[Congenital pseudarthrosis of the crus in children and its treatment]

In the article are presented the peculiarities of creation and development of congenital false joints of the crus bones, worked out a new modern classification of pseudoarthroses with regard to their etiology and phasic development. For the first time, on the basis of cloning of the osteogenic cells--precursors, there have been carried out studying of osteogenic "potencies" of the zone of congenital false joint and "soundness" of transplanted autospongiosa of the upper flaring portion of the ilium. There is presented a differentiated approach to utilization of different plastic materials (autospongiosa, allogenic decalcified bone matrix). There have been developed new methods of prophylactic and reconstructive--restorative osseoplastic operations in children with false joints of the crus bones.
