TECHNOLOGY OF CREATION OF INDIVIDUAL 3D PRINTED ORTHOPEDIC INSOLES
A clinical, biomechanical examination and survey on the international scale AOFAS of 20 patients were conducted, which were treated with the use of individual orthopedic insoles in the PFRMC of the Ministry of Health of Russian Federation from 2016 to 2017. Among them there were 12 women, the average age was 56 ± 3.8 (95 % CI 52-61), and 8 men, mean age 47 ± 2.4 (95 % CI 44-51). Patients were divided into 2 groups depending on the type of pathology: 1 group (bone ankylosis after arthrodesis for posttraumatic osteoarthritis of the ankle III-IV stage) - 15 patients, 2 group (diabetic foot syndrome) – 5. The examination was carried out within 6 months after initiation of treatment using individual insoles. In all groups, a statistically significant (p <0.05) improvement in both the AOFAS questionnaire and the biomechanical examination of the patients was noted. The use of individual orthopedic insoles in the treatment of patients not only made it possible to restore the limb's ability to support, to alleviate the pain syndrome, but also to bring the gait closer to the physiological norm, with the restoration of habitual loads and the improvement of the quality of life.
