Abstract

For the first time, a method has been developed for arthroplasty of the elbow joint using a hinge-distraction device for external fixation, which allows automatic vibro-frictional action on the articular ends according to a specific algorithm. The complete removal of the degeneratively altered cartilage tissue of the articular ends together with the subchondral plate and the development of movements in the apparatus according to a given algorithm is performed. The method provides restoration of the structure and function of the joint.
