Abstract

The proposed method of reposition and polyaxial stabilization of fragments for intramedullary meallosynthesis of fractures of long tubular bones allows blocking osteosynthesis to be successfully used in treatment of complex metaphyseal fractures of shin bones. It results in strong fixation of the fragments, makes it possible to successfully eliminate residual deformities after introduction of the nail and to avoid the development of them in future under the influence of loading. The method provides early functioning of the interfacing joints, early axial loading, shorter period of disability, the absence of external immobilization.
