title: [Modern approach to the rehabilitation of children with fractured long tubular bones].
abstract: An optimized therapeutic rehabilitation program involved 393 patients with fractured long bones (humeral, radial/ulnar, femoral, crural) admitted to the Orthopedic Department of the Stavropol Regional Children's Clinical Hospital and the Rehabilitation Centre for Handicapped Children and Adolescents. Rehabilitation was performed in three consecutive stages, viz. immobilization, functional recovery and training. The proposed approach ensured rather fast functional recovery of the affected extremity even in cases with compound fractures. The rehabilitation program included polyenzyme therapy with wobenzym during 3-4 weeks after injury or surgical repositioning of bone fragments. Pain and oedema syndromes resolved twice as fast as after traditional treatment. The use of this program permitted to avoid development of contracture and disturbances of locomotary activity; moreover, it improved the quality of life in children with fractures of long tubular bones.
