Dynamics of lower limb functional values in patients with dysplastic coxarthrosis after surgical treatment

Complex physiological examination of 50 patients at the age of 10-18 years with dysplastic coxarthrosis has been performed in the immediate and long-term periods after treatment. The reconstruction of proximal femur was made in 14 cases. Correcting surgeries of both articular components were performed in the remaining cases. The improvement of limb weight-bearing, joint function, as well as shortening compensation has been achieved clinically. After the Ilizarov fixator removal the functional load of the limb operated recovers most rapidly, which in combination with correct walking stereotype allows patients to increase their motor activity. Taking the restorative period regularities into consideration the complex exercise therapy for muscle contractility should be recommended only after muscle tone normalization up to intact limb values. The observed disorders of posture and the spine deformities are predominantly the adaptation manifestations of the locomotor system to functioning biomechanical conditions thereby requiring special attention in exercise therapy complex.
