DEVICE FOR BLOCKED OSTEOSYNTHESIS OF SHAFT FRACTURES OF LONG BONES Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A61B17/80 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: device comprises a plate. The plate is transversally bent at a bending radius equal to a plate width. Each of both ends at an apex of the transversal bend of the plate comprise one vertical hole with a cylindrical screw thread; in the middle and on the periphery of the plate, there are staggered holes alternated with and without the screw hole along the full length and inclined at 20 degrees to the centre of a syntethised bone shaft with the number of holes dependent on the plate length for insertion of fixing screws. Fixing screw heads have a cylindrical thread screwed incompletely on the last turn of the thread. A space in the middle of the plate is free from the holes along the quarter-length.

EFFECT: invention provides reliable fixation with minimum contact of the plate and bone surface, along with eliminating a risk of bed sores and disturbed repair process, simplifying the osteosynthesis procedure.
