Abstract:
This article reviews the currently most widely used methods and their features of the non operative and operative treatment for the fractures of long tubular bones. It is widely accepted that each of the two methods is useful in its injury degree and in kind. It is wise to choose the non operative treatment for child fractures, adult fractures easily reduced, and the complementary therapy after surgery. External bone fixation is preferentially selected as for the open long tubular bone fracture with severe injuries to the soft tissues, early freatments of long tubular bone fracture with multiple injuries all over the body and fire arm injury. While it is widely accept that an active operative treatment should be take for the open fractures, multiple fractures, multi plane fractures, intraarticular fractures, and the fractures with vessel or nerve injury, and the biological fixation should be chosen in order not to impair circulartory supply of soft tissues. Arriving at the conclusions that future studies of the treatments for the fractures of long tubular bones will be conducted in meticulously design for therapy, minimally invasive osteosynthesis, satisfactory reduction, stably biological fixation, immediately active motion and results in a good runctional recovery for the limbs.
