METHOD FOR PREDICTING OSTEOGENESIS COURSE Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves filling bone defect with regenerate and carrying out bone tissue parameter study after performing surgical intervention. The study is carried out by measuring high frequency impedances of three areas, one of which includes the defect zone, and making comparison to control areas. Specific impedances of each area are calculated. The area containing the defect zone is considered to be the area under study. The areas occupying healthy portions of bone fragments are taken as control ones. Progressive reduction of specific impedance differences being found on the area under study and a control area, favorable osteogenesis course is to be predicted. The difference growing or staying constant, unfavorable osteogenesis course is to be predicted. EFFECT: enhanced accuracy of prediction.
