[Significance of roentgenologic indications of osteogenesis in the choice of tactics in distraction osteosynthesis using G. A. Ilizarov's method in rigid pseudarthrosis].

On the basis of 274 observations the authors stated the conception of staged roentgenologic course of the osseous tissue regeneration in case of close distraction of rigid false joints according to G. A. Ilizarov. In line with visual appraisal of roentgenograms there were used roentgenometry and densitometry. There are described in details the stages of reparative regeneration and in accordance with them are given the tactical recommendation as to the selection of the distraction rate and its duration, the terms of loading and immobilization of fractures by means of perosseous apparatus. The tactics of the patient control with regard to the peculiarities of osteogenesis in the process of distraction allowed to decrease the number of failures in treatment of false joints by 2 times.
