title: [Experience in the use of external fixation devices in the treatment of limb bone fractures, their sequelae and complications].
abstract: The present paper reflects the experience of treatment of 243 patients with utilization of external fixation apparatus. Two methods of extrafocal perosseous osteosynthesis were employed: traction wire apparatus were utilized in 217 (89.3%) victims, rod apparatus--in 26 (10.7%). The construction of employed traction wire apparatus and method of its application have been described. Remote results of treatment have been followed in 194 (79.8%) patients. Fracture consolidation has been observed in 187 (77%) patients. Complications, registered in the process of application of apparatus of different constructions, have been analyzed. The authors have come to a conclusion about high efficiency of the employed apparatus, indicated obvious advantages of the rod apparatus.
