METHOD OF RESTORING ELBOW JOINT ACTIVE FLEXION AND EXTERNAL ROTATION IN SHOULDER JOINT IN CHILDREN WITH ARTHROGRYPOSIS Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC A61B17/56 

FIELD: medicine; orthopedics.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used for restoring active flexion in elbow joint and external rotation in humeral joint in children with arthrogryposis. Latissimus muscle of the back is separated on the thoraco-dorsal vascular-neural bundle. Muscular tendons are detached from a humerus. Proximal attachment point of the muscle is transferred to the forearm frontal area and fixed to a radial bone in the region of tuberosity. Sub-appendage muscle is separated from the angle and anterior surface of the blade, and the cortical humeral ligament of the shoulder joint is dissected.

EFFECT: method provides higher efficiency of recovering an active function of the upper extremity by single-step elimination of an imbalance between flexor and foramens extensors, as well as external and internal shoulder rotators.
