[Gastroduodenal ulcers in the practice of joint endoprosthesis].

The gastroduodenal ulcer rate and the gastrointestinal hemorrhage occurrence probability after total endoprosthesis of the hip and knee joint were studied. Of 526 patients in 4 (0.7%) after the total joint endoprosthesis operation the gastroduodenal ulcer had occurred, demanding the urgent treatment measures conduction. It is mandatory to conduct an adequate prophylactic measures to the patients, suffering pronounced gastropathy, according to anamnestic data available.

[First experience of bilateral hip joint prosthesis using DePuy ASR system].

Simultaneous bilateral hip joints prosthesis owes advantages over two-staged procedure, including the patients stationary treatment shortage, as well as duration of total operative time, total period of his disablement and financial expenses. Decision about application of such operations must be done individually, comparing the real criteria of risk for patient's life.

[First experience of the hip joint prosthesis using DePuy ASR system].

The system of the hip joint total endoprosthesis DePuy owes undoubted advantages over standard metal-polymer systems and constitutes the optimal one on the modern stage of endoprosthesis development for young patients, it permits to escape the revision prosthesis. Early return of the patients to labour activity and short period of adaptation constitute economical efficacy of the construction applied.
