DEVICE FOR BLOCKED EXTERNAL OSTEOSYNTHESIS OF TUBULAR BONES Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC A61B17/80 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medical equipment, namely to metal constructions for osteosynthesis of fractures of tubular bones. Device contains curved plate with holes, fixing screws and spherical washers with hole in the centre and cylindrical thread. Plate is curved transversely with bend radius equal to plate width. Edges along plate are sharpened and made with toothed thread. Holes in plate are made spherical for placement of spherical washers and are located in staggered order on plate ends. Space in the centre of plate, occupying 1/3 of plate length is free of holes. Head of fixing screw has cylindrical thread for placement in hole of spherical washer. Fixing screw is made self-tapping, screw thread can cut into plate holes.

EFFECT: invention ensures reliable fixation, minimal contact of plate with bone surface, excluding development of bedsores and impairment of reparation process, as well as simplification of osteosynthesis operation.
