Summary: In this project we shall try to proove and describe genesis of wounds of soft tissue and bone. On the basis of hydrodinamic experiments we should find the most apropriate way of washing of infected wound holes in soft tissue and bone with application of a new drain. On mathematical model of some bones with method of end elements we should try to find most appropriate osteosynthetic procedure. In this study we shall exam validity of a new threedimensional external bone fixateur of our own construction in healing of complicated bone fractures. Such trials would give aid to better knowledge of problems in healing of acute and chronic osteomyelitis and infected wounds.

Keywords: wound infection osteomyelitis drainage computer osteosynthesis planning fixateur externe

Research goals: Goal of our experiments is to proove: a) Mechanism of genesis of soft tissue and bone injurys. b) On the basis of hydrodynamic trials find the most appropriate way of wound washing in soft tissues and long bones. c) To make a mathematical model of some bones with end elements method and confirm possibility of fractures genesis. With computer assistance optimyze the most appropriate ostesynthetic procedure. d) Explore bacteriologycaly infected wounds and on the basis of that exploration find the most appropriate way of therapy with use of warious therapeutical methods. e) Clinical end experimental examination of threedymensional external bone fixateur in therapy of long bone fractures. On the basis of that proposed trials we should be abble from biomechanical and biochemical point of view to understand mechanisams of injurys which would result with bone fracture. f) Practical use of computers for planing the way of therapy in warious bone fractures. g) Finding of new cahteter for wound washing on the basis of hydrodynamic experiments. h) Finding of most appropriate method for therapy of chronic osteomyelitis and long-term evaluation of this therapy. i) Finding and construction of a new modell of external bone fixateur and its comparation in efficacy of therapy with conventional ones.
