OBJECTIVE The aim: To improve the results of treatment of patients with multiple gunshot fractures of long bones by developing the technology of fixation method conversion with combined autoplasty and postoperative telemedical control (loading +ROM (range of motion). PATIENTS AND METHODS Materials and methods: Two comparison groups were formed: the main (84 patients) and the control (62 patients). For the patients of this group all elements of the restorative treatment system were used (DCO, extrafocal osteosynthesis (including hinged), ultrasonic cavitation, NPWT, biochemical indicators of blood, conversion technology with usage of regenerative technologies, rehabilitation program) and telemedical control with applications (ROM+weight bearing). The control group (62 patients) - patients who received almost the same treatment, but only autoplasty with cancellous bone was included for bone plastics an telemedical counseling were not used. RESULTS Results: 1 year after the final method of fixation, it was established that the relative indicators were also lower in the patients of the main group, and a statistically significant difference was found in the indicator of the frequency of contracture formation, which may indicate the timely establishment of low dynamics in increasing the amplitude of movements and appropriate response (redress, arthrolysis, tenolysis). CONCLUSION Conclusions: Implementation of telemedicine and combined plastic surgery of bone defects in the restorative treatment system reduce the frequency of major complications that affect the objective result, affect better physical and mental health indicators during the observation period of 12 months.
