ABSTRACT:
The orthopaedic endoapparatus designed to grow a new live shoulder and hip joint, to reconstruct a deformed joint or to restore a pathologically dysplastic and congenitally luxated joint, contains a figured hinge, consisting of a spherical knob engaged with a curved guiding member. The spherical knob is linked by an expandable connecting turnbuckle with an anchor-like pair of curved rods to secure the fixation of the endoapparatus to the hip or shoulder bone, while the guiding member is connected with an anchor-like member fastening the endoapparatus to the pelvis or to the scapula and clavicula. The endoapparatus allows one to connect the joint ends of the bones purposefully with regard to kinematics, maintaining during rest as well as during movements, effected in the provisional joint around a predeterminate point or some axes, a clearance between the faciae articularis indispensable for their conjunctive, congruent and complementary growth, terminated in covering the faciae articularis with a layer of supporting hyaline cartilage of the joint.
