Our telemedical systems successfully tested in the treatment and diagnostic work of Donetsk R&D Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics. We have already carried out 144 teleconsultations, working with the specialists from 31 countries. The reliability of the correct diagnostics using the digitized data makes 72.8%. The effectiveness of the use of the suggested methods of treatment makes approximately 80%.  The use of teleconsultations for the treatment of patients with polytrauma allows to reduce the terms of in-hospital treatment in 16%, the frequency of complications in 9.2% and relative risk of developing the complications in 10%, as well as the parameter of the re-hospitalization in 0.4%. We recommend the widespread use of the off-line consultations on the basis of the Internet-technology.  Key words: telemedicine, teleradiology, informatics, teleconsultations
