Pseudofracture: An Acute Peripheral Tissue Trauma Model
Published on: April 18, 2011
[Pseudarthroses of the bones of the extremities of gunshot origin]
Abstract:
The causes of formation of false joints of shot origin are given in the present paper. The treatment included internal and transosseous osteosynthesis. In presence of fistula form of the chronic osteomyelitis preliminary necr- and sequestrectomy carried out. The shortening was resected by bone osteotomy and distraction by apparatus combined with false joint compression. The most frequent appeared to be purulent complications and nonremoved extremity deformity. Adhesion was achieved after 151 operation.

Functional Classification of Joints
The functional classification of joints is determined by the amount of mobility between the adjacent bones. Joints are functionally classified as a synarthrosis or immobile joint, an amphiarthrosis or slightly moveable joint, or as a diarthrosis, a freely moveable joint. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints can be functionally classified as either synarthroses or amphiarthroses, whereas all synovial joints are classified as diarthroses.
