METHOD OF PREDICTION OF HIP REPLACEMENT RESULTS Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC G01N33/53 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely to orthopaedics, and can be used to predict hip replacement results in early postoperative period. To implement said method, the patient's blood is sampled prior to and 1.5 months after operation to evaluate biochemical markers bone resorption and formations. If in postoperative period as compared to preoperative one, Cross-Laps level increases at least twice, while osteocalcin increases no more than half as much, apparent prevalence of resorption processes not compensated by intensified osteogenesis is diagnosed, while high risk of aseptic instability of endoprosthesis is predicted.

EFFECT: application of the invention allows accelerating, simplifying and improving accuracy of prediction of hip replacement results.
