title: [Methodology of complex double, comminuted and composite femoral bone fracture treatment].
abstract: One of the pressing and complicated problems in modern traumatology is the treatment of complicated-composite femoral bone fractures. During treatment two and three-level fractures pose most difficulties, as well as fractures with total destruction of the bone. For treatment of such fractures it is quite problematic to select an apparatus which would best suit a single-stage osteosynthesis of fractures of proximal, middle and distal parts of femoral bone. On the basis of newly-developed external fixation apparatuses and methods of their application, hybrid apparatus application proves to be most suitable for transosseous osteosynthesis, due to its highest possible functionality, stability, and adaptability to the segment.
