[Radionuclide studies of reparative osteogenesis during modeling the shape of the leg]. / Radionuklidnye issledovaniia reparativnogo kosteobrazovaniia pri modelirovanii formy goleni.

The time course of metabolic processes in the osseous tissue and the capillary blood circulation in the forming osseous regenerate and the bone as a whole were studied in 16 patients using pyrophosphate and DTPA. The results of radiometry made it possible to give a quantitative evaluation of regeneration intensity: during intensive osteogenesis the accumulation of labeled pyrophosphate increased up to 720%, and the capillary blood circulation speeded up to 380%. Before the completion of osteogenesis the drug accumulation decreased considerably up to 250%.
