title: [Analysis of 55 post-traumatic pseudarthroses after tibial fracture].
abstract: In a retrospective analysis of 1,300 lower leg fractures, treated by operative stabilization in the years from 1980 to 1992, we examined disturbances of bone healing. In 55 patients (4.2%) faults in indication and completion of internal or external stabilization, infections with consecutive instability (43.6%), and bone defects (63.6%) led to prevention of bone healing. Conservation of blood supply and medial cortical support should be ensured.
