Abstract
The commentary touches upon the interpretation of the term refracture and discusses the hemodynamic features in the area of the emerging fusion in primary and repeated fractures in children. In particular, not only the role of methods for studying blood circulation in the diagnosis of disorders of reparative processes is considered, but attention is also focused on the risk of complications in the conservative and surgical treatment of fractures of the long bones of the extremities in children. It is emphasized that in order to minimize the risks of refractory development, it is necessary to take into account the individual characteristics of a pediatric patient, the method of fixing a fracture, rehabilitation and dispensary observation. The commentary provides a brief overview of publications by domestic and foreign authors on this problem.
