[Experience with the treatment of open leg fractures].
Open leg fractures observed in 81 patients are analysed by the authors. In case of conservative treatment alone and in the group, which has been treated with primary osteosynthesis satisfactory results have been observed by the authors. False joint and osteomyelitis happened only in the group, in which the patients obtained firstly conservative treatment and in the case of the failure of this treatment osteosynthesis has been carried out. In the authors' opinion the most frequent complications are due - besides the damage of the soft parts - to the repeated and sometimes erroneous interventions.
