METHOD FOR FIXING REVASCULARIZED OSSEOUS AUTOTRANSPLANT FOR TREATING DEFECT-PSEUDOARTHROSES OF LONG TUBULAR BONES Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: medicine, traumatology, orthopedics.

SUBSTANCE: before applying autotransplant into defect area the bone should be treated. For this purpose one should dissect its atrophic end to form a longitudinal channel there. Then one should rotate the treated osseous fragment for 180є to be introduced into medullary canal of the bone. Osseous revascularized autotransplant should be placed into defect area, then one should apply axial compressing needle to fix it at one of these osseous fragments. Another osseous fragment should be supplemented with the apparatus for external fixation where one should pull intramedullarly applied needle. On stabilizing the fragments and the transplant one should perform microsurgical stage of operation by suturing arteries and veins. The method suggested improves conditions for the increment of revascularized osseous autotransplant due to developing a stable edge support between the transplant and osseous fragments.

EFFECT: higher efficiency of fixation.
