  • Title: [Treatment of tibial shaft fracture in the area of the large medullary cavity--an indication for intramedullary nailing? Results of intramedullary nailing and comparison with concurrent treatment procedures].
    Author: Weissenborn W.
    Journal: Zentralbl Chir; 1985; 110(10):613-22. PubMed ID: 4024760.
    Abstract:
    Nailing has become the major method of treating lower leg fractures: though there are still different opinions how to treat lower leg fractures localized between the proximal-middle and middle-distal third as well as in the second and fifth/sixth. Following our own experiences with 192 lower leg nailings in that sphere we report the results in order to demonstrate the efficiency of nailing in comparison with the traditional way of conservative treatment and plate osteosynthesis.
