From the experience with one-stage osteosynthesis of two segments in 71 patients with multiple fractures of the extremities and their sequelae the author considers that up-to-date achievements of anesthesiology favour such interventions. He believes that the patients tolerate well one-stage operation which has some advantages as compared to multi-stage operations: only one exposure to narcosis, psychic trauma and unpleasant sensations of the postoperative period; this type of intervention affords motility of the patients and makes it possible to start the functional treatment early and to prevent development of contractures and hypostatic complications. The period of the treatment shortens, which is of economic and social importance.
