Morphological Aspects Specific to the Location of False Joints

Abstract

In recent years, skeletal bone injuries have become increasingly severe and complex due to the intensification of urbanization processes, the increase in the frequency of road traffic accidents and the total number of injuries caused by moving machinery in production.

At the same time, in the structure of injuries to the musculoskeletal system, fractures of the long bones of the extremities occupy a leading place, accounting for up to 82.8% of all fractures [3]. A significant portion of them are diaphyseal fractures.

Despite certain scientific achievements, the percentage of unsatisfactory results in the treatment of high-energy injuries, leading to complications such as delayed consolidation and non-union of fractures, and the formation of pseudoarthroses, does not tend to decrease.
