All patients received the intramedullary ostheosynthesis with the use of TRIGEN INTERTAN fixation system. The long-term follow up results were obtained from 35 patients. Thus, the excellent result was registered in 12 (34.3%) patients, good - in 14 (40%), and satisfactory result was noted in 9 (25.7%) of these patients.
