DEVICE FOR CARRYING OUT TUBULAR BONE OSTEOSYNTHESIS Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: medical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: device has wire clamp manufactured from material possessing thermomechanical shape memory properties. The clamp has irregularly curved supraosseous member and straight pedicles fixable in bone and inclined toward each other. The irregularly curved supraosseous member has rectangular back and two Ω-shaped loops arranged on both sides with an area forming central cross-pieces of straight-line back. End cross-pieces of the straight-line back are mated with corresponding pedicles by means of arc-shaped areas embracing bone from both sides relative to the straight-line back. Each of planes formed by corresponding pedicle and mating arc-shaped area is arranged in perpendicular to the straight-line back. Projection of each Ω-shaped loop over the nearest of said planes is arc-shaped, the arc being arranged as arc symmetrically conjugated to an arc of arc-shaped area relative to corresponding end cross-piece.

EFFECT: constant compression of fractured bone fragments; high fixation reliability.
