Comparative characteristics of systems of external fixation devices used in the treatment of diaphyseal and intra-articular fractures of the long bones
Article is devoted to the history, development and improvement of the method of transosseous osteosynthesis, approaches of the many authors to external fixation of bone fragments. The analysis of osteosynthesis has been conducted. Positive and negative sides of the method, various designs of external fixation devices, starting with the core units and ending with the spoke-rod devices have been shown. The evaluation of the stability of fixation of bone fragments in the “machine- bone” is given. We present the new directions of development of transosseous osteosynthesis method
