Kaplan-Bakycharov Bone Suture

The Kaplan-Bakycharov bone suture (also known as the Kaplan-Bakycharov bone suture) is a surgical suture developed by Soviet traumatologists Alexander Vasilyevich Kaplan and Yakov Pavlovich Bakycharov. The method was developed in the 1940s and became popular due to its effectiveness and simplicity.

The Kaplan-Bakicharov bone suture was created for suturing bones in fractures. This suture is used to connect bones at the site of a fracture or to reconstruct bone after tumor removal. The Kaplan-Bakycharov bone suture is one of the most common bone suturing methods.

The Kaplan-Bakycharov suture technique includes the following steps:

1. Bone preparation: the bone must be cleaned of dirt and blood, and also degreased.
2. Suturing: two parallel sutures are placed on the bone at intervals of 0.5-1 cm. The sutures should be placed on both sides of the bone.
3. Strengthening seams: seams are strengthened using special metal rods or screws.
4. Fixation: After sutures are placed, the bone is fixed in position using a plaster cast or other immobilization methods.
5. Postoperative care: After surgery, the patient should be under the supervision of a physician until the wound is completely healed.

The Kaplan-Bakycharov suture has a number of advantages over other bone suturing methods, such as:

– High seam strength: the Kaplan-Bakycharov seam has high strength and resistance to stress.
– Low chance of complications: This suture has a low risk of complications such as infection or rejection.
– Fast healing: the suture heals quickly and without complications, which allows the patient to quickly return to normal life.

However, like any other bone suturing method, the Kaplan-Bakycharov suture is not without its drawbacks.

The Kaplan-Bakicharov bone suture is a surgical method used to connect bones in fractures. This method was developed by two Soviet traumatologists - Anatoly Kaplan and Yakov Bakycharov - in the 1950s.

Kaplan and Bakicharov noted that when a bone is fractured, soft tissue ruptures often occur, which can lead to infection and bone loss. They suggested using special plates and screws to fix the bones, which help strengthen the fracture and protect the soft tissue.

During the operation, the surgeon makes an incision in the skin and soft tissue to gain access to the fracture. He then uses special tools to insert plates and screws into the bones. After this, he closes the wound and applies stitches.

One of the advantages of the Kaplan-Bakychar bone suture is that it allows you to quickly restore the function of the damaged bone and prevent the development of complications. In addition, this method allows to reduce the patient’s rehabilitation time and speed up his return to normal life.
