The work is devoted to improving the effectiveness of treatment of patients with complications and consequences of fractures of the long bones of the extremities by improving and developing new surgical techniques aimed at early individual social and household rehabilitation due to the maximally complete and rapid restoration of the integrity and functions of the damaged segment. Reconstructive operations were performed in 285 patients with delayed fracture consolidation, incorrectly fused fractures, false joints, and false joints with chronic osteomyelitis. The analysis of the applied treatment methods effectiveness from the viewpoint of optimizing the treatment process allowed us to develop an algorithm for the surgical treatment of patients with complications and consequences of fractures of the long bones of the extremities. The use of the proposed algorithm in surgical treatment maximally eliminates possible errors and increases the treatment effectiveness.

Abstract There is no report of the application of intraoperative computed tomography to the extremities, and its usefulness is not mentioned. We present a case of a patient with the elbow pain and loss of the forearm rotation due to the prominent bicipital tuberosity of the radius, which was diagnosed as enthesopathy. Surgical treatment to excise the prominent part of the bicipital tuberosity of the radius was recommended. However, it is difficult to perform the appropriate excision of the abnormal prominent part because of complications such as bicipital tendon rupture. The patient was successfully treated by surgical resection under the control of intraoperative computed tomography. Intraoperative computed tomography scan is a useful tool to assess the remaining volume of the abnormal bones.

Objective. To analyze the peculiarities of surgical treatment of a mitral stenosis, complicated by massive thrombosis of left atrium. Маterials and methods. The group analyzed, operated in the Institute, consisted of 344 patients. Thrombosis of left atrium was considered a massive, when thrombotic masses have occupied no less than one third of its volume, not mentioning an auricle of atrium. Results. Hospital lethality after change of a mitral valve have constituted 4.2% and directly depended on from a degree of the left atrium thrombosis (р < 0.05). After open mitral comissurotomy hospital lethality was not observed, witnessing the expediency of the thrombosis matrix extraction. Conclusion. During the operation for a massive thrombosis of left atrium it is important to remove a maternal base of thrombotic bed and to eliminate the left atrium auricle, what lowers essentially the risk for lethality and thromboembolic complications on a hospital stage. Doing preoperative computed tomography of head and abdominal organs constitutes obligatory condition for exclusion of a hidden thromboembolism occurrence.

Double aortic arch is a rare vascular anomaly which causes tracheal and esophageal compression usually in the first months of life. Typical symptoms in the early childhood should lead to prompt diagnosis and surgical treatment of this malformation. In adults this anomaly is extremely rare. A case of a severely 29-year-old symptomatic woman is presented. Despite characteristic symptoms, the diagnosis was missed during childhood. The importance of different diagnostic procedures and operative therapy is discussed. Preoperative angiography can be replaced by the less invasive magnetic imaging and computed tomography. Surgical operation should also be performed in oligosymptomatic patients to prevent late complications.

AbstractAn 18-month-old miniature donkey was presented for evaluation and treatment of a left carpal valgus present since birth. Clinical examination confirmed the severe and unstable carpal valgus. Radiographs and computed tomography revealed a caudally luxated ulnar carpal bone, malformation of the distal radial epiphysis, as well as a complete collapse of the lateral part of the radiocarpal joint. Outward rotation of the limb distal to the joint collapse was also visible. Surgical treatment was elected and a pancarpal arthrodesis performed using two short 3.5 mm locking compression plates. Ten months later, the donkey was pasture sound and radiographs showed complete fusion of the carpal joints.
