The device consists of an elastic component (1) and a fixing assembly (2, 3, 4). The elastic component (1) may be multiple strip-shaped elastic mesh pieces, and has the assembly direction being the same as the ligament fibers at the joint required to be fixed. The elastic modulus of the elastic component (1) matches the elastic modulus of the ligament fibers at the joint required to be fixed. Two ends of the elastic component (1) are fixedly connected to the dislocated joint by the fixing assembly (2, 3, 4). The elastic component (1) has the same shape as the ligament fibers at the joint required to be fixed. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A bionic elastic fixing device, comprising an elastic component (1) and a fixing assembly that fixedly connects the two ends of the elastic component (1) and the dislocated joint required to be fixed; wherein the said elastic component (1) is of strip-shaped, and its assembly direction is the same as the ligament fibers at the joint required to be fixed, an elastic modulus of the elastic component (1) matches the elastic modulus of the ligament fibers at the joint required to be fixed, the fixing assembly is fixedly mounted to the two ends of the elastic component (1). ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The bionic elastic fixing device according to claim 1, wherein the said elastic component (1) is multiple elastic cables, elastic mesh pieces or elastic bands. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The bionic elastic fixing device according to claim 2, wherein the length of the said elastic component (1) is the same as the length of ligament fiber at the joint required to be fixed, and the fixed points on two ends of elastic component (1) are the same as the growing points of the two ends of the ligament fiber; the width of the said elastic component (1) is the same as that of the ligament fiber at the joint required to be fixed. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The bionic elastic fixing device according to claim 1, wherein the said fixing assembly is mini-steel board (2); the mini-steel board (2) is pressed on two ends of elastic band (1) and fixed on the bone of dislocated joint by screws. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The bionic elastic fixing device according to claim 1, wherein the said fixing assembly is a steel plate hook (3), which is connected to the elastic band (1) and hooked at the edge of bone of dislocated joint. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The bionic elastic fixing device according to claim 1, wherein the said fixing assembly is a steel plate hook (3), which is connected to the elastic band (1) and hooked at the edge of bone of dislocated joint. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The bionic elastic fixing device according to claim 1, wherein the said fixing assembly is a screw (4), which fixes the elastic band (1) on the bone of dislocated joint. ### Claim 8 (depends on 2) The bionic elastic fixing device according to claim 2, wherein the said fixing assembly is mini-steel board (2); the mini-steel board (2) is pressed on two ends of elastic band (1) and fixed on the bone of dislocated joint by screws. ### Claim 9 (depends on 3) The bionic elastic fixing device according to claim 3, wherein the said fixing assembly is mini-steel board (2); the mini-steel board (2) is pressed on two ends of elastic band (1) and fixed on the bone of dislocated joint by screws. ### Claim 10 (depends on 2) The bionic elastic fixing device according to claim 2, wherein the said fixing assembly is a steel plate hook (3), which is connected to the elastic band (1) and hooked at the edge of bone of dislocated joint. ### Claim 11 (depends on 3) The bionic elastic fixing device according to claim 3, wherein the said fixing assembly is a steel plate hook (3), which is connected to the elastic band (1) and hooked at the edge of bone of dislocated joint. ### Claim 12 (depends on 2) The bionic elastic fixing device according to claim 2, wherein the said fixing assembly is a steel plate hook (3), which is connected to the elastic band (1) and hooked at the edge of bone of dislocated joint. ### Claim 13 (depends on 3) The bionic elastic fixing device according to claim 3, wherein the said fixing assembly is a steel plate hook (3), which is connected to the elastic band (1) and hooked at the edge of bone of dislocated joint. ### Claim 14 (depends on 2) The bionic elastic fixing device according to claim 2, wherein the said fixing assembly is a screw (4), which fixes the elastic band (1) on the bone of dislocated joint. ### Claim 15 (depends on 3) The bionic elastic fixing device according to claim 3, wherein the said fixing assembly is a screw (4), which fixes the elastic band (1) on the bone of dislocated joint.
