The treatment of complicated diaphyseal forearm fractures in the form of nonunions, pseudoarthrosis, defects and malunion is serious problem in traumatology and orthopaedics, because according to the literature data, unsatisfactory results in the treatment of this pathology reach 2047%. This problem requires the development and implementation of modern functional methods of treatment, which would allow to combine the period of restoration of segment integrity with the period of rehabilitation without risk of osteosynthesis instability and nonunion. The problem of choosing the optimal tactics and methods of surgical fixation of these lesions remains a subject for discussion, which is the basis for scientific research on optimization of tactics and methods of surgical treatment of patients with consequences of diaphyseal forearm fractures.
