At the moment, osteosynthesis is the main method of treating injuries such as fractures and false joints of bones. We share the traditional recommendations that indicate that patients should use biological osteosynthesis. The broken bone is connected by blocks of titanium implants of small thickness, covered with layers of collagen matrix, which is taken from donor bone or synthetic materials - these are modern developments. The matrix already has certain regenerative properties, so this treatment allows those patients who are not undergoing chemotherapy or immunosuppressants to stay in the hospital for only one week. After the operation, we send them home, and within a month they begin active rehabilitation. And then the patient will need regular courses to increase activity, such as exercise therapy, therapeutic exercises, and light exercise. And this practice will allow us to have patients with a full range of medical services in one place.
Previously, metal structures with a diameter of 3 mm and fixation with screws were used. They are still used today, but to a limited extent. Our clinic uses Push&Twist® technology. 6 mm design. in diameter with six additional screws with a diameter of 2.7 mm. This technical solution increases the strength of fixation and reduces the likelihood of rejection of the structure.
Osteotomies or osteotomy surgeries are bone surgeries that aim to create a new bone shape or bone root by separating a portion of the bone along a specific plane. They are widely used to correct bone misalignment, create a new shape, and reduce stress on certain parts of the bone.
One of the most popular osteotomy operations is the osteotomy operation using the Bogoraz method. This operation is a variant of the open and closed osteotomy method, named after the Russian scientist Mikhail Bogoraz, who first developed the technique for performing these operations.
Osteotomy surgeries are performed to treat and correct various conditions of human bones such as malalignment, deformities, bruises, compression fractures, bow legs, capaconidism, pain syndrome, etc. They can also be used in traumatology, orthopedics, arthroscopy and neurological surgery.
One of the basic principles of Bogoraz osteotomy surgery is the use of fixation devices to help hold the bone in place after surgery. Various types of these devices include rings, plates, screws and other elements. Each case is individual and requires the use of various methods and techniques of osteosynthesis, which is determined by the surgeon based on the diagnosis and condition of the patient.
In addition, osteotomy surgeries may involve additional interventions such as blood transplants, hormone injections, and other procedures that provide additional therapeutic benefits. In general, it is important to understand that osteotomies are complex and specialized surgical procedures that are performed only by experienced surgeons with skills and knowledge in osteosynthesis and orthopedic surgery.
