METHOD FOR SUBCHONDRAL STRAINED REINFORCEMENT Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A61B17/56 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions refers to traumatology and orthopaedics and is applicable for subchondral strained reinforcement. The first version: one end of at least two pins is inserted subchondrally through articular surface fragments above a bone defect up to its cortical layer. The mechanical strain is generated in the pin; an arched curve is formed at an outer end of each pin, whereas a free linear segment of the pin thereafter is inclined by 45-60 degrees to a long axis of the bone, and then pressed to the bone with a clamp element by means of screws. The second version: one end of each pin is brought until it comes out from the opposite side of the bone, and a support pad is formed thereon; each pin is pulled up to contact the support pad to the opposite cortical layer of the bone; the pin is pulled up by its outer end; that is ensured by forming the arched curve of the pin at the end of each pin opposite the support pad and fixing it by at least two loops around the axis of the pin rod; the arched curve is bent to the bone, whereas the free linear segment of the pin end is placed on the surface of the bone surface for fixation thereto.

EFFECT: group of inventions enables preventing the secondary fragment displacement.
