Abstract

Twenty five comminuted unstable fractures of femur or tibia were treated with the Grosse-Kempf interlocking nail. The biomechanical properties of interlicking nail are quiet different from the intramedullary nail The osteosynthesis material assumes the full load in static interlicking nail, though in Kuntscher nail, the osseous cylinder itself can vear the weight. Partial weight-bearing is permitted in early stage. Full weight-bearing is allowed after the dynamization while the bridging callus are formed. Too early weight-bearing will produce bending or fracture of the nail. Excellent or good result were obtained in 88.9% of the patients of femoral fractures, and 81.3% of the patients of tibia fractures. There was no bending or fracture of nail.
