Surgical Treatment of Scoliosis during the Period of Uncompleted Spine Growth
Abstract
Outcomes of surgical treatment of 34 patients aged from 9 to 15 years (mean age
11.7 years) with basic curvature arch from 43 to 148° (99° average). In 9 patients dorsal correction and spine fixation by CD system without intervention on the vertebral bodies was performed (1st group). In 25 patients diskepiphysectomy (including thoracoscopic one in
7 patients) and interbody spondylodesis on the apex of the convex basic arch were performed prior to dorsal correction. Then halo-pelvic traction was performed for 7-10 days followed by dorsal fixation of the spine by CDI without posterior spondylodesis (2nd group). Subsequently depending on the degree of correction loss due to spine growth step-by-step corrections of the deformity were performed. After spine growth completion final instrumental correction and fixation of the spine with posterior spondylodesis were performed. In the 1st group step-by-step corrections were to be performed in 77% of cases, in 2nd group - in 28% only. It was shown that performance of diskepiphysectomy on the apex of the deformity with following correction and CD system fixation of the spine decreased the rate of postoperative spine deformity progression, eliminated asymmetric growth of vertebrae on the deformity and increased the achieved correction. In the process of patients' growth wedge shape of the vertebral bodies decreased in frontal and sagittal planes and no increase of their torsion-rotation changes occurred.

Plasty with Pedicle Muscular Flaps at Treatment of Infectious Complications after Stabilizing Operations on the Spine
Abstract
Experience in use of transferred pedicle muscular flaps for the treatment of 7 patients with infectious complications after previously performed stabilizing operations on the spine is presented. Revision interventions showed failure of implanted transpedicular constructions on the background of osteomyelitis with vast infected cavities. To compensate for vast wound defects with soft tissue deficit that remained after removal of stabilizing systems and necrectomy plasty with transferred muscular flaps was performed. Primary wound healing was achieved in all cases. At follow up from 1 to 4 years relapse of pyo-inflammatory process in the zone of intervention was detected in no one case.

New Measures for Prevention of Intra- and Postoperative Complications at Total Hip Replacement
Abstract
The reasons of intraoperative and early postoperative complications i.e. implant dislocation and periprosthetic fractures, after hip replacement were analyzed and ways of their surgical prevention were elaborated. After 497 operations dislocation of the femoral component was detected in 24 (4,8%) cases including 15 - in the early postoperative period. The main reason of complication was inobservance of the prescribed motion activity regimen in the first postoperative days. In primary joint replacement periprosthetic fractures occurred in19 (3,8%) cases: in 15 (3%) cases the fracture developed intraoperatively and in 4 (0,8%) cases - after patients' discharge from the hospital. Application of the elaborated techniques of surgical prevention enabled to minimize the risk of such complications.

Efficacy of Tranexamic Acid Application for Blood Loss Reduction in Total Hip Arthroplasty
Abstract
Prospective study of tranexamic acid use results (native preparation Tranexam) in primary total hip arthroplasty was performed during the period from March to October 2009. The study involved 159 patients (55 men, 104 women) with various hip joint pathology (79 patients - main group, 80 patients - control group). Mean age of patients made up 55.7 years (17 - 80 years). In patients from the main group 15 mg/kg Tranexam was injected just prior to operation with reinjection of the same dose in 6 hours. In control group etamsylate (750 mg 30 minutes prior to incision with reintroduction in 4 - 6 hours, daily dose up to 1500 mg) was applied. The results of the analysis showed reliable (p<0.001) decrease of total blood loss in the main group (409±228 ml) as compared to the control group (638±437 ml). The reasonability of the use of tranexamic acid for reduction of blood loss in total hip arthroplasty was shown.

Tribochemical Component of Oxidizing Stress Development at Joint Replacement. Part I. Determination of Radical-Forming Ability of Wear Particles from Various Orthopaedic Materials
Abstract
Using the model reaction of cumene oxidation the radical-forming ability of wear particles of some orthopaedic alloys and corundum ceramics were studied. It was revealed that wear particles from different alloys catalyzed cumene oxidation whereas particles of corundum ceramics were inert. Cobalt alloy wear particles were much more active as compared with the titanium alloy and stainless steel particles. Production of cobalt alloy by laser sintering reduced the radical-forming ability of its wear particles. Activity of cobalt wear particles was preserved for a long time after their formation and could considerably strengthen the development of oxidizing stress at joint arthroplasty. Detection of catalytic activity of orthopaedic alloys' wear particles requires studying of the influence of free radicals generated by tribochemical reaction upon implant components and biological tissues.

Modern Technique for Proximal Femur Osteosynthesis at Reconstructive Operations on Hip Joint in Children
Abstract
Set of instruments and metal fixatives for osteosynthesis in corrective operations on proximal femur in patients aged 1-15 years was elaborated at CITO. Comparative experimental strength tests showed the advantages of suggested metallic fixatives over existed analogs (fixatives from DON set and Blount plate). Cannulated system for angular metal fixatives application provided for proper setting of the construction, shortened the duration of surgical intervention and decreased operative trauma. That set was used for the treatment of 169 children with various types of hip joint pathology. Average duration of surgical intervention made up
45 min. (versus 95 min. at routine surgical technique). Bone fragments displacement, loss of correction, instabi-lity of osteosynthesis and other complications were not observed at follow up less than 1 year.

Closed Intramedullar Osteosynthesis in Surgical Treatment of Children with Diaphyseal Femur Fractures
Abstract
Outcomes of surgical treatment for diaphyseal fractures of the femur were analyzed in 270 (278 interventions) out of 509 patients being admitted to the clinic since 1999. In overwhelming majority of patients (226 children) closed intramedullar fixation of bone fragments (231 operations) was performed. Closed intramedullar osteosynthesis was performed using flexible and rigid rods including the locking ones. Elastic-stable osteosynthesis is indicated for the treatment of under school age children with type A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3, C2 fractures as well as junior school age children with type A1, A2, B1, B3, C2 fractures. Presented technique can be considered as a gold standard in this group of patients. Closed intramedullary osteosynthesis by rigid rod without locking is the optimum technique for the treatment of junior and senior school age children in bearing injuries of types A3 and B2. Method of choice in senior school age children with A1, A2, B1, B3, C1, C2 and C3 fractures is closed intramedullar osteosynthesis with locking rod. Preliminary extrafocal fixation in multiple and open injuries creates optimum conditions for delayed intramedullar osteosynthesis.

Ultrasound Study of Radial Nerve Projective Anatomy Relative to Lateral Humerus Aspect
Abstract
Location of radial nerve relative to lateral humerus was studied using US scanner in
17 volunteers (7 men, 10 women) aged 19-54 years. Conditional humerus length (acromion-olecranon distance) ranged from 31 to 39 cm. Radial nerve transacted lateral humeral diaphysis 11.3±1.9 cm (from 8 to 15 cm) proximal to lateral humeral epicondyle. Distance between lateral humeral epicondyle to radial nerve made up 31.9% of humerus conditional length. Awareness of obtained data may be helpful at performance of surgical intervention on the humerus.
