  • Title: [Compression arthrodesis of the hip joint].
    Author: Buachidze OSh, Onoprienko GA, Cherkasov OV.
    Journal: Sov Med; 1991; (2):17-20. PubMed ID: 2057831.
    Abstract:
    The results of surgical treatment of grave degenerative dystrophic, traumatic, and inflammatory coxarthroses are discussed. Employment of present-day compression arthrodesis with metal plates designed by the authors helped achieve the union of articulated bones in 97% of 170 patients. This method essentially improves the results of treatment, as against the traditional methods; due to solid fixation of compressed bones the terms of complete rehabilitation of patients are shortened, and no prolonged immobilization with a plaster bandage is necessary.
