    Abstract:
    The paper presents five years experience in using the Molskich compression-distraction apparatus compatible with ZESPOL screws. A series of 51 patients was reviewed. Thirty-four cases of nonunion were managed using gradual controlled compression. Shortened limb was elongated in 4 patients (from 4 cm to 8 cm). In 6 cases late correction of inaccurate closed ZESPOL fixation in tibial fractures was done. In remaining 7 cases Molskich fixator was applied primarily for tibial fracture fixation. Good results in 50 cases proved usefulness of the device and encouraged us to present our observations.
