Clinical aspects and the course of treatment of open infected fractures in the knee joint region against a background of moderate and severe radiation sickness are discussed. The experiment involved 35 healthy dogs of both sexes. In all, three experiments were involved: on open infected fractures in the knee joint region in conjunction with radiation sickness; open infected fractures in the knee joint region without radiation sickness; radiation sickness without trauma. Infected open injury to the knee joint against a radiation sickness background is a severe affection. The use of delayed surgical and drug treatment (antibiotics, vitamins, antihistamine preparations) afforded survival of at least one-half of the animals. Oral use of phenoxymethyl-penicillin in large doses established in the blood and synovial fluid of the damaged knee joint a therapeutic concentration of antibiotic of long duration (not less than a day). In radiation damage to knee joint accompanied by fracture of the bone fragment, the best method of surgical treatment is osteosynthesis using metal parts. In open infection of a damaged knee joint against a radiation sickness background, even with proper treatment a tendency toward formation of deforming arthrosis was observed. (OTS)
