5 results about "Lateral malleolus" patented technology

The lateral malleolus is a bony prominence on the fibula, one of the long bones that makes up the lower leg. The fibula is the narrowest of the long bones, situated on the outside of the leg, with this prominence creating the distinctive bump on the outside of the ankle. It is frequently involved in ankle fractures.

Orthotic system for stabilizing an ankle and a foot

The present disclosure is directed to an improved orthosis system for stabilizing an ankle and a foot of a user against undesired orientations and having a calf brace and a foot brace. The system uses first and second risers coupled to a foot section using a construction and configuration whereby the more the risers are deflected relative to the foot section, the more the system bias the risers toward their initial orientation relative to the foot section. To increase lateral stability, the first riser curves forward around at least a portion of a lateral malleolus of a user's ankle, while the second riser curves rearward and around at least a portion of a medial malleolus of the user's ankle. To increase forward and rearward stability, the foot section extends across at least half the length of the sole of a user's foot.

Lower limb support mat and upper limb support mat

To provide a lower limb holding mat capable of easily fixing a limb position and changing a body position with a simple structure, and preventing a bedsore and a peroneal nerve palsy in a head part of a fibula, a the lateral malleolus part or a heal part. It is another object of the present invention to provide an arm support mat which can prevent the occurrence of a decubitus ulcer at the elbow while stably supporting the arm during drip infusion, dialysis, or insertion of a catheter.SOLUTION: According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a leg support mat comprising: a mat body made of a resin pipe piece as a filler; a pair of tubular bag bodies having side portions sewn together in a longitudinal direction; and a window portion formed between a sewn portion of the side portions and a sewn portion of lower end edges of the tubular bag bodies. The structure of the upper limb support mat according to the present invention is substantially the same as that of the lower limb support mat, but is characterized in that a thumb support portion is further provided below the tubular bag body.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Ankle joint replacement joint fixing device based on 3D printing

PendingCN121550009AOperating tablesAnkle joint replacementLateral malleolus
The invention provides an ankle joint replacement joint fixing device based on 3D printing, and belongs to the technical field of medical instruments. The device comprises a bottom plate, an adjusting assembly, a foot fixing groove and a tibia fixing assembly, and a core structural part is integrally formed through 3D printing; during use, the foot is placed in the foot groove, the tibia is placed between the tibia fixing blocks, then the adjusting assembly drives the sliding block to move, the angle of the foot fixing groove is adjusted between-30 degrees and 52 degrees, then the first fixing piece is used for fixing the foot dorsum to prevent horizontal displacement, the second fixing piece and the third fixing piece are used for limiting the inner and outer ankles to prevent transverse displacement, and finally the rotating wheel is rotated to drive the lead screw. And the tibia is clamped and locked by the tibia fixing assembly within the range of 0-86mm. The problems that a traditional device is single in angle, unstable in fixation and long in manufacturing period are solved, the adaptability and operation accuracy of the device are improved, meanwhile, the production cost is reduced, and the production period is shortened.
