[The results of using arteparon after orthopedic operations]. / Rezul'taty primeneniia arteparona posle ortopedicheskikh operatsii.

Arteparon was locally used in 87 patients after reconstructive surgery on the joints. Arteparon administration was conducted 2 weeks following corrective operations: arthrotomy, allo- and autoplasty, replantation of the limb segments, arthroplasty, one-pole endoprosthesis. The drug was introduced into the hip, knee, ankle, wrist joints. Follow-up 6-24-month results demonstrated due to the drug improvement of the surgical outcomes because of normalization of the internal joint medium and providing the conditions for the cartilage regeneration. Two courses of arteparon must be the minimum during one year.

[Biomechanical substantiation of prosthetics of the ankle joint]. / Biomekhanicheskoe obosnovanie éndoprotezirovaniia golenostopnogo sustava.

In an effort to study the causes of postoperative instability of ankle joint endoprostheses, local mechanical properties of the osseous tissue of tibia and talus were studied in terms of physiological loading on 19 cadaverous preparations in the zones, subjected to resection with the purpose of implant setting. High sensitivity of spongiosa tissue to the local mechanic action and significant reduction of the strength characteristics to the depth from subchondral layer have been noted. It has been ascertained that the main cause of the postoperative instability is the excessively voluminous bone resection, dictated by the structural limitations of the used endoprostheses. Admissible tibia and talus resection zones in case of ankle joint prosthetics have been determined.
