Purpose - assessment of the dynamics of the state, blood supply regenerate bone, muscle contractility of the arm and forearm in patients with clavicle fractures during the treatment with external fixation device. Material and methods. Authors studied 38 patients during the treatment by Ilizarov method. The muscle dynamometry, Doppler ultrasound, psychophysiological study using SF-36 test were performed. Results. The strength of the humeral and forearm muscles on the side of damage was reduced and increased by 50-80% of the conditional baseline during transosseous fixation. The high rate of blood flow in the area of injury was characteristic during the first week in the fixation period. In the process of the treatment and recovery of muscle contractility its value normalized. The treatment of clavicle fractures by Ilizarov method allows in the early period of fixation to restore the ability of patients to self-service, to reduce the influence of pain limiting factor, improves mood and health of patients.
