fixation, and the holding nail clamp 67 clamps the holding nail 68.

[0046] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: First, the holding pins are placed in the healthy and affected pelvises respectively, with three holding pins placed in the healthy hemipelvis, one holding pin placed in the healthy femur, two holding pins placed in the affected pelvis, and one holding pin placed in the affected femur. The holding screws are fixed and held by four screw-free holding mechanisms, which are fixedly connected to the upper horizontal connecting rod, and the pelvis is firmly fixed by the healthy side fixing device; the affected pelvic fracture reduction robot is moved to the affected side and placed next to the operating table. After the bed fixing fixture is fixed to the bedside guide rail, the brake wheel is locked and fixed; the holding rod is installed on the output shaft and fixed with a locking nut. The affected side holding screws are fixed and held by three screw-free holding mechanisms, which are installed on both sides of the holding rod and locked and fixed. The pelvis is connected to the fracture reduction robot. Then, a preoperative CT three-dimensional model of the pelvic fracture is established to plan the fracture fragment reduction path. Finally, the fracture reduction is performed through the six-degree-of-freedom translation and rotation of the fracture reduction robot. The doctor repeatedly observes the reduction of the fracture fragments through X-rays and guides the robot to make adjustments. First, the rough reduction is completed by translation, then the posture of the fracture fragment is adjusted, and finally the position of the end effector is adjusted to complete the precise reduction of the fracture fragment.

[0047] The present invention provides a serial three-axis motion reduction robot for closed reduction of pelvic fractures, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0048] 1) The ipsilateral pelvic fracture reduction robot is placed next to the operating table, at the patient's ipsilateral femur, to provide ample space for the doctor to perform intraoperative operations and take X-rays.

[0049] 2) The three-axis rotation device is connected in series through a U-shaped frame, which takes up less space than the traditional ball joint. When resetting, it can be close to the upper surface of the human body, with a short lever arm, which can provide a larger resetting force;

[0050] 3) Each branch of the screw holding device on the affected side has seven degrees of freedom, which can achieve the holding position of the screw at any position;

[0051] 4) The ipsilateral pelvic fracture reduction robot, the patient, the operating table, and the healthy side screw holding mechanism are connected to form a closed structure. The reduction force is an internal force, which can improve the robot's load-bearing capacity and reduce the robot's overall weight.
