The article presents a clinical case of a patient being treated after a road accident in the Kaluga Regional Clinical Hospital of Emergency Medicine named after K. N. Shevchenko, delivered by an ambulance team 1,5 hours later with a diagnosis: Polytrauma. Severe closed head injury. Brain contusion of moderate severity. Fracture of the pelvic bones. Lung contusion. Respiratory failure 1-2. Traumatic shock. Taking into account the severity of the patient’s general condition, we performed minimally invasive osteosynthesis of the pelvic bones with an external fixation device of the original design of spoke arrangement and CITO screw. After 2,5 months, fracture consolidation was diagnosed and the apparatus was dismantled. Then the patient underwent a course of rehabilitation and restorative treatment. At the end of the course of rehabilitation treatment, a good recovery of the patient’s functionality was noted.
Key words: polytrauma, external fixation device of the original design, treatment tactics, injury control surgery.
