Introduction: The problem of treatment of patients with pathology of ankle joint and
foot remains actual due to the high occurrence of the pathology and increasing of
number of technogenic trauma as well as military conflicts. The progress in the
development of surgery grew rapid with introduction of method of controlled
transosseous Osteosynthesis into the clinical practice. Material and methods: The
present paper is based on the experience of treatment of 537 patients (627
segments) aged 1 to 68 years. Patients' number with congenital pathology of the
ankle joint and foot was 59%, patients suffered from acquired pathology counted up
to 41%. The shortening of the tibia and foot were present from 0.5 to 18 cm. All
patients were treated out-patiently and had active life style in the process of
treatment. Result: The closest follow-up was studied in all patients in the period of
1.5-2 months at 6 and 12 months after the apparatus removal, and some results
were studied in 328 patients: "good" results were obtained in 91.1% of all patients,
"satisfactory" results counted up to 8.9%, and "non-satisfactory" was not revealed at
all. Conclusion: Thus, clinical introduction of the developed complex system of
surgical treatment of patients with ankle joint pathology and foot allowed for
increasing of effectiveness of specialized medical help, mostly within the limits of
preferably one-stage treatment process, excluding the recurrence of the pathology.
