METHOD FOR BONE GRAFTING IN TREATING FALSE JOINTS AND BONE DEFECTS OF FOREARM Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A61B17/56 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: formed concave spherical cutters are used to process end faces of bone fragments of the forearm to enlarge a contact area to a graft. An open reduction of the fragments involves measuring an existing defect in between. The graft of the required dimensions is created; the end faces of the graft are processed with convex spherical cutters of the similar radius. After the open reduction is completed and the graft is embedded between the fragments, the optimum contact area of the bone and graft is aimed. External or internal fixation is carried out to create compression between the fragments and graft and to ensure an extra stability of the maximum contact by shaping the end faces of the graft and fragments spherical.

EFFECT: method enables increasing fixation stability, providing the early functional load, and recovering the adjoining joint function.
