Abstract:
The CZ - II apparatus is a further stage of development of experimental construction CZ - I. During 3 years at Orthopedic ND Traumatology Department in Tarnów 69 patients were treated using CZ - II device. The fixator was mainly used not only in treatment of open, comminuted and multifocal fractures but also in the case of multiorgan damages as well. Authors think than using CZ - II apparatus is a simple and effective way of fixation and it also enables correction of position of fragments during treatment.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
