Abstract

The relevance and the urgent character of the problem of traumatic arthropathy of the knee joint in children is due to the high frequency of injuries of this localization, comprising from 5 to 25% of all injuries of the musculoskeletal system.

Nowadays, physical factors are commonly used at different stages of medical rehabilitation of children with traumatic injuries of the knee joint. At the same time, scientifically substantiated recommendations for medical rehabilitation of children with nonspecific posttraumatic knee pain syndrome are insufficient.

Studies conducted have ascertained the effectiveness of local air cryotherapy, which is characterized by an explicit anti-edema, analgesic effect. An early regression of pain has been registered, the elimination of microcirculatory disorders in the area of damage as a result of the course effects of pulsed low-frequency magnetic therapy at various stages of medical rehabilitation. The beneficial effect of a pulsed low-frequency electrostatic field on the indicators of orthopedic status, the state of microcirculation, thermography in the area of damage has been established in children with traumatic arthropathy of the knee joint.

The possibility of using polychromatic polarized light in traumatic arthropathy of the knee joint in children, characterized by pain reduction due to muscle relaxation, activation of microcirculation in the injury area, restoration of the volume of movements, has been proved.
