[The treatment of extremity bone fractures in the cases of combined injuries].
The experience of treatment of 76 injured with fractures of two or more extremities in combination with affection of other anatomical areas (head, abdomen, breast, pelvis) was summarized. The extrafocal osteosynthesis was preferable because this method is characterized by low traumatism, minimal blood loss, adequate reposition, stable immobilization and possibility of early load in the apparatus of external fixation. Immersed osteosynthesis is used with great caution as it can cause the development of fat embolism. One-stage operations were performed in 26.3% victims. Their treatment periods were significantly shorter than during the multi-stage operations. One-stage operations for polytrauma have the following advantages over the multi-stage operations: single narcosis, simplified treatment in reanimation department, one post-operation period, quick rehabilitation and economic benefit. The extrafocal osteosynthesis causes less purulent complications.
