  • Title: [Treatment of diaphyseal fractures of the crural bones].
    Author: Baskevich MIa.
    Journal: Vestn Khir Im I I Grek; 1985 Mar; 134(3):82-5. PubMed ID: 4002528.
    Abstract:
    Results of the treatment of 878 diaphyseal fractures of the shin are analyzed according to the severity of fractures and methods of treatment. The immobilization method was shown to be preferred for light fractures, closed intramedullary osteosynthesis for fractures of the moderate severity, extrafocal osteosynthesis--for critical fractures. Skeletal traction is expedient for fractures of the moderate severity, whose biomechanical characteristics are not suitable for intramedullary osteosynthesis.
