METHOD FOR ACROMIAL OSTEOTOMY AND DEVICE FOR IMPLEMENTING IT Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A61B17/56 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: group of invention refers to traumatology and orthopaedics and can be used for acromial osteotomy. After separating, the acromial process is placed between a body of a device and a protective element. Pins are inserted into the acromial process through holes in guide cones in an auxiliary unit of the device, a depth of insertion of which into the acromial process makes no more than 25 mm. Before the osteotomy, the wires are partially brought out keeping the depth of insertion into the acromial process no more than 5 mm. Through pin holes in the body, counter passages are created in the acromial process wherein the pins are inserted for final fixation of the device on the acromial process. That is followed by an osteotomy parallel with an edge of the acromial process, the main stage of the intervention within a subcoracoid space; thereafter, a dissected fragment of the acromial process, pinned in the auxiliary unit is adapted to a parent bed. An osteosynthesis of a bone shaft and dissected fragment of the acromial process is performed.

EFFECT: group of inventions enables reducing a risk of rotator shoulder muscle injuries, shortening a rehabilitation period.
