The wider application of Ender's nailing in fractures of the femur--a study of 60 cases.
Having had wide experience in the use of Ender's nails in 387 fractures of the femur based on the traditional indications, the authors decided to extend its use to more atypical and complex cases. They report their experience in 60 such cases, which again confirmed the extremely favourable conditions of fixation and biomechanical advantages of this flexible osteosynthesis.
