The paper presents the methodology of estimation of early and late outcome of polymeric osteosynthesis; basic criteria’s of estimation were determined and the score system was introduced. The experience of use of fixation devices made of polyamide-12 for osteosynthesis of limbs fractures in different location was analyzed. The peculiarities of clinical and X-ray picture were discribed. Appropriateness of CAT and MRI investigation in late postoperative period was substantiated. The suggested methodology may be used for estimation of osteosynthesis results with devices made of various metal alloys and other constructive materials.
