[The use of vibrotherapy to prevent suppurative-inflammatory complications in mandibular fractures].

Patients with uni- and bilateral traumatic fractures of the mandible at risk for pyoinflammatory complications were subjected to vibration massage at frequencies identical to those of cardiovascular system. Rheographic evaluation of the blood flow showed vibration-related normalization of the regional circulation at the lesion which went faster and reached the values on the healthy side on day 14. In controls similar improvement took place only in 58% of cases. The results suggest that vibration massage at cardiovascular frequencies can effectively prevent pyoinflammatory complications in the mandible fractures.
