[Selection of the treatment method in diaphyseal fractures of 2 segments of the upper or lower limbs].

The authors propose a working scheme to choose the method of treatment of diaphyseal fractures of segments of the upper and lower extremities with an obligatory application of perosseous osteosynthesis by the Ilizarov apparatus in combination with other curative measures. The scheme described was used in 26 patients and gave good anatomical and functional results.

[Surgical treatment of chronic osteomyelitis as radical surgical treatment of a suppurative-necrotic wound].

From 1977 each operation for chronic posttraumatic osteomyelitis was considered as a radical surgical intervention performed for the first time by the type of primary surgical treatment of the wound. Such an approach required a radical dissection of necrotic and all non-viable tissues in the focus of lesion. The method of radical surgical treatment of pyo-necrotic wounds in combination with modern means of the conservative therapy allowed 236 out of 486 patients to regain their labour ability.
