title: [Treatment of pseudarthrosis of the lower third of the femur].
abstract: The results of surgical for pseudarthrosis of the lower third of the femur in 11 patients, using a modified King technic, are reported. To improve fixation of a distal fragment the authors suggest to employ two CITO pins with diverging ends at the level of femoral condyles with an additional compression by two rings of the Ilizarov apparatus. Plaster cast immobilization was not utilized. This method of fragments fixation provides an early motion of the knee joint. Roentgenologically and clinically the consolidation of fragments was noted after 4--5 months, the knee joint function being restored.
