[Plate osteosynthesis using the support principle].
In the operative treatment of fractures there are special principles for plating by support. Osteosynthesis is indicated for comminnuted fractures and bone defects in the metaphysis. Plating for distance also is established for fractures and pseudarthroses with defects in the diaphysis. This method is especially recommended for fractures of the head of the tibia and for reconstructing the pilon tibial.
