The authors determined the characteristics of secondary scar deformities in children depending on its localization and specificity of the primary injury. For the period from 2008 to 2010 we examined and treated 184 children with scar deformities of varying degrees of severity and location. The examination included: clinical methods including neurological examination, as well as rentgenography, electroneuromyography, ultrasound, CT and MRI, depending on indications. In addition, depending on the localization of a deformity were performed stabilographic and biomechanical studies. Surgical and medical treatment of cicatricial deformity in children depends on the anatomical and physiological characteristics of the affected segment. In planning the reconstruction of treatment, must be taken into account the conditions of local blood circulation, which can vary greatly depending on the duration of the existence the deformity and the etiology of the primary lesion. Basic principles of prophylactic clinical examination of pediatric patients at the stages of rehabilitation:
