METHOD OF TREATMENT OF DISTAL RADUIS POSTTRAUMATIC DEFORMITY

Abstract

A new method for correcting malunions of the distal metaepiphysis of radial bone using cortical-cancellous autologous transplant from its diaphyseal part. The correcting osteotomy with bone autotransplantation of the proposed method and osteosynthesis of radius using plates with angular stability were performed in 8 patients. Treatment results were evaluated according to the scheme Cooney-Krimmer, «DASH»-questionnaire, as well as the scheme developed by the authors. The union of bone fragments obtained after an average of 2,7 + 0,3 months. In a year after surgery excellent results were obtained in 3 patients, good results - in 5.
