SURGICAL ACCESS METHOD FOR MAKING TENOLIGAMENTOCAPSULOAPONEUROTOMY IN CONGENITAL TALIPES CASES Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC A61B17/56 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves making cut in skin and subcutaneous cellular tissue running over medial surface of lower shin portion, along medial edge of heel tendon back and down enveloping medial malleolus approaching dorsal foot surface. The incision begins from upper boundary of the lower shin one-third and goes in distal direction along posterior tibia edge and in the heel tendon projection and comes to dorsal foot surface at the level of sphenonavicular joint after having passed the malleolus. Arc-shaped incision is done. The incision is turned to dorsal foot part with its apex. The incision is continued in distal direction towards medioplantar border of metatarsophalangeal articulation following flap reflectivity principle to enable one to operate on dorsal and plantar foot surface.

EFFECT: prevented flap necrosis from taking place.
