MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641009180 A) filed by Dr. Satish Shankar Nesari; and Khushi Satish Nesari, Belgaum, Karnataka, on Jan. 29, for 'book-closure osteotomy for infected tibial defects with concurrent correction of deformity and non-union.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Satish Shankar Nesari; and Khushi Satish Nesari.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a novel surgical method for management of infected tibial bone defects associated with chronic osteomyelitis, cavitary bone loss, infective non-union, and angular deformities. The method comprises radical debridement with preservation of a viable posterior cortical segment of the tibia, creation of a controlled longitudinal osteotomy along the posterior cortex, and closure of the osteotomized cortical segments in a book-like manner to eliminate the bone cavity and restore circumferential cortical integrity. Stabilization is achieved using internal compression fixation in combination with circular external fixation to allow controlled compression, deformity correction, and biological stimulation. The technique enables simultaneous eradication of infection, elimination of cavitary defects, correction of deformity, and promotion of solid bony union within a single reconstructive strategy, thereby reducing treatment duration, minimizing mechanical complications, and facilitating early functional rehabilitation compared to conventional reconstructive methods."
