Summary:

Diaphyseal fractures of the femur are rather common. In the treatment of fractures of the femur various methods of osteosynthesis can be used: intramedullary, of plate, transosseus. In our country external fixation using external fixation devices has traditionally been popular. Objective. The analysis of the frequency of use of transosseous osteosynthesis in the treatment of fractures of the femur and the identification of the most common indications for the use of the method in the present practice. Materials and Methods. The analysis of the structure of external fixation in fractures of the femur, on the experience of treatment of 126 patients with diaphyseal fractures of the femur. Results. The results of the study revealed that the structure of the osteosynthesis of fractures of the femur transosseous osteosynthesis with the use of external fixation devices is not considered to be common and is used as an alternative method of treatment. Conclusion. The treatment of fractures of the femur using transosseous osteosynthesis is currently used mostly for open, comminuted fractures and revision osteosynthesis, as well as a high risk of infectious complications in the zone of fracture, due to complexity of the method, the lowest strength of fixation and a relatively high percentage of non-specific complications.
