[Condylar plates in the reconstructive surgery of the proximal tibia]

Eleven proximal pseudarthroses of the tibia and elevated osteotomies of the head of the tibia were treated by fitting a condylar plate; this was done at two hospitals in Berlin and Bayreuth in the course of the past ten years. In all osteosyntheses, osseous reconstruction was achieved within a favourable time. Although mounting is technically intricate, it yields immediate or at least early exercise stability.
