title: [Use of a distraction apparatus in the treatment of flexion contractures in the interphalangeal joints].
abstract: The use of a Volkov-Oganesjan distraction reposition apparatus in the treatment of flexion contractures of interphalangeal joints gives very satisfactory results. As compared with formerly used methods of conservative treatment, the apparatus makes reposition of the contractures possible, by its design it protects articular cartilages against damage by pressure and makes continuous rehabilitation of the joint possible throughout the period when the apparatus is used.
