Objective – to determine the risk factors of hospital mortality associated with limb amputations in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD).

Materials and methods. We performed a retrospective analysis of 656 case reports of PAD patients who underwent transtibial or transfemoral amputations. Independent factors influencing the level of hospital mortality were identified using the binary logistic regression.

Results. The hospital mortality risk increased 4.9 times in amputation at the level of femur, 3.3 times – in presence of diabetes mellitus, 2 times – in patients older than 60.

Conclusions. The risk factors of hospital mortality in PAD patients undergoing limb amputations are transfemoral amputation, age above 60, and the presence of diabetes mellitus.

Key words: atherosclerosis; diabetes mellitus; tromboangiitis obliterans; lower limb ischemia; amputation; prognosis; mortality.

Objective – to assess recovering the parameters of limb functional status in the long-term periods after treatment of patients with multiple fractures of lower limb bones with the Ilizarov method.

Methods: dynamometry, podography, distribution of limb weight-bearing statically and in walking. There was an examination of 89 injured subjects (age of 45.7 ± 14.08) with multiple fractures of lower limb bones in the long-term periods (2–10 years) after treatment according to Ilizarov.

Main results. Weight-bearing asymmetry of the limb involved (10–20%) continues both statically and in walking 3 years after treatment. The podogram time- and strength-related parameters conform to the standard in 89 % of observations. The recovery level for the dynamometric parameters of foot and leg flexors and extensors is determined by the involvement degree of segmental soft tissues for direct and indirect mechanism of injury. The rate of recovering the muscle strength of leg extensors is slower than that of leg flexors.

Conclusions. The maximum rate of recovery of the muscle strength of the limb involved is registered within one year after the fixator removal. Subsequently, the rate of recovery slows sharply, and the gain in dynamometry parameters doesn’t exceed 10 % over the next two years. Asymmetry of the parameters of muscle dynamometry in the femur continues two years after the fixator removal for closed double femoral fractures – up to 25 %, for open double femoral fractures – up to 70 %; and that in the leg continues up to 40 % for closed double leg fractures and to 60 % – for open double leg fractures. The recovery of limb functional status parameters is determined by range of motion in the involved limb joints. There is no gain in muscle strength when range of motion is achieved in the lower limb joints responsible for gait symmetry.

Keywords: injury; long-term results; dynamometry; podography.

CLINICAL AND BIOMECHANICAL RESULTS OF SURGICAL TREATMENT OF L4 DEGENERATIVE SPONDYLOLISTHESIS

Krutko A.V., Peleganchuk A.V.

Novosibirsk Scientific Research Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics,

Novosibirsk, Russia

Objective - to estimate the efficacy of surgical treatment of L4 degenerative spondylolisthesis using 360 degrees fusion either combined with dynamic interspinous fixation of the superjacent spinal segment or not.

Material and Methods. Prospective study included analysis of information obtained on stages of the surgical treatment in 97 patients with clinical signs of the L4 degenerative spondylolisthesis. Patients underwent clinical anamnestic, neurological, radiological, radiopaque and biomechanical examinations, MRI and multi-layer spiral CT studies, and questionnaire survey.

Results. Analysis of the biomechanical parameters in our patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis of the L4 vertebra showed somewhat better results in group with dynamic interspinous implant in comparison with no-implant group. Evaluation of postoperative pain dynamics showed lower mean pain intensity at 3 to 6 months and at 1 year after decompression and stabilizing surgery in both groups of patients. However, the regional pain syndrome intensity assessed with VAS was almost twice as lower in the implant group at 3-, 6-, and 12 months follow-up.

Conclusion. The combination of rigid and dynamic fixation in the treatment of degenerative spondylolisthesis provides 15% increase in the number of good results as compared with stand-alone rigid fixation due to elimination of pain by means of unloading of the posterior support complex of the superjacent spinal segment.

Keywords: degenerative spondylolisthesis; surgical treatment; spinal biomechanics.

Byalik E.I., Fayn A.M.

Sklifosovsky Research Institute for Emergency Medicine

Scientific Research Institute of Rheumatology,

Moscow, Russia

Background. Fixation of damages in pubic area with reconstructive plates in many cases does not provide sufficient stability, especially in severe concomitant injuries.

Objective – to improve efficiency of consequent treatment of pubic area injuries through the development of methodology of the external fixation of pelvis and application of the original external fixator.

Materials and methods. We applied our new plate for fixation of damages in pubic area in 315 patients of the main group. In 63 patients of the control group the osteosynthesis of such damages was made with reconstructive plates.

Results. In 15 cases in the control group (23.8 %) we observed migration of plates and screws and their fractures. There was no fixator failure in any patient of the main group. Excellent and good functional results were achieved in 78.2 % of the patients in the main group and in 61.8% of patients in the control group.

Conclusion. The original plate showed the high efficiency in treatment of anterior pelvic ring injuries.

Key words: unstable pelvic injuries; external pelvic fixation; internal pelvic fixation; reconstructive plate; original plate.

CLOSED intramedullary nailing IN treatment OF forearm shaft fractures

Chelnokov A.N., Lazarev A.Y.

Chaklin Ural Scientific Research Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics,

Ekaterinburg, Russia

Introduction. Closed nailing has not been widely accepted in the treatment of forearm shaft fractures because of difficulties of closed restoration of atomy, in particular, rotational alignment of the radius and restoration of radial bow to prevent functional deficit.

Objective – to develop surgical technique of closed fixator-assisted forearm nailing.

Materials and methods. Closed intramedullary nailing was performed in 144 patients with forearm fractures (121 (84 %)) and non-unions (23 (16 %)). There were lesions of both bones in 57 (39.6 %), ulna - 54 (37.5 %), radius - 33 (22.9 %). For fixator-assisted nailing we used a device consisted of a half-ring proximally and a ring distally. The distal part of the forearm was fixed in neutral rotaton regardless of the fracture level. For rotational control of the proximal fragment of the radius a joystick K-wire was used. Interlocking and non-locking nails were used. The ulna was nailed first.

Results. Patients demonstrated fast functional recovery. Full range of motions occurred in 1 month after the surgery in 112 (78 %) of patients, and in 2 months in 140 (97%). DASH functional score improved from 21 ± 3.9 in 1 month to 3.7 ± 1.9 in 2 months. Non-union of the ulna occurred in 5 cases (3.4 %), of the radius - in 1 case (0.7 %). Exchange reamed nailing was performed in ulna and plating with bone grafting in the radius nonunion.

Conclusion. The technique provides good alignment of both bones which results with quick functional recovery and high union rate. Closed nailing can be treatment of choice in forearm shaft fractures. Negative perception of forearm nailing is caused mostly by in adequacy of conventional reduction and nailing techniques rather than implant designs.

Key words: fractures; forearm; closed intramedullary nailing; Ilizarov device.

Pathogenetic characteristics of lesions in lower limb distal arteria in patients with diabetic foot

Kolobova O.I.

Altay State Medical University,

Barnaul, Russia

Diabetic foot syndrome of ischemic type is conditioned by predominant lesion of leg and foot arteria which are situated in the region of excessive orthostatic arterial pressure. Previously it was clinically found the role of orthostatic angiohypertension and angiospasm of lower extremities in pathogenesis of thromboangitis which has clinicoanatomic similarity with diabetic foot that does not exclude generality of development mechanisms.

Objective – to study the role of orthostatic angiohypertension of lower limbs in lesion of lower limb arteria in diabetes mellitus.

Methods. Using leg and foot renovasography, 30 patients with diabetes mellitus were examined. In 22 patients the signs of lower limb peripheric arteria lesions were found. In 8 patients the signs of arteria lesion were not found.

Results. In the patients with diabetes mellitus without clinical signs of obliterating lesion of peripheric arteria, as well as in healthy persons, in vertical position the orthostatic tonic reaction of lower limb vessels was observed. In several cases the identified changes had signs of angiospasm that was connected with disorder of vascular tone neurohumoral regulation. It favored development of distal angitis of lower limbs and local ischemic disorders. In diabetic foot syndrome the reactivity of arteria of feet and legs is significantly decreased because of restructuring and neuropathy.

Conclusion. In formation of distal angitis in lower limbs in patients with diabetic foot syndrome the important role belongs to regionary orthostatic angiohypertension.

Key words: diabetes mellitus; diabetic foot; orthostatic distal angiohypertension; angiospasm; distal angitis of lower limbs.

MICROBIAL COMPOSITION CHARACTERISTICS OF PRESSURE SORES IN THE COURSE OF TRAUMATIC DISEASE OF THE SPINAL CORD

Filatov E. V., Ovchinnikov O. D., Trebushchenko N. V.

Novokuznetsk Scientific Practical Center of Medicosocial Expertise and Rehabilitation of Disabled Persons, Novokuznetsk, Russia

Study subject - 247 patients with traumatic disease of the spinal cord who were admitted to the department of neurosurgery in 2002-2004 and had pressure sores.

Objective - to study the microbial composition of pressure sores, its correlation with the duration of wound and with prior admissions.

Materials and methods. We studied the microbial composition of pressure sores in 131 (53.0%) patients. Microbiological study of the pressure sores was performed prior to surgical treatment and during conservative treatment in order to choose optimal antibacterial therapy.

Results. We found that Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa prevailed in the structure of the microbial agents of pressure sores. When pressure sores had existed less than 3 months or more than 1 year the microbiological study found monoculture of some pathogenic organism. The microbial picture of wounds existing more than 3 months and less than 1 year involved associations of organisms.

Conclusion. Thus, associations of different organisms were seen in patients who had spent most of the time in hospital, while patients who had been at home most of the time had monocultures.

Field of application: surgery, traumatology, neurosurgery, microbiology, rehabilitation.

Key words: traumatic disease of the spinal cord; pressure sores; microbial composition of wound.

Object of research - morphometric measurements of area of the foramen magnum with radiologic methods (multispiral CT and MRI) in severe craniocerebral trauma.
Objective - studying of opportunities of radiologic methods of research in diagnostics of axial dislocation of brain in severe craniocerebral trauma with quantitative assessment of degree of infringement of the brain stem in the foramen magnum.
Materials and methods. Complex clinical and radiological examination of 119 patients with severe craniocerebral trauma in the acute period was conducted. Complex inspection included neurologic survey, assessment of extent of violation of consciousness according to Glasgow coma scale, ultrasonography of the head, chest and abdomen cavities, CT and MRI. In the different time terms after trauma 89 patients were operated for intracranial hematoma and brain crush injury locations, among them – 48 victims (54 %) during first 6 hours after admission.
Results. CT and MRI of the brain and craniovertebral region in the axial view were used for evaluation of the area of the foramen magnum (S1). Later there was an examination of the total area of the tonsils of the cerebellum (S2) displaced into the foramen magnum, with the subsequent calculation of coefficient (Co) of infringement of the brain stem in the foramen magnum using the formula: Co = S2:S1×100 %. At the value of coefficient of infringement of the brain stem in the foramen magnum to 20 % the degree of infringement was considered as moderate, at the value of an indicator from 21äî 30 % – considerable and at the coefficient of infringement of the brain stem in the foramen magnum more than 30 % – expressed.
Conclusions. Radiological diagnostics in severe craniocerebral trauma with calculation of coefficient of infringement of the brain stem allows allocating quantitatively three degrees of the axial dislocation of the brain: moderate, considerable and expressed. Each degree of the axial dislocation has its own clinical neurologic symptoms with the important signs in the view of dissociation of deep reflexes and muscular tone on the longitudinal axis of the body, and also the absence of corneal and oculocephalic reflexes. Multispiral CT as the method of emergency inspection has the high diagnostic efficiency (within 81.8 - 87.1%).
Key words: severe craniocerebral trauma; axial dislocation; radiological diagnostics.

Objective - to analyze the effect of Kostma osteoplastic material on the processes of bone tissue regeneration in experimental vertebral osteomyelitis.
Materials and methods. The experiments were performed in the male rat tail vertebrae. To study the osteogenesis processes the osteomyelitic defects were filled with Kostma. Clinical observations, radiological and morphological study of specimen (from different animals) were used in 1, 3 and 6 months after operation.
Results. The signs of osteoclastic bone resorption and osteoblastic bone formation are observed when Kostma is used for osteoplasty of osteomyelic spinal defects. This suggests the existence of osteogenic activity and capacity for biodegradation. Osteoblasts form a newly generated bone tissue around Kostma fragments with development of bone block. The absence of connective tissue capsule testifies to a high degree of the material biocompatibility.
Conclusion. The developed experimental model of rat vertebral osteomyelitis allows investigating processes of reparative osteogenesis and the effect of Kostma on it. Using of the Kostma osteoplastic material favors the biotransformation and formation of the bone block within 6 months after replacement of a vertebral osteomyelitic defect, because the transplant takes part in reparative osteogenesis. Surgical debridement of vertebral osteomyelitic process with use of Kostma promotes formation of the bone block and full regress of the inflammatory events with absence of recurrence, and leads to recover of an animal.
Keywords: backbone; osteomyelitis; osteogenesis; biomaterial.

Objective – to review the modern methods of intracranial pressure control.
Invasive monitoring, mainly external ventricular drainage, still remains a “gold standard” îf neuromonitoring in treatment of patients with brain injury, but this manipulation can be not always feasible, because of contra-indications or absence of neurosurgery in this hospital. Now the attention of experts is drawn by the researches devoted to comparison of values of intracranial pressure, measured invasive and noninvasive methods.
This review presents the various techniques of noninvasive control of intracranial hypertension: radiological methods, including a computer tomography and a magnetic resonance imaging, a transcranial Doppler, analysis of encephalograms, audiological methods, ophthalmoscopy and others.
Noninvasive methods have a set of advantages, thus it are less exact in comparison with direct measurement of intracranial pressure, however each of them is potentially perspective.
Key words: intracranial pressure; monitoring.
