CHANGE OF INDICES OF MINERAL DENSITY OF BONE TISSUE AT CHRONIC TRAUMATIC OSTEOMYELITIS

Abstract

Comparative analysis of changes of indices of mineral density of bone tissue in patients with chronic traumatic osteomyelitis with different terms of shin synostosis, with united and ununited fractures was performed. Dependence of synostosis terms on the degree of decrease of mineral density of bone tissue on injured extremity was determined. Basing on the study of system and regional indices of mineral density on bone tissue we developed methods of prediction of bone tissue regeneration that allow to reveal disorder in the regeneration process, determine approximate terms of synostosis and estimate effectiveness of the treatment.
