MODIFIED METHOD FOR EXPERIMENTAL SURGICAL APPROACH TO RAT'S SHOULDER BLADE Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC G09B23/28 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: general anaesthesia is performed. A skin incision 1.5-2 cm long in a projection of the shoulder bone is performed; the skin, subcutaneous fat and fascias are excised; muscles are skeletonised within the scapular spine. An examined material is implanted into the bone bed, and the wound is closed. The muscles of the scapular spine are skeletonised in the ventral direction towards the glenoid cavity of the scapula. The neck of the scapula is skeletonised; a bone bed is formed within the neck of the scapula at 30°-45° to the surface of the neck of the scapula at a depth stop short of the wall of the glenoid cavity. The examined material is implanted into the bone bed of the neck of the scapula until primarily stabilised.

EFFECT: method provides the minimum injuries accompanying the wound formation, reduces the risk of a postoperative wound damage by animals, makes it possible to perform surgical interventions on both scapulas simultaneously, provides an adequate volume and quality of the bone tissue in the incision area for the purpose of studying osteointegration processes, and ensures the adequate fixation of the implant.
