[Treatment of diaphyseal femoral fractures in patients with associated and multiple traumas].

There has been analysed an outcome of treatment of diaphysial fractures of femur in 124 victims with associated and multiple damages. The analysed group of victims has been urgently subjected to intramedullary nailing osteosynthesis by means of a rod of our construction. Developed and officially approved method of nailing osteosynthesis not only eliminates application of bulky plaster bandages, skeletal traction systems, but ensures mobility, possibility of carrying out the repeated diagnostic and treatment--and--prophylactic measures and, in the indicated cases, repeated operative intervention. Clinical approval of the method of nailing osteosynthesis by means of the rod of our construction allowed to reduce the term of treatment, number of complications, temporary invalidity and invalidism as compared with the group of patients, subjected to conservative treatment.
