Abstract
Set of instruments and metal fixatives for osteosynthesis in corrective operations on proximal femur in patients aged 1-15 years was elaborated at CITO. Comparative experimental strength tests showed the advantages of suggested metallic fixatives over existed analogs (fixatives from DON set and Blount plate). Cannulated system for angular metal fixatives application provided for proper setting of the construction, shortened the duration of surgical intervention and decreased operative trauma. That set was used for the treatment of 169 children with various types of hip joint pathology. Average duration of surgical intervention made up 45 min. (versus 95 min. at routine surgical technique). Bone fragments displacement, loss of correction, instabi-lity of osteosynthesis and other complications were not observed at follow up less than 1 year.
