[THE BONE DEFECT HEALING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF RADIAL EXTRACORPOREAL SHOCK-WAVE THERAPY IN EXPERIMENT].

In experiment on 24 rabbits the processes of reparative osteogenesis in perforated defect of proximal tibial metaphysis under the influence of extracorporeal shock-wave therapy were studied. In accordance to data of clinical, roentgenological and morphological investiagations, conducted in terms 5, 15, 30 and 45 days of observation, there was established, that under the influence of extracorporeal shock-wave therapy in the bone marrow in the traumatic region a vasodilatation, as well as the blood cells exit from capillaries and sinusoid vessels with creation of massive regions of osseous endostal regenerate, guaranteeing the tibial integrity restoration, occurs.

[Role of correcting osteotomy of the first metatarsal bone in operative treatment of hallux valgus].

The results of treatment of 74 patients (109 feet), in whom a standard correcting osteotomy of the first metatarsal bone was done ( a control group) and of 34 patients (58 feet), in whom correcting osteotomy was performed in accordance to the improved procedure (the main group), were analyzed. The data of clinic-radiological investigations, estimation in accordance to the AOFAS scale, the pain syndrome severity in accordance to visual-analogue scale have constituted the criteria of estimation. There was noted a trustworthy improvement of a foot function in patiens of the main group from 52.
