[Reconstruction of vascular bed in the affected segment of the leg in patients with defects of the crural bones complicated by chronic osteomyelitis].

The article analyses the results of medical rehabilitation of 176 patients with defects in the leg bones complicated by chronic osteomyelitis by methods of transosseous osteosynthesis. In average hospitalization terms of 380.8 +/- 15.6 days, medical rehabilitation was achieved in 88.6% of patients. The results of complex clinical and laboratory examination of 46 patients by means of angiographic, radionuclide, and physiological methods confirm gradual correction of the initial regional arterial insufficiency which was combined with anatomical and physiological rehabilitation of the affected leg by the end of treatment. It was established that the high clinical result of the developed methods of transosseous osteosynthesis is based on the formation of a new zone of the vascular channel in the affected limb segment.
