title: [Results of the treatment of femoral shaft fractures].
abstract: The treatment results of 141 femoral bone fractures, including 29 complicated fractures, have been presented. The most frequent cause of femoral shaft fracture was traffic accident (71.6 per cent of the cases). The best results were obtained in the patients treated by the functional method; the worst results were obtained in the group treated surgically by adaptive osteosynthesis with the use of a metal plate and screws. In sum, excellent and good results were obtained in 70.2 per cent, fair in 19.1 per cent, and poor in 10.7 per cent of the cases.
