Tightening clamps with shape memory effect were used for interfragmental compression and fixation of bone fragments in 93 patients with intraarticular, periarticular and bifocal fractures of shin bones. In 16 patients with bifocal fractures osteosynthesis of tibial diaphysis was performed using intramedullar rod and osseous plates. Following intramedullar osteosynthesis fixation of the injured extremity with plaster splint was performed in 47 cases. In 46 patients longitudinal splinting of shin bones was performed by transosseous apparatus. Within the rehabilitation period chondroprotectors were prescribed to all patients. Good result of complex treatment was achieved in 87.5% of cases.
