The paper present our results in application of new method for nonunion treatment of the femoral diaphysis.

The internal fixator has been applied with 36 patients. Bone graft substitution is used with 11 (30,5%) patients. The method of placement and results of the work according to the modified system of the Karlstrom-Olerud method have been presented. Excellent condition was found with 25 (69,4%) patients, satisfactory with 8 (22,2%) and poor with 3 (8,3%) patients. Average healing time is 57 weeks.

The method in which the internal fixator is applied provides complete stability of the nonunion and makes possible spontaneous-biological dinamization of the nonunion. It doesn’t damage the periosteal and medullary bone vascularization which favors healing process.

Cluster bombs are an inhuman weaponary, intended, among other things, for mass kiling of humans. The use of modern weaponary can cause very serious damage of all structures in injured extremity. During the war on teritory of Yugoslavia in 1999. at our clinic for orthopaedic and tramatology Ð Clinical Center Nis, we have treated 120 injured patients. The youngest injured patient was 17 the oldest 77. In evaluated group the patients of third and forth decade of life have been dominated.

Multiple injuries were the most often (caused by cluste bombs). All victims got hard wounds of lesia type due to injuring by a great number of sharpnelñs. The hospital treatment complexity of these wounds is pointed out. Such treatment is caused by a number of simultaneous wounds of many sistems in organisam. We have treated war wounds with fractures of extremity with the Ç Mitkovic È external þxator (using convergent method of pin applications), living the wounds open and performing necessary debridments.AT and antibiotic therapy was administrated. Surgical treatment of war wounds, external þxation, living the wounds open and performing necessary debridments, adequate drug therapy, are essential in achieving good results in this patients.

To take care of casualties is a complex task requesting the teamwork of orthopaedists, common surgeries and plastic surgery specialists.
