title: [The clinical-morphological estimation of the results of laser osteoperforation in treatment of chronic osteomyelitis].
abstract: The method of laser osteoperforation was approved in 135 patients with chronic osteomyelitis. The diode laser with wave length 970 mm and peak power up to 30 Wt was used. Energy was delivered by the percutaneous contact method with a quartz light guide of 0.4 mm diameter. All the patients had a distinct positive reaction in the nearest days after operation. The fistulas were closed within 4-10 days. Stable remission was noted during 2-5 years by objective indices (X-ray, fluometry, densitometry, morphological data). Our experiences with clinical use of laser osteoperforation show its high efficiency in treatment of chronic osteomyelitis. The method is minimally invasive and allows to considerably shorten the terms of treatment and rehabilitation.
