Clinical and radiological parallels in congenital gigantism of the hand in children

Abstract

Analysis of clinical manifestations of congenital wrist gygantism was performed in 67 children. Working classification of that pathology that facilitated the choice of surgical tactics was suggested. The following examination methods were used: roentgenologic (39 patients), rheovasographic (33) and radionuclide (12). Scintigraphic data of blood circulation and osteogenisis was detected to conform the clinical forms of the disease. Neither roentgenography nor rheovasography showed that correlation. The advantages of radionuclide method are its relative simplicity, sufficient informativeness and trustworthiness, low radiation load as well as possibility to obtain the data concerning bone tissue, growth zones and blood circulation of damaged segment.
