  • Title: Elastic intramedullary osteosynthesis for the treatment of metaphysodiaphyseal non-union of the femur and tibia.
    Author: Firica A.
    Journal: Chir Organi Mov; 1991; 76(4):347-53. PubMed ID: 1800047.
    Abstract:
    Elastic osteosynthesis is capable of producing the biomechanical conditions required to reconvert mature fibro-cartilaginous tissue interposed in the non-union in bone tissue. Theory is confirmed by a retrospective study of 54 patients affected with nonunion of the femur and tibia treated with elastic osteosynthesis.
