Clinical application of FST bone biting forceps

FST bone forceps are commonly used bone tissue processing instruments in precision surgery. With their precise cutting performance, diverse head designs, and specifications suitable for different surgical scenarios, they are widely used in orthopedics, neurosurgery, oral and maxillofacial surgery, and other fields, providing key support for the fine adjustment, shaping, and removal of bone tissue. They are particularly suitable for clinical scenarios that require high operational accuracy and narrow surgical space.

　　Orthopedics: The Core Tool for Joint Surgery and Trauma Repair

In orthopedic surgery, FST bone biting forceps are mainly used for fine treatment of bone tissue around joints and correction of post-traumatic bone deformities.

1. Joint replacement surgery: In knee and hip joint replacement surgery, it is necessary to trim the osteophyte and hypertrophic bone at the edge of the joint surface to ensure precise adaptation of the artificial prosthesis. The narrow end of the bone biting forceps can penetrate deep into the joint space, accurately bite off excess bone, avoid damaging surrounding ligaments, synovium and other soft tissues, and reduce the risk of postoperative joint movement restriction.

2. Reduction of traumatic fractures: For comminuted fractures (such as distal radius fractures and ankle fractures), if the fracture fragment has irregular edges or small bone fragments embedded in soft tissue, FST bone forceps can gently bite off the free bone fragments and repair the fracture ends, making the reduction of the fracture more fitting and creating good conditions for subsequent internal fixation (such as steel plate and screw fixation), reducing the probability of postoperative bone non union.

　　Neurosurgery: Key instruments for intracranial bone window preparation and bone flap repair

Neurosurgery requires high precision of instruments and tissue protection, and FST bone biting forceps have become an important choice for bone tissue treatment in intracranial surgery due to their slender tip and controllable cutting force.

1. Preparation of skull window for craniotomy surgery: In cranial injury or brain tumor resection surgery, it is necessary to prepare a skull window first to expose intracranial tissue. Bone biting forceps can be used in conjunction with wire saws and milling cutters to trim the edge of the skull window, remove sharp bone edges, avoid scratching the dura mater or brain tissue during surgery, and reduce postoperative complications such as headache and epidural hematoma caused by bone edge stimulation.

2. Spinal nerve decompression: For diseases such as lumbar disc herniation and cervical canal stenosis, if the osteophyte compresses the nerve roots or spinal cord, it is necessary to use bone biting forceps to accurately remove the hypertrophic bone at the posterior edge of the vertebral body and vertebral plate, expand the volume of the nerve root canal, relieve nerve compression, and effectively control the range of bone biting to avoid damaging the stable structure of the spine.

　　Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery: Jaw Shaping and Tooth Extraction Assistance

In the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery, FST bone biting forceps are mainly used for correcting jaw deformities and complex tooth extraction surgeries, suitable for the narrow operating space in the oral cavity.

1. Orthognathic surgery: In the correction of jaw deformities such as bimaxillary protrusion and mandibular retraction, osteotomy and shaping of the jawbone are required. The bone biting forceps can finely adjust the edge of the jawbone after osteotomy, making the jawbone shape more in line with physiological function and aesthetic needs, while ensuring a smooth osteotomy surface and promoting postoperative jawbone healing.

2. Complex tooth extraction surgery: For impacted wisdom teeth (especially horizontal and low impacted), if there is bone obstruction around the crown, a bone biting forceps are needed to remove part of the alveolar bone, expose the crown, reduce the difficulty of tooth extraction, minimize damage to adjacent teeth and gums, and shorten the postoperative recovery time.
