METHOD FOR TREATING FIBULA HAVING FRACTURE IN THE LOWER PART OF DIAPHYSIS WITH INJURED CRURAL TIBIOFIBULAR SYNDESMOSIS Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC A61B17/56 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves setting apparatus having two ring-shaped and a half-ring-shaped rests connected with threaded bars. Two rods are introduced into distal fibula fragment above and blow the syndesmosis level. The rods are fixed in two single-hole cantilevers connected with their bases to a plate and forming reposition unit together with two threaded bars. The bars are attached to the proximal ring-shaped rest. The fractured bone fragment is set by means of the reposition unit by moving the reposition unit in three planes using nuts. The reposition unit is fixed when achieving fracture reduction.

EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness in retaining proportions in tibiofibular syndesmosis; reduced risk of inflammatory complications.
