Abstract

External fixation apparatus (EFA), hing-distraction and compression-distraction, were used in 30 hemophiliacs for the treatment of hemophilic arthrosis, intra-articular and extra-articular fractures, contractures, dislocations, as well as after synovectomy. The treatment was conducted under cryoprecipitate protection, the dose of which was significantly decreased after granulation around the pins was completed. Immediate and late results of the treatment showed its higher effectiveness as compared to other correction methods (gypsum etc). After correction with EFA repeated hemorrhage and trauma were less frequent, and mean annual cryoprecipitate expense decreased five-fold. No severe complications were recorded. EFA enable successful treatment of such diseases of the locomotor system that are unaffected by other therapeutic measures.
