METHOD FOR SURGICAL RECONSTRUCTION OF PLANTAR SUPPORTING FUNCTION AT THE ABSENCE OF ANKLE BONE AND HEEL BONE OF THE FOOT

FIELD: medicine, traumatology, orthopedics. ^ SUBSTANCE: onto the middle and the inferior third of the shin and onto the anterior department of the foot one should apply a compression-distraction apparatus, tibia should be lanced to fulfill its osteotomy in distal part. Wounds should be sutured followed by gradual distraction of the osteotomosed fragment being larger than tibia in compression-distraction apparatus in plantar direction into the position of ankle and heel bones to form a regenerate till the moment of a limb's shortening and creating the loaded supporting surface of plantar heel area. Simultaneously, it is necessary to bring lateral surface of regenerate together with the bones of the foot till its healing with the bones of foot that provides the reconstruction of the foot's supporting function. ^ EFFECT: higher efficiency. ^ 1 cl, 9 dwg, 1 ex
