Purpose. Determination of the effectiveness of diagnostic radiology methods (orthopantomography, X-rays of the skull, multislice computed tomography, cone beam computed tomography, radionuclide diagnostics) in a comprehensive assessment of osteonecrosis patients on the pre- and postoperative stages of treatment.

Materials and methods. The study included 85 patients. Among the patients, the number of women was 7 people (8%), men – 78 people (92%). Orthopantomography and skull radiography, multislice computed tomography (MSCT) were performed in all patients in the pre- and postoperative periods (n=85; 100%). Thirty patients (35%) underwent cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Nineteen patients (22%) underwent radionuclide diagnostics.

Results. The application of full spectrum of radiological high-tech methods (MSCT, CBCT, radionuclide diagnostics) in patients at all stages of treatment allowed full and timely investigation in establishing the prevalence of pathological process, helped planning a strategy for further surgical treatment in these patients, to determine the nature of the subsequent reconstructive surgery and rehabilitation of patients.

Conclusion. Complex radiological diagnosis of osteonecrosis in desomorphine dependence patients using modern and highly informative radiology methods is an obligatory step in the management of patients in this category both in pre- and postoperative stages of treatment..
