The paper presents a biomechanical assessment of the outcomes of treatment of 148 patients with intra-articular fractures of the knee joint. The outcomes of treatment of 2 groups of patients were studied: those who received surgical treatment using traditional immersion fixators and with the help of an external fixation apparatus with a dynamic compression device developed by us. On the basis of clinical and experimental data, it has been established that the optimal values of the compression force for fractures of the condyles of the femur and tibia are the force in the range of 274.1±6.7 N. This allowed 92.1% of patients to obtain positive anatomical and functional results
