[Neurodystrophic syndrome in patients with fractures of the distal epimetaphysis of the radius].

The authors analyse the development of the neurodystrophic syndrome (NDS) after fracture of the distal epimetaphysis of the radius in 67 patients. Rapidly and slowly progressive forms of NDS development were distinguished. Thermographic examination of 20 patients gives evidence of disturbed tonus of the microcirculatory channel in NDS. Laser therapy, magnetic field, and hypothermia were used in the treatment of patients with NDS. The developed system of NDS prognostication in fractures of the distal radial epimetaphysis and preventive treatment of risk group patients allowed the frequency of this complication to be reduced.
