Abstract

The article describes experience of treating 256 casualties with diaphyseal fractures of extremities at Chuguiv District Hospital within 2006–2010. The following methods for fixing fragments were used: external fixation devices – 131, plates – 53, plaster bandages or orthoses – 77, intramedullary rods – 2, screws – 3. Nonunions were most common after plate osteosynthesis of the femur (26 %), tibia and fibula (22 %). Nonunions with external fixation devices were recorded in 5.6 % (femur) and 8 % (tibia and fibula) of cases.
