The treatment of fractures and nonunions with dynamic axial fixator (DAF)

Abstract

In this study, the results of 41 humerus, tibia, femur and radius fractures and delayed uninns and nonunions diagnosed in patients of Istanbul Hospital and treated with the dynamic axial fixator (DAF) were reviewed. There were 28 male and 11 female patients with the average age of 31 years. Fractures were closed in ten of the cases; of 12 cases, 8 patients had hypertrophic and 4 athrophic nonunions. Patients were surveyed for 25 months in avarage (18-32 months). Operation time was assessed to be betwwen 25-45 minutes. In nonunions the date of experienced trauma was 8 to 48 months. AIl of the cases were operated under general anesthesia with scopy control, on a fracture table. The axial fixator was dynamised for an averge of 5 to 7 weeks. In 20 of the 194 pins we used, pin-tract infection was encountered which was Iater treated. For all patients, the overall results were good. it can be concluded that DAF is a safe, easy, useful and effective method in managing both fresh and old fractures which are either open or closed fractures.
