[Radionuclide research on reparative bone formation during the treatment of spiral bone fractures of the leg by G. A. Ilizarov's method].
A study was made of reparative osteogenesis and the content of mineral bone components in 60 patients with spiral fractures of the leg bones during treatment by transosseous osteosynthesis. The time of maximum labeled pyrophosphate accumulation was determined by a degree of the initial dislocation of fragments: in the dislocation to the cortical layer it was noted on the 42nd day, by 1/3 on the 45th day, by 2/3 on the 50th day, to the cross section on the 60th day. The demineralization of bone fragments in the dislocation to the cortical layer was 34%, by 1/2 37%, by 2/3 41% and to the cross section by 44%. The labeled sulphuric colloid accumulation by bone marrow cells was maximal in minimal dislocations and decreased with growing dislocation.

[Lymphoscintigraphy. A predictive test of post-traumatic lymphedema of the lower limbs].
Post-traumatic oedema after fractures of the tibia results from several causes which are often associated together. In addition to venous thrombosis, the lymphatic origin of oedema is not inconsiderable. Lymphatic scintigraphy was performed in 32 patients with tibial fractures, either open or closed. All were fixed internally. All had preventive treatment of venous thrombosis by calciparin. The intact leg was also investigated by scintigraphy which was done two to ten days after the trauma. The possible anomalies of scintigraphy are described and discussed. The patients were divided into two groups. Group one developed oedema at three months and group two did not. The anomalies of scintigraphy were significantly higher in group one. It is concluded that early scintigraphy is a safe test for the prediction of residual oedema after tibial fractures. The possible early prevention of oedema of a lymphatic origin is discussed.
