title: [Statistical evaluation of 4,141 osteosyntheses with autocompression plates].
abstract: Statistical display of the cases of our hospital who underwent osteosynthesis with autocompression plate between 1968 and 1986. Based on the unselected evaluation of our surgical reports and computer monitoring an analysis of the total of 4.141 ACP-osteosynthesis is given according to the various origin types of surgical procedures, age and sex distribution and chiefly complications of the operative revisions. The total of revised complications was 4.18%, among that the rate of infections was 1.37%, of pseudarthroses 0.92%, breaking out of plates 2.2 per thousand and of material fractures 1.9 per thousand. From these data a high security of the osteosynthesis by autocompression plates concluded.
