[Radiodiagnosis of the reparative osteogenesis during the treatment of comminuted fractures of the humerus].

Roentgenoradiological control of a reparative process after diaphysial comminuted shoulder fractures was exercised at all stages of the treatment after G. A. Ilizarov's method. Osteoscanning permitted the assessment of the viability of bone splinters on the first days after trauma and quantitative assessment of the activity of osteogenesis. A study of the optical density of radiograms provided an opportunity for evaluation of mineral content in regenerating bones, their structure only at late stages of treatment when it was rather high.
