Thereby fixing the proximal steel ring and the root of the broken bone together. Therefore, the near-end steel ring in the embodiment does not need an auxiliary fixing piece, and does not need to be fixedly connected with external equipment such as a bedstead and the like.
The proximal steel ring and the distal steel ring are fixed together by a connecting rod, so that the proximal steel ring and the distal steel ring form a whole. The connecting rod passes through the position of adjusting the steel ring and passes through the arc-shaped hole of the adjusting ring, so that the adjusting steel ring is not influenced to rotate and adjust.
As shown in fig. 1, 2 and 4, a horizontal seat 702 is transversely installed at the top inside the arc-shaped hole of the adjusting ring, a horizontal flat hole 703 is axially arranged on the horizontal seat, a top fixing screw is transversely fixed at one side of the horizontal seat, and the top fixing screw is fixed by a top sliding nut after traversing the top of the arc-shaped hole of the adjusting ring. A vertical and flat seat 802 is transversely installed on the side part in the arc-shaped hole of the adjusting ring, a vertical and flat hole 803 is axially arranged on the vertical and flat seat, a side part fixing screw rod is transversely fixed on one side of the vertical and flat seat, and the side part fixing screw rod is fixed by a side part sliding nut after transversely penetrating through the side part of the arc-shaped hole of the adjusting ring.
An upper adjusting screw rod and a lower adjusting screw rod are vertically sleeved in the horizontal flat hole, and the lower end threads of the upper adjusting screw rod and the lower adjusting screw rod are screwed into the far end of the broken bone, so that the far end of the broken bone and the adjusting ring are fixed into a whole. The upper and lower adjusting screw rods are fixed in the transverse flat holes by the upper and lower locking wires, but the height of the upper and lower adjusting rods can be adjusted after the upper and lower locks are loosened.
In this embodiment, the means for tightening or separating the distance between the adjusting steel ring and the distal steel ring is that a pull rod seat is sleeved outside the upper and lower adjusting nail rods, as shown in fig. 10, and a pull rod is axially fixed on the pull rod seat. Meanwhile, a movable transverse baffle plate is stacked in parallel on the outer side of the distal steel ring as shown in fig. 1 and 3, and can freely slide. And the middle part of the movable transverse baffle is provided with a self-adjusting flat hole, the pull rod traverses the self-adjusting flat hole and is provided with a sliding nut, and the sliding nut can freely slide in the self-adjusting flat hole.
In this embodiment, a left and right adjusting rod 801 is vertically connected to the pull rod base, as shown in fig. 1 and 4, the left and right adjusting nail rod is fixed in the vertical flat hole of the vertical base by a left and right locking screw, a lateral fixing screw is transversely fixed on one side of the vertical base, and the lateral fixing screw is fixed by a lateral sliding nut after traversing through the arc-shaped hole of the adjusting ring.
In the use of the embodiment, the first step is as follows: the three steel rings penetrate through the broken bone area, the appropriate distance between the near-end steel ring and the far-end steel ring is adjusted, the near-end cross nail penetrates through the root of the broken bone, and then the near-end cross nail and the near-end steel ring are fixed together through the fixing piece, so that the root of the broken bone and the near-end steel ring are fixed and integrated. The second step is that: the up-down adjusting screw rod is screwed into the far end of the broken bone along the vertical direction, and the root 901 and the far end 902 of the broken bone are relative to the two ends of the bone seam, so that the far end of the broken bone and the adjusting steel ring are fixed and positioned into a whole. The third step: the sliding nut is screwed to pull the pull rod, so that the steel ring is adjusted to be close to the far-end steel ring, and the far end of the broken bone is separated from the root of the broken bone. The fourth step: the adjusting steel ring is rotated to adjust the bone seam angle of the broken bone to correspond, and the top sliding nut and the side sliding nut need to be loosened respectively at the moment, so that the top fixing screw rod and the side fixing nut can freely slide in the arc-shaped hole of the adjusting ring. When the adjusting steel ring is rotated, the movable transverse baffle can slide on the surface of the far-end steel ring, and the pull rod can slide in the self-adjusting flat hole after being connected with the sliding nut. And then the axial push-pull nuts on the connecting rod are rotated to enable the axial push-pull nuts to tightly press the adjusting steel ring. The tension applied to the adjustment steel ring and the distal steel ring is now transferred from the tension rods to the links. The fifth step: the upper locking wire, the lower locking wire, the left locking wire and the right locking wire are respectively adjusted to control the movement of the upper adjusting screw rod, the lower adjusting screw rod, the left adjusting rod and the right adjusting rod, so that the height translation adjustment and the left translation adjustment of the far end of the broken bone are controlled, the height is simultaneously adjusted, and the far end of the broken bone corresponds to the bone seam of the root of the broken bone. The step simultaneously requires that the top sliding nut and the side sliding nut are adjusted in a locking state, the roots of the screws on one sides of the horizontal seat and the vertical seat are respectively provided with a separation blade, the separation blade of the horizontal seat is matched and locked with the top sliding nut, and the separation blade of the vertical seat is matched and locked with the side sliding nut. And a sixth step: the axial push-pull nuts on the connecting rods are sequentially loosened, the upper locking wire, the lower locking wire, the left locking wire and the right locking wire are properly loosened, so that the adjusting steel ring is far away from the far-end steel ring, namely, the far end of the broken bone is gradually close to and butted with the root of the broken bone, and the restoration is realized. Then, the intramedullary nail or the reinforcing steel plate is implanted in the reduction state.
In order to improve the adjusting performance of the movable transverse baffle, the structure shown in fig. 7 is adopted, a flat chamfer slide 808 or a spherical concave chamfer slide is arranged at the edge of a self-adjusting flat hole in the middle of the movable transverse baffle, the inner side surface of the sliding nut is spherical, and the spherical surface is in surface contact with the flat chamfer slide or the spherical concave chamfer slide and can freely slide.
When rotating the regulation steel ring, for improving the free sliding performance of horizontal flat seat and vertical flat seat, adopt like the structure shown in fig. 5 and fig. 6, be located promptly adjusting the adjustable ring arc hole edge on the steel ring and being provided with the flat chamfer slide of arc concave chamfer slide or arc, the medial surface of top slip nut or lateral part slip nut is the sphere, and sphere and the flat chamfer slide of arc concave chamfer slide or arc surface contact of chamfer slide and can freely slide under the non-lock silk state.
In the last step of resetting, in order to improve the sliding performance of the upper and lower lock wires and the left and right lock wires, structures shown in fig. 8 and 9 are adopted, namely, the edges of the horizontal flat hole and the vertical flat hole which are positioned on the horizontal flat seat or the vertical flat seat are provided with arc-shaped concave chamfer slide ways or arc-shaped flat chamfer slide ways, the inner side surfaces of the upper and lower lock wires and the left and right lock wires are spherical surfaces (the positions can not be spherical surfaces), and the spherical surfaces are in surface contact with the arc-shaped concave chamfer slide ways or the arc-shaped flat chamfer slide ways and can freely slide in a non-lock wire state.
