title: [Disability due to traumas and diseases of a knee joint].
abstract: The invalidism structure was analyzed for patients, suffering consequences of traumas and diseases of a knee joint (KJ). The primary invalidism level because of traumas and diseases of a KJ have constituted in 2013 yr 12.4%. The cause of invalidism in men is predominantly a one-side gonarthrosis, and in women--a bilateral one--due to concurrent aggravating causes (dishormonal changes, excessive body mass). The invalidism indices enhancement is caused by absence of a dispensary follow-up, insufficient treatment on various stages of the disease course, severity and irreversibility of pathological process in a KJ, socio-economic factors, low rehabilitational potential, prognosticated impossibility to conduct a professional-labour rehabilitation in a prepensionable and pensionable age.
