METHOD FOR SURGICAL MANAGEMENT OF TRAUMATIC INJURIES OF PUBIC ARTICULATION OF PELVIC RING Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A61B17/56 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: pubic bones are brought together until contact tightly by means of a reduction device. Through an incision made along a superior-anterior border of the pubic bones brought together, above a symphysis, a metal plate shaped as a bone of a pubic articulation in the form of a segment of a flat ring with rounded angles is placed as an implant for fixation of the traumatically injured bones of the pubic articulation of the pelvic ring. The plate has two holes for retainer screws, two holes for spongious screws and one threaded hole. The metal implant plate is fixed by means of the two spongious screws through the two holes in the plate. Two blind holes are drilled out successively in the pubic bones of the pelvic ring brought together, and the plate is finally fixed on the traumatically injured bones of the pubic articulation of the pelvic ring by inserting the retainer screws in the formed blind holes.

EFFECT: method enables recovering the shape and support function of the pelvis, reducing the risk of infectious contaminations of the surrounding tissues.
