Chapter 1. Infectious and parasitic diseases

Item 1 of the Requirements by columns. Intestinal infections, bacterial zoonoses, other bacterial diseases, viral diseases with rash, viral diseases transmitted by arthropods (except for infections of the central nervous system), other viral diseases, rickettsioses, and other infectious diseases.

With acute diseases, the category of military personnel’s fitness for military service is determined at the end of treatment, depending on the degree of dysfunction of organs and systems.

Subitem 1) of item 1 of the Requirements by columns includes chronic recurrent forms of diseases that are refractory or recalcitrant.

Those examined under column I who had acute brucellosis or toxoplasmosis less than twelve months ago, according to subitem 2) of item 1 of the Requirements by columns are recognized as temporarily unfit for military service in order to assess the constancy of remission; in case of relapse, the opinion is made based on subitem 1) of this item.

After a relapse or acute brucellosis or toxoplasmosis, military conscripts are recognized as unfit for military service.

When primary latent brucellosis is diagnosed (Wright-positive case, in the absence of clinical manifestations), conscripts are given a six-month deferral from conscription, those entering military service under a contract and MEI are considered unfit.

In case of chronic brucellosis or toxoplasmosis, the examination is carried out according to subitem 1) of item 1 of the Requirements by columns.

Servicemen with chronic diarrhea, as well as carriers of bacteria of typhoid fever, paratyphoid fever and salmonellosis, are subject to hospital treatment. If they are bacteria carriers for three or more months, they are examined according to subitem 1) of this item, and those examined according to column I under subitem 2) of item 1 of the Requirements by columns are recognized as temporarily unfit for military service for six months for the purposes of treatment; in case of being carriers of bacteria for more than six months, which is confirmed by laboratory research, they are examined according to subitem 1) of item 1 of the Requirements by columns.

In case of echinococcosis, alveococcosis of internal organs, acute, subacute and chronic forms of sepsis with septicopyemic metastases confirmed with methods of laboratory and instrumental research, the category of fitness for military service of those examined according to columns I - II is determined according to subitem 1) of this item, regardless of the localization of the primary focus and the results of treatment.

The category of fitness for military service of those examined according to column III with complicated or recurrent echinococcosis, alveococcosis of internal organs, acute, subacute and chronic forms of sepsis with septicopyemic metastases confirmed with methods of laboratory and instrumental research is determined according to subitem 1) of this item.

Military conscripts who had severe viral hepatitis B, C, D with a protracted course of treatment, extrahepatic manifestations (autoimmune thyroiditis, Sjogren’s syndrome, lymphocytic sialadenitis), mixed hepatitis are recognized as unfit for military service.

Military conscripts who had mild and moderate viral hepatitis are recognized as unfit for work with harmful factors, for military service in AAF, SFU and diving.

Military personnel examined under column IV who had uncomplicated mild or moderate viral hepatitis, typhoid fever, paratyphoid fever are recognized as temporarily unfit for parachute jumping, diving and work with harmful factors and shall be re-examined six months later. After this period, these persons are allowed to parachute jumping, diving and to work with harmful factors provided that they have no dysfunctions of liver and gastrointestinal tract.

Military personnel examined under column IV who had severe and (or) protracted viral hepatitis, typhoid fever, paratyphoid fever are recognized as temporarily unfit for parachute jumping, diving and work with harmful factors and shall be re-examined twelve months later.

In this case, servicemen are allowed to dive at depths of up to 60 meters; diving at a depth over 60 meters is allowed no earlier than a year after the examination.

Identification of the surface antigen of hepatitis B virus and antibodies to the hepatitis C virus is the basis for a detailed examination in order to exclude latent chronic viral hepatitis.

After confirmation of chronic viral hepatitis, citizens (military personnel) are examined according to item 58 of the Requirements by columns, taking into account the degree of activity and the presence of liver dysfunctions.

Asymptomatic (inactive) carriage of markers of viral hepatitis B or C confirmed by the results of additional examination methods (including ultrasound, EIA, PCR) is not a basis for applying the items of the Requirements by columns.

Citizens entering MEI who had mild viral hepatitis, typhoid fever, paratyphoid fever and have no dysfunctions of liver and gastrointestinal tract are recognized as fit for entering MEI no earlier than six months after the end of treatment.

Military personnel who had severe typhoid, paratyphoid fever, hemorrhagic fevers, rickettsial infections, zoonotic infections, and also in case of a complicated disease (with intestinal perforation, intestinal bleeding, pneumonia with parapneumonic pleurisy), regardless of the severity of the disease, with persistent asthenia after treatment, are subject to examination under subitem 1) of item 1 of the Requirements by columns.

Servicemen doing military service under a contract, officers doing military service by conscription, after surgical treatment, or complications of the diseases specified in this item, are examined after completion of treatment and rehabilitation according to the relevant items of the Requirements by columns, taking into account dysfunctions of the organ and system.

With regard to military personnel who had a mild or moderate uncomplicated illness, an opinion on the need for granting a sick leave is not made. Rehabilitation treatment in this category is completed in military medical (medical) units.

After hospital treatment of mild viral hepatitis, typhoid and paratyphoid fever, MEI cadets and students are discharged with recommendations for their release from certain types of work, daily shifts, and physical training.

Citizens who had acute viral hepatitis, typhoid fever and paratyphoid fever, when being called up for military service or entering military service under a contract, are recognized as temporarily unfit for military service for six months after the end of hospital treatment.

With concomitant strabismus less than 15 degrees, the diagnosis is confirmed by examining binocular vision. The presence of binocular vision is the basis for excluding concomitant strabismus.

In case of alternating strabismus with good vision in both eyes, it is necessary to refrain from surgical treatment due to the possibility of diplopia.

In case of binocular vision impairments (including concomitant strabismus, paralytic strabismus without diplopia), the category of fitness for military service and fitness for military service according to a military specialty are determined depending on the functions of the eye (visual acuity, visual field).

Item 34 of the Requirements by columns. Refraction and accommodation disorders.

The type and degree of refractive error are determined using skiascopy or refractometry.

If individual assessment of fitness for military service is required in case of refractive errors indicated in this item, critical significance is attached to visual acuity.

In case of persistent spasm, paresis or paralysis of accommodation, an examination is carried out with the participation of a neurologist, a therapist and, if necessary, doctors of other specialties. If persistent spasm, paresis or paralysis of accommodation is caused by diseases of the nervous system, internal organs, a medical examination is carried out for the underlying disease.

Accommodation spasm is a functional disorder in which the refraction identified during cycloplegia is weaker than the strength of the optimal negative corrective lens prior to cycloplegia.

In case of spasm, paresis of accommodation in one or both eyes after unsuccessful inpatient treatment, the category of fitness for military service is determined according to items 34 or 35 of the Requirements by columns, depending on the visual acuity with correction and the degree of ametropia returning to the previous level after repeated cycloplegia.

Visual acuity of citizens (military personnel) wearing contact lenses is tested with ordinary glasses.

Visual acuity not preventing persons examined according to columns I, II from doing military service, for distance with correction, is determined not less than 0.5 in one eye and 0.1 in the other eye or not less than 0.4 in each eye. In doubtful cases, visual acuity is determined using control research methods.

When correcting with ordinary spherical glasses, as well as in case of uncorrected anisometropia of persons being examined under all columns of the Requirements, it is necessary to take into account visual acuity with practically bearable binocular correction, i.e. with a difference in the strength of glasses for both eyes of no more than 2.0 diopters. Correction of astigmatism of any kind is carried out with cylindrical or combined glasses completely along all meridians.

As to citizens entering MEI, visual acuity with correction not exceeding the refractive limit specified in Appendix 7 to the Requirements is determined only in the presence of myopia, simple or complex myopic astigmatism, and for other reasons of decreased visual acuity (including farsightedness, farsighted or mixed astigmatism) - without correction.

Those examined under column IV are recognized as unfit for military service with uncorrected visual acuity for distance below 0.5 in one eye and below 0.4 in the other eye.

When diagnosing forms, degrees of decrease in color perception, it is necessary to follow guidelines for threshold tables for the study of color vision approved for use in medical practice.

With exostosis, acquired stenosis of the ear canal with hearing impairment, the examination is carried out according to item 40 of the Requirements by columns depending on their degree of decrease.

Item 38 of the Requirements by columns. Diseases of the middle ear and mastoid. The diagnosis of chronic suppurative otitis media (attico-antral, tubotympanic otitis media) is confirmed by otoscopic data (purulent discharge, perforation of the tympanic membranes, granulation, polyps, cholesteotomic masses), X-ray, CT scanning of the temporal bones, testing of hearing function and the barofunction of the ear, and also frequent exacerbations (at least twice a year) requiring treatment.

All persons being examined with chronic diseases of the middle ear are offered treatment.

Subitem 1) of item38 of the Requirements by columns includes:

bilateral or unilateral chronic suppurative otitis media with persistent obstruction of nasal breathing confirmed by rhinomanometry;

conditions after surgical treatment of chronic diseases of the middle ear with incomplete epidermization of the postoperative cavity in the presence of pus, granulations, cholesteatomic masses in it for 30 days or more after the operation.

Subitem 2) of item 38 of the Requirements by columns includes:

bilateral persistent dry perforations of the tympanic membrane, including post-traumatic conditions or conditions after radical surgery on both ears with complete epidermization of postoperative cavities.

A persistent dry perforation of the tympanic membrane shall be understood as the presence of perforation of the tympanic membrane in the absence of inflammation of the middle ear for twelve months or more.

The presence of chronic suppurative otitis media is confirmed by otoscopic data (perforation of the tympanic membrane, discharge from the tympanic cavity), culture of discharge from the tympanic cavity on the microflora, X-ray of the temporal bones, CT.

Subitem 3) of item 38 of the Requirements by columns includes unilateral persistent dry perforations of the tympanic membrane, including post-traumatic ones, adhesive otitis media, tympanosclerosis, a condition after a radical operation on one ear performed twelve or more months ago with complete epidermization of the postoperative cavity.

As to combat swimmers and diving personnel, their barofunction is examined in a pressure chamber (recompression chamber). Citizens (military personnel) selected for training and studying to be combat swimmers, as well as diving specialties, are recognized as fit if they have good patency of the Eustachian tube (barofunction of I and II degrees); and with persistent impairment of barofunction of III degree, they are recognized as unfit.

Persistent impairment of the barofunction of the ear is determined by repeated studies.

In case of persistent impairment of the barofunction of III degree, the fitness of military personnel serving as military divers and combat swimmers is determined individually, and in case of impairment of the barofunction of IV degree, they are recognized as unfit.

After radical or reconstructive surgery on the middle ear with good results, the servicemen are granted exemption, and citizens registering with recruiting stations, being conscripted for military service and joining military service under a contract according to item 41 of the Requirements by columns are recognized as temporarily unfit for military service for six months if less than three months have passed since their discharge from the hospital. With complete epidermization of the postoperative cavity, the examination is carried out under subitem 3) of this item.

Item 39 of the Requirements by columns. In case of vestibular disorders, examination data are assessed with the involvement of a neuropathologist.

Subitem 1) of item 39 of the Requirements by columns includes Meniere’s disease, pronounced forms of vestibular disorders, the attacks of which were observed during inpatient examination and confirmed by medical documents.

Subitem 2) of item 39 of the Requirements by columns includes forms of vestibular disorders, the attacks of which are short-term with moderate vestibular-vegetative reactions.

Subitem 3) of item 39 of the Requirements by columns includes oversensitivity to motion sickness in the absence of symptoms of vestibular disorders and diseases of other organs.

When deciding on fitness for military service in the NAVY, it is necessary to take into account the habit of ship’s motion.

In case of loss of the ability to perform military duties in accordance with the military specialty due to motion sickness and absence of positive results (from special training, participation in campaigns) for a period of at least one year, an opinion is made on the unfitness for military service in the NAVY.

MPB makes an opinion on the unfitness for military service in the NAVY based on the results of the study of vestibular-vegetative sensitivity by the otolith response test in three dimensions, by the method of summation (cumulation) of irritation on a swivel chair or on Khilov’s swing, a test with the continuous cumulation of Coriolis accelerations.

The results of vestibulometry are assessed together with a neurologist. When indicating the temporary nature of vestibular disorders, comprehensive examination and treatment are carried out.

When selecting for the NAVY, the criterion of resistance to motion sickness is the results of a test of the otolith response or a sample of continuous cumulation of Coriolis accelerations. Citizens (military personnel) who during these tests give a vestibular reaction of III degree are not fit for military service in the NAVY.

Results of the study of the vestibular function are assessed with account of the protective movements of III degree. The absence of intense vegetative responses is not a basis for making an opinion on unfitness for military service in the NAVY, since this response to irritation of the vestibular apparatus is not persistent and, as a rule, disappears in the course of due training.

During the medical examination of citizens (military personnel) involved in parachute training, a test is carried out with the influence of Coriolis accelerations for three minutes by the CCCA method or two minutes by the DCCA method. When weakly expressed vegetative reactions are obtained, it is advisable to repeat the test after one or two days. If the reduced resistance of the vestibular apparatus to cumulative effects is re-identified, they are recognized as unfit. The study of the vestibular apparatus for the cumulative effect of adequate stimuli shall be carried out in the first half of the day no earlier than two hours after a meal. The persons being examined who developed pronounced autonomic reactions during the test (spontaneous nystagmus, asymmetry of vestibulo-ocular and optokinetic reflexes and reactions of their suppression, severe pallor, nausea, vomiting) are considered unstable to vestibular stimuli and recognized as unfit.

Item 40 of the Requirements by columns. Deafness, deaf mutism, hearing loss.

The perception of whispered speech, which does not prevent from doing military service by persons examined under columns I, II, is determined at a distance of at least 2 meters for one ear and at a distance of at least 4 meters for the other ear or at a distance of at least 3 meters for both ears.

Deafness in both ears or deaf mutism is additionally confirmed by medical facilities, organizations or educational institutions for the deaf and dumb. Deafness shall be considered as the lack of perception of the cry at the auricle.

Citizens (military personnel) who had surgery to implant a cochlear implant in both ears are examined under subitem 1), and in one ear - under subitem 2) of this item.

When determining the degree of hearing loss, special research methods are used such as those of whispered and colloquial speech, tuning forks, objective audiometry (registration of auditory evoked potentials, otoacoustic emission) with the obligatory measuring of the barofunction of the ears.

With hearing loss, which changes the category of fitness for military service, these tests are performed repeatedly (at least three times during the examination period). In case of suspicion of deafness in one or both ears, methods of objective determination of deafness are additionally used: the use of a Barani noisemaker, the tests of Govseev, Popov, Stenger, Khilov. With a significant (more than three meters) inter-aural difference in hearing, an X-ray of the temporal bones according to Stenvers or a computed tomography of the temporal bones is performed.

An opinion on the category of fitness for military service under this item is made after examination by an audiologist.

In an individual assessment of the category of fitness for military service, the specific conditions of military service of military personnel, the characteristics of the command (leadership) and the doctor of the military unit (institution), the data of a functional study of hearing by checking audibility through headphones when using electro-acoustic communications (telephone, radio) are taken into account.

With persistent hearing loss, if the perception of whispered speech is less than 6 meters in one ear, those entering MEI (schools), as well as their students, are recognized as unfit.

Item 41 of the Requirements by columns. After a radical operation on one middle ear with good results, those examined under columns I, II are recognized as temporarily unfit for military service for a period of twelve months after the operation. After this period, with complete epidermization of the postoperative cavity, an opinion is made according to subitem 3) of item38 of the Requirements by columns.

The asymptomatic course of intervertebral osteochondrosis (Schmorl’s nodes), as well as non-fixed grade I scoliosis without impaired respiratory function is not a basis for applying this item of the Requirements by columns, does not prevent from military service, entering MEI.

Spondylosis is anatomically manifested by coracoid growths that cover the entire circumference of the endplates and deformation of the vertebral bodies.

Determination of the degree of deforming spondylosis by radiographs:

I degree - deforming changes along the edges of the vertebral bodies (near the limbus);

II degree - marginal growths growing in the direction from the vertebra to the vertebra and not reaching the degree of fusion;

III degree - fusion of osteophytes of two adjacent vertebrae in the form of a bracket.

Osteochondrosis is characterized by primary non-inflammatory degenerative lesion of the cartilage up to its necrosis, followed by the involvement of the endplates of the adjacent vertebrae (sclerosis) and the formation of marginal osteophytes.

Signs of the clinical manifestation of chondrosis is the impairment of the static function of the affected region of spine - straightening of the cervical (lumbar) lordosis or the formation of kyphosis, a combination of local lordosis and kyphosis instead of uniform lordosis.

X-ray symptoms of intervertebral chondrosis are as follows:

deformity of the spine (impairment of static function), decrease in the height of the intervertebral disc;

accumulation of lime salts in the anterior portion of the annulus fibrosus or in the nucleus pulposus;

displacements of the vertebral bodies (spondylolisthesis) anterior, posterior, lateral, determined by standard radiography;

pathology of mobility in the segment (impaired dynamic function);

preservation of clear contours of all surfaces of the vertebral bodies, the absence of destructive changes in them.

In case of intervertebral osteochondrosis, marginal bone growths that form in the plane of the disc and continue the platforms of the vertebral bodies, as well as subchondral osteosclerosis, which is identified on radiographs with a clear image of the structure, are added to the listed signs.

Pain syndrome during exercise must be confirmed by repeated requests for medical help, which are reflected in the medical documents of the examined person.

Only the combination of the listed clinical and radiological signs of limited deforming spondylosis and intervertebral osteochondrosis gives grounds for applying subitem 3 of item 66.

Various forms of spinal instability are identified during functional radiography (forward and backward bending). On functional radiographs, a sign of hypermobility is a significant increase (with extension) or decrease (with flexion) of the angle between adjacent endplates in the segment under study. In total, the difference in the angles during flexion and extension compared to the neutral position with hypermobility exceeds 10 degrees.

Instability in the investigated vertebral segment is ascertained when the bodies of adjacent vertebrae are displaced relative to each other by 3 mm or more in one direction from the neutral position.

The movements of the spine in the sagittal plane are very variable:

Normally, the distance between the spinous process of the VII cervical vertebra and the tubercle of the occipital bone increases by 3-4 cm when the head is tilted, and when the head is thrown back (extension) decreases by 8-10 cm.

The distance between the spinous process of the VII cervical and I sacral vertebrae increases by 5-7 cm when bending over in comparison with the usual posture and decreases by 5-6 cm when bending back. Lateral movements (tilting) in the lumbar and thoracic regions are allowed within 25-30 degrees.

Osteochondrosis and spondylosis can be:

isolated - when one intervertebral disc or two adjacent vertebrae are affected;

limited - when two discs or three vertebrae are affected;

common - when more than two discs or more than three vertebrae are affected.

Spondylolysis is a defect in the inter-articular part of the vertebral arch. Spondylolysis is more often the result of a vicious development - dysplasia or fatigue fracture due to mechanical overload. Spondylolysis occurs without spondylolisthesis and is accompanied by severe instability of the affected segment and, accordingly, pain.

Spondylolisthesis - displacement of the body of the overlying vertebra relative to the underlying in the horizontal plane. Normally, due to the elasticity of the disc and the ligamentous apparatus, the displacement of the vertebrae in the horizontal plane with maximum flexion or extension, the deviation is within 3 mm.

The degree of displacement is determined by the lateral X-ray image: the cranial endplate of the underlying vertebra is conventionally divided into four parts, and a perpendicular descends from the posteroinferior edge of the upper vertebra to the endplate of the lower vertebra.

The degree of spondylolisthesis is determined by the area onto which the perpendicular is projected:

I degree - displacement over 3 mm up to 1/4 of the vertebral body;

II degree - displacement from 1/4 to 1/2 of the vertebral body;

III degree - displacement from 1/2 to 3/4 of the vertebral body;

IV degree - displacement over 3/4 to the width of the vertebral body;

V degree (spondyloptosis) - displacement of the upper vertebra anteriorly by the full anteroposterior body size in combination with additional caudal displacement.

Spinal deformity in scoliosis is assessed by the anteroposterior radiograph of the spine in a standing position with the capture of the iliac wings (level I of the sacral vertebra).

To determine the angular value of scoliotic arches, the Cobb technique is used:

the cranial and caudal vertebral segments of the deformity arch are determined;

straight lines are drawn in the image parallel to the endplates of the bodies of the cranial and caudal vertebrae, the angle of intersection of which is the size of the deformity arch. When determining the deformation of the vertebral bodies, the endplate with the greatest slope is taken for ruling. Taking into account the severity of deformation, the angle of intersection of the selected lines is calculated using a geometric technique by drawing opposite perpendiculars.

If the angle of scoliosis in the supine and standing position does not change, the scoliosis is considered fixed or stable. If, when unloading the spine, i.e. in the supine position, it decreases - the scoliosis is not fixed (unstable).

Severity of scoliosis of the spine:

I grade - an arc of deformation from 5 to 10 degrees;

II grade - arc of deformation from 11 to 25 degrees;

III grade - arc of deformation from 26 to 40 degrees;

IV grade - arc of deformation from 41 degrees or more.

Spinal deformity in pathological thoracic kyphosis (juvenile osteochondrosis, Scheuermann’s disease) is measured by the lateral radiograph of the spine in a standing position with the capture of the iliac wings (level I of the sacral vertebra).

To determine the angular value of the kyphosis arc, the Cobb method is used:

the cranial and caudal vertebral segments of the thoracic kyphosis (III and XII thoracic vertebrae) are determined;

straight lines are drawn in the image parallel to the endplates of the bodies of the cranial and caudal vertebrae, the angle of intersection of which is the size of the deformity arch. Taking into account the severity of deformation, the angle of intersection of the selected lines is calculated using a geometric method by drawing opposite perpendiculars.

The severity of the kyphotic deformity of the spine:

I type - angle of kyphosis from 31 to 40 degrees;

II type - angle of kyphosis from 41 to 50 degrees;

III type - angle of kyphosis from 51 to 70 degrees;

IV type - angle of kyphosis over 70 degrees.

Item 68 of the Requirements by columns. The item includes fixed foot deformities, including congenital ones. A foot with elevated longitudinal arches, when properly positioned on a surface under a supporting load, is often a normal option. Pathologically hollow is a foot that has a deformation in the form of supination of the posterior and pronation of the anterior section in the presence of high inner and outer arches (the so-called sharply twisted foot), the forefoot section is spread out, wide and somewhat adducted, there are corns under the heads of the middle metatarsal bones and clawed or hammer-like deformity of the fingers. The greatest functional impairments occur with accompanying eversion-inversion components of the deformity in the form of external or internal rotation of the entire foot or its elements.

Subitem 1) of item 68 of the Requirements by columns includes pathological equine, calcaneal, varus, hollow, flat-valgus, equino-varus feet and others acquired as a result of injuries or diseases, irreversible pronounced curvatures of the feet, in which it is impossible to use shoes of the approved military standard.

Subitem 2) of item 68 of the Requirements by columns includes:

absence of all toes or part of the foot at any level;

persistent combined contracture of all fingers on both feet with their claw or hammer-like deformity;

post-traumatic deformity of the calcaneus with a decrease in the Bohler angle over minus 10 degrees, pain syndrome and arthrosis of the subtalar joint of stage II.

The absence of a toe is considered its absence at the level of the metatarsophalangeal joint, as well as complete reduction or immobility of the toe.

Subitem 3) of item 68 of the Requirements by columns includes:

moderate deformities of the foot with a minor pain syndrome and impairment of statics, in which the shoes of the established military model are adapted for wearing;

longitudinal or transverse flat feet of II degree with stage II arthrosis in the talo-scaphoid joint and joints of the midfoot;

arthrosis of the first metatarsal joint of stage III with limited movement within plantar flexion less than 10 degrees and dorsiflexion less than 20 degrees;

absence of the first toe or two toes on one foot, the second-fifth toes at the level of the middle phalanges on both feet;

post-traumatic deformity of the calcaneus with a decrease in the Bohler angle from 0 to minus 10 degrees and the presence of arthrosis of the subtalar joint.

Subitem 4) of item 68 of the Requirements by columns includes longitudinal or transverse flat feet of I or II degree with stage I arthrosis in the talo-scaphoid joint and joints of the midfoot in the absence of contracture of its toes and exostoses, without pain.

Longitudinal flat feet and hammer-shaped deformity of the calcaneus are measured by profile radiographs in the standing position under load. On radiographs, by constructing a triangle, the angle of the longitudinal arch and the height of the arch are determined. Normally, the angle of the arch is 125-130 degrees, the height of the arch is over 35 mm.

Degrees of longitudinal flat feet:

I degree: the angle of the longitudinal inner plantar arch is 131-140 degrees, the arch height is 35-25 mm;

II degree: the angle of the longitudinal inner arch is 141-155 degrees, the arch height is 24-17 mm;

III degree: the angle of the longitudinal inner arch is more than 155 degrees, the arch height is less than 17 mm.

When assessing the degree of flat feet, the height of the arch is of prime importance.

To determine the degree of post-traumatic deformity of the calcaneus, it is necessary to calculate the Bohler angle (the angle of the articular part of the calcaneus tubercle) formed by the intersection of two lines, one of which connects the highest point of the anterior angle of the subtalar joint and the apex of the posterior articular facet, and the other runs along the upper surface of the calcaneus tuber. Normally, this angle is 20-40 degrees, its decrease indicates post-traumatic flat feet. Most informative for assessing the condition of the subtalar joint is its computed tomography performed in the coronary plane perpendicular to the posterior articular facet of the calcaneus.

Transverse flatfoot is assessed from frontal and midfoot radiographs taken under load.

On radiographs, three straight lines are drawn, which correspond to the longitudinal axes of the I-II metatarsal bones and the main phalanx of the first toe.

Normally, the angle of deflection of the I metatarsal bone formed by the axial lines of the diaphysis of the I and II metatarsal bones does not exceed 9 degrees, and the angle of deflection of the I toe, formed by the axial lines of the diaphysis of the I metatarsal bone and the main phalanx of the I toe, does not exceed 14 degrees.

The degrees of transverse flat feet:

I degree - the angle of deflection of the I metatarsal bone is 10-12 degrees, and the angle of deflection of the first toe is 15-20 degrees;

II degree - the angle of deflection of the first metatarsal bone is 13-15 degrees, and the angle of deflection of the first toe is 21-30 degrees;

III degree - the angle of deflection of the first metatarsal bone is 16-20 degrees, and the angle of deflection of the first toe is 31-40 degrees;

IV degree - the angle of deflection of the first metatarsal bone is more than 20 degrees, and the angle of deflection of the first toe is more than 40 degrees.

Stage I arthrosis of the joints of the foot is radiologically characterized by a narrowing of the joint space by less than 50 percent and marginal bone growths not exceeding 1 mm from the edge of the joint space. Stage II arthrosis is characterized by a narrowing of the joint space by more than 50 percent, marginal bone growths exceeding 1 mm from the edge of the joint space, deformity and subchondral osteosclerosis of the articular ends of the articulating bones.
