  • Title: [The place of osteosynthesis with screwed up metallic plates in the treatment of the shaft fractures of the forearm bones].

    Abstract:
    The modern findings regarding the biomechanics of the forearm call for an as perfect as possible reduction of the fractures at this level. That is why, especially in adults, the surgical treatment is gaining more and more ground. In this context the osteosynthesis with screwed up metallic plates, preferably with compression, any time the local situation allows, it, represents the method of choice. In the 333 cases operated upon during 1971-1980 it has offered us full satisfaction. The taping with Küntscher nail was indicated--especially in the past--only in some fractures of ulna, mainly in the oblique ones, in which the rod is blocking more easily the rotary motions.
