[Treatment of low fractures of the leg bones].
The reposition-fixation method was used successfully in 35 cases of low diaphyseal fractures of the bones of the crus. Reposition of the tibial fragments was carried out by means of four wires tightened in pairs in two stirrups. This was followed with the application of a circular plaster bandage. After X-ray checking of the fracture site the stirrups were removed, the ends of the wires were bent and plastered into the bandage. All the patients recovered and started working again.


RESULTS
2 patients, who had sustained open fractures, developed osteomyelitis, refracture occurred in 2 other patients, osteomyelitis in the site of the insertion of the wires--in 1 patient.
