title: [Bone morphology following plate osteosynthesis as measured by axial tomography].
abstract: Previous examinations using computed tomography have shown that no geometrical changes in the cross-section was induced by the plate fixation; bone density was slightly reduced (10% in average) in the entire cross-section and not only next to the plate. A tomographic analysis is presented here about the quality and the amount of bone in the affected leg, compared to the contralateral one.
