1 results about "Patella fracture" patented technology

This invention relates to a combined patellar fracture fixation device, comprising a Kirschner wire with threads at both ends, a tail cap, and a two-hole steel plate. The threaded Kirschner wire has a sharp end and a flat end, with an unthreaded middle section. The tail cap has a central channel connecting both ends of the Kirschner wire, with the thinner end embedded in the patellar bone. The two-hole steel plate has different widths at both ends; the wider end has a hole that connects to the tail cap, while the narrower end has a hole through which a tension band cable can pass. The Kirschner wire, tail cap, and steel plate are combined to form a patellar fracture fixation device, used in pairs. Connecting the cable creates a tension band for fixation. This invention offers better stability than traditional Kirschner wire tension band technology, effectively reducing the likelihood of loosening and displacement of the traditional Kirschner wire, the risk of cable slippage leading to tension band failure, and reducing the risk of irritation to surrounding tissues and skin puncture by the tail of the traditional Kirschner wire. This facilitates early postoperative functional exercises for patients, promotes patellar fracture healing, and provides a new and more effective fixation device for patellar fractures.
