COMPARATIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF DIFFERENT SYSTEMS FOR PROVIDING TRANSOSSEOUS OSTEOSYNTHESIS IN SMALL PETS IN MODERN VETERINARY PRACTICE

Abstract

The article is devoted to a general review of various systems for external osteosynthesis used in modern veterinary medicine. The aim of the study was to summarize and analyze articles on the use of various systems for external osteosynthesis used in modern veterinary medicine. The analysis of the technical base of the main components of the systems under study for external (transosseous) osteosynthesis was carried out. An assessment was made of the possibility of assembling hardware structures from the parts of the systems under study from the point of view of hardware configurations. The study found: - To ensure the functional diversity of hardware combinations, the systems studied in the work use radius components (rings and their derivatives), which originate from the rings represented in the Ilizarov system. - The presence of special clamping devices in the systems expands the clinical range of application of hardware structures for transosseous osteosynthesis. - The use of rotary mechanisms in the form of brackets (cardans, hinges) expands the technological possibilities of using external fixation devices, if spatial control of hardware structures is necessary, both during operations and in the postoperative period.
