In this section the cuttings of each of the eight principal levels of FEMUR are represented. Out of 93 positions defined according to the Method of Unified Designation of External Fixation (positions 2, 3, and 4 at level I of the femur are not considered due to the anatomical causes), the safe positions form 73,1% (68 positions). On the femur 24 reference positions (25,8%) for transosseous element insertion were identified *. The application of K-wires is expedient only at levels VI, VII, and VIII. On the femur three Yin-meridians with centrifugal direction of the energy motion pass: liver meridian (F), spleen meridian (Rp) and kidney meridian (R). There are three Yang-meridians with centripetal direction of energy motion: stomach meridian (E), bladder meridian (V), and gall bladder meridian (VB). The meridians on the femur are represented by 21 active point.
We want to note that in some SP the value of facsial removal is higher than scin and muscle removal. That's why it's necessary to perform subcutaneous fasciotomy using vascular scissors before insertion of transosseous elements in the projection of these positions. This manipulation is followed by typical crunch. The direction and value of fasciotomy are individual for each segment and level of transosseous elements insertion. The corresponding explanations are given in the comments, following each cutting.
