title: [A possibly shorter time of fracture healing by implantation of the new dynamic rolling rod].
abstract: Two different ideas brand the opinions about the healing of fractures. Since 1965, Burny purses the idea of secondary bone-healing and for this he has developed mathematic patterns. With the elastic fixateur-fitting, he has proved that a small measure of surplus movement is necessary in the area of the fracture. Since 1979 we in Freudenstadt have used these principles of treatment and also could arrive as stable callus-formation with use of halve frame fitting. Since 1987, we use the dynamic rod Rolling Rod, which enables a dynamic axial compression in the fracture. This compression is achieved by the exellent sliding ability even in the oblique fitting required in fixateur-fitting in the vicinity of the corticalis. In comparing two similar groups of patients with the same type of fracture and nearly same duration of fixateur proved, that the group of patients treated with the Rolling Rod arrived as the required bone firmness for full weight-bearing one month earlier. By considering these healing results in connection with the elastic fractur fixation one should scrutinize again the rigid osteosynthesis.
