RU32999U1 - Cuff for securing the second toe - Google Patents

Description

The utility model relates to medicine, namely to traumatology and orthopedics.

Known orthopedic devices for fixing the second toe. These include: plaster bandages, corrective leather cuffs of various orthopedic firms, adhesive cuffs, combined cuffs to eliminate hammer-like deformation of the fingers and simultaneously tighten the forefoot (J. Fuchs cuff (1927). Various devices in the form of sandals with special loops for hammer-like fingers (sandals of A. noffa (1894), I.M.Mitbraith (1949) (1,2).

The plaster cast is difficult to model on the second finger. Gypsum is a fragile material, it is not convenient for patients, it causes abrasions and skin sagging.

Leather fixing dressings of various companies are relatively expensive and not every patient can afford to purchase them for temporary fixation. In addition, they are not individually adapted for each patient. Additional fixation in the ankle joint using additional fasteners is required.

The utility model is based on the task of creating a device for the correction of the second finger, which is adapted individually for each patient, taking into account the anatomical features and the postoperative wound in the region of the I metatarsophalangeal joint, which avoids transarticular fixation of the second finger with the knitting needle in the postoperative period.

The back of the proximal phalanx of the second finger 1, adapted taking into account the anatomical features and the postoperative wound, with one end of the strip located under the first finger, on the inside of the foot to the heel, and the second passed under the proximal phalanges of 3-5 fingers, on the outer surface of the sole to calcaneal tuber, where both ends of the strip are fastened.

In fig. 1 shows the cuff fixed on the foot, where 1 is the frame for the back of the proximal phalanx of the second finger, 2 is the end of the strip under the first finger, 3 is the part of the strip skipped under the proximal phalanges of the third to fifth fingers.

After warming up a strip of thermolabile plastic (Aquaplast Watercolors) 1 cm wide in a water bath and eliminating subluxation of the second finger to the rear, orienting it along the axis of the second metatarsal bone, frame 1 was applied to the back of the proximal phalanx of the second finger so that it pressed it to the sole . The end of one half of the strip 2 was carried out under the first finger, then along the inside of the foot to the heel. The other half of the strip 3 was passed under the proximal phalanges of 3-5 fingers and along the outer surface of the sole to the calcaneal tuber, where the ends of the thermoplastic strip were fastened in tension.

The squeezing cuff is effective for use in the postoperative surgical correction of 2-3 fingers. Its small size and the possibility of removable use are convenient for patients, require a minimum of time and cost, and avoid transarticular fixation of the finger with a knitting needle.
