Complex fractures of bones: when osteosynthesis is the only solution

Some bone fractures require complex treatment and excessive fixation of bone fragments. So, in the case of fractures of the elbow processes, the suprachondrium, and especially in the neck fracture of the thigh (especially in the elderly), such a method of connecting debris, such as osteosynthesis, is used.
Osteosynthesis – a complex name
Osteosynthesis is called the union of bone fragments in order to ensure that they are firmly fixed until they are fully assimilated. This operational technology is used in cases where bone fracture is severely fractured, there is a danger of damage to the skin, soft tissues, vessels, or nerves by debris (with the threat of a closed bone fracture transition open). Osteosynthesis is also used when shaving chips in the process of conservative treatment of the fracture, with a slow process of bone grafting and uneven fractures, false joints.
The main types of osteosynthesis include:
Methods of internal osteosynthesis, when various implants (plates, pins, etc.) are used for the treatment of fractures.
Methods of external) osteosynthesis, in which the chips of bones are connected by special devices (apparatus Ilizarova, etc.).
Modern technologies of osteosynthesis
Intramedullary osteosynthesis performed with the help of pins not only provides for the fixation of broken parts of the bone, but is also considered to be the least traumatic. A patient can load a broken leg or arm a few days after surgery. One of the latest achievements in the field of super-osteosynthesis was the use of polyacoustic plates that have the shape corresponding to the damaged segment of the bone.
A special place in modern orthopedics and traumatology is given to external osteosynthesis: increasingly devices of external fixation of a modern sample are used, which are not as massive as their predecessors, but nevertheless, provide a strong fixation of chips.
Qualitative treatment of a difficult fracture can only be professional
In the treatment of difficult fractures, especially those that are accompanied by severe damage to bone and soft tissues, false joints, etc. it is important not only to achieve rapid coupling of damaged bone tissue, but also to maintain the peripheral blood supply to the damaged limb. Therefore, it is important to trust their health professionals who have extensive experience in the stable osteosynthesis of long tubular bones (treatment of difficult fractures of shoulders, forearms, legs, thighs); osteosynthesis of intraarticular fractures, bones of feet, hands, etc.
