Novel interface screw
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of medical instruments, in particular to a novel interface screw for fixing an anterior cruciate ligament of a knee joint.
Background
The interface screw is mainly used for fixing the transplanted ligament in a femoral bone tunnel or a tibial bone tunnel in the knee joint anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction operation.
The main body of the traditional interface screw is mostly bullet-shaped, the outer surface is wound with a plurality of circles of threads, and the thread profile is mostly semicircular, trapezoidal, triangular and the like. The thread tooth form is semi-circular, though can effectively avoid transplanting the ligament and receive too big shearing action and lead to the ligament to break at the in-process of interface screw in, nevertheless difficult the fixing in bone tunnel has great risk of droing, leads to the operation failure. The thread profile is triangular and although effective for fixation in bone tunnels, excessive shearing tends to cause ligament rupture. The thread tooth shape is a trapezoid interface screw tooth shape which is commonly used recently, the problem that the thread has shearing effect on transplanted ligaments and the fixing strength is compensated to a certain extent can be solved, but the fixing strength is still insufficient, and the interface screw still has the risk of falling off.
At present, the structure for fixing the interface screw is generally provided with a plurality of blind holes on the outer surface so as to induce the bone ingrowth around the bone passage after the implantation and solve the problem of postoperative loosening. However, the blind holes are too small, the fixing effect is weak, the blind holes are too large, and the thread structure is damaged, so that the screwing is difficult.
Disclosure of Invention
In view of the above, the present invention provides a novel interface screw, which solves the problem of stability improvement caused by the provision of a blind hole in the prior art, and the interface screw according to the present invention directly cancels the provision of the blind hole, and sets the hollow-out shape between the threads of the thread body, and further sets the main body support block between the adjacent threads to enhance the stability.
In order to solve the technical problems, the invention is realized by the following technical scheme:
the utility model provides a novel interface screw, includes interface screw main part, interface screw main part includes the screw thread body at screw afterbody, screw head and middle part, the first end of the screw thread body twines in screw head surface, the second end of the screw thread body connect in the screw afterbody, form a whole through the screw thread body with screw head and screw afterbody connection.
The alveolus between adjacent spiral teeth on the thread body is hollow, and is equipped with a plurality of main part supporting shoes dispersedly on the alveolus in order to connect adjacent spiral teeth, forms the fretwork hole on same alveolus between the adjacent main part supporting shoe, and the fretwork hole is convenient for the bone to be quick at the inside growth of interface screw, increases the fixed action of interface screw in bone tunnel, need not additionally to set up the blind hole. Furthermore, each tooth socket is provided with three main body supporting blocks in a circle, and the positions of the main body supporting blocks on the adjacent tooth sockets are staggered.
Cavities are formed in the head part and the tail part of the screw, and the cavities in the head part and the tail part of the screw are communicated with the inner cavity of the thread body along the axial direction of the interface screw body to form hollow holes of the interface screw body.
The hollow bore of the interface screw body is configured to be contoured to match an external screwdriver. The hollow hole is provided with a contour for matching with a special screwdriver. And also facilitates bone growth.
Preferably, the profile of the hollow hole comprises a plurality of convex edges and grooves between adjacent edges, wherein the edges forming the profile of the hollow hole on the screw body are formed by protruding the inner side surface of the main body supporting block, and the edges on the screw body are aligned with the edges of the tail part of the screw and the head part of the screw.
Preferably, the body supporting block is a columnar structure with a triangular-like cross section, and the diameter of the outer curved surface of the body supporting block is equal to the maximum diameter of the screw head.
Preferably, the profile of the hollow bore comprises five ribs and five grooves, the grooves being arranged obliquely in the direction of rotation of the screw.
Preferably, the tail part of the screw is cylindrical, and the diameter of the tail part of the screw is smaller than or equal to the maximum diameter of the thread body, so that the aim of reducing the resistance of final screwing is fulfilled.
Preferably, the pitch of the thread body is gradually reduced from the head of the screw to the tail of the screw, so that the thread of the interface screw body is sparse to dense from the head to the tail. Furthermore, the distance between the threads close to the head of the screw is larger, so that the shearing effect on the transplanted ligament is reduced, the distance between the threads close to the tail of the screw is smaller, and the fixing effect in a bone tunnel is increased.
Preferably, the thread shape of the thread body is not isosceles trapezoid, and the base angle α of the trapezoid corresponding to the tail side of the screw is larger than the base angle β of the trapezoid corresponding to the head side of the screw. The base angle alpha of one side of the trapezoid, corresponding to the tail part of the screw, is 45-95 degrees, and the base angle beta of one side of the trapezoid, corresponding to the head part of the screw, is 30-60 degrees. When the bottom angle alpha of one side of the tail part of the screw corresponding to the trapezoid is larger than 90 degrees, the tooth-shaped surface of the screw tooth of the screw body is in an inward inclined shape, and the screw tooth can play a role similar to an inverted buckle when the interface screw is screwed in after the ligament is transplanted, so that the fixing effect of the interface screw in the bone tunnel is improved.
The invention has the beneficial effects that:
the blind hole does not need to be additionally arranged, the bone can grow in the interface screw rapidly through the hollow hole formed by the thread body and the main body supporting block, the fixing effect of the interface screw in a bone tunnel is increased, the strength of the thread body part can be increased through the main body supporting block, and the screwing-in is convenient. The thread of the thread body can not generate overlarge shearing force when the screw is screwed in, ligaments can not be damaged, the thread shape of the thread body is in an unequal waist trapezoid shape, the fixation of the interface screw in a bone tunnel can be increased, and particularly when the base angle alpha is larger than 90 degrees, the screw can be fixed in the bone tunnel more strongly under the action of the back-off action generated by the thread.
