SU26408A1 - Prosthesis for the treatment of bone fractures in large animals - Google Patents

Description

Fractures of the bones of the limbs in large animals often occur both in horse breeding and in other animal husbandry, on race and race hippodromes, in military units, in peasant households, etc.

Large animals that have fractured limb bones usually kill, in which the state suffers a significant loss every year. The imposition of metal ligatures directly on the bone, clamps in the form of steel plates, screwing of the connected ends of the bones, etc., does not reach the intended goal of healing the animal.

The use of various patches impregnated with paste, egg protein, rosin, gutta-percha, dextrin, gypsum and other substances also does not reach the goal due to the fact that the period of hardening of the band is quite long, but to maintain the leg broken in a large animal in a fixed position until fully cured. Garments are not possible. On the other hand, such garments interfere with treatment of very often skin wounds at the site of a fracture, even if the so-called window is made at the wound site in the belt.

In the latter case, the strength of such a belt becomes even more doubtful.

The present invention consists of two symmetrical zholoba attached to each other, made in the shape of a limb with an elongated path and hoof and elongated in the lower part so that the hoof does not bear the load of body weight.

The four accompanying drawings (Figs. 1-4) show prosthetic dressings, which are made as follows.

A piece of wood, without knots, longer than the limb's length from half of the joint or hock to the lower edge of the hoof hitch wall, when straightened in the chick, is cut longitudinally into two equal parts, the outer and the inner halves. The diameter of the tree should be wider by an inch or more in the upper part, depending on the weight of the animal, the diameter of the joints or hocks, and in the lower part, the diameter of the hoof.

The hollows are hollowed out in each half (Fig. 1), the shape of which corresponds to the longitudinal half of the diseased leg, so that when these two zholobov are applied to the diseased leg, the saws fit tightly, and in the hollowed part they match the shape of the skin, but they do not touch the skin surface.

In the place, hollowed out in the shape of the lower half of the joint or hock joint, tow or OR cotton is placed, the cattle is covered with a canvas, thick canvas or soft skin and nails or tied with flagella through holes made in the trough. In this way, a soft cushion is obtained, to which the entire body of the animal is carried at rest (Fig. 1). The same cushion 2 must be made at the point of contact of the upper half of the glue joint (Fig. 1 and 2).

Those places of the cholobes, where the part of the foot and the hoof will be located, must be hollowed out in such a way that the latter, when these cholobs join, are placed in them freely. To make the denture easier, a layer of wood is removed outside the troughs until the outer surface of the trough matches the outer surface of the foot, and the eaves will not be the same thickness throughout.

Also, to facilitate the prosthesis, they are made in a staggered order of the hole 3, which, in addition to the relief of the prosthesis, will facilitate the access of fresh air to the surface of the skin of the diseased limb (Figs. 2 and 3).

Two ears are nailed from the sides to the upper end of the troughs (Fig. 2 and 4) of such length that the strap threaded through them (Fig. 2 and 5) clasped the leg above the joint and thus served as a safety guard against creeping down this wooden belt.

When all this is done, the animal's bone or metatarsal bone is broken and is wrapped with a gauze or some kind of soft bandage, at which point the helper stretches the animal's leg so that the ends of the bones in the overlap are connected and assume a normal position. The 6 revolutions of the bandage must be applied so that when they are applied to the leg of the raes their walls are tightly in contact with the leg, but do not violate their blood circulation pressure.

After applying the bandage, the grooves are placed and they are so tightly wrapped around the outside with straps or a rope so that the edges of the cut cannot be separated or

to move. It is more convenient to impose such a prosthesis on a fracture when the animal is lying, but it can be done on a standing animal, having drawn its healthy side to the wall of the machine or fence.

In such a prosthesis, the fracture is not at all mobile. Existing skin lesions can be treated by removing wooden canals and, most importantly, the animal can rest on a sore leg. without disturbing the broken bone, because the animal's weight is transferred to the spider or hock joint lying on the pillow, and the parts of the leg below will hang inside the shield of the prosthesis without reaching the floor, as the walls of the wooden troughs are somewhat longer than this part of the leg .

After about four weeks, depending on the hardening of the corn, the tendons and suspension of the joint should be gradually forced to function. To this end, an arch 7 is cut out in front of the cholos in places corresponding to the rail joint and the front wall of the hoof, through which the hoof and the rope could move forward (Figures 3 and 4).

In order for the hooked wall of the hoof pulled forward to now touch the ground, the lower parts of the wooden chutes of the prosthesis can be cut off (Fig. 3, dotted line). Between the fifth parts of the hoof and the put and the back internal wall of the cholob there is an embedding that pulls the hoof and the put forward a little through the cut arch.

After two or three days later, the cut of the lower parts of the troughs should be repeated by two to three millimeters, and the number of tow nested between the right parts of the hoof and the back inner wall of the troughs should be increased so that the lance gradually moved forward.

Thus, the animal will finally be able to completely lean on the lower part of the hoof against the ground.

The subject matter of the invention.

1. A prosthetic dressing for the treatment of bone fractures in large animals, differing in the fact that it consists of two symmetric overlaid tresses made in the form

The forearms with an elongated putai and a hoof and elongated in the lower part so that the hoof does not bear the load of the body weight, and the latter is transmitted through the prosthesis.

2. The form of the prosthesis indicated in the paragraph, characterized by the fact that, for the purpose of ventilation, there are holes in the walls of the holes.
