[A combined osteosynthesis method for ununited fractures and pseudarthroses of the femur neck]. 1990

V I Nuzhdin, and I S Khudaĭdatov

A combined method of osteosynthesis consisting of three consecutive steps (reposition and fixation of fragments of the neck with the help of cortical allotransplants, intertrochanteric osteotomy with medialization of the femur, osteosynthesis of the three formed fragments with the Trotsenko-Nuzhdin plate) was used in 28 patients with ununited fractures and false joints of the femoral neck. In 88% of the cases the method resulted in recoveries and returned patients to their professional work.
