The author has proposed a method of intraosseous osteosynthesis in closed diaphyseal fractures of the bones of the forearm according to a closed or half-open technique using a specially prepared titan alloy BT6 rod. After the operation no immobilization by plaster bandage is necessary. The function of the extremity is restored long before the consolidation of the fragments is achieved. The period of disability after the operation is shorter than after the traditional methods of treatment.
