ABSTRACT
Fractures of the shin are often accompanied by injuries of muscular and cutaneous branches of the tibial and fibular nerves. In patients with a similar trauma there appears a polyvalent complex of pathological reactions and functional disorders. An experience with treatment of patients with the above pathology allows a conclusion to be made that treatment of neurites should be started from the very first days of admittance of the patients to the hospital.

A retrospective analysis of results of treatment of 104 patients with fractures of long tubular bones associated with injuries of peripheral nerves has shown complex therapy to be necessary. Main components of this treatment were biogenic stimulators, vitamin B12, spasmolytic and dehydration drugs in combination with electrophoresis with potassium iodide and thermal procedures. Rapid disturbance of conductivity of nerve trunks after trauma should be followed by revision of the given segment of the extremity in order to remove hematoma and make reposition of displaced fragments of the bone, which can provide recovery of the disturbed function of the nerve.

The siloxan film with programmed physiochemical characteristics possessing antimicrobial properties is proposed for the prevention of cicatrization in the knee joint area. Using this film as a pad after mobilizing operations on the knee joint has shown its high efficiency and considerably improved results of treatment.

Antirotaviral antibodies have been detected by the diffuse precipitation test in 16% of 355 patients with acute intestinal infections aged 1 month to 14 years; specific coproantibodies have been detected in 1.4% of 138 patients. The authors emphasize the specificity and simplicity, though a lower sensitivity of the diffuse precipitation vs. the neutralization test.
