title: [Gradual tensometric load in rehabilitation of patients with diaphysial fractures of shin bones].
abstract: The regime of gradual early tensometric load (GETL) was used in rehabilitation of patients with diaphysial fractures of crural bones (DFCB). The results of such rehabilitation were compared to those of rehabilitation without GETL. A total of 198 patients were studied. The GETL technique uses ground-type scales and step-by-step load intensification. Principles of pre- and postoperative rehabilitation are provided. The results of the study show that GETL allows control and correction of the fracture consolidation, improves microcirculation, prevents local osteoporosis and contractures of near-by joints, shortens duration of disability.
