In modern traumatology, selection of optimal and appropriate methods of
treatment for long tubular bone fractures, especially complicated, open,
multiple and metaepiphyseal fractures, does not lose its topicality. In case of
open and complicated (with infections, osteomyelitis, false joint) fractures,
treatment with external fixators has been considered as most of the rational.
Among external fixation devices the rod-external fixation apparatus is very
comfortable compared to pin-external fixation. With this purpose, has been
suggested the rod-external fixation apparatus (patent-office GE p 2000
2067-Bauthor G.Chaduneli) distinguished by high rigidity. Fixation is applied
simultaneously on many planes and according to the indication, Schanz’s or
Steinmann’s rods could be used. Of 79 treatment cases, 76 were positive (96,1%).
