Single-shoulder adjustable clavicle fracture external fixator

Abstract

The invention discloses a single-shoulder adjustable external fixator for treating clavicle fracture, a part from an upper arm of an injured shoulder to the shoulder is sleeved by a sheath from the upper arm to the shoulder, the sheath and a body trunk are fastened tightly by a binding strap in a rotating way, backward and outward resultant forces are formed at the front of the injured shoulder so that the position of a locking part of the injured shoulder is fixed without change, therefore, the clavicle fracture is prevented from shifting, and the aim of fracture healing is achieved. As the single-shoulder adjustable external fixator adopts single-shoulder fixation, the nerve blood vessel compression of oxter is reduced, the patient pain is relieved, limbs of other health sides are liberated, the convenience is brought for patients in daily life, and the patients are easy to receive the treatment; and meanwhile, the patients can adjust and control the tightness degree of the single-shoulder gasbag external fixator by selves, therefore, the self-nursing motivation of the patients is improved. The external fixator is simple and easy to produce, simple in operation process and easy to popularize and develop.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a medical device, in particular to a single-shoulder adjustable clavicular fracture external fixator. Background technique [0002] Clavicle fracture is one of the common fractures, accounting for about 6% of all fractures in the whole body. It can occur in all age groups, but it is more common in young adults and children. The treatment is mainly based on non-surgical treatment.
