[Stable metal osteosynthesis in ununited fractures and pseudarthroses of the tibia]. 1988

V I Shaposhnikov

The plunge nailing osteosynthesis with the Küntscher nail through the tibia tuberosity and with the Bogdanov nail through the medial malleolus provide stable fixation of the fragments. When combined with decortication of the bone diaphysis and autoplasty with translocated bone transplants the method gives consolidation in ununited fractures and false joints of the tibia within 17-21 weeks. The method was used in operations of 20 patients. The follow-up observation of 18 patients lasted longer than a year. All of them resumed their working capacity.
