    Author: Tigani D, Sabetta E, Galli G, Moscato M, Boriani S.
    Journal: Chir Organi Mov; 1990; 75(1):71-6. PubMed ID: 2369857.
    Abstract:
    The authors report on 30 fractures of the femur and tibia treated with the Grosse-Kempf locked nail in patients aged more than 60 years. Neither nonunion nor severe complications were observed; surgical trauma was well sustained. Functional results were particularly satisfactory; most patients began walking within the first week after fixation.
