Intramedullary nailing with supplementary screw fixation (Grosse-Kempf technique). 1985

R Zanasi, and G Fioretta, and F Rotolo

The authors report their experience in 25 cases of fractures of the shaft of the femur and tibia treated by the Grosse-Kempf method of intramedullary nailing supplemented by screw fixation. They confirm the validity of this technique, which enlarges the indications for intramedullary nailing and offers an alternative method of osteosynthesis in the more severe cases.
