Activation of Reparative Osteogenesis by Means of Ultrasonic Action in Treatment of Open Fractures

Leonid Reznik, Konstantin Rozhkov and Alexey Novikov

Violation of reparative regeneration of bone tissue in treatment of open fractures is an actual problem. The main method of treatment of open fractures - extra focal osteosynthesis - does not solve all the problems of treatment, as regeneration requires stimulation. One of the stimulating factors is low-frequency ultrasound. The article describes a new method of activating regeneration by sonication and device for its implementation, ensuring the results in the improvement of treatment of open fractures through a combination of extra focal osteosynthesis and low-frequency ultrasonic treatment. It is visible that the contact ultrasonic treatment promotes earlier pain relief, increased density of callus, reduces the effects of unfavourable factors that lead to the formation of sluggish consolidation, pseudoarthrosis. Thus, the contact ultrasonic treatment under extra focal transosseous osteosynthesis improves the results of treatment of open fractures
