The article presents the results of surgical rehabilitation of 21 patients with diaphyseal fractures of humerus diaphysis, with localization in the middle-lower third of the diaphysis, using transosseous osteosynthesis with an external fixation device. Evaluation of the results was carried out by retrospective analysis of the outcomes of surgical rehabilitation of patients with humerus diaphysis fractures using transosseous osteosynthesis by external fixation apparatus in the period from 2015–2020. It showed that the modified closed transosseous osteosynthesis by external fixation apparatus and the use of a rod line-up allows significantly reducing the risks of complications in comparison with the traditional technology of bone and intraosseous fixation and achieving excellent and good results in 85.7% of patients with diaphyseal fractures of the humerus.

Key words: humerus, diaphyseal fractures, external fixation apparatus.
