Bogoraza Osteotomy

Bogoraz osteotomy is a surgical procedure used to correct bone and joint deformities caused by various diseases or injuries. It was developed by Soviet surgeon Nikolai Aleksandrovich Bogorazu in 1929.

A Bogoraz osteotomy involves cutting the bone at the site of the deformity and then moving parts of it to correct the shape of the bone. This can be done using special tools such as saws or cutters. After surgery, sutures are placed on the bone to help it heal properly.

One of the advantages of Bogoraz osteotomy is that it allows you to preserve the functionality of the joint and avoid complications associated with removal of the joint. In addition, this operation can be performed without the use of anesthesia, which makes it safer for the patient.

However, bogoraz osteotomy also has its disadvantages. For example, it may be less effective than other treatments, especially if the bone deformity is severe. In addition, surgery may require a long recovery period, which may include the use of crutches or other aids.

Overall, bogorase osteotomy is an effective treatment for bone deformities, but a thorough diagnosis and evaluation of the risks and benefits of this procedure is necessary before undergoing it.

In the period from 1926 to 1930 N.A. Bogoraz together with A.I. Mintsev and E.V. Shevchenko was treated for fractures and false joints of long tubular bones using intra-articular transplantation of autologous bones or allografts. If the explant was not previously fixed, and it remained unconnected to the tibia or femur, which required 6-9 months or more for its fusion, to treat such pathology, the technique of introducing a hemostatic sponge under the explant in the depths of the sac was used - forced removal of blood from the gap fracture by gently rubbing a “spongy” swab the size of a gauze pad into the soft tissue. Autograft transplantation was performed under local anesthesia with procaine. The wounds were sutured tightly. The victims were in skeletal traction, but not on the operating table. The experience of the method has shown that, regardless of the application scheme of the Illizarov apparatus, even when receiving
