The treatment of the Кoenig's disease (review of literature)

Abstract

Summary Koenig disease is rarely restored by the own resour­ces and is manifested by pain, loss of function and the possible development of osteoarthritis. Today, there is a wide range of therapeutic measures in this pathology, ranging from conservative and ending with a large arsenal of surgical interventions, including the use of growth factors and genetic engineering. The aim of the work is to summarize the existing methods of treatment of Koenig's disease and evaluate the results of treatment with modern techniques. Materials and methods: the paper analyzes 29 sources of literature, including 2 Russians and 27 foreign. Literature data are systematized and analyzed. Results: after analyzing the literature, we came to the conclusion that today there is no “gold standard” in the treatment of Koenig's disease. Any method of treatment has the right to exist, and the choice of the necessary technology should be carried out depending on the individual characteristics of the patient.
