METHOD FOR LENGTHENING TUBULAR BONE Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: medicine, orthopedic, traumatology.

SUBSTANCE: one should perform, at minimum, a double osteotomy of a bone followed by a dosed longitudinal shift of isolated fragments till restoration of desired osseous length, replace intermediate fragment against longitudinal axis of the segment during the shift and move it in this position longitudinally. In peculiar case, at simultaneous shift of several intermediate fragments their adjacent ends should be replaced in opposite directions. In peculiar case, during osteotomy in adult patients one should perform periosteal exfoliation at the ends of intermediate fragment under development. The innovation enables to form steadily a regenerate which is capable to withstand statico-dynamic loading after reconstruction.

EFFECT: higher efficiency of osseous lengthening.
