Abstract
The authors presented new method of plasty of postoperative bone defects in patients with chronic forearm osteomyelitis using muscle flap, which is formed of musculus pronator qvadratus. This method was used in 58 patients. Good or excellent results were obtained in 60% cases, satisfactory – in 35%, unsatisfactory – in 5%. In the long-term average force of fist capture on the operated hand was 24,8±3,7 kg and on the healthy – 37,1±5,5 kg (66,7% of intact). The developed method allows to perform the bone defect plasty with a skin deficit and a significant inflammation of the surrounding soft tissues, reduces the recurrence risk and treatment time by optimizing the wound healing process
