ABSTRACT

Research of effective treatment methods in patients with pseudoarthrosis and lower extremities long bones defectsremains today very relevant. In the structure of traumatological patients general disability it takes up to 33.1% ofcases. Surgical techniques are used, such as: intramedullary osteosynthesis, method of open reposition and bonefragments fi xation by metal structures, method of transcutaneous osteosynthesis. They are recognized as effectivetreatment methods in patients with pseudoarthrosis and lower extremities long bones defects, that greatly improvestreatment outcomes. Unfortunately, when they are used as single intervention, unsatisfactory therapy results occurin up to half of the cases. Concomitant structural and functional changes of the limb – such as regional bloodcirculation insufficiency, presence of extensive cicatrical soft tissues defects, changes in bone segment length, joints contractures, etc. – interferes bone consolidation and requires an application of additional treatment methods. Thus,the generally accepted treatment approach in patients with pseudoarthrosis and lower extremities long bones defectsis a combination of surgery, pharmacotherapy, methods of physical therapy and physiotherapy in order to optimize the processes of osteoregeneration in non-union area.
