[Rehabilitative treatment in old and inveterate fracture-dislocations of the bones of the feet].

The authors present the dynamics of the clinico-roentgenologic and biomechanical results of the treatment of 57 patients with late and inveterate dislocation fractures of the bones of the foot using the method of distraction. The analysis of the economic damage has demonstrated that a continuous disturbance in the working ability of the patients with this pathology causes an economic damage to the state averaging 7043.3 +/- 259.2 rubles. The favourable anatomic and functional results obtained in the absolute majority of the patients testify to the effectiveness of the method of distraction treatment.
