Complex Radiation Diagnostics of Non-Healed Fractures and Post-Traumatic False Joints of Long Tubular Bones

Abstract

The dependence of severity, and accordingly, the number of complications and consequences, including false joints, on the mechanism of injury is known. Recently, there has been an increase in the number of injuries resulting from exposure to high kinetic energy (road traffic, firearms), leading to an increase in disability. In this regard, in order to reduce the severity of the social consequences of injuries, specialized assistance to victims, the introduction of new diagnostic and treatment technologies, both at the stage of primary care and at the stage of treatment of consequences, is becoming important. The purpose of the study. To improve the diagnosis of ungrown fractures and post-traumatic false joints of long tubular bones by using complex ultrasound diagnostics. The study of patients was carried out in a supine position or sitting at rest and was carried out both under conditions of plaster immobilization and without it. During plaster immobilization, the sensor was positioned through a "window" in the plaster splint, while control from the healthy limb was carried out in the same position of the sensor as on the affected side.
