 図31に示すように、髄腔103aに設置された髄内釘10には、新生骨の髄内釘内部の侵入を防止し、髄内釘を抜去時に抜去器を接続する為のエンドキャップ20が嵌められる。まず、図1~図4を参照して、髄内釘10に使用するエンドキャップ20は、一方の端部21に、一方の端部の表面22からエンドキャップ20の軸方向に延在する、半径方向に弾性のある1以上の突出部23を備える。図の実施形態では突出部23は2箇所である。1以上の突出部23の先端は、エンドキャップ20の半径方向に突出した第1の凸部24を備える。図の実施形態では、第1の凸部24は2箇所である。髄内釘10の一方の端部11に設けられた穴部12にエンドキャップ20を挿入すると、第1の凸部24が穴部の一部13と係合するようにされる。これにより、熟練を要さずとも簡単にエンドキャップ20を髄内釘10に嵌めることが出来る。係合した際に、パチッというような音を生じさせて聴覚で係合したことを認識させることもできる。図の実施形態では、穴部12は例えば中ぐり加工で設けられており、穴部の一部13は穴の軸方向に垂直方向の直径が他の部分の直径より一段と大きく形成されており、ここに、第1の凸部24が係合することになる。穴部の一部13の構造は、第1の凸部24が係合する構造であれば、どのような構造であってもよい。ここで、エンドキャップ20の材質は、通常チタン合金であるが、金属やポリマーを含む手術用グレードの材料であればどのような材料でもよい。1以上の突出部23の先端及び第1の凸部24は、金属やポリマーを含む生体適合性材料であってもよい。 As shown in FIG. 31, the end cap 20 for preventing the invasion of the inside of the intramedullary nail of the new bone into the intramedullary nail 10 installed in the medullary cavity 103a and connecting the remover when the intramedullary nail is removed. Is fitted. First, referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, the end cap 20 used for the intramedullary nail 10 extends to one end 21 in the axial direction of the end cap 20 from the surface 22 of the one end. It comprises one or more protrusions 23 that are elastic in the radial direction. In the embodiment shown in the figure, there are two protrusions 23. The tip of one or more protruding portions 23 includes a first convex portion 24 protruding in the radial direction of the end cap 20. In the embodiment of the figure, there are two first convex portions 24. When the end cap 20 is inserted into the hole 12 provided in one end 11 of the intramedullary nail 10, the first convex portion 24 is made to engage with a part 13 of the hole. As a result, the end cap 20 can be easily fitted to the intramedullary nail 10 without requiring skill. When engaged, it is also possible to make a clicking sound to recognize the engagement by hearing. In the embodiment of the figure, the hole portion 12 is provided by, for example, boring, and the diameter of a part 13 of the hole portion in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the hole is formed to be one step larger than the diameter of the other portion. Here, the first convex portion 24 is engaged. The structure of a part 13 of the hole portion may be any structure as long as it is a structure in which the first convex portion 24 is engaged. Here, the material of the end cap 20 is usually a titanium alloy, but any material may be used as long as it is a surgical grade material containing a metal or a polymer. The tip of one or more protrusions 23 and the first protrusion 24 may be a biocompatible material containing a metal or polymer.
 エンドキャップ20の一方の端部21の外周は、髄内釘10の一方の端部11に設けられた1以上の外周溝部14に嵌るように形成された1以上の第2の凸部26をさらに備える。図の実施形態では、外周溝部14は2箇所であり、第2の凸部26も2箇所である。2箇所の第2の凸部26が、対応する2箇所の外周溝部14に嵌ると、そのクリック感で、感覚的に、エンドキャップ20と髄内釘10とが確実に接続されていることを確認できる。次に、図9を参照すると、エンドキャップ20のバリエーションが示されている。使用する髄内釘10に応じて適切な長さのエンドキャップ20を選択する。 The outer circumference of one end 21 of the end cap 20 has one or more second convex portions 26 formed so as to fit into one or more outer peripheral groove portions 14 provided on one end 11 of the intramedullary nail 10. Further prepare. In the embodiment shown in the figure, the outer peripheral groove portion 14 has two locations, and the second convex portion 26 also has two locations. When the two second convex portions 26 are fitted into the corresponding two outer peripheral groove portions 14, it is sensuously that the end cap 20 and the intramedullary nail 10 are securely connected by the click feeling. You can check it. Next, with reference to FIG. 9, variations of the end cap 20 are shown. Select an end cap 20 of appropriate length according to the intramedullary nail 10 used.
 さらに、図5~図8を参照して、エンドキャップ20の他方の端部27はねじ部28をさらに備える。これにより、ねじ部に長手部材30をねじにより接続するで、骨折部位から離れた位置から、髄内釘10にエンドキャップ20を嵌めることが出来る。 Further, referring to FIGS. 5 to 8, the other end portion 27 of the end cap 20 further includes a threaded portion 28. As a result, by connecting the longitudinal member 30 to the threaded portion with a screw, the end cap 20 can be fitted to the intramedullary nail 10 from a position away from the fractured portion.
 この長手部材30は、エンドキャップ20の他方の端部27のねじ部28に係合するねじ部31を一方の端部に備える、エンドキャップ挿入器具30であってもよい。ねじ部28が雌ねじであれば、ねじ部31は雄ねじとなり、ねじ部28が雄ねじであれば、ねじ部31は雌ねじとなる。エンドキャップ挿入器具30の材質は、通常ステンレススチール465であるが、これ以外の金属やポリマーを含む生体適合性材料であってもよい。 The longitudinal member 30 may be an end cap insertion device 30 having a threaded portion 31 engaged with a threaded portion 28 of the other end 27 of the end cap 20 at one end. If the threaded portion 28 is a female thread, the threaded portion 31 is a male thread, and if the threaded portion 28 is a male thread, the threaded portion 31 is a female thread. The material of the end cap insertion device 30 is usually stainless steel 465, but it may be a biocompatible material containing other metals or polymers.
 また、エンドキャップ20を係合可能な穴部12を一方の端部11に備える髄内釘10を提供する。これにより、熟練を要さずとも簡単にエンドキャップを髄内釘に嵌めることが出来る。このことは、エンドキャップ20と髄内釘10との組み合わせにより、最も適切に達成可能である。もちろん、髄内釘10には、上述したような穴部の一部13や1以上の外周溝部14を備えてもよい。 Also provided is an intramedullary nail 10 having a hole 12 with which the end cap 20 can be engaged at one end 11. This makes it possible to easily fit the end cap into the intramedullary nail without the need for skill. This is most appropriately achievable with the combination of the end cap 20 and the intramedullary nail 10. Of course, the intramedullary nail 10 may be provided with a partial portion 13 of the hole portion or one or more outer peripheral groove portions 14 as described above.
 図24は、髄内釘10、髄内釘挿入器具40、髄内釘挿入器具ロック60、コンプレッションスリーブ115を組み立てる段階を示す図である。まず、図10、図11を参照して、髄内釘10に使用する髄内釘挿入器具40は、一方の端部41に、一方の端部の表面42から髄内釘挿入器具40の軸方向に延在する、半径方向に弾性のある1以上の突出部43を備える。図の実施形態では突出部43は2箇所である。1以上の突出部43の先端は、髄内釘挿入器具40の半径方向に突出した第1の凸部44を備える。図の実施形態では、第1の凸部44は2箇所である。髄内釘10の一方の端部11に設けられた穴部12に髄内釘挿入器具40を挿入すると、第1の凸部44が穴部の一部13と係合するようにされる。これにより、熟練を要さずとも簡単に髄内釘挿入器具40を髄内釘10に嵌めることが出来る。係合した際に、パチッというような音を生じさせて聴覚で係合したことを認識させることもできる。図の実施形態では、穴部12は例えば中ぐり加工で設けられており、穴部の一部13は穴の軸方向に垂直方向の直径が他の部分の直径より一段と大きく形成されており、ここに、第1の凸部44が係合することになる。穴部の一部13の構造は、第1の凸部44が係合する構造であれば、どのような構造であってもよい。ここで、髄内釘挿入器具40の材質は、通常ステンレススチール465であるが、金属やポリマーを含む手術用グレードの材料であればどのような材料でもよい。一方の端部41、一方の端部の表面42、1以上の突出部43、第1の凸部44、外周45の形状を、それぞれ、エンドキャップ20の一方の端部21、一方の端部の表面22、1以上の突出部23、第1の凸部24、外周25の形状と同じ形状にすると、これらは同じ髄内釘10に使用するので、都合がよい。 FIG. 24 is a diagram showing a stage of assembling an intramedullary nail 10, an intramedullary nail insertion device 40, an intramedullary nail insertion device lock 60, and a compression sleeve 115. First, referring to FIGS. 10 and 11, the intramedullary nail insertion device 40 used for the intramedullary nail 10 is attached to one end 41 and the axis of the intramedullary nail insertion device 40 from the surface 42 of one end. It comprises one or more projecting portions 43 that extend in the direction and are elastic in the radial direction. In the embodiment shown in the figure, there are two protrusions 43. The tip of one or more protrusions 43 includes a first protrusion 44 that protrudes in the radial direction of the intramedullary nail insertion device 40. In the embodiment of the figure, there are two first convex portions 44. When the intramedullary nail insertion device 40 is inserted into the hole 12 provided at one end 11 of the intramedullary nail 10, the first convex portion 44 is made to engage with a part 13 of the hole. Thereby, the intramedullary nail insertion device 40 can be easily fitted to the intramedullary nail 10 without requiring skill. When engaged, it is also possible to make a clicking sound to recognize the engagement by hearing. In the embodiment of the figure, the hole portion 12 is provided by, for example, boring, and the diameter of a part 13 of the hole portion in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the hole is formed to be one step larger than the diameter of the other portion. Here, the first convex portion 44 is engaged. The structure of a part 13 of the hole portion may be any structure as long as it is a structure in which the first convex portion 44 is engaged. Here, the material of the intramedullary nail insertion instrument 40 is usually stainless steel 465, but any material may be used as long as it is a surgical grade material containing a metal or a polymer. The shape of one end 41, the surface 42 of one end 42, one or more protrusions 43, the first convex portion 44, and the outer circumference 45, respectively, is the shape of one end 21 of the end cap 20 and one end, respectively. It is convenient to have the same shape as the surface 22, one or more protrusions 23, the first convex portion 24, and the outer peripheral 25 because they are used for the same intramedullary nail 10.
 髄内釘挿入器具40は、一方の端部41の外周45に、髄内釘10の一方の端部11に設けられた外周溝部14に嵌るように形成された1以上の第2の凸部46を備える。図の実施形態では、1以上の外周溝部14は2箇所であり、第2の凸部46も2箇所である。2つの第2の凸部46が、対応する2箇所の外周溝部14に嵌ると、そのクリック感で、感覚的に、髄内釘挿入器具40と髄内釘10とが確実に接続されていることを確認できる。第2の凸部46の形状を、エンドキャップ20の第2の凸部26の形状と同じ形状にすると、これらは同じ髄内釘10に使用するので都合がよい。 The intramedullary nail insertion device 40 has one or more second convex portions formed on the outer peripheral 45 of one end 41 so as to fit into the outer peripheral groove 14 provided on the one end 11 of the intramedullary nail 10. 46 is provided. In the embodiment of the figure, one or more outer peripheral groove portions 14 are at two locations, and the second convex portion 46 is also at two locations. When the two second convex portions 46 are fitted into the corresponding two outer peripheral groove portions 14, the intramedullary nail insertion device 40 and the intramedullary nail 10 are sensuously and securely connected by the click feeling. You can confirm that. If the shape of the second convex portion 46 is the same as the shape of the second convex portion 26 of the end cap 20, it is convenient because they are used for the same intramedullary nail 10.
 次に、図12を参照して、髄内釘挿入器具40は、他方の端部47に髄内釘挿入器具ハンドルとの接続部48をさらに備える。これにより骨折部位から離れた位置であっても、的確に髄内釘10を髄腔103aに配置することが出来る。髄内釘挿入器具ハンドル50は、貫通孔51と髄内釘挿入器具ロックとの係合箇所52を備え、貫通孔51に髄内釘挿入器具40の髄内釘挿入器具ハンドルとの接続部48を挿入することにより髄内釘挿入器具ハンドル50を髄内釘挿入器具40に接続可能である。髄内釘挿入器具ロックとの係合箇所52については後述する。 Next, referring to FIG. 12, the intramedullary nail insertion device 40 further includes a connection portion 48 with the intramedullary nail insertion device handle at the other end 47. As a result, the intramedullary nail 10 can be accurately placed in the medullary cavity 103a even at a position away from the fracture site. The intramedullary nail insertion device handle 50 includes an engagement portion 52 between the through hole 51 and the intramedullary nail insertion device lock, and the connection portion 48 between the through hole 51 and the intramedullary nail insertion device handle of the intramedullary nail insertion device 40. The intramedullary nail insertion device handle 50 can be connected to the intramedullary nail insertion device 40 by inserting. The engagement portion 52 with the intramedullary nail insertion device lock will be described later.
 さらに、図13を参照して、髄内釘挿入器具40は、長手方向に延在する貫通孔49をさらに備え、髄内釘挿入器具ロック60が貫通孔49に挿入される。これにより、髄内釘挿入器具40の軸方向に延在する、半径方向に弾性のある1以上の突出部43が半径方向に弾性変形することを防ぎ、髄内釘10から髄内釘挿入器具40が不意に外れることを防止することが出来る。すなわち、髄内釘挿入器具ロック60が貫通孔49を延在することにより、髄内釘挿入器具ロック60のつまみ61とは反対側の端部が、半径方向に弾性のある1以上の突出部43を越えて延在することにより、髄内釘挿入器具ロック60が、突出部43の半径方向の変形を防ぐため、第1の凸部44と髄内釘10の穴部の一部13との係合が保持されたままとなる。髄内釘挿入器具ロック60は、髄内釘挿入器具ハンドルとの係合箇所62を備えており、この髄内釘挿入器具ハンドルとの係合箇所62を、髄内釘挿入器具ロックとの係合箇所52のスリットに入れて、時計回りに回転させて、髄内釘挿入器具40と係合させることにより、髄内釘挿入器具40が、髄内釘10に嵌った状態が保たれる。 Further, referring to FIG. 13, the intramedullary nail insertion device 40 further includes a through hole 49 extending in the longitudinal direction, and the intramedullary nail insertion device lock 60 is inserted into the through hole 49. This prevents one or more radially elastic protrusions 43 extending in the axial direction of the intramedullary nail insertion device 40 from elastically deforming in the radial direction, and prevents the intramedullary nail insertion device 10 from being elastically deformed. It is possible to prevent the 40 from coming off unexpectedly. That is, because the intramedullary nail insertion device lock 60 extends through the through hole 49, the end portion of the intramedullary nail insertion device lock 60 opposite to the knob 61 has one or more protrusions that are elastic in the radial direction. By extending beyond 43, the intramedullary nail insertion device lock 60 has a first convex portion 44 and a portion 13 of the hole portion of the intramedullary nail 10 in order to prevent radial deformation of the protruding portion 43. The engagement remains held. The intramedullary nail insertion device lock 60 includes an engagement point 62 with the intramedullary nail insertion device handle, and the engagement point 62 with the intramedullary nail insertion device handle is engaged with the intramedullary nail insertion device lock. The intramedullary nail insertion device 40 is kept fitted to the intramedullary nail 10 by inserting it into the slit of the joint portion 52 and rotating it clockwise to engage with the intramedullary nail insertion device 40.

It is a figure which shows the stage which arranges. With reference to FIGS. 10 and 14, the intramedullary nail insertion device 40 further comprises a connection 49a with a cross screw drill guide, thereby inserting a cross screw 119 that secures the intramedullary nail 10 to the bone. The connection portion 71 of the cross screw drill guide 70 with the intramedullary nail insertion device is attached to the connection portion 49a with the cross screw drill guide. The screw sleeve 116 and the drill sleeve 117 are screwed into the screw sleeve and the drill sleeve connection portion 72, a hole is made in the bone with the drill 118, and then the intramedullary nail 10 is fixed with the cross screw 119.
