Method for producing a defined
bone fracture with accompanying
soft tissue injuries in a preparation (106) comprising bone and
soft tissue mantle, where the term
soft tissue mantle is understood to mean all the body's own tissue surrounding the bone of a specimen (106), including muscles, ligaments, tendons, joint capsules, nerves,
skin and vessels, wherein a device (100), (200) is used to carry out the method, which i. at least one guide column (118), (218), ii. at one end of the guide column (118), (218) a base plate (101), (201), iii. a crossbeam (109), (209) with stamp (111), (211), iv. at least one means (110), (210) for adjusting the damping upon
impact of a defined
mass, v. at least one clamping plate (107), (207) for fixing the specimen, vi. a
mass (112), (212) and, if necessary, additional weight (113), (213) for setting the defined
mass, vii. at least one further cross member (115), (215) with at least one releasable holding mechanism (114), (214) for positioning the defined mass and means for fixing the preparation (102), wherein shock absorbers are used as means for adjusting the damping upon
impact, characterized in that a defined force impulse is exerted on a fixed preparation (106) and the change in the length of the preparation (106) along the
force vector is limited to a maximum of 80 mm by setting a defined compression and a defined damping by means of shock absorbers, wherein a) the defined
bone fracture is a
distal radius fracture, b) a preparation (106) comprising or consisting of hand and
forearm is selected, c) a defined mass of 16.6 to 23.1 kg is set, d) the preparation (106) is aligned in a defined geometry with respect to the direction from which the defined mass impacts the preparation (106) when the holding mechanism (114), (214) is triggered, by means of means for fixing the preparation (102), e) the defined speed is set to 76 to 110 cm by means of the fall height of the defined mass, f) the defined compression is set to 20 to 36 mm with at least one
shock absorber, g) the defined damping is set as the damped part of the defined compression to 5 to 17 mm, h) the holding mechanism (114), (214) is triggered, i) the preparation (106) is removed from the device (100), (200).
