SUBSTANCE: method involves setting two opposite Kirschner wires with rest platform through fracture line in perpendicular to crus axis. Plaster splint is applied. The wires are attached to Ilisarov apparatus ring. The ring is fixed on the plaster splint by means of two or three cantilever attachment members. The cantilever attachment members have brackets, short threaded rods, nuts, metal plates having openings for receiving a threaded rod, stepped bend giving space for setting internal nut. Metal plates allow shaping their surface to match contact surface relief. The metal plates thrust against plaster splint surface by turning the screws on brackets. Plate is additionally plastered with plaster bandage turns allover its length with the exception of middle part step.
