This paper presents a clinical case of the successful treatment of a patient with a closed Association of osteosynthesis type C fracture of the distal metaepiphysis of the left radius. The early three-week rehabilitation using kinesitherapy by the «Artromot H» device within 2 postoperative weeks made it possible to avoid the development of positional stiffness of the radiocarpal joint. Within 6 post-traumatic weeks the full range of motion of the joint and the patient’s working capacity were restored.
