Elastic External Fixation of Tibial Fractures: Influence of Associated Internal Fixation

  • Conference paper
Current Concepts of External Fixation of Fractures

Abstract

An osteosynthesis is a means of fixation of bone fragments with direct anchorage of the material to the bone. Due to muscular function and daily living activities, the osteosynthesis is subjected to mechanical forces.
