Bridge Plating of Comminuted Shaft of Femur Fractures
A prospective study of forty comminuted femoral shaft fractures, open and close, treated with a relatively minimally invasive technique termed as bridge plate osteosynthesis or biological fixation. Less invasive procedure, Short operative time and less blood loss was seen during surgical procedure....
