Сlinical possibilities of the method of controlled transosseous osteosynthesis in hand and foot surgery

Abstract

Study of the results of treatment in patients with hand and foot pathology, treated in the clinic of Russian Scientific Centre “Restorative Traumatology and Orthopaedics” (RSC “RTO”), analysis of publication materials of the Centre workers, reports of fulfilment of scientific research works (SRW), specifications of author certificates of the USSR, patents for inventions and certificates to utility models of the Russian Federation are taken as a basis of the work.
These possibilities have been thoroughly used in 200 and more original treatment techniques for specific nosologic forms of hand and foot pathology. A part of these developments is represented in 85 designs, made at the level of inventions and utility models and introduced to clinical practice, out of which there are 50 ways of treatment, diagnostics and functional rehabilitation of patients and 35 technical means for their realizations. Moreover, most part of the developments has been made in the last 10 years, demonstrating not only possibilities, but further prospects of development of the trend in orthopaedics and allowing to speak about the method as a developing system. The techniques, developed and used in the aggregate, allow to perform radical restorative treatment in patients with all the known nosologic forms of hand and foot pathology practically, providing complete functional restoration of these limb segments, put into normal cosmetic form.
