ABSTRACT – DIAPHYSEAL FRACTURES OF THE LONG BONES. CORRECTION OF POST-TRAUMATIC DEFORMITIES Long bone deformities as a result of trauma may lead to complications such as chronic pain, abnormal functional loading, cosmetic abnormality, joint arthritis and, if located at the lower limbs, difficult walking. The introduction of the typical circular external fixation played a prominent role in improving the management of these deformities, and second-generation circular devices (hexapod systems connected to computer planning software), which allow for simultaneous correction of all kinds of deformities in adults and children, further improved versatility, patient tolerability and nursing.
