COMPARATIVE FUNCTIONAL EVALUATION OF VARIOUS OPTIONS FOR EXTERNAL FIXATION OF DIAPHYSEAL FRACTURES OF THE HUMERUS.
Abstract
Treatment of diaphyseal fractures of long tubular bones remains to this day a far from solved problem. At the same time, no one doubts the priority of surgical methods of treatment. Taking into account the criteria of the "ideal" fixator at the present stage of the development of traumatology, the best is external transosseous osteosynthesis using various devices 1, 2. Nevertheless, there are a number of factors constraining the wider use of this method in the treatment of fractures of long tubular bones. We have analyzed these factors in relation to the use of various options for external fixation. As an example, we will focus on the treatment of diaphyseal fractures of the shoulder.
