METHOD FOR VASCULARISED HUMERAL PERIOSTEAL GRAFTING FOR TREATING FALSE JOINTS

摘要

FIELD: medicine.SUBSTANCE: invention refers to traumatology and orthopaedics and is applicable for vascularised humeral periosteal grafting for treating false joints. Periosteal U-grafts with a base being in vascular connection to the bone are formed on proximal and distal fragments. The periosteal graft of the proximal fragment is turned and moved towards the distal fragment, and the periosteal graft of the distal fragment - to the proximal fragment so that the grafts overlap a false joint region, whereas a cambial layer of the periosteum is placed onto the humeral bone. The graft borders are placed under a plate and fixed to the proximal and distal fragments by means of interrupted sutures through plate openings.EFFECT: method enables reducing a risk of pathological fracture and providing blood supply in distal portion of an extremity.5 dwg
