Abstract:
The failure of using general intramedullary nail or compression plating to treat femoral shaft fracture often causes delayed union or nonunion. Since 1995, we have treated 15 patients with delayed union and nonunion of femoral shaft fracture with interlocked Grosse-Kempf nail. Good results have been obtained.
