Abstract

The work deals with the high-priority problem of treatment of patients with posttraumatic deformities of the hand bones, the advantages and short-comings of currently used methods of treating such deformities have been determined by literature data. . The special features of different transosseous osteosynthesis techniques using the Ilizarov mini-fixator have been shown depending on the localization, type of hand tubular bone deformity. The analysis of outcomes has been made in patients with posttraumatic deformities of the hand bones, treated by transosseous osteosynthesis method.
