Comparative Study[Estimation of blood loss in mechanical injuries].
The examination of 2033 patients with severe mechanical injuries has shown that in most patients with traumas of the head, chest and upper extremities of the same localization (isolated or multiple) the volume of blood loss was not more than 20% of the circulating blood volume. Isolated and multiple injuries of the abdomen, pelvis, spine and lower extremities in 28-54% of the patients were followed by blood loss more than 20% of the circulating blood volume. Associated traumas in most cases were followed by massive blood loss (more than 40% of the CBV).

[Stable metal osteosynthesis in ununited fractures and pseudarthroses of the tibia].
The plunge nailing osteosynthesis with the Küntscher nail through the tibia tuberosity and with the Bogdanov nail through the medial malleolus provide stable fixation of the fragments. When combined with decortication of the bone diaphysis and autoplasty with translocated bone transplants the method gives consolidation in ununited fractures and false joints of the tibia within 17-21 weeks. ⋯ The follow-up observation of 18 patients lasted longer than a year. All of them resumed their working capacity.
