METHOD OF CONSERVATIVE TREATMENT OF SHIN BONE FRACTURES Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A61B17/66 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely to orthopaedics and traumatology. A wire is delivered through a heel bone. It is used for skeletal traction to remove lengthwise bone fragment dislocation. Then two supplementary wires are delivered in a frontal plane: in a distal tibial epimetaphys and in a proximal tibial epimetaphys. The supplementary wires are fixed in supports of a derotation device from two rings of a standard Ilizarov's osteosynthesis kit. The rings are coupled by three telescopic rods. The fracture is reduced. Edgewise dislocation of the bone fragments is removed, and the bone fragments are rotationally dislocated. The telescopic rods are fixed in the achieved position. The skeletal traction wire is removed from the heel bone. The X-ray control follows. A plaster bandage is applied on a shin with covering knee and ankle joints. After the plaster bandage is dried, the derotation device is removed.

EFFECT: method provides tibial and fibular fragment union in an anatomically correct position and reduced length of hospital treatment.
