Summary

Dynamic cerclage (Zugürtung) uses fracture site movement for physiological compression, accelerating bone repair. This osteosynthesis technique, though historically applied, remains underutilized despite its proven benefits over 15 years of use.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Biomechanical engineering
  • Bone healing research

Background:

  • Dynamic cerclage, or Zugürtung, is an osteosynthesis technique.
  • It utilizes controlled movement to achieve fracture compression.
  • Historically applied by Pauwels, Muller et al., and the Swiss A.O. group.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the underutilized dynamic cerclage technique.
  • To present extensive clinical experience with dynamic cerclage.
  • To advocate for broader application of this osteosynthesis method.

Main Methods:

  • Application of dynamic cerclage across various skeletal locations.
  • Longitudinal clinical observation and data collection over 15+ years.
  • Analysis of fracture repair acceleration through physiological compression.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated successful application of dynamic cerclage in diverse skeletal sites.
  • Accumulated over 15 years of positive clinical experience.
  • Observed accelerated fracture repair due to dynamic compression.

Conclusions:

  • Dynamic cerclage is a valuable, yet underappreciated, osteosynthesis technique.
  • Its application can be successfully extended to multiple skeletal regions.
  • The technique promotes physiological compression for enhanced bone healing.
