Objective: Bone metabolism was studied in patients with phosphate diabetes before and after medication.Methods: 39 patients with phosphate diabetes age 2–18 years (7.8±4 years, 64% male) and multiplanar deformities of the lower extremities were treated with monthly vitamin D (2000 IU/day), alfacalcidol (0.25 mg/every other day) and calcium glycerophosphate (600 mg/day) for 6 months.Biochemical indices were evaluated befor...

Purpose: To explore the features of bone metabolism and create a system of medical correction of violations in patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.Materials and methods: Based on the analysis of the survey results of 12 patients with different types of EDS aged 3 to 10 years (males - 8 patients, female - 4 patients) who were treated in Institute of Orthopedics and Traumatology,National Academy of Medical Sciences, Kiev, Ukraine from 2005 to 2015 years. ...

Goal: The use of intramedullary telescopic constructs for osteosynthesis in surgical correction of bone deformities in children with systemic skeletal disease can be complicated by delayed bony union, and the structural and functional pathology of bone in patients with these disorders do not always make it possible to avoid displacement of bone fragments and effectively correct the deformity.Methods: Analysis of treatment of 11 patients of femoral and ti...

Introduction: The effectiveness of intravenous pamidronate was assessed independently and in combination with corrective osteotomy surgery for lower extremity deformities in children with osteogenesis imperfecta.Methods: Orthopaedic treatment was conducted in 21 patients with OI (type I–ten patients, type III–11 patients), including 13 males and eight females with mean age 9.4±0.6. All patients received calcium supplements and active forms...
