title: [In vivo assessment of bone union by means of monitoring bone healing].
abstract: Basing on personal clinical experiences and available literature I assumed that the more advanced bone union is, the less important the role of stabilizing instruments in load transfer. At the same time the importance of bone consolidation increases. Material consisted of 46 operated patients, who had been treated with an external Zespol fixator. To assess load inversion a special measuring instrument was constructed. It was found that both the type of osteosynthesis and kind of fracture influenced the load inversion process. Neutralizing stabilization (group C) gave the shortest bone union time i.e. 22.6 weeks Average bone union time in contact stabilization was 34.4 and 30.1 weeks, depending on fracture type.
