METHOD FOR KYPHOTIC DEFORMITY CORRECTION IN THORACIC SPINE IN GROWING DOGS Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC A61B17/70 A61D1/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely to veterinary science, and can be used for correction of kyphotic deformity in thoracic spine in growing dogs. In the course of kyphotic deformity correction, in the area of deformity a transthoracic approach to the vertebral bodies is performed with exposing their ventro-lateral surface. An intervertebral disc is fenestrated with a surgical cutter. At the level of deformity, one multiaxial screw is introduced into the vertebral bodies in the deformation zone, as well as one multiaxial screw is introduced into the thoracic vertebral bodies cephalad and caudal to the deformation. Screws are delivered bicortically. Then the fixing bar is delivered, distraction is performed until the deformation area is straightened, and the bar is fixed in screws. Then one more multiaxial screw is inserted into the thoracic vertebrae cranially and caudally to the installed structure and fixed with a bar.

EFFECT: method provides reducing iatrogenic risks of spinal cord injury in the process of performing the required vertebral distraction by setting the second level of stability.
