[Osteosynthesis with metal compression plates in fresh and ununited fractures, pseudarthroses and bone defects of the forearm].

Abstract

Osteosynthesis with compressing plates was performed in 112 patients with fractures (51) and non-united fractures (61) of forearm bones. In 6 of 10 patients operated upon within 7 days after trauma the fracture failed to unite. Operations made later than 7 days after trauma gave consolidation of the fractures in 39 of 41 patients. The treatment of non-healing fractures was effective in 57 of 61 operated patients. With the help of metallic plates with 6--8 screws the complete stabilisation of bone fragments was achieved following any kind of diaphyseal fracture.
