[Knee angular deformity correction using unicorticotomy and callus distraction by external fixation method and presentation of new external fixation device for varus correction of proximal tibia].

The main goal of this paper is to present clinical results of surgical correction of angular (varus and valgus) deformities of knee area. Goal is also to present new external fixation device for surgical treatment of varus deformity of proximal tibia. As material it has been used series of 70 patients treated during the period of 6.

Nature and results of treatment of war wounds caused by cluster bombs.

The aim of this study is to describe the nature of war wounds with fracture caused by cluster bombs and to suggest treatment options for such injuries. The nature of wounds caused by cluster bombs differs from those caused by conventional arms (they are more severe). The sides of the wounds are represented by conquasated soft tissues (such as fat and muscle) with thick dead tissues, ordinarily with a thickness of 0.

[Methods of the physical medicine therapy in prevention of heterotopic ossification after total hip arthroplasty].

Background/aim: In the prevention of periarticular heterotopic ossification (HO), a common complication after total hip arthroplasty (THA), nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAID) and irradiation are used. Some theories presume that local hypoxia of the soft tissue causes HO. The aim of this study was to investigate if the early use of pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) could prevent this ossification since it accelerates the circulation and oxigenation of soft tissue.
