ORTHOPAEDIC APPLICATION WITH BIOLOGICAL BONE OF ANIMAL ORIGIN FOR BUNION SURGERY

Description

Description of the patent application for a utility model entitled: *** Technical field The present invention concerns the use of bone organic animal origin with the addition of collagen and biodegradable polymer (smart bone) in innovative surgical and / or orthopedic applications. The product thus obtained is perfectly compatible for use in the surgical field as it is totally absorbable and does not involve any type of rejection by the patient of the human body. Known technique Animal bones have gained attention for their potential advantages over traditional materials for autotransplant or allotransplant. Animal bones, such as bovine or equine bones, have been studied as alternatives to autotransplantation or other materials for joint fusion. These bones can serve as bone graft substitutes, providing a scaffold for the growth of new bone and facilitating the merger. Several studies have focused on the evaluation of biomechanical properties of animal bones. These researches have shown that animal bones can provide a comparable or superior mechanical resistance and stability compared to traditional grafting materials. Animal bones possess osteoinductive properties and intrinsic osteoconductive, which promote the bone regeneration and integration. These properties are attributed to the presence of growth factors, collagen and other bioactive components in the bone matrix. In recent years, various methods have been explored to prepare and process animal bones. These techniques include decellularization, demineralization, sterilization and preservation methods to optimize graft integration and minimize risk of rejection or infection. Preliminary clinical studies have shown results promising results on the use of animal bones in orthopedics. These studies reported improved functional outcomes and reduced complications, suggesting the potential of bones animals as a valid alternative. Despite these positive results, they have realized further research is needed to address some limitations. Among these, the long-term evaluation of the melting rates, comparative studies with other materials from grafting and the investigation of potential reactions immunological or on the risks of disease transmission associated with animal bone grafts. Solution to the technical problem: the claimed invention has the great merit of being, thanks to its peculiar shape and composition, perfectly usable to intervene on hallux valgus using the Seri technique. The advantage main thing is that there is no need for any intervention removal of the claimed apparatus. Operation: The apparatus, made with animal bone and with the shape and dimensions described in the drawings (1: vision internal; 2: external view) can be used in the treatment of hallux valgus through the Seri technique. SERI technique is a well-known, simple, effective and rapid technique for the correction of hallux valgus but the use of a innovative ad hoc apparatus made of animal bone allows for avoid operations involving the removal of nails or other items.

Claims
