Further experiences of Küntscher's nailing for tibial shaft fractures
Arch Orthop Trauma Surg.
1991.
Abstract
We present the experience of managing 429 fractures of the tibia fixed with straight Küntscher rods. The overall impression is quite encouraging because this method involves a short and easy operation with limited exposure and provides sound fixation. Complications have been negligible.
