A comparative analysis of treatment results of fractures of long bones of the upper extremities was made in 172 victims with severe polytrauma. The traditional strategy of treatment was used in the first group. The new technologies such as prognostic tactics, method of Damage control orthopedics and low-invasive osteosynthesis developed by the authors were applied in the second group. The application of new technologies allowed doctors to improve the immediate and long-term results of surgery. The rate of lethality decreased in 1,6 times, incidence of complications reduced in 1,4 times. Hospital stay shortened in 2 times: for victims with favorable prognosis - on 7 days; for patients with unfavorable prognosis - on 13 days. The long-term results were studied in 154 (89,5%) patients. The common duration of treatment reduced on 30 days and the quantity of good results increased on 18,6%. The number of patients with vocational rehabilitation increased from 82,3 to 90,7%.
