One of the ways to close soft tissue defects, especially in case of bone tissue loss, after open fractures of the extremities is acute shortening and creation of artificial angular deformity of the segment.</p> <p><bold>The aim of the study </bold>— to demonstrate the possibilities of acute shortening and angulation of the segment as a technique to replace soft tissue and bone defects in treatment of a patient with a gunshot wound to the lower leg.</p> <p><bold>Case description. </bold>A 30-year-old wounded man was admitted to the clinic with an extensive defect in soft tissues and bones of the lower leg in the middle third. To reduce the wound size, acute shortening and angulation of the lower leg was performed. The intentional angular deformation was 24º, shortening — up to 8 cm. The residual soft tissue wound defect was closed with local tissues and split skin autograft. The tibia was fixed by the Ilizarov hinge-distraction apparatus with following gradual correction of the angular deformity. After that, one performed osteotomy of the tibia in order to eliminate shortening with the Ilizarov method (the distraction rate of 1 mm per day). After restoring the length of the lower leg, in order to replace the defect along the anterior surface of the tibia, a marginal “flake” was formed from a displaced fragment. At a follow-up examination, in 18 months after the injury the patient walks with full weight bearing on the injured limb without any additional means of support, continues to perform military service duties in accordance with his position.</p> <p><bold>Conclusions. </bold>The presented clinical case demonstrates that acute shortening of a limb segment with creation of artificial angular deformity is an effective method for temporary closure of a gunshot defect of soft tissues. The technique allowed closing critical soft tissue defect of the lower leg and restoring the anatomy (length) of the segment. Consequently, one was able to achieve satisfactory treatment results and restore the functions of an injured limb. Besides, acute temporary shortening technique eliminated the need to perform technically sophisticated and lengthy microsurgical reconstructions, which are associated with a flap replacement for closure of soft tissue defects in a shotgun fracture area.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Актуальность. </bold>Проблема лечения раненых с дефектом мягких тканей и костей конечностей продолжает сохранять свою актуальность. Одним из способов закрытия мягкотканных дефектов, особенно при потере костной ткани, у пациентов с открытыми переломами костей конечностей является острое укорочение и создание искусственной угловой деформации сегмента.</p> <p><bold>Цель </bold>— на клиническом примере показать возможности применения техники острого укорочения и ангуляции сегмента для замещения дефектов мягких тканей и кости при лечении пациента с огнестрельным ранением голени.</p> <p><bold>Описание клинического случая. </bold>Раненый 30 лет поступил в клинику с обширным дефектом мягких тканей и костей голени в средней трети. С целью уменьшения размеров раны выполнены острое укорочение и ангуляция голени. Преднамеренная угловая деформация голени составила 24º, укорочение — до 8 см. После закрытия остаточного раневого дефекта мягких тканей местными тканями и расщепленным кожным аутотрансплантатом выполнена фиксация большеберцовой кости шарнирно-дистракционным аппаратом Илизарова с последующей постепенной коррекцией угловой деформации, на следующем этапе — остеотомия большеберцовой кости с целью устранения укорочения методом Илизарова (темп дистракции 1 мм в сутки). После восстановления длины голени с целью замещения дефекта по передней поверхности большеберцовой кости выполнено формирование краевого «отщепа» от перемещенного фрагмента. При контрольном осмотре через 18 мес. после ранения пациент ходит с полной нагрузкой на травмированную конечность без дополнительных средств опоры, продолжает исполнять обязанности военной службы в соответствии с занимаемой должностью.</p> <p><bold>Заключение. </bold>Острое укорочение сегмента конечности с формированием искусственной угловой деформации является эффективной методикой для временного закрытия огнестрельного дефекта мягких тканей, позволяющей закрыть критический мягкотканный дефект голени, восстановить анатомию (длину) сегмента и, как следствие, добиться удовлетворительных результатов лечения и восстановления функций поврежденной конечности. Кроме того, техника острого временного укорочения исключает потребность в технически сложных и длительных микрохирургических реконструкциях, связанных с перемещением лоскута для закрытия дефектов мягких тканей в области огнестрельного перелома.</p></trans-abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="zh"><p/></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>gunshot fractures</kwd><kwd>soft tissues defects</kwd><kwd>bone defects</kwd><kwd>acute shortening</kwd><kwd>angulation</kwd><kwd>external fixation</kwd><kwd>limb salvage surgery</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>огнестрельные переломы</kwd><kwd>дефекты мягких тканей</kwd><kwd>дефекты кости</kwd><kwd>острое укорочение</kwd><kwd>ангуляция</kwd><kwd>внешний остеосинтез</kwd><kwd>органосохраняющие операции</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Хоминец В.В., Шаповалов В.М., Михайлов С.В., Брижань Л.К.
