Biochemical parameters of blood serum in patients with chronic posttraumatic osteomyelitis of the leg during treatment by the Ilizarov method

Purpose. To evaluate the biochemical changes in patients’ organism dynamically during posttraumatic osteomyelitis treatment by the Ilizarov method. Materials and Methods. Blood serum biochemical parameters studied in 15 patients at the age of 20-55 years with chronic posttraumatic osteomyelitis of the leg. The technique of monolocal compression osteosynthesis used in six patients (Group 1). Bilocal distraction-compression osteosynthesis (Group 2) used in nine patients who required additional surgical intervention, tibial osteotomy to fill the developed defect that performed 3-4 months after wound healing and purulent process stopping. The activity of phosphatases, lactate dehydrogenase, creatinase studied, as well as the concentration of general calcium, phosphate, magnesium, general protein, triglycerides, general cholesterol and glycolysis products determined. Results. The reliable (p
