Operative technique and results of treatment of tibial shaft fracture using Ender nails in 46 patients are presented. In all cases tibial shaft fracture was concomitant with massive soft tissue injury and in 18 cases the fracture was open. The fracture healed in all cases, bone infection occurred in one patient.
From among over 500 knees examined arthroscopically in 5 cases operated on because of painful limitation of the range of motion besides an inveterate ACL injury a cyst located around injured fibers was found. Arthroscopic removal of the cyst rendered permanent improvement in all cases. No recurrence has occurred.
The results obtained after the use of contractors in surgical treatment of 30 vertebral body fractures with their wedging and lesion of the posterior ligaments, while the posterior wall of the vertebra in the thoracic-lumbar spine was preserved, has been presented. It is a relatively simple surgical method enabling stabilization of fracture, reconstruction of the vertebral canal and improvement of neurological condition.
