ASSESSMENT OF MILITARY PERSONNEL LIFE QUALITY BEFORE AND AFTER COXARTHROSIS COMPLEX TREATMENT WITH GIPLURONIC ACID

Recovery of motor activity of military personnel of power structures and athletes after aggravation of deforming arthrosis of the hip joint (coxarthrosis) remains today an unsolved problem. The causes of deforming arthrosis are contusions of the soft tissues of the hip joint, long-standing injuries of its capsule-ligamentous apparatus, long-term loads on the musculoskeletal system in athletes during training and competitions, as well as the impact of cold on the body. The consequences of untimely and ineffective treatment of osteoarthritis are expressed in a decrease in motor activity and quality of life, the inability for health reasons to maintain their physical fitness at the required level, the transition of a soldier to a dynamic observation group for medical reasons, a decrease in the quality of performing military professional duties for official purposes in daily activities and combat situations, the termination of military applied and other sports. Despite the wide range of different treatment methods, the issue remains very relevant. For this purpose, the Department of surgery for injuries and diseases of the extremities of the outpatient clinic of the Kirov Military medical Academy treated 35 servicemen suffering from coxarthrosis using intra-articular njection therapy with hyaluronic acid preparations. Assessment of the quality of life of patients and the condition of the affected joint before and after treatment was evaluated using clinical methods, SF SF-36 and the Vash questionnaire. The analysis of the obtained results allows us to speak about the effective treatment of coxarthrosis with hyaluronic acid preparations, which is reflected in the improvement of clinical signs, as well as the criteria for assessing the quality of life.
