- Regeneration zone in 90 persons with crus bones fractures was examined by ultrasound technique.40 patients underwent osteosynthesis by plates, 42 patients – osteosynthesis by rods with blocking. 7 patients demonstrated delayed consolidation in fracture zone. Scanning B-regime was used for evaluation of soft tissues status and regenerate; regimes of Doppler color drawing and energy dopplerography were used for evaluation of blood flow in the zone of interest. The examinations were done on 5th and 10th days, 1st, 2nd, 3rd , 4th and 5th months after operations. It was determined that the usage of ultrasound diagnosis in operative treatment in crus bones fractures allowed to evaluate the stages of bone regenerate formation at early stages of fractures, to get information on blood flow in injury zone and to estimate its intensity. Ultrasound examination at early stages of bone knitting consolidation allowed to predict fracture healing terms.
