[Treatment of diaphyseal femoral fractures with extramedullary compressive-dynamic osteosynthesis]
Abstract:
Since 2000 year 39 patients with diaphyseal femoral fractures have been treated using the technique of extramedullary compressive-dynamic osteosynthesis. Treatment is finished in 25 patients, 11 of them resumed their previous activities, while 14 did not. They are under follow-up and demonstrate different stages of fracture consolidation. The constructed device meets the requirements of extramedullary fixation and develops the necessary compression of the fracture zone. The flexible partly transfers the load to the fracture area, stimulating, thus, regeneration and consolidation of the lesion.
