Detailed Description
The invention is further described below with reference to the following figures and specific examples.
The device for accurately measuring and matching the titanium spinal rod before implantation shown in fig. 1 to 3 comprises two support arms 1 and a bolt 2, wherein each support arm 1 is in an inverted L shape, a long slotted hole 111 extending along the length direction is formed in the side surface of an upper transverse part 11 of each support arm 1, and a straight convex rod 14 used for being inserted and fixed to the head of a spinal screw is extended from the bottom end of a lower vertical part 12 of each support arm 1; the diameter of the bolt 2 is matched with the width of the long slotted hole 111, and the bolt 2 sequentially penetrates through the long slotted holes 111 of the two support arms 1 and is screwed with a nut 3 at the tail end of the bolt 2 to tightly press and fix the two support arms 1. The side of the upper cross part 11 of the arm 1, which is provided with a slotted hole, is provided with a frosted convex pattern for increasing friction, and the bottom side of the head of the bolt 2 is provided with a convex pattern for increasing friction (not shown, but the structure can be understood by those skilled in the art). The bottom end of the lower vertical part 12 of the arm 1 is provided with a flat widening 13 which is easy to grip, and the widening 13 extends along the side plane of the arm.
In the specific dimension, the length of the upper transverse part 11 of the support arm 1 is 10cm, the width is 10mm, the thickness is 6mm, the length of the upper slotted hole 111 is 8cm, and the width is 6 mm; the length of the lower vertical part 12 of the support arm 1 is 15cm, the width is 1cm, and the thickness is 6 mm. The widening 13 is widened by 3mm at both sides relative to the lower vertical part 12, and the length is 1 cm. The bolt 2 and the nut 3 are respectively a butterfly bolt and a butterfly nut. The straight convex rod 14 is a hexagonal protrusion, and the length and the diameter of the protrusion are the same as those of the groove at the head of the vertebral screw. The diameter of the butterfly bolt is 5mm, and the length of the butterfly bolt is 20 mm.
The use process comprises the following steps:
1. after the tail lobe of the head of the spinal screw is exposed, a straight convex rod 14 of a support arm 1 is directly inserted into a hexagonal groove of the head of the spinal screw until the support arm 1 does not swing;
2. in the same way, the straight convex rod 14 of the other support arm 1 is fixed;
3. jointing the long slotted holes 111 of the two support arms 1, and locking by matching butterfly bolts with nuts;
4. the measuring device is taken out as a whole, and the distance between the farthest points of the two widening parts 13 is measured, and the length is the length of the titanium rod. And then cutting the titanium rod according to the length, and then bending the titanium rod to install and lock the titanium rod.
The advantages of using this embodiment are:
1. compared with the prior art, the length of the titanium rod is measured by using a mold rod; the influence of the angle of the screw on the length of the titanium rod is considered, and the length of the titanium rod can be more finely cut.
2. The existing mold rod measurement needs to use a stripper to block soft tissues such as muscles and the like, so that the visual field is fully exposed, and the soft tissues are possibly damaged. This embodiment requires only the soft tissue above the nut to be kept off.
3. When the traditional mold rod is used for measurement, the tail end of the mold rod is judged inaccurately because of the swinging of the tail blade of the universal screw, so that the measurement error of the length of the mold rod is large. The straight convex rod 14 of the embodiment is directly inserted into the groove at the head part of the vertebral screw, the length of the titanium rod is not needed to be judged through the edge of the tail lobe, and the influence caused by the swinging of the tail lobe of the universal screw is ignored.
While the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed, but is capable of numerous equivalents and substitutions, all of which are within the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
