Abstract

Mechanical knee support which can be fitted to any operating table, with remote control, for knee arthroscopy. The invention allows remote operation of an extensible lever arm 2, fitted with a knee rest 3 placed in the popliteal fossa of the knee and with a removable thigh clamp 4. Since the lever 2 is extensible, it is possible to adjust it to the length of the femur of the patient, which makes it possible to have the support always placed in the popliteal fossa. The angulation of the knee can be adjusted very precisely; finally, with the manipulation being performed by using a lever 2, this mechanical operation eliminates any risk of infection during manipulation of the knee during arthroscopy. The device comprises a control box 1 remotely operating an extensible lever arm 2, fitted with a knee rest 3 in the popliteal fossa and a removable thigh clamp 4.

Description

La présente invention concerne un support de genou
mécanique, adaptable à toute table d'opération, à commande à
distance, pour arthroscopie du genou.The present invention relates to a knee support
mechanical, adaptable to any operating table, control to
distance, for knee arthroscopy.

L'appareil qui existait jusqu'à présent était un support de genou, adaptable aux tables d'opération, se déplaçant en hauteur et
latóralement ranuellerent. L'utilisation de cet appareil manuel
peut provoquer des fautes d'aseptie dans la mesure où
l'opérateur doit s'approcher du foyer opératoire pour soulever le
genou du patient. D'autre part la vitesse de montée et de descente
du genou n'est pas constante et l'angulctlon des articulations du
genou est nulle.The device which existed until now was a knee support, adaptable to operating tables, moving in height and
laterally ranuellerent. Use of this manual device
may cause aseptic faults since
the operator must approach the operating room to lift the
patient's knee. On the other hand the speed of ascent and descent
of the knee is not constant and the angulctlon of the joints of the
knee sucks.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à ces
inconvénients. II comporte un boitier de commande faisant
fonctionner , à distance, un bras de levier extensible, muni d'un
repose genou dans le creux poplité.The device according to the invention overcomes these
disadvantages. It has a control box making
operate, remotely, an extendable lever arm, provided with a
knee rest in the popliteal cavity.

Le levier étant extensible, il est possible de le régler à
la longueur du fémur du patient, ce qui permet d'avoir le support
toujours plané dans le creux poplité L'angulation du genou peut
être ajusté de manière trés précise; enfin la manipulation s'effec
tuant par l'intermédiaire d'un levier, cette opération
mécanique élimine tout risque d'infection lors de la manipulation
du genou pendant l'arthroscopie
La fabrication de ce dispositif est faite à partir de
plaque d'aluminium et de tubes d'acier. The lever being extendable, it is possible to adjust it to
the length of the patient's femur, which provides support
always hovering in the popliteal fossa The knee angulation can
be adjusted very precisely; finally the handling is done
killing by means of a lever, this operation
mechanical eliminates any risk of infection during handling
knee during arthroscopy
The manufacturing of this device is made from
aluminum plate and steel tubes.

Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention;
La figure 1 représente le dispositif complet et prêt à être
fixé sur une table d'opération grâce au boitier(l) de commande qui
fait fonctionner un bras de levier(2) extensible muni d'un repose
genou(3) placé dans le creux poplité du genou et d'un serre-cuisse
(4) amovible. La pontée et la descente s'effectuent à distance par
l'intermédiaire d'une manivelle (5) située loin du foyer
opératoire. II est possible de régler l'appareil à la longueur du
fémur du patient grâce au levier extensible(2) De plus il est
possible d'éloigner la manivelle(5) du boitier < l) en fonction de la
longueur de la table d'opération et cela grâce à la commande téléscopique(6). The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention;
Figure 1 shows the complete device and ready to be
fixed on an operating table thanks to the control box (l) which
operates an extendable lever arm (2) provided with a rest
knee (3) placed in the popliteal cavity of the knee and a thigh clamp
(4) removable. The decking and descent is done remotely by
via a crank (5) located far from the hearth
operative. It is possible to adjust the device to the length of the
patient's femur thanks to the extendable lever (2) In addition it is
possible to move the crank (5) away from the housing <l) according to the
length of the operating table thanks to the telescopic control (6).

Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement adapté
au support du genou lors d'une arthroscopie. The device according to the invention is particularly suitable
at the knee support during an arthroscopy.
