Delayed closed endomedullary osteosynthesis in complicated fractures of the femur and tibia. 1977

F Ruggieri, and G F Zinghi, and R Lanfranchi

The results obtained with delayed closed endomedullary osteosynthesis in 230 cases are considered. This method greatly extends the use of endomedullary nailing to open fractures and those in which controindications of a mechanical nature (multiple fractures, or at several levels) rule out the immediate use of implants. The techniques proposed (osteosynthesis with triflanged nail in fractures of the diaphysis and osteosynthesis with double Rush nails in metaphysio-diaphysis fractures) have two advantages. Due to the non opening of the fracture focus there is minimal risk of infection and early restoration of function.
