Method of endoprosthetics of proximal end of femur

Gennady Evtikhievich Dudko

 

Abstract

Изобретение относится к медицине, а именно к ортопедии и травматологии, и используется при эндопротезировании проксимального конца бедренной кости. С целью профилактики смещения головки протеза и обеспечения движения в раннем послеоперационном периоде производят резекцию измененной части бедренной кости, устанавливают полимер-титановый эндопротез, формируют каналы в области дна вертлужной впадины, в головке и шейке эндопротеза, в большом вертеле, проводят через них ленту и фиксируют ее концы.

 

Description

In the lateral position, the hip joint area is opened. The proximal end of the femur is exposed. The head of the femur with the remains of the neck is removed. A bed for the endoprosthesis is formed in the medullary cavity of the femur. Two holes are made with an awl in the subtrochanteric region of the femur for the artificial tape. The polymer-titanium prosthesis is installed by inserting the endoprosthesis stem into the medullary cavity of the femur until it stops in the intertrochanteric region. The remains of the round ligament are removed in the area of ​​the bottom of the acetabulum. A channel with a diameter of 6-8 mm is formed at the place of its attachment with a drill, through which the end of the tape with a dumbbell-shaped stop is inserted into the pelvic cavity. The tape is pulled by the ends and it is made sure that the dumbbell-shaped stop rests against the bottom of the acetabulum. The free ends of the tape are passed through a pre-formed Y-shaped channel in the head and neck of the endoprosthesis and the corresponding holes in the greater trochanter using a wire loop. The head of the endoprosthesis is adjusted into the acetabulum, the hip is bent to an angle of 90° and moved outward as much as possible, the tape is pulled by the ends and tied or sutured in the subtrochanteric region. The damaged structures are sutured layer by layer: the joint capsule, muscles, fascia, subcutaneous tissue and skin. The limb is placed on an orthopedic pillow in a mid-physiological position. Movements in the joint are developed from the second day. After 5-7 days, patients learn to walk on crutches without support on the operated limb.

Example. Patient O., a pensioner, was hospitalized for a closed fracture of the right femoral neck. X-ray showed a subcapital fracture of the right femoral neck with displacement. He was treated with skeletal traction for 5 weeks. The treatment was ineffective. An endoprosthetic replacement surgery was performed using the traditional technique with a polymer-titanium endoprosthesis with the formation of a ligament between the head of the prosthesis and the bottom of the acetabulum using the described technique. The postoperative period was uneventful. Movements in the hip joint began on the second day, on the fifth day he was raised on crutches without support on the operated leg. The stitches were removed on the 12th day. He was examined two years later: he walks freely, over long distances without a cane. He fully cares for himself. There is no shortening of the limb. Range of motion in the operated joint: flexion 80°, extension 175°, abduction 35°, outward rotation 35°, inward rotation - 15°. Control radiographs of the right hip joint show no signs of arthrosis, the endoprosthesis stem is in the bone marrow cavity, oriented toward the center of the acetabulum. There are no signs of osteoporosis or subluxation. Five people were operated on using this technique with good results.

Thus, the proposed method prevents displacement of the endoprosthesis head during unipolar endoprosthetics and ensures patient activation in the early postoperative period.

 

Claims

Who, When, and Where Wrote the Book of Genesis?

  Who, When, and Where Wrote the Book of Genesis?  A Medical Hypothesis By Sergey V. Arkhipov, MD, PhD & Lyudmila N. Arkhipova, BSN     CONTENT [i]   Abstract [ii]   Introduction [iii]   Egyptian physician [iv]   Asian diviner [v]   Conclusion [vi]   References [vii]   Application [i]   Abstract The Book of Genesis is an example of an ancient literary text that contains important medical insights. We propose that it was written in northern Egypt in the late 17th century BCE, approximately ten years after the Minoan eruption. The protograph likely emerged from the collaboration between an Asiatic seer, who rose to the rank of an Egyptian official, and an Egyptian physician-encyclopedist. By refining its dating and authorship, this hypothesis positions Genesis as a credible source of medical and historical data, thereby enhancing its value for interdisciplinary research.

1878MarshallJ

  Fragments from the book Marshall J. Anatomy for artists (1878). The author discusses the anatomy and briefly the role of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF): «… checks adduction of the thigh, or a sinking down of the pelvis upon the opposite side, and, possibly, also limits the reciprocal, horizontal rotatory movements of the femur and the pelvis on each other» .   Quote p. 65 The head of the femur is almost entirely received into the acetabulum, a deep socket of the hip-bone, thus forming the largest and most complete ball-and- socket joint in the body. At a point on the inner side of the head of the femur, a little below and also behind its centre, is a small rough, bifid , depression, for the attachment of the ligamentum teres of the hip-joint. Opposite this point, the head of the bone is, however, more prominent than elsewhere, and corresponds with a non- articular depressed portion of the acetabulum.   Quote p. 68 The ligamentum teres, which is attached by one en...
