Callus formation and the rate of healing of femoral fractures in patients with head injuries
J Bone Joint Surg Br.
1987 Aug.
Abstract
Callus formation and the rate of union of nailed fractures of the femur has been determined in 22 patients with associated head injuries and compared with that in a group of patients with similarly treated fractures but without head injuries. The comparison confirms the widely held view that, in patients with head injuries, fractures frequently heal with excessive callus and at a faster rate than normal.
