METHOD FOR EXARTICULATING HIP JOINT FROM HUMAN CADAVER Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC A61B17/56 G09B23/28 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves making incision in skin, subcutaneous cellular tissue and proper fascia beginning from anterosuperior iliac spine along the anterior femur surface to the level being 3-5 cm below the lesser trochanter. Bones are bypassed for cutting them with Gigli saw with a conductor manufactured as S-shaped rigid tube having one end sharpened and attached to one of Gigli saw ends with its other end. The conductor and Gigli saw end is brought through muscular lacuna for cutting iliac bone and brought out through suprapiriform opening. The conductor and Gigli saw end is brought for cutting ischial bone body through obturator foramen and brought out into operation wound. The conductor and Gigli saw end is brought for cutting pubic bone body through obturator foramen and brought out into operation wound. The conductor and Gigli saw end is brought for cutting femur bone body from medial side of the femur below the lesser trochanter level.

EFFECT: reduced risk of injuries in articulation and periarticular tissues; reduced losses of cadaver material.
