Surgical Treatment of Injuries and Consequences of the Acetabulum

Improving the Surgical Treatment of Injuries and Consequences of Injuries of the Acetabulum

The aim of the program is to develop technologies for the diagnosis and treatment of injuries and consequences of the pelvis.

Purpose: to improve the technique of surgical treatment of acetabular fractures.

Tasks: Implementation of low-traumatic access to the acetabulum; introduction of a new implant for osteosynthesis of complex acetabular fractures into clinical practice; мathematical modeling of fixation of the acetabulum with a new implant; рublication of the results of the work carried out The relevance of the use of new implants in orthopedics is due to the problem of adaptation of implants in the body, especially with poor quality of bone tissue. Currently, work is underway to improve the materials and shapes of implants, new alloys are being studied, polymer implants are being introduced, but the problem of their integration into bones remains. A promising direction in orthopedics is the creation of implants as close as possible in their morphological shape and elasto-strength properties to human bone. But the creation of an absolute copy of the bone structure from a metal alloy leads to a weakening of its strength and loss of fixation stability, and subsequent lysis of the adjacent bone tissue.

All this indicates the need for further search for new, perhaps more promising and effective ways to solve this problem.
