Abstract
Retrospective analysis of long-term results of surgical treatment for intra-articular knee fractures was presented. There were 52 patients who were treated at Inter-regional Traumatologic Department of Elabuga CRH from 1996 to 2000. The age of patients ranged from 15 to 89 years. Overwhelming majority of patients (73,1%)) was able to work, i.e. from 18 to 60 years. In 18 patients long-term results of rehabilitation were good, in 32 the results were satisfactory and in 2 cases unsatisfactory. In 53,8% of patients the limb function was restored completely. Due to marked posttraumatic knee contractures 2 patients were declared invalid of group III. The authors attributed it to the underestimation of the rehabilitation importance and the absence of complex approach to the treatment of that group of patients.
