Solution Overview
Problem
Current bone fracture reduction methods in medical technology rely on X-ray determination of bone position, which can be imprecise and labor-intensive, lacking a clear visual representation of the fracture alignment during the reduction process.
Innovation Solution
A fracture reduction system comprising a reduction device and a display device that use a bone model to visually represent the fracture bone's posture, allowing synchronous movement and adjustment based on detected movement data, enabling precise and intuitive reduction actions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If X-ray determination is used to determine bone position, then the fracture reduction can be performed, but the measurement precision and visual representation of bone alignment is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a physical three-dimensional bone model that copies the actual fracture bone's morphology and alignment status. This model serves as a tangible replica that can be visually inspected from multiple angles, providing complete spatial information without the limitations of two-dimensional X-ray images. The model includes accurate reproduction of fracture surfaces, displacement directions, and angular relationships.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention transitions from two-dimensional X-ray imaging to a three-dimensional physical model representation. This dimensional upgrade allows medical personnel to observe bone alignment issues from all angles in space, providing comprehensive visual information about fracture geometry, displacement vectors, and reduction requirements that cannot be obtained from planar radiographs.
2Ease of operation
If doctor's manipulation or temporary external fixation is used to adjust the reduction path, then the fracture reduction can be achieved, but the process is labor-intensive and lacks precision guidance
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables medical personnel to perform preliminary observation and planning using the three-dimensional bone model before actual reduction surgery. By studying the model in advance, doctors can determine the optimal reduction path, select appropriate fixation methods, and prepare necessary instruments, thereby reducing the complexity and improving precision of the actual surgical operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention establishes a feedback mechanism where the three-dimensional bone model provides visual confirmation of the fracture configuration and reduction progress. Medical personnel can compare the model's representation with the actual bone position during reduction, allowing real-time verification and adjustment to achieve precise alignment.
3Productivity
If traditional reduction methods are used, then the fracture can be reduced, but the difficulty of the procedure is high due to lack of visual guidance
Solution Approach 1:
The three-dimensional bone model allows for preliminary assessment and planning of the reduction procedure before surgery begins. Medical personnel can visualize the fracture geometry, plan the reduction sequence, and prepare appropriate fixation strategies in advance, thereby streamlining the surgical process and reducing operational difficulty.

AI summary
A fracture reduction system includes a reduction device for reducing a fracture bone to be reduced; and a display device for displaying a posture of the fracture bone to be reduced based on a bone model. The display device can cooperate with the reduction device so that the bone model moves synchronously with the fracture bone to be reduced. The posture of the fracture bone to be reduced is displayed based on the bone model, so that the medical staff can know the current posture of the fracture bone to be reduced according to the posture of the bone model and design corresponding reduction actions specifically according to the reduction conditions, so as to reduce the difficulty and increase the precision of fracture reduction.
