FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves injured splitters by means of compression-distraction apparatus, conducting the fixing members through proximal and distal bone fragments. The coaxiality is restored. Distraction of the proximal and distal bone fragments is carried out with soft tissue envelope of the injured extremity segment being stretched until unfixed bone fragments are directed along its longitudinal axis. EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of treatment; enabled bone integrity to be restored over a long distance. 3 dwg
