Peculiarities of transosseous osteosynthesis with pin-rod external fixation devices at treatment of various intraarticular fractures in the area of the knee joint are presented. Analysis of treatment outcomes for 108 patients with 110 fractures (18 fractures of femoral condyles and 92 fractures of tibial condyles) was performed. Excellent and good results were achieved in 83 (75.4%) cases. In polysegmental and impression-compression fractures of femoral and tibial condyles the treatment results were most often only satisfactory or unsatisfactory that was accounted for the severity of injury with massive destruction of the articular surfaces.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
