Problems solved by technology

However, the traditional fixator system is only suitable for static fixation, and cannot promote the load transfer between fractures by regulating the compression distance between broken bones during the healing process, so as to accelerate the healing of bone tissue

Embodiment Construction

[0025] Such as Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown, a dynamically adjustable unilateral external fixator mainly includes a driving gear sleeve (2), an upper stop clip (1), a lower stop clip (3), a needle (11), an upper Needle clamp (7), lower needle clamp (5), driving lever (4), driving lever clamp (6), driven sleeve gear (8), driven lever (9) and driven lever clamp (10) : Before the operation begins, first determine the insertion position of the needle on the tibia and drill the needle hole, then roughly adjust the position of the unilateral external fixator on the tibia so that the upper side needle clip (7) is aligned with the position of the needle hole, and place the needle ( 11) Insert the upper needle clip (7) and insert it into the drilled hole in the bone at the same time, then tighten the upper needle clip lower screw (26-1), the upper needle clip upper screw (26-2) and the upper needle Clamp the lower nut (27-1) and the upper nut of the upper needle clamp (27-2) so that th...

Abstract

The invention discloses a dynamically-adjustable unilateral external fixator. A driving gear sleeve is connected with upper and lower locking clamps through a driving rod, the driving gear sleeve is connected with a driven sleeve gear through an upper needle clamp, a driving rod clamp is connected with the driving rod, and the driving rod clamp is connected with a driven rod clamp through a lowerneedle clamp; the movement distance of the driving gear sleeve on the driving rod can be adjusted through rotation of the driving gear sleeve, so that the compression distance between broken bones canbe changed, and load transfer between the two broken bones can be controlled; the upper and lower locking clamps can fix the driving gear sleeve on the driving rod, so that compression movement of the broken bones can be controlled at any time, the driven sleeve gear positions the driving gear sleeve on the driven rod according to the position of the driving gear sleeve, the angles of the upper and lower needle clamps can be adjusted freely by the aid of ball pairs, and the rigidness of the unilateral external fixator formed by the driving rod and the driven rod can be improved. Dynamic and static integration of the compression movement function between the load and the broken bones is realized, and the design is simplified.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of orthopedic rehabilitation medical equipment, and in particular relates to a dynamically adjustable unilateral external fixator. Background technique [0002] Tibial fractures are a common orthopedic disorder with a high number. The traditional method of treating this disease is immobilization with plaster, traction or open reduction and internal fixation. The patient usually needs to stay in bed for three months, which often causes joint stiffness. With the development of external fixation technology, external fixation bracket has become one of the more important tools in orthopedic treatment and has been developed rapidly. Among them, the llizarov full-ring external fixator is more prominent, which is a major advancement in the field of bone external fixator technology. Llizarov's technology has also stimulated countless orthopedic surgeons' interest in learning, researching and applying external fixation technol...
