Intramedullary blocking nails usage in treatment of diaphyseal femur and tibia fractures of patients with isolated multiple injuries

The article describes results of treatement using blocking intramedullary osteosynthesis in 76 patients with diaphyseal fractures of the femur and tibia. Our experience application of blocking intramedullary osteosynthesis showed the following advantages causing early joints activity: no opening of fracture’s line; decreased bleeding and risk of development of septic complication; blocking of above and below place of fracture excludes rotational angular mixture of bone fragments and shortening them in length. Needless of additional external immobilization in application of the method made possible the early activation of joints and shortening of hospital treatment. The received results testify the high efficiency of this method and further development the concept of early osteosynthesis in treatment of diaphyseal fractures of long bones in patients with a multiple trauma.
