[Rehabilitation problems of patients who have undergone surgery for malignant tumors of the locomotor system].

The paper is concerned with definite trends in rehabilitation following such kind of operations as amputation of the lower extremities, exarticulation in the coxa, interiliac-abdominal exarticulation and interscapular-thoracic amputation for malignant tumors. The method of prosthetic replacement on the operating table after amputation of the lower extremities and early application of medico-physical therapy after exarticulation and interiliac-abdominal exarticulation shortens the time of stump formation, thus enabling patients to resume their socio-labour activities in early terms after the operation.
