[Prevention of early postoperative hematoma with the use of elastic bandages. Its ultrasonic diagnosis and control].

The authors stress out the importance of an application of elastic bandage for a prevention of the early postoperative hemathomas in traumatized patients, whose effect can be controlled by ultrasound. 58 patients were elaborated, of whom in 30 cases an elastic bandage was placed at the end of surgery, and 28 patients (control group) without dressing. In 8 patients of the control group, an existence of postoperative hemathomas was proved by ultrasound, while only in two cases with postoperative bandage a presence of such hemathoma could be discovered. Lesser number of postoperative hemathomas in patients with elastic bandage is statistically important (p less than 0.001). Obtained results indisputably point out the value of elastic bandage application in the course of first three postoperative days in traumatized patients.

[Extended indications for osteosynthesis by Küntscher's method].

Author experiences in the application of endomedullary osteosynthesis according to Küntscher in transversal, oblique and spiral fractures of distal one fifth of tibia, besides the widening of medullar canal, are presented. Indications for the very treatment, that belongs to the so called "extended indications", have not been generally accepted yet. However, the application of this osteosynthesis is completely justified, because after the correct indication, satisfactory results are obtained.

[Surgical treatment of forearm fractures].

Ten years of experience and the results of therapy in fractures of forearm bones are presented. Conservative therapy as the majority of surgical methods requires immobilization that results in lately started rehabilitation and because of that in bad functional result too. The development of pseudoarthrosis after these treatments is not rare. By the application of compressive osteosynthesis, negative aspects of other methods are decline, immobilization is not necessary and early rehabilitation enables quicker and complete efficiency of the injured extremity.

[Use of Küntscher's distractor].

Kuntscher's distractor is very simply constructed apparatus with a great power of traction, by which remarkable dislocations of shortening of extremity bone fragments can be gradually corrected. It is applied in acute and especially in not correctly grown fractures with shortening and in pseudoarthrosis. By that, closed osteosynthesis according to Küntscher is enabled, and side dislocation of hyperdistended fragments is slightly corrected during the treatment. We have distractor successfully applied in 12 patients with not correctly grown bone fractures, in pseudoarthrosis, and we did a stable osteosynthesis too. It has been usefully applied in contusions of extremities, draining according to Willeneger.
