Analysis of errors in osteosynthesis of limb fractures

The authors studied the results of osteosynthesis in 96 patients with ununited fractures and pseudoarthrosis of long bones of the skeleton who received treatment in the traumatology department of the KBSMP. Of these, 54 (51.84%) were men, 42 (40.32%) were women, their age ranged from 14 to 70 years. An analysis of the mistakes made and recommendations for their prevention were carried out. Errors that occur during the treatment of patients with limb fractures are a common cause of unfavorable outcomes. Despite the special attention of specialist doctors, the number of errors and complications does not decrease. After unwanted doctor mistakes, the most frequently developing complication leading to disability is: formation of a pseudarthrosis, failure of metal osteosynthesis due to migration or fracture of the fixator, development of osteomyelitis with subsequent bone defect, post-traumatic arthrosis with joint stiffness (post-traumatic contracture)
