Abstract

Traumatism in road-and-transport accidents at present is characterized by an increase in the number and the severity of the injuries with multiple and associated ones being predominant. The most frequent types of the combinations were as follows: head - extremities (35.9%); abdomen - pelvis - extremities (15.1%); head - abdomen - extremities (13.8%); head - breast - extremities and breast - extremities (14.7%), etc. The predominant focus of the injuries which causes a direct danger to the life of the victims at the period immediately after the trauma are craniocerebral injuries and injuries of the inner organs because of their severe complications such as asphyxia and acute massive blood loss. Diagnostic and therapeutic tactics oriented towards the immediate revealing of the injuries dangerous to life and of their complications is proposed. The method of compression-and-distraction osteosynthesis occupies a more and more prominent place in the treatment of the injuries of the locomotor system.
