[Treatment of diaphyseal fractures of long tubular bones by functional intraosseous osteosynthesis].

A clinical analysis of treatment of 328 diaphyseal fractures of long bones in 304 patients by functional intraosseous osteosynthesis which is not to be followed by plaster immobilization has shown that the function was reestablished long before the consolidation. The functional intraosseous synthesis was performed without drilling of the bone marrow cavity, without special appliances or devices. Terms of invalidism are shorter than traditional ones. Consolidation of the fractures takes place within 5-10 months. The nails are removed at the same terms. The method is of low cost, easy in use, reliable, is followed by few complications.
