[Transosteal ostheosynthesis of distal shoulder fractures]

92 patients with distal intra- and periarticular fractures of the shoulder bone were treated with the use of transosteal ostheosynthesis device of Gorodnichenko A.I. Atraumatic and secure fixation of bone fragments allowed fast recovery, which served as a prophylaxis of contractures and osteoarthrosis. Fracture consolidation was registered in all cases. Among complications was only soft tissue inflammation around pins in 5 patients. Good results were registered in 51 (68.9%) patients and satisfactory in 23 (31.1%) patients. The method of transosteal ostheosynthesis allowed earlier rehabilitation and thus, led to better functional results of intra- and periarticular fractures, due to the preservation of motional possibility from the first postoperative day.
