FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: device for fixing the lower limb during magnetic resonance imaging of the knee joint, consisting of a platform with grooves to which rods are attached, each of which consists of two rectangular plates 10 cm thick made with the possibility of adjusting the length in accordance with the length of the lower leg and thigh for by comparing the through holes made every 5 cm with a diameter of 5 cm, and fixing the rods with two pins inserted into the holes in each rod, while the thigh bar is fixed to the platform with a movable hinge, and the tibia bar has a spike at the end, inserted into the slots in the platform, the rods are connected to each other by a movable hinge, while an angular stop is set between the rods with the ability to set the angle between the rods.
EFFECT: possibility of studying the biomechanics and anatomical displacement of the structures of the knee joint at various given angles of flexion of the knee joint in closed-type MRI tomographs.
