[Effect of the level of a tibial fracture on the functional recovery of the leg in fixation of the fragments with the Ilizarov apparatus].

In patients with closed diaphyseal fractures of crus bones treated by the Ilizarov apparatus the rate of normalization of the supporting and supporting-dynamic function of the lower extremity was substantially higher when the fracture of the tibial bone was localized in the lower third of the diaphysis. The method of calculation of the exercise upon the injured extremity is described with special reference to the level of the fracture and the time of fixation with the help of the compression-distraction apparatus.
