This report concerned to the primary fracture healing after K-U Compression plate fixation. We have had 270 clinical cases of fracture and treated with K-U compression plate.
X-ray examinations showed that the majority of the cases were healed without accompaning the callus formation.
Experimental studies of the above method were done using rabbits. Studies of X-ray, CMR, histology, microangiography, and tetracycline labelling were done every week after K-U compression plate fixation.
Bony union was better on the case of intact periosteum than the injured one.
