Outcomes of Surgical Treatment of Fractures in Concomitant and Multiple Injuries in Children
Outcomes of surgical treatment of 72 children with concomitant (55) and multiple (17) injuries of locomotor system were analyzed. In 53 patients (group 1) surgical interventions for bone fractures were performed in early terms (within 3 days after trauma), in 19 patients (group 2) the interventions were postponed. In group 1 good and satisfactory result was achieved in 92% of patients (63 segments), in group 2 - in 85.2% of patients (23 segments). Duration of hospitalization made up in two groups 11.5 and 14.5 days, respectively. Application of pirod external fixation devices facilitated the treatment course due to the reduction of treatment duration and traumatization, as well as use of more simple technique of long bones and pelvis osteosynthesis.
