METHOD AND RULER FOR DETERMINING PIN LENGTH IN PERFORMING INTRAMEDULLARY OSTEOSYNTHESIS

摘要

FIELD: medicine; medical engineering. ^ SUBSTANCE: method involves measuring anatomical bone length on intact extremity from the place the pin is to be introduced to the place its distal level is supposed to be positioned. Anatomical bone curvature height is measured next to it in the middle point of length and the received values are summed. Device has linear scale for measuring anatomical bone length and another linear scale for measuring anatomical bone curvature height that is movable and arranged in perpendicular to the first one. ^ EFFECT: maximum medullary canal fill allover anatomical bone length; high osteosynthesis stability. ^ 3 cl, 3 dwg
