METHOD OF SURGICAL TREATMENT OF LONGITUDINAL TENDON RUPTURE WITH PARTIAL TRANSVERSE SEPARATION Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC A61B17/56 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a traumatology and orthopedics. First, the area of the longitudinal rupture of the tendon is sutured, starting from the distal section. At least one external cross-shaped blocking loop is formed with a cross-thread on the front surface of the whole tendon section and forming a knot on the front surface of the severed tendon section. Number of external cruciform blocking loops is determined taking into account the length of the longitudinal rupture of the tendon. Internal locking loops are formed at the rate of two internal locking loops on one external cruciform locking loop. To form the inner blocking loop, the outer edge of the severed tendon section is wrapped with the free end of the thread perpendicular to the course of the fibers from front to back with the subsequent carrying out of the thread through the through puncture of the torn section on its front surface over the previously held thread, wrapping the outer edge of the torn section. Free ends of the thread are interconnected. After that, the transverse tendon area is sutured.

EFFECT: invention may be applicable for the surgical treatment of a longitudinal tendon rupture with partial transverse separation.
