Description
Summary:	There is described the method of operative treatment of gonarthrosis, ensuring prolonged trophic influence on the articulation by means of slow distraction of osseous transplants from the periarticular knee fragments with its simultaneous decompression at the Ilizarov's apparatus. Prolonged (3 and more months) process of osseous reparation in the immediate proximity of knee joint with simultaneous unloading of articulation cartilage creates better conditions for involutional development of arthrosis with significant decrease of pain syndrome for 20 months, that has been noted with all patients.
