METHOD OF SINGLE-STEP TRANSILIAC ELONGATION OF LOWER EXTREMITY Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A61B17/56 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to traumatology and orthopaedics and can be applied for the single-step transiliac elongation of a lower extremity. The lower edge of the semiluna notch is osteotomated with the formation of an insection to the base of the anterior-lower spine. Rearward from the sciatic notch the ischium is sawed to the arc-like line with the formation of a saw cut. An external cortical plate is sawn on the external surface of the iliac bone from the insection to the saw cut, with the formation of a line of transverse osteotomy. The insection and the saw cut are connected on the internal surface of the ilium by a line of arc-like osteotomy of the internal cortical plate, passing in front of the semilunar notch upwards - on the internal edge of the ilium wing, then down its crest and downwards - on the posterior part of the iliac bone, with an indent from the arc-like line with the formation of a tongue-shaped bone flap. The external and internal cortical plates are moved with respect to each other in the saggital plane for distant, equal shortening of the extremity.

EFFECT: method makes it possible to reduce a risk of recurrence, and reduce the term of rehabilitation.
