We have experience in applying different variants of Ilizarov osteosynthesis in the treatment of 158 patients and disabled persons with non-unionized fractures, false joints and defects of long tubular bones complicated by purulent infection. There were 116 men (73.4%) and 42 women (26.6%). The age composition ranged from 16 to 70 years. The majority (more than 60%) were of young working age (20 to 40 years). Open fractures of the tubular bones were previously detected in 148 (93.7%) patients, and closed fractures in 10 (6.3%). The latter patients developed postoperative osteomyelitis after osteosynthesis with various submersible metal fixators performed in rural district hospitals. The duration of the disease from the time of injury was from 5 months to 6 years.
