MONOLATERAL SPINAL ANAESTHESIA IN CHILDREN
Abstract
Monolateral spinal anaesthesia as a component of general anaesthesia was compared to the spinal anaesthesia as a component of general anaesthesia for the unilateral low extremity orthopedic surgery in children. Analgesic effect of two methodics was analysed in 120 children (age 1-18 years old, ASA 1-2). Monolateral spinal anesthesia provides the same level of analgesia thus decreasing zone of desympathysation and providing more hemodynamic stability and decreasing loss of heat. Monolateral spinal anesthesia is not complicated with urinary retention in contrast to classic spinal anaesthesia. Monolateral spinal anesthesia is an effective alternative to a classical spinal anesthesia for the unilateral low extremity orthopedic surgery in children.

POSTBURN CICATRICAL FOOT DEFORMITIES IN CHILDREN: CLINICAL ASPECTS AND MANAGEMENT
Abstract
The cicatrical deformities of the foot and secondary changes in tendons, muscles and in osteoarticular system with respect to the age and scar location were discussed. It was pointed to a high risk of early development of foot deformities, especially in young children up to five years of age. This indicates the need for regular medical check-up. Clinical experience shows that the hypertrophic scars that extend from the lateral surfaces of the foot to the ankle region create preconditions for development of multiplanar foot deformities, especially in the period of intensive growth of the skeleton. Possible complications in the treatment of multiplanar foot deformities in the presence of scar lesions of surrounding tissues associated with an increased risk of trophic disorders and the development of the inflammatory process are considered. Recommendations on stages of surgical treatment are given.

MEDICAL CARE TO PATIENTS WITH COMBINED VERTEBRAL-AND-SPINE INJURY AT TRAUMATOLOGY CENTERS OF 1 LEVEL ON FEDERAL HIGHWAYS M5, M7
Abstract
The aim of the work is the optimizing the organization of medical care to victims of accidents on federal roads M5 and M7. The priority direction in improving outcomes of treatment in patients with polytrauma is an organization of all the processes of diagnostics, resuscitation and surgical treatment based on the timeliness and appropriateness. A special feature of motor accidents in Russia is a long period of patients isolation affected due to geographical features, that in combination with low temperatures increases the proportion of irreversible losses. In UGKB № 21 for the last 5 years 1315 patients with polytrauma were treated. A retrospective study of clinical data showed that among them persons with injuries of the locomotor system amounted to 1,196 (91%), abdomen - 79 (6%), chest - 197 (15%), central and peripheral nervous system - ИЗО (86%). The victims with vertebral-spinal injury amounted to 96 (8%). Surgical treatment was performed after normalization of the patient general condition from 2 to 5 phases of medical care, poor results were obtained in 4 (1%) cases. The most effective form of medical care organization for vertebral-spinal cord injury is a two-stage system.

THE STUDY OF RESULTS OF SURGICAL TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH VERTEBRAL-SPINAL TRAUMA
Abstract
A study of the efficacy of medical rehabilitation of 170 patients with spinal-cord injury through the application of modern rehabilitation and surgical technologies was conducted. Patients of I (control) group received standard set of conservative treatment and rehabilitation. Patients of II (main) group the rehabilitation was supplemented with therapeutic exercises with the use of loop complex «Hope» and the rate of adaptation to the stress of hypoxia in the late period of injury. Patient of III (control) group surgical treatment and the conventional range of rehabilitation were performed. Patients of IV (main) group the rehabilitation was completed with early activation using espandernogo complex «Hope» and the rate of adaptation to the stress of hypoxia in the late period of injury. It is proved that the developed complex rehabilitation of patients with spinal-cord injury using an early stable functional osteosynthesis with the minimum extent necessary, the use of complex «Hope» can improve the functional results at the expense of early motor activation, preventing the formation of contractures and muscle atrophy. The use of adaptation to the stress of hypoxia in the late period of vertebro-spinal cord injury improves overall health, reduces the severity of autonomic reactions, emotional stress, can cut pain syndromes.

EXPERIMENTAL EVALUATION OF CORRECTION FEATURES OF POSTTRAUMATIC KYPHOSIS OF THORACIC AND LUMBAR SPINE
Abstract
Experimental biomechanical study was performed in 60 spine specimens. Anterior wedge osteotomy and fixation of a specimen in a kyphotic position modeled kyphotic deformity. Deformity correction with various instrumentation systems was firstly performed by maximal extension of segments adjacent to kyphosis-producing block, and carried on after crossing of intervertebral anatomical structures. The study resulted in defining rational approach to surgical correction of posttraumatic deformities in the thoracic and lumbar spine. Minor kyphotic deformities are effectively corrected by instrumentation without mobilization of the spine. Large unfixed kyphosis sometimes requires anterior mobilization. Cases with rigid posttraumatic kyphotic deformity should be operated on with combined mobilization of the spine.

VERTEBRAL AND PERIPHERAL FRACTURES: DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS AND MEDICO-SOCIAL SIGNIFICANCE
Abstract
Medico-social significance of osteoporosis is determined by the high frequency of low-traumatic fractures of bone. According to the European Vertebral Osteoporosis Study the prevalence of vertebral fractures was 11,5% in women of 50-54 years of age and reached 34.8% in women of 75-79. The only prospective population-based study conducted in Russia have showed that the incidence of new vertebral fractures was 5,9% in men and 9,9% in women over 50. Stratified epidemiologic study conducted in St. Petersburg, have showed that in men the peak of clinical fractures, developed with minimal trauma, was at the age of 20-24 and 65-69. In women the peak of fractures was determined at the ages 50-54 years. It has been suggested that early administration of antiosteoporotic drugs can effectively prevent vertebral and peripheral fractures.

THE TREATMENT OF OSTEOPOROTIC VERTEBRAL FRACTURES USING KYPHOPLASTY
Abstract
In article results of treatment of 20 patients more senior 60 years with osteoporotic fractures of thoracolumbar spine. To all patients has been executed percutaneous kyphoplasty. In process kyphoplasty restoration of ventral departments of the broken vertebra on 15+6.2 % is reached. Correction of a local kyphosis angle is reached in limits 5-10e (7,3+2,5e). Recourse of a painful syndrome with 7,1+1,9 to 2,1+1,7 on a visual analogue scale is noted. In the remote period it is noted increases in a painful syndrome, increase of a local kyphosis angle and deformations of a body of a vertebra. Thus, percutaneous kyphoplasty, being a minimally invasive astabilisation technique, allows to restore strengthening characteristics of bodies of vertebras, to increase height ventral departments of bodies, correction of the biomechanical infringements resulting fracture thereby is reached.

THORACOSCOPIC SURGERY FOR SPINE AND PARASPINAL NEUROGENIC TUMORS
Abstract
There is our experience of thoracoscopic surgery treatment of primary and metastatic spine tumors and paraspinal neurogenic tumors including "dumbbell". Thoracoscopic approach impressively decreases of complication rate in comparison with open surgery and considerably increase quality of life. Activization time for the patient with thoracoscopic surgery was 5,36+3,34 (for neurogenic paravertebral tumors 3,40+2,31). Comparison endoscopic and microsurgical methods demonstrate advantages of endoscopic technologies. Further development of neuroendoscopy in spinal surgery makes possible to increase effectiveness of treatment of various spine pathology. We conclude that neuroendoscopy is new and effective method of treatment not only degenerative diseases but is really effective technology of tumor resection both extra and intramedullar.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE TREATMENT OF THE EOSINOPHILIC GRANULOMA WITH VERTEBRAL INVOLVEMENT USING ORTHOPEDIC CORSET AND SURGICAL OPERATION
Abstract
The results of treatment of 72 patients with pathological fracture of vertebra bodies against eosinophilic granuloma a spine are analysed. Orthopedic corset technologies are used in treatment of 42 patients, surgical treatment was applied. Orthopedic corset may be used in patients with eosinophilic granuloma of backbone. This method of treatment was used in a case of the absence of spine secondary deformations and neurologic semiology. Orthopedic corset treatment is associated with long immobilization on the average within 1,5-2 years and never leads to a complete recovery of the damaged spine. Surgical treatment consists in use only at loss of height of a body to 30-40%, when destruction of spine more severe it is necessary to use operative treatment in two stages. Absolute indications to surgical treatment are the neurologic deficit and secondary deformations of a spine. Surgical treatment allows to reduce terms of treatment till 3-4 months and quickly to return the patient to an active life.

TRANSORAL REMOVAL OF SKULL BASE AND C1-C2 VERTEBRAL BODY TUMOURS AND NONTUMOROUS PATHOLOGY IN THE CRANIOCERVICAL JUNCTION ACCOMPANIED BY CRANIOVERTEBRAL INSTABILITY
Abstract
27 patients aged 2,5-61 years with skull base and C1-C2 vertebral body tumours and nontumorous pathology in the craniocervical junction underwent surgery. All patients revealed craniovertebral instability. To perform OSD we used autobone and metallic wire in 1 case, "Ventrofix" - 2; "CCD" - 9, "Vertex" - 15. In 26 cases OSD was followed by transoral tumor removal; in 1 - removal of the skull base chordoma spreading into C1-C2 segments was followed by OSD. In our practice we used original patent instruments, devices and surgical techniques. After the tumor has been removed, the skull defect hermetic closure and plasty were performed using the original patent technique for preventing postoperative CSF leakage as well as different glue compositions. This technique proved to shorten hospitalization period and reduce treatment costs as well as launch an early rehabilitation programme - on the 3d-4th day after operation. Use of new technologies in surgical treatment of skull base tumors invading upper cervical spinal segments accompanied by craniovertebral instability allowed to improve surgical outcome and start up early rehabilitation.
