METHOD OF TREATING JUVENILE EPIPHYSIOLOSIS OF FEMORAL BONE HEAD IN CHILDREN Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC A61B17/64 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to field of medicine, in particular to orthopedics. Skin and subcutaneous fatty tissue are cut on anterior surface of iliac region. Muscular tissue is immobilised in obtuse and acute way. Periosteum of iliac bone between anterior-upper and anterior-lower spines is exposed, periosteum is cut longitudinally and separated with raspatory. Two tunnels are made in front plane by means of drill. After that threaded rods with diameter 5-6 mm are screwed to the depth 3-4 cm. In lower third of femoral bone two cuts are made with scalpel. Trocar is introduced to bone. Through trocar bush two tunnels are frilled in bone, fixing threaded rods are screwed into tunnels. After that, by means of "МКЦ" apparatus gradual distraction and rotation inwards on femoral bone axis is performed at the rate 1-2 mm per day by rotation of nut on threaded rods in various planes for two-three weeks. Fixation of head and neck of hip is realised by bundle of wires, which are installed along hip neck, crossing growth zone. After that "МКЦ" apparatus is dismantled and plaster bandage is applied until bones knit completely.

EFFECT: method ensures gradual reposition of epiphysis, possibility to compensate vascular net to changing spatial position.
