Specific features with of intramedullary osteosynthesis with blocking in fractures of the shin bones at different levels

The results of closed intramedullary osteosynthesis with blocking were analyzed in 180 patients with open (in 22) and closed (in 158 patients) fractures of shin bones fulfilled within the period from 3 days to 3.5 months after trauma. In 16 patients the intramedullary canal was drilled out. The exac...

Description
Summary:The results of closed intramedullary osteosynthesis with blocking were analyzed in 180 patients with open (in 22) and closed (in 158 patients) fractures of shin bones fulfilled within the period from 3 days to 3.5 months after trauma. In 16 patients the intramedullary canal was drilled out. The exact reposition of the shin-bone in closed intramedullary osteosynthesis was obtained in 142 patients: the terms of consolidation in this case were (6.4+/-1.3) months. The examination of all the patients in the period from 6 months to 2 years after operation has shown consolidation of the shin-bone fracture in 176 (97.7%) of them.
