Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device that has been specially designed to establish a stiffening bridge between the arm and the hand of a patient, in order to immobilize the wrist thereof, before a fracture or dislocation of said wrist, during the entire period of recovery in which the joint must be immobilized.
- the device is equally applicable to a single bone, such as the cube or the radius, in the case of a fracture of this type.
- the object of the invention is to allow easy positional regulation of the two fixator ends, in order that, once implanted on the patient's arm and hand, the relevant regulations can be made so that the relative position between these elements , at the wrist level, be the most suitable.
- Fixers are known for the aforementioned purpose, which are also located on the outside of the arm and which are based on the use of two pairs of nails or screws intended to be fixed to two bones or two parts of a bone, emerging outside the member where each couple of screws or nails receives a fixing block from which a bar emerges transversely, finished in turn in another block substantially distanced from the first, so that the two terminal blocks are joined together by a third bar, perpendicular to the previous ones, and fixed by prisoners, thus achieving an essentially rigid structure that stabilizes the two elements to be joined.
- this device basically fulfills its function satisfactorily when it is intended to immobilize the two portions of a fractured bone, such as the cube or the radius, its application is very complex, requiring great professional expertise, when it comes to immobilizing the hand to the arm, due to a wrist problem, since in the first case it is only necessary that the two sectors of the bone are aligned, in the second, depending on different types of injuries, the hand It must adopt different inclinations or orientations with respect to the forearm.
- the external fixator that the invention proposes solves in a completely satisfactory way the problem previously exposed, since it allows a perfect positional regulation between the two anatomical elements to be joined, after the insertion of the nails in them, and not only in sense of approach distancing but also in regard to their relative orientation.
- the fixator is structured from two supports, with holes for the passage of respective pairs of nails in the bone, collaborating with each of these supports a bushing and a screw-nut assembly in which said screw incorporates a head tending to the spherical and annular configuration, to allow passage through a bar that relates said support to a central articulator.
- the mentioned holes for the passage of the nails are opened laterally, by means of a narrow groove, which closes causing the fixation of the support to the nails when the screw-nut assembly is tightened, in which the spherical head of the screw is tightened substantially fits in the intermediate bushing, against which the bar is pressed laterally, which is thus immobilized.
- the central articulator material izes in a rectangular die or prism, with two contrasted faces recessed for coupling of respective droppers, similar to the previous ones and communicated by a central hole in which a main nut is housed, with its two halves threaded in the opposite direction , so that the rotation of said nut in one direction causes the approximation of the two spherical and annular head screws associated therewith, and its rotation in the opposite direction a distancing maneuver.
- the die or body of the articulator incorporates a side window, which affects two contiguous faces at medium level, through which it is capable of accessing the main nut a plug-in rod in holes centered on each of the faces of the main nut, so that a tilting of said rod causes the complementary nut to rotate.
- a second bar is set, finished in turn on a second support identical to the first.
- the distance between the two extreme supports is adjustable at will depending on the areas of the bars through which they are fixed to the central articulator, in the clamping thereof, to the Once said bars can form any angulation, since they are tilting on the central articulator when it is in a situation of loosening, keeping the chosen angular position perfectly stable when the definitive tightening of the same is carried out.
- fixative not only ensures greater mechanical stability, but also allows the use of plastic materials to obtain certain parts thereof, with the consequent lowering of costs involved.
- Figure 1. Shows an exploded perspective view of an external wrist fixator made in accordance with the object of the present invention.
- Figure 2. Shows a detail in section of the central articulator that participates in said device.
- Figure 3. Shows a detail in cross section of one of the bushings that also participate in the fixator.
- Figure 4.- Shows a sectional detail of one of the ball and ring head screws.
- Figure 5. Shows a cross-sectional detail of one of the nail fixing brackets.
- Figure 6 shows, finally, an example of practical use of the fixator, coupled to the forearm and the hand of a patient, according to a perspective view.
- the external wrist fixator that the invention proposes is constituted from a central articulator (1) materialized in a basically prismatic-quadrangular body, tending to an exaggeration, which incorporates two opposing faces two recesses (2), in the form of a cylindrical segment, intended for engagement with the possibility of tilting two bushes (3), in turn in the form of a cylindrical segment, the said recesses (2) related to each other by means of a central hole (4), in which a main nut (5) is provided with the possibility of turning centered on its faces of two blind holes (6), accessible nut, for example with a small pin, with the collaboration of a side window (7) established at the mid-level of the articulator block (1), open towards two adjacent faces thereof, as seen in Figure 1.
- This nut (5) has the special feature that its interior has its two threaded halves in the opposite direction, so that the displacement in the direction of approach or distancing of two lateral screws (8-8 '), provided with a bulky one, occurs simultaneously head (9) tending to the spherical and annular configuration, to allow the passage through its respective cylindrical bars (10-10 ').
- the bushings (3-3 ') equipped with a slotted hole (11) to allow its tilting in addition to the passage through the screws (8), incorporate a wide recess (12) in the form of a spherical cap, as observed especially in Figure 3, intended to partially penetrate the annular and spherical head (9) of the screws (8-8 '), so that in the tightening limit situation not only are said screws immobilized but also the bars (10) that pass through the heads (9), are strongly pressed against the prismatic body of the articulator (1), being immobilized.
- said bars (10-10 ') cross the spherical and annular heads (13) of another pair of screws (14-14') identical to the previous ones, which and with the collaboration of respective bushings (15- 15 '), also identical to the previous ones (3-3'), are fixed to respective supports (16-16 '), in this case with the collaboration of conventional nuts (17-17'), so that the bars ( 10-10 ') are in turn immobilized also, in a timely manner, to such supports (16-16 ').
- the fixator allows the bars (10-10 ') to adopt any angulation necessary to transmit this to the wrist, and this after having inserted the nails (19) in the bone, but it may be the case that this angular regulation between bars is not necessary, such as when it comes to the fracture of a bone at the level of the forearm, in which case the possibility has been foreseen of using a single bar (10), which logically makes the use of the central articulator (1) unnecessary, and in which case the ends of said bar are simply mounted on respective spherical and annular head screw assemblies (14-14 ') - bushing (15-15 ') - support (16-16').
