[The method of replacement of defects in impression fractures of calcaneus. Porous NiTi or autotransplant?].

An experience with treatment of 149 patients with severe injuries of the ankle joint operated using constructions of titanium-nickelide and autotransplant from the iliac crest is presented. Porous NiTi being bio-inert to organism tissues, having high through porosity, the formation of consolidation of the fracture develops more rapidly. Application of porous NiTi allowed the period of disablement to be on an average 20 days shorter and long-term results to be reliably better.

[The replacement of resection defects of the bones by combined endoprostheses]. / Zameshchenie rezektsionnykh defektov kostei kombinirovannymi éndoprotezami.

The authors possess the experience of 32 operations in patients with various pathology. In 74% being operated good functional results are received during observation period from 3 months to 4 years.

[Bactericidal and bacteriostatic properties of Acryloxide copolymer in articular endoprosthesis]. / Bakteritsidnye i bakteriostaticheskie svoistva sopolimera "Akriloksid" pri éndoprotezirovanii sustavov.

Based upon bacteriological investigations the authors have proved bacteriostatic and sometimes bactericidal effects of the polymer material "Acryloxide". Endoprostheses made of it do not require sterilization which was demonstrated in operations of endoprosthesis of joints on 225 patients.

[Clinical and experimental bases for the use of Acryloxide in restorative surgery of the joints]. / Kliniko-éksperimental'noe obosnovanie primeneniia "Akriloksida" v vosstanovitel'noi khirurgii sustavov.

Experimental and clinical investigations showed good prospects of further studies of deformation characteristics of Akryloxide, particularly the elasticity module to judge of the degree of biological destruction of the plastics and possible prognosis of working efficiency of the polymer in individual endoprosthesis of joints.
