[Restoration of articular movement after injury using the Volkov-Oganesian appliance]

Volkov-Oganiesian's apparatus takes over the whole statical and dynamical load and releases the articulation completely. The apparatus fills the gap created between the articular surfaces both in statical and dynamical respect, it eliminates the friction and overcomes also the effect of the reflex muscular contracture. In the same time it eliminates also the superfluous muscular movements, since the apparatus is fixed firmly to the bone, and the exact centring of the articular ends (being of extreme importance in the surgical treatment of the luxation and subluxation) promotes the formation of the newly developed articular surfaces.
