Frequency is studied of adequate, redundant, inert, and reduced types of thermoreactivity in healthy subjects and patients with fractures. Definition of type of thermoreactivity to cooling in patients with fractures of the thighbone permits prognosticating the course of the bone fracture healing process. The symptom of distal hyperthermia/hypothermia is unspecific but is regarded as a supplementary index of the type of thermoreactivity and character of the course of the fracture healing process.
