ABSTRACT
On the basis of computer tomographic investigations of 28 patients with subcutaneous ruptures of the Achilles tendon in different terms after the injury and its restoration by means of open and transcutaneous suture there have been revealed possibilities of the method. Computer tomographic syndromes of the tendon damage (increase of diameter by 2-3 times, spherical form of the cross section, density decrease, presence of hematoma, deformation of the front outline of tendon) and the signs of its continuity restoration have been determined. Identity of the computer tomographic data of comparison of tendon centres by open and closed sutures has corroborated reliability of the obtained criteria. Computer tomographic investigations in dynamics testify to significant changes in damaged tendon and +para-tendon tissues as well as to the duration of the process of its healing.

Computer tomography data on 124 patients with degenerative-dystrophic diseases of hip joint of different etiology are presented. As indicated the results of investigations, computer tomography of hip joint is the effective method of early diagnosis of femoral head aseptic necrosis. Computer tomography application allows to detect precise location, size and character of the pathology process in hip joint and propose the optimal parameters of surgical correction. Femoral head densitometry in case of femoral head aseptic necrosis revealed the curves of two types: with unimodal and bimodal density distribution. Patients with bimodal histograms demonstrated worse results of surgical treatment.

Computer-aided tomography of the carpal canal was performed in 30 patients syndromes of the carpal canal and in 20 healthy persons. Topographoanatomic interrelations of carpal canal structures were specified, degenerative and dystrophic alterations of the carpal bones, proliferation of the connective tissue, displacement of carpal structures and of the median nerve itself were revealed.

The article presents results of the computer tomography examination of 205 patients at different terms after operations who were clinically suspected of the development of a limited pyo-inflammatory process in the abdominal cavity or retroperitoneal space. Abscesses were revealed in 112 patients, inflammatory infiltrates in 16 patients, the development of purulent complications was excluded in 77 patients which allowed relaparotomy to be rejected in 93 patients. The computer tomography symptoms of abdominal abscesses were established. The dependence of the abscess semiotics on the stage of the suppurative process, its specific localization, intra- or extraorganic disposition, contents and size of the abscess was shown.

Examination of 49 patients suspected of the presence of a suppurative process in the subdiaphragmatic space was performed. The use of computed tomography allowed the author to exclude the subdiaphragmatic abscess in 22 (44.9%) of the patients, in the others the exact localization of the abscess, its size and relationships with the neighbouring organs were determined. Results of the computed tomography were of great importance in choice of the surgical tactics for treatment of the patients.
