Method for treating post-traumatic osteoarthritis of knee joint

Abstract

FIELD: traumatology; orthopedics; physiotherapy.SUBSTANCE: used to treat post-traumatic osteoarthrosis of the knee joint after surgery. On the 15–17th day of the postoperative period, local cutaneous exposure to nitric oxide is carried out at a pressure of 450–500 ppm for 5–8 minutes on each affected joint. The course of treatment consists of 10-12 daily procedures and is repeated after 3–4 months.EFFECT: method increases the effectiveness of treatment, halts disease progression, and achieves cartilage tissue regeneration in damaged areas through the combined anti-inflammatory and stimulating effects of nitric oxide under strictly defined pressure and exposure parameters, which allows for the achievement of sustained regression of osteoarthritis stages and the prevention of relapses.1 cl, 4 ex
