FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: activity of blood serum alkaline phosphatase (AP) and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) is measured before the beginning and on 7-10th day of distraction in the patients undergoing surgical lengthening of extremity bones by Ilizarov's technique. The AP/TRAP relation is calculated. If the calculated AP/TRAP relation on the 7-10th day of distraction is within 120-150% with respect to the pre-operative value, no disturbed osteoreparative processes accompanied lengthening of extremity bones by Ilizarov's technique are stated in the patients. If the calculated AP/TRAP relation on the 7-10th day of distraction is less than 120% or more than 150% with respect to the pre-operative value, disturbed osteoreparative processes accompanied lengthening of extremity bones by Ilizarov's technique are stated in the patients.
EFFECT: improved assessment accuracy.
