DISTURBANCES OF BONE BLOCKS IN THE OSTEOSYNTHESIS SPINAL DEVICE OF EXTERNAL FIXATION POSSIBLE TO PREDICT
The purpose of the study have developed a new method of preoperative prediction delayed the formation of a bone block in spinal osteosynthesis external fixation device. The study included 111 patients with vertebral fractures with external fixation osteosynthesis, of whom 16 people were slow fusion of the bone tissue. We investigated the immunophenotyping lymphocyte, functional and metabolic activity of neutrophils, the concentration of the major cytokines and antagonists of their receptors. Determined that preoperative lymphocyte 2,4x10<sup>9</sup>/liter and more associated with slow bone consolidation in more than 85 % of the cases investigated.
