[Studies with 99mTc-pyrophosphate of reparative osteogenesis during treatment of closed oblique fractures of the long tubular bones].
    Meditsinskaia radiologiia, 1985, Volume: 30, Issue:2

    Altogether 56 patients aged 20-55 with closed oblique fractures of the upper and lower limb bones were observed. Reparative osteogenesis was studied using 99mTc-pyrophosphate. An elevated RP accumulation at the ends of the bone splinters was found from the 1st day after fracture. By the end of the 1st month after fracture the RP activity increased up to 750% in the absence of splinter dislocation. In dislocation it was 50-80% less. The RP maximal activity in the place of fracture was noted on the 7-8th week, in the dislocation of splinters on the 9-10th week. By the results of radionuclide studies, the fracture consolidated right after a decrease in the 99mTc-pyrophosphate accumulation that made it possible to determine the optimum time of bone consolidation.

[Radionuclide studies on healing in closed transverse fractures of the long tubular bones].
    Meditsinskaia radiologiia, 1985, Volume: 30, Issue:2

    A total of 86 patients were examined by 99mTc-pyrophosphate in the course of therapy using the transosseous synthesis method. An elevated accumulation of the radiopharmaceutical was observed since the first day following a trauma. Maximum enhancement of metabolic processes in the absence of fragment displacement was noted on the 8th week and in the lack of displacement on the 9th-10th week. Then the intensity of bone formation got weaker. It was found appropriate that G. A. Ilizarov's apparatus should be removed exactly at that time. The content of mineral components in the regenerate was over 60% which demonstrated the bone ability to stand physiological loads.
