[Comprehensive rehabilitation of the subjects presenting with occupational muscular-skeletal abnormalities].

The methodological approach to the rehabilitative treatment of the subjects presenting with occupational muscular-skeletal abnormalities in the upper limb girdle associated with their occupational activities implies the combined application of a pulsed magnetic field, therapeutic peloids and ultrasound therapy to the neuromuscular apparatus and tendinous-capsular structures of the rotator cuff undergoing dystrophic degeneration. This therapeutic modality makes it possible to improve the biomechanical conditions of the patients by broadening the range of active painless movements in the affected shoulder joint by 42% (p < 0.05), normalizing tonal and load-bearing characteristics of the muscles (increase of the initially reduced muscular tone at rest by 27% (p < 0.05) at a maximum voluntary tension (16%, p > 0.05), changing trophicity of periarticular tissues (elevation of the pain sensitivity threshold of tendons and painful indurations in the functionally active muscles of the thoracic girdle of the upper extremity by 76% (p < 0.05). It is concluded that these changes contribute to the improvement of professional activities of the patients.

[Errors and complications of total endoprosthesis of the knee joint with the prostheses "Waldemar Link"].

The article presents results of an analysis of errors and complications for total endoprosthesing different pathological states of the knee joint with prostheses "Waldemar Link". The causes of early and late complications were found. The authors have developed original means for prevention and treatment of them. The most acceptable conclusion was the recommendation to observe the principles of active surgical strategy and using the means of complex conservative therapy at different periods of rehabilitation of the patients.
