title: Static-dynamic intramedullary nailing (SDIN) in diaphyseal and metaphyseal lower limb fractures.
abstract: The authors report their experience with the Grosse-Kempf nail in treatment of diaphyseal and metaphyseal fractures of the femur and tibia. The biological and biomechanical preconditions of the method as well as several details of the surgical technique are discussed, and the results of 70 procedures performed from 1986 to 1989 are evaluated. The outcomes are quite positive and confirm other reports in the literature.
