Physical factors in medical rehabilitation of children with damage to the capsulal-ligating apparatus of the knee joint

Abstract

Pathology of the knee joint in children is a pressing problem in pediatric traumatology, orthopedics and pediatrics. The frequency of injuries to the knee joint is determined by the complexity of its structure, biomechanical features with a high probability of overload. At the same time, intra-articular injuries in children and adolescents, accounting for up to 7% in the structure of inpatient pathology, are the cause of pronounced functional disorders of the lower limb and the risk of developing post-traumatic osteoarthritis.

Currently, physical factors are widely used at various stages of medical rehabilitation of children with damage to the capsular-ligamentous apparatus of the knee joint. The conducted studies have established the effectiveness of using local air cryotherapy in the early postoperative period, characterized by a pronounced anti-edematous, analgesic effect. Early regression of pain and elimination of microcirculatory disorders in the area of injury as a result of a course of pulsed low-frequency magnetic therapy at various stages of medical rehabilitation of children with damage to the capsular-ligamentous apparatus of the knee joint have been recorded. The beneficial effect of a pulsed low-frequency electrostatic field on indicators of orthopedic status, and thermography indicators in the area of injury in children with knee joint injuries has been established. Data were obtained on more pronounced regression of pain, earlier restoration of range of motion in the damaged joint and relief of signs of post-traumatic synovitis with the complex use of a pulsed low-frequency electrostatic field and robotic mechanotherapy in children with damage to the capsular ligamentous apparatus of the knee joint. The obtained clinical and functional results are of great importance for injuries of the knee joint with the risk of contractures in the postoperative period.
