A Mini-Invasive Internal Fixation Technique for Studying Immobilization-Induced Knee Flexion Contracture in Rats

Biological fixation of subtrochanteric fractures by external fixation
Abstract:
Fifty-one subtrochanteric fractures have been stabilized by external fixation over the last 9 years. Union occurred in all types of fractures, usually within 6 months. Soft tissue interposition led to non-union in three patients. Refracture in one patient and significant limb-length discrepancy in two patients was seen. The technique is versatile, easily reproducible and 'biological'. Protected weight-bearing is not necessary after removal.
