    Abstract:
    An analysis of the treatment of 203 patients with open diaphysial fractures of the long tubular bones, resulting from motor-road accidents has been carried out. Late results have been studied in 134 cases (66%) with follow-up ranging from 1 to 10 years. 69% of them have completely restored their working capacity with the possibility to return to their previous work. The results of the treatment were estimated in three-mark grading system terms: 55.7% of all the examined patients showed good results, 30.9% showed fair results and 13.4% showed poor results (pseudoarthrosis, malunion, osteomyelitis).
