    Abstract:
    The article presents the results of treatment of 42 patients with reactive and inflammatory arthropathy of the knee and ankle joints. Nineteen patients were exposed to EHF (460 MHz) electromagnetic field, 23 patients received local cutaneous alpha therapy with radon applicator. Radon concentration was 7.4 Bq/l (0.2 nCi/l), the exposure was 90 minutes. Local alpha-therapy by radon applicator proved highly active as shown by attenuation of inflammation, excudative and proliferative disorders in the joints.
