METHOD OF SPLINT MANUFACTURE FOR IMMOBILIZATION OF BONES IN CASE OF THEIR DAMAGE Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: medicine; traumatology; surgery. SUBSTANCE: method consists in bending of loader module in the shape of rectangular frame with transverse members, with formation of bearing segments and bends between them and stabilizing members in the shape of twin frame triangular brackets. Relation of wall lengths of brackets is in proportion with relation of lengths of adjacent bearing segments. Side limiting projections are provided only in end sections of bearing segments and in sections of the same segments stabilized by twin brackets, and bends between segments may be made by-pass. When manufacturing the splint, ulnar brackets are formed on bearing or by-pass bend for forearm. Splints for ulnar joint and distal metaepiphysis of shoulder are made ulnar brackets or on ulnar bend. Splints for shoulder are formed by ulnar brackets on bearing or by-pass ulnar bend. In this case, shoulder brackets are formed on shoulder bend. Shoulder extension splints are formed by ulnar brackets on bearing or by-pass ulnar bend. Splints for both upper extremities are formed by ulnar brackets on bearing or by-pass ulnar bend. Shoulder brackets are formed on shoulder bend. Splints for foot and ankle joint, as well as for bones of metatarsus and sole of the foot are formed by heel brackets on bearing or by-pass heel bend, and splints for heel bone are formed by heel brackets on heel bend. EFFECT: higher reliability in operation. 23 cl, 82 dwg
