The problem of the ankle arthrodesis technique improving requires new solutions.</p> <p><bold><italic>The aim of the study</italic></bold> was to compare the stability of various fixation systems in ankle arthrodesis by the finite element method.</p> <p><bold><italic>Methods.</italic></bold> The finite element method was used to evaluate the biomechanical characteristics of three variants of ankle arthrodesis systems: three cancellous screws, the originally designed plate combined with two cancellous screws, when the screw in the proximal plate’s hole is cortical, and the same plate combined with two cancellous screws, when the screw in the proximal plate’s hole with angular stability. The stresses and strains under the application of various types of loads are studied.</p> <p><bold><italic>Results.</italic></bold> In the anterior plate ankle fixation model combined with two cancellous screws and a proximal cortical screw, the implants and the talus experienced the least stresses compared to the other two models. Thus, the maximum equivalent stress in implants in the second variant was 68-124 MPa, in the first variant 92-147 MPa, in the third variant — 130-331 MPa. The equivalent stress in the talus in the second version of fixation ranged from 20 to 46 MPa, in the first and third versions — 28-58 MPa and 47-65 MPa, respectively. The indicators of maximum contact pressure at the border of the tibia and talus turned out to be the highest in the first variant compared to the other two models (34 MPa, 31 MPa and 31 MPa, respectively).</p> <p><bold><italic>Conclusions.</italic></bold> Among the studied ankle fixation systems for arthrodesis, an anterior plate combined with two cancellous screws and a proximal cortical screw is the most preferable in terms of biomechanics.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold><italic>Актуальность.</italic></bold> Несмотря на значительное количество разнообразных методик, применяемых для артродеза голеностопного сустава, ряд авторов указывают на определенные технические сложности указанных операций, потерю коррекции заданного положения таранной и большеберцовой костей в процессе анкилозирования, несращения. Проблема совершенствования методики фиксации при артродезе голеностопного сустава требует новых решений.</p> <p><bold><italic>Цель</italic></bold> — сравнить методом конечных элементов стабильность различных вариантов систем фиксации при артродезе голеностопного сустава.</p> <p><bold><italic>Материал и методы.</italic></bold> Методом конечных элементов выполнена оценка биомеханических характеристик трех вариантов систем фиксации голеностопного сустава при артродезе: три спонгиозных винта, разработанная пластина, комбинируемая с двумя спонгиозными винтами, проксимальный винт в пластине кортикальный, а также разработанная пластина, комбинируемая с двумя спонгиозными винтами, проксимальный винт в пластине с угловой стабильностью. Изучены напряжения и деформации при приложении различных видов нагрузок.</p> <p><bold><italic>Результаты. </italic></bold>В модели фиксации голеностопного сустава передней пластиной, комбинируемой с двумя спонгиозными винтами и проксимальным кортикальным винтом, имплантаты и таранная кость испытывали наименьшие напряжения по сравнению с двумя другими моделями. Так, максимальное эквивалентное напряжение в имплантатах при втором варианте составило 68–124 МПа, при первом варианте — 92–147 МПа, при третьем — 130–331 МПа. Эквивалентное напряжение в таранной кости во втором варианте фиксации составило от 20 до 46 МПа, в первом и третьем вариантах — 28–58 МПа и 47–65 МПа соответственно. Показатели максимального контактного давления на границе большеберцовой и таранной костей оказались наибольшими в первом варианте по сравнению с двумя другими моделями (34 МПа, 31 МПа и 31 МПа соответственно).</p> <p><bold><italic>Заключение.</italic></bold> Среди изученных систем фиксации голеностопного сустава при артродезе применение передней пластины, комбинируемой с двумя спонгиозными винтами и проксимальным кортикальным винтом, является наиболее предпочтительным с точки зрения биомеханики.</p></trans-abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="zh"><p/></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>biomechanical modeling</kwd><kwd>ankle arthrodesis</kwd><kwd>plate</kwd><kwd>cancellous screws</kwd><kwd>finite element method</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>биомеханическое моделирование</kwd><kwd>артродез голеностопного сустава</kwd><kwd>пластина</kwd><kwd>спонгиозные винты</kwd><kwd>метод конечных элементов</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Morash J., Walton D.M., Glazebrook M.
