EXPERIENCE OF A VARIABLE MAGNETIC FIELD FOR REHABILITATION OF PATIENTS WITH HIGH-condylar fractures PROCESS OF LOWER JAW

In the clinic of maxilla-facial surgery of 1st Moscow State Medical University IM Sechenov, a surveillance consisting of 34 patients, who were hospitalized with the diagnosis of high fracture of condylar process of the mandible, was conducted. Application of physical therapy by an alternating magnetic field with a frequency corresponding to the natural frequency of the pulsating microvascular bed, patients with high fractures of the condylar ridge of the mandible showed high efficiency to this technique. The usage of alternating magnetic field is to optimize of the microcirculation in the zone of fracture, which generally contributes to the local healing processes, a favourable postoperative course, the absence of inflammatory complications.
