Lower extremity nerve injuries accompanying bone fractures and joint dislocations lead to serious disturbances at the lower limbs and caused significant prolongation of the treatment time. Clinical material consisted of 73 patients treated surgically with lower extremity nerve injuries due to bone fractures and joint dislocation. Based on this material we analysed the most frequent localisations of the nerves lesions and the mechanism of injury. The indications to surgical treatment were also described.
