Abstract

This invention relates to medicine, in particular to surgical devices for curing the locomotor apparatus with the aid of osteosynthesis. In order to improve operational reliability during implantation, the structure of the inventive device for elongating long bones is embodied in such a way that the axes of the bearing part and the thread screwed part of a screw-holder are offset at a distance ranging from 0.5 to 0.8 mm. A boss (bulge) is embodied on the external body of the device on the side of the orifice in which said screw-holder is fixed. The specific structural embodiment of a finger makes it possible to reduce the traumatic effects of a surgical operation.

Claims (17)

1. A device for elongating long bones comprising

an external and a pullout internal cylindrical hollow body, connected telescopically, each having a boss and a groove,

said internal body having through orifices for retention screws, a wall of said external body having a threaded orifice with a screw-holder mounted therein, said screw-holder containing a coaxial bearing part and a thread screwed part,

a ratchet-and-pawl gear connected with said external body, a lead screw disposed inside said external body, which is connected by way of a screw joint with the internal pullout hollow body, said ratchet-and-pawl gear being further connected with said lead screw, and having a thrust ring for said lead screw operable to pull out said internal body relative to said external body,

a telescopic rodded drive, with a sphere, said rod drive operable to transmit rotational movement, connected to a driving ratchet wheel by means of a swing joint and to the external body by means of a bayonet joint, said driving ratchet wheel connected to said lead screw,

a key in communication with said external body and said internal body for preventing rotational shifting of the external body relative to said internal body, wherein an axis of said thread screwed part of the screw-holder is shifted relative to an axis of said bearing part by 0.5-0.8 mm,

the external body in said threaded orifice area, where said screw-holder is mounted, having a boss for strengthening said external body, and

a finger connected through an axis of said rod, having, from a side of said rod, a clamp and an end surface orifice, in which a plate for ears with an orifice for the axis is mounted, and a through threaded transverse orifice for a blocking screw of the crest of the iliac bone.

2. A device for elongating long bones comprising

an external and a pullout internal cylindrical hollow body, connected telescopically, each having a boss and a groove,

said internal body having through orifices for retention screws, a wall of said external body having a threaded orifice with a screw-holder mounted therein, said screw-holder containing a coaxial bearing part and a thread screwed part,

a ratchet-and-pawl gear connected with said external body, a lead screw disposed inside said external body, which is connected by way of a screw joint with the internal pullout hollow body, said ratchet-and-pawl gear being further connected with said lead screw, and having a thrust ring for said lead screw operable to pull out said internal body relative to said external body,

a telescopic rodded drive, with a sphere, said rod drive operable to transmit rotational movement, connected to a driving ratchet wheel by means of a swing joint and to the external body by means of a bayonet joint, said driving ratchet wheel connected to said lead screw,

a key in communication with said external body and said internal body for preventing rotational shifting of the external body relative to said internal body,

wherein an axis of said thread screwed part of the screw-holder is shifted relative to an axis of said bearing part by 0.5-0.8 mm,

the external body in said threaded orifice area, where said screw-holder is mounted, having a boss for strengthening said external body, and

a finger connected proximally through an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said rod, said finger having, a clamp and an end surface orifice with plate distally connecting said finger to an ear of said rod drive, and said finger having distally a through threaded transverse orifice for a blocking screw of the crest of the iliac bone.
