Abstract
Experience in treatment of 104 patients aged from 18 to 74 years with sequelae of femur and shin fractures (47 patients with ununited and improperly united fractures and 57 patients with noninfected pseudarthroses and bone defects) was presented. Analysis of the results showed that the main reasons for unfavorable consequences of fracture were osteosynthesis failure, inadequate appraisal of fracture pattern and localization, inadequate treatment-tactic measures (inobservance of optimum treatment terms, early abolition of external immobilization or groundless refusal of its application, discrepancy between osteosynthesis stability and early functional loads). Treatment outcome (assessment by N.A. Lyuboshits - E.R. Mattis and I.L. Shvarzberg systems) was recognized as good in 49%, satisfactory - in 42.3% and poor - in 8.7% of cases.
