[Changes in parathyroid hormone levels during the treatment of fractures of long tubular bones using the Ilizarov method]. / Izmenenie kontsentratsii paratireoidnogo gormona pri lechenii perelomov dlinnykh trubchatykh kostei po metodu G. A. Ilizarova.

Content of parathyroid hormone in blood plasma was studied in the course os treatment of 62 patients with fractures of crus bones. Alterations in the hormone content, depending on the type of trauma, were observed: the most severe injures caused the most distinct alterations. Maximal increase in the hormone content were observed during the initial period of the treatment, contributing to lysis of bone fragments and to formation of bone organic matrix. Decrease in the parathyroid hormone content coincided with complete consolidation of bone fragments. Content of the hormone was normalized within 35-42 days.
