Delayed osteosynthesis of diaphyseal femoral fractures in adults.

There is a great advantage to practise the internal fixation of femoral shaft fractures of adults by AO plate two weeks after the traumatism. This delay allows the formation of a physiological callus which protects the osteosynthesis and is a sure sign of the bone union. At the price of a longer hospitalisation of the patient, this delayed osteosynthesis leads to a quick consolidation of an exactly reduced bone. The functional readaptation is rapid and complete. This method joins the advantages of concervative and surgical treatment without their usual complications.
