Treatment results of 30 patients with diaphyseal fractures of shin bones are presented. All patients were treated by transosseus osteosynthesis tehnique with rod apparatus developed by author. Good outcome of treatment was received in 28 (93,3%) patients, satisfactory - in 2 (6,7%) in one - three years after operation. This method of treatment permits to perform a closed accurate reposition of bone fragments, to achieve the stable fixation for the whole period of treatment and to mobilize patients on second day after operation.
