A device for Correction of deformities of the chest, such as pectus excavatum and Pectus Carinatum and Method for Correction of Pectus Carinatum

摘要

A device for Correction of congenital malformations of the chest wall such as pectus excavatum and Pectus Carinatum, which includes a bar with flat cross section (10), which has a minimum flexural Strength values as determined by the ASTM F - 382 - 95Plate (20) having a Groove (21) in the Middle part to fit the corresponding end of the rod (10) and (23) Perimeter holes for fixing the bone Parts. An improvement comprising) levels (11 - 11 ') at the ends of the Bar by a Wall thickness substantially equal to the height of the groove (21) of the plate (20).The Wall of the rebates (11, 11 ') has aligned Holes (13) to form the respective plate (20) and through the use of Screws (30), a detachable fixed connection that allows the registration of the axial rod (10).A method for Correction of Pectus Carinatum using the improved device, where the bar (10) is Curved by copying the previously procidencia (PR), is introduced in front of the sternum and deformed cartilage with the concavity of the support bar on the anterior side of the sternum.Subsequently two Plates (20) are inserted in the lateral (Axillary) region of the thorax (T) effectively gluing them together two ribs (AC), Upper and Lower, by pericostales Points (P) Steel Wire and the Holes (23) of the plates.Mount the ends (11, 11 ') of the bar in the grooves of the plate corresponding to match two consecutive Holes (13) of the bar with two threaded Holes (25) of each Plate, fixing the Union with the Screws (30), thereby exerting the necessary pressure on the face. To achieve a higher Sternal chondral anatomically Normal to The Rib cage.In deferred form and, where necessary, may increase the compression of the anterior protuida (PR) without removing the implant, by removing the Screws (30) and moving the ends (11-11) to match other two consecutive Holes (13) with holes (25) The plates, fixing with screws (30).
