The authors have treated 399 fractures of the femoral shaft by blind nailing with reaming following Kuntscher's technique. They fully describe the necessary technical details for a safe operation. They emphasize the importance of an adequate instrumentation and report peroperative complications and the way for avoiding them (poor reduction of the fractures, difficulty for bridging the fracture site, creating of additional fragments, blockage of reamers or nails in the medullary canal). Indications and results are described. I non-union, 15 malunions and 4 sepsis were reported.
