Reusable surgical guide for osteosynthesis surgery in particular of the hallux valgus
The present invention concerns a reusable surgical guide for osteosynthesis surgery, forming an aimer for guiding and inserting axial wires into bone portions; said guide comprises a grip constituted by a head extending at the upper end of a base, a trigger adapted to be displaced in a first slide formed in the head of the grip and whose distal end is provided with a through hole for the insertion of a wire, a blade secured to the distal end of the head of the grip, under the trigger, and a so-called aiming piece adapted to be displaced in a second slide formed in the base of the grip, said aiming piece comprising at the distal end thereof means for supporting at least one wire.
1. A reusable surgical guide for osteosynthesis surgery, the reusable surgical guide forming an aimer for guiding and inserting axial wires into bone portions, the reusable surgical guide comprising:
a grip comprising:
a base, and
a head that is attached to an end of the base and extends along a longitudinal axis from a proximal end to a distal end, the head including a first slide extending in a direction from the proximal end to the distal end of the head;
a slidable member adapted to slide in the first slide along the direction from the proximal end to the distal end of the head of the grip, wherein the slidable member comprises a distal end that includes a through hole for insertion of a wire, and an axis of the through hole in the distal end of the slidable member is transverse to the longitudinal axis;
a blade secured to the distal end of the head of the grip and extending in continuation of the head along a direction that is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the head, the blade being secured adjacent to the slidable member; and
an aiming piece adapted to be displaced in a second slide formed in the base of the grip, said aiming piece comprising at a distal end thereof at least one sleeve for supporting at least one wire.
2. The surgical guide according to claim 1 , wherein the base has a circular-arc shape having a concavity directed towards the distal end of the head of said grip.
3. The surgical guide according to claim 2 , wherein the base of the grip comprises a flat surface and two bent parallel branches, each bent parallel branch including at least two through holes, extending opposite one another in pairs.
4. The surgical guide according to claim 1 , wherein the aiming piece has a circular-arc shape.
5. The surgical guide according to claim 1 , wherein the aiming piece has an aperture extending substantially from a proximal end to the distal end of the aiming piece, said aperture enabling passage of screws cooperating with holes in bent branches of the grip.
6. The surgical guide according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one sleeve has an axis that extends in a sagittal plane of the surgical guide and in a direction towards a distal end of the blade, said at least one sleeve being adapted to receive a barrel for aiming the at least one wire.
7. The surgical guide according to claim 6 , wherein the at least one sleeve includes a longitudinal slot, said longitudinal slot extending in the sagittal plane of said surgical guide.
8. The surgical guide according to claim 6 , wherein the at least one sleeve includes a first through hole and a second through hole that is parallel to the first through hole, the first through hole and the second through hole having axes that extend in the sagittal plane of the surgical guide and in the direction towards the distal end of the blade, the first through hole being adapted to receive a first barrel for aiming a first wire, and the second through hole being adapted to receive a second barrel for aiming a second wire.
9. The surgical guide according to claim 1 , wherein the slidable member comprises a measuring graduation.
10. The surgical guide according to claim 1 , wherein said blade has an L-like general shape and comprises:
a proximal portion extending parallel to the head of the grip and including a longitudinal aperture, and
a distal portion adapted to bear on an epiphysis of a metatarsus.
11. The surgical guide according to claim 1 , wherein said blade has a rectilinear shape and comprises a proximal portion extending parallel to the head of the grip and including a longitudinal aperture.
12. The surgical guide according to claim 1 , further comprising a means for pulling the slidable member.
13. The surgical guide according to claim 12 , wherein the means for pulling the slidable member comprises a screw, the screw including a first end that cooperates with said slidable member and an opposite end that is provided with a knob.
14. The surgical guide according to claim 1 , wherein the blade extends from the distal end of the head in a distal direction in continuation of the head.
15. The surgical guide according to claim 14 , wherein the proximal end of the head is attached to the end of the base.
16. The surgical guide according to claim 1 , wherein an opening to the first slide is formed in the distal end of the head such that the slidable member can slide in a distal direction along the longitudinal axis to extend beyond the distal end of the head in the distal direction.
17. A reusable surgical guide for osteosynthesis surgery, the reusable surgical guide forming an aimer for guiding and inserting axial wires into bone portions, the reusable surgical guide comprising:
a grip comprising a head extending at an end of a base, the head extending along a longitudinal axis from a proximal end to a distal end;
a slidable member adapted to be displaced in a first slide formed in the head of the grip, wherein the slidable member comprises a distal end that includes a through hole for insertion of a wire, and an axis of the through hole in the distal end of the slidable member is transverse to the longitudinal axis;
a blade secured to the distal end of the head of the grip and extending in continuation of the head, the blade being secured adjacent to the slidable member, the blade being stationary in relation with the head when the blade is secured to the head; and
an aiming piece adapted to be displaced in a second slide formed in the base of the grip, said aiming piece comprising at a distal end thereof at least one sleeve for supporting at least one wire.
18. A reusable surgical guide for osteosynthesis surgery, the reusable surgical guide forming an aimer for guiding and inserting axial wires into bone portions, the reusable surgical guide comprising:
a grip comprising a head extending at an end of a base, the head extending along a longitudinal axis from a proximal end to a distal end;
a slidable member adapted to be displaced in a first slide formed in the head of the grip, wherein the slidable member comprises a distal end that includes a through hole for insertion of a wire, and an axis of the through hole in the distal end of the slidable member is transverse to the longitudinal axis;
a blade secured to the distal end of the head of the grip and extending in continuation of the head, the blade being secured adjacent to the slidable member; and
