Abstract
Examination results on 12 patients with closed injuries of the ankle joint capsular-ligamentous system are presented. Together with the traditional clinical and roentgenologic methods, ultrasonography and thermometry were used for the assessment of the injury severity. It is shown that thermometry is the informative method for the determination of the early postinjury reactive inflammation severity in the zone of injury. The elaborated monitoring of the skin temperature changes in the symmetric points of the injured and intact extremities enabled to evaluate the markedness of metabolic disturbances, the pattern and rate of reparative processes in the zone of injury, as well as to determine the time of their completion.
