ELIMINATION OF ANGULAR DEFORMATIONS OF LARGE JOINT BONES IN CHILDREN

The results of treatment of pediatric patients with deformities of the bones forming the knee joint were analyzed. It was revealed that restoration of the biomechanical axis of the limb does not occur when the deformity is eliminated due to the formation of a wedge-shaped distraction regenerate. Taking into account the causes of the above complications, we have developed additional units for the Ilizarov apparatus, which allow correct restoration of the limb axis at any stage of the formation of the distraction regenerate. We have proposed an algorithm for eliminating the deformity, taking into account the restoration of the limb axis, which makes it possible to achieve better long-term results in the treatment of this group of patients and prevent the development of early gonarthrosis
