METHOD FOR SURGICAL ACCESS TO HIP JOINT IN ENDOPROSTHESIS Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC A61B17/56 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: central line is drawn from the top to the bottom above the greater trochanter. On this central line, points of the proximal and distal border of the larger trochanter are marked. The distance between these points is measured and divided into 3 equal parts, highlighting the proximal, middle and distal part. The first incision is made from the proximal point along the muscle fibres of the middle gluteus muscle in the anterior-upper direction 3 cm in length. The second incision is made from the point on the border between the middle and distal third of the larger trochanter in the anterior direction, departing 1 cm from the central line, 3 cm in length. The third incision is made by connecting the initial points of the first and second incisions with each other, in the form of an arc with convex side directed anteriorly. The middle gluteus muscle is cut off from the anterior surface of the larger trochanter within the incisions made. The resulting flap of the medial gluteus muscle is shifted anteriorly and fixed with instruments.

EFFECT: invention allows to reduce traumatism, shorten the period of rehabilitation due to faster recovery of the muscular environment and hip joint function.
