[Classification of complications of combined injuries of abdominal organs and long tubular bones in traffic accidents].

The outcomes of treatment of 386 victims with abdominal trauma and fractures of the long tubular bones were studied. The authors systematized the typical complications developing after the trauma, both on the part of the injured organs of the abdominal cavity and true pelvis and the fractures of the long tubular bones. This allowed the developed complications to be divided according to time into early, late, and sequelae of trauma.

[Treatment of fractures of long bones associated with extensive skin avulsion].

The work analyses the experience in the treatment of 46 patients with fractures of long tubular bones and extensive wounds with avulsion of the skin at the department of emergency traumatology from 1983 to 1988. The method of choice in the treatment of fractures of the long tubular bones in this category of patients is functionally-stable osteosynthesis mainly with external fixation apparatuses on a nail or rod basis. A rational succession of the manipulations for surgical debridement of the extensive wound was determined, which made the surgeon's work much easier and reduced the time needed for the operation.

[Treatment of diaphyseal femoral fractures in patients with associated and multiple traumas].

There has been analysed an outcome of treatment of diaphysial fractures of femur in 124 victims with associated and multiple damages. The analysed group of victims has been urgently subjected to intramedullary nailing osteosynthesis by means of a rod of our construction. Developed and officially approved method of nailing osteosynthesis not only eliminates application of bulky plaster bandages, skeletal traction systems, but ensures mobility, possibility of carrying out the repeated diagnostic and treatment--and--prophylactic measures and, in the indicated cases, repeated operative intervention.
