2. Management of heterogenic gonarthrosis (O. Chegurov, 2000-2005);
3. Combined treatment of patients with posttraumatic contractures and arthroses of the elbow using the Ilizarov fixator (Yu. P. Soldatov, 1996, 2005);
4. Pediatric treatment of congenital subluxation and dislocation of the femur (M. P. Teplenky, 1999, 2005); Treatment of congenital dislocation of the femur in adults (M.P. Teplenky, 2005);
5. Surgical treatment of hip osteochondropathy in children and adolescences using the method of transosseous osteosynthsis (V. I. Tropin, 1999-2006);
6. Complex treatment of destructive hip diseases in children and adolescences using the method of transosseous osteosynthesis (V.I. Tropin, 2000-2005);
7. Treatment of dysplastic joint dysplasia during the first year of life (N.G. Chirkova, 2004-2007);
8. Treatment of gonarthrosis with concomitant arterial hypertension (M. Y. Biryukova, 2004-2006);

Over the period of 2000 to 2006, the researchers of the laboratory obtained 32 patents and utility model certificates of RF, published 176 scientific papers, made 47 presentations at orthopaedic meetings in Russia and abroad. The department of postgraduate education makes use of research output of the lab for specialist training.
