Novikova Bone Suture

Novikov bone suture (Novikov-Novikov) is a method of surgical treatment of bone fractures, which was developed by the Soviet surgeon Nikolai Vasilyevich Novikov. This method became one of the most effective and safe ways to treat fractures at that time.

Novikov bone suture was based on the use of special metal structures for fixing bones. These structures consisted of several parts that were connected to each other using special screws and pins. Thanks to this method, the bones were quickly restored and healed without complications.

One of the main advantages of the Novikov bone suture was its simplicity and speed of execution. The operation was performed in just a few hours, which significantly reduced the patient's recovery time. In addition, this method was less invasive than other fracture treatments.

Despite its effectiveness, the Novikov bone suture had some disadvantages. Firstly, metal structures could cause allergic reactions in patients. Secondly, this method did not always provide complete fixation of the bones, which could lead to recurrent fractures.

Currently, the Novikov bone suture is rarely used, as more modern methods of treating fractures have appeared, which provide more reliable fixation of the bones and reduce the risk of complications. However, this method still remains popular in some countries, especially in developing regions where access to modern treatments is limited.
