    Abstract:
    The results of exercise therapy were compared in patients with diaphysial leg fractures operated by standard technique and those operated by the technique of closed blocking intramedullary osteosynthesis (CBIO). After CBIO rehabilitation was more successful and required less time. This arises from the fact that in blocking osteosynthesis soft tissues of the damaged segment are not cut while intraosseous blocking screws exclude shortening of the leg and rotation instability of the fragments. That's why it is not necessary to fix the leg with a circular gypsum bandage which allows early intensification of exercise load.
