METHOD OF OSTEOSYNTHESIS BY ORTHO-SUV APPARATUS FOR ELIMINATION OF ANKLE DISLOCATIONS Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A61B17/56 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to traumatology and orthopaedics, and is intended for application in elimination of ankle dislocations. Additional ring support is fixed to base support, fixed to distal part of shin at level VII on rods in proximal direction. Distance between basic and remote support is determined from 5 to 8 cm. Diameter of remote support is selected to be 2-3 standard sizes larger than of the basic one. Distal support, which consists of two semi-rings, connected by bars, is fixed to foot bones in a single block. Additional support, fixed to basic support, and mobile support are connected by six strata. Fastening of strata to supports is realised in the following order: strata No 1, No 3 and No 5 are fixed to additional support at level IV of shin. Stratum No 1 is fixed in position 12, strata No 3 and No 5 in position 4 and 8, strata No 2, No 4 and No 6 are fixed to mobile support. Strata No 2 and No 6 are fixed to support at level of metatarsophalangeal joints, and stratum No 6 is fixed in position 6.

EFFECT: due to application of Ortho-SUV apparatus, working on the basis of computer navigation method makes it possible to set dislocations in ankle joint by apparatus in one stage for short period of time, with construction having minimal possible dimensions during fixation period.
