An intramedullary nail for the fixation of fractures of the proximal femur, with a femur neck screw (10a), installable with a proximal femur nail (1a), into the intramedullary area, by a diagonal bore (7a), running to the longitudinal axis of the femur nail (1a), from the side of the femur nail (1a), and a locking element (16a) with at least one prong (18a) parallel to the axis of the femur neck screw (10a). A positive connection between the locking element (16a) and a groove (8a) in the bore (7a) of the femur nail (1a) forms a twisting lock of the femur neck screw (10a) and, allows for the axial movement of the femur neck screw (10a) in the bore (7a) of the femur nail (1a).

The invention relates to an intramedullary nail used for treating fractures of the femur. It comprises a distal end, which is appointed for insertion into the marrow cavity channel, a proximal end, and a longitudinal axis. A first bore is located adjacent the proximal end and extends through the proximal end and transversely intersects the longitudinal axis, and serves to accommodate a femoral head screw. The center axis of the first bore forms an angle with the longitudinal axis that ranges from 110° to 150°. A second bore is located between the first bore and the proximal end and extends through the proximal end and transversely intersects the longitudinal axis, and serves to accommodate a hip pin. The second bore is at least partially shaped as an oblong hole or slot with a width B and a length L>B, and the length L of the oblong hole extends in the direction of the longitudinal axis.

This invention relates to a coupling for an orthopaedic device. Also disclosed in an orthopaedic device comprising a coupling of the invention and method for the use of the orthopaedic device. The orthopaedic device finds utility as a bolt apparatus for fixation of bones such as fractures of the femur, although it may be used in any suitable bone.

The invention relates to a reset position detection method with patient safety protection, which solves the technical problem of how to prevent the collision between the proximal end and the distal end of the fracture to ensure the safety of the patient, and is applied in the process of femoral fracture reduction performed by an orthopedic surgical robot , the reset system fixes the distal end of the femur, and plans the reset path according to the mirror image of the unaffected side. During the simulated reset process, the above algorithm performs collision judgment to avoid the risk of collision.

The invention discloses a customized far-end dissect type bone plate design method based on patient femur parameters; the method comprises the following steps: leading in a patient fracture model, and measuring effective femur model parameters; using the effective femur parameters to build up a patient femur curved surface characteristic model, projecting a main fracture line to the femur model, restoring main fracture traces, and building up a femur fracture reset curved surface model; drafting a customized contour sketch on a femur sagittal surface, projecting the contour to the femur reset model, obtaining a local curved surface to form a femur binding surface, parameterizing the binding surface contour, and building up mapping between the femur parameters and the binding surface parameters; extending the binding surface outwards at unequal pitchs in a sagittal surface direction so as to build up a bone plate entity, defining entity characteristics, building up mapping between the binding surface and entity characteristic parameters, and forming bone plate characteristics; leading out the characteristics so as to generate a customized bone plate. The customized far-end dissect type bone plate design method uses patient femur parameters to directly and accurately build up the customized dissect type bone plate, can fast generate a same kind bone plate according to parametric modification, thus providing important meanings for customized design of the patient bone plate in a bone surgery.
