[Management of tibial fractures with Ender nailing].

Authors have performed in 1984-1986 46 Ender nailings based on definite indications as treatment of lower leg fractures in the Department of Traumatology, Arpád Hospital, Ujpest. In their clinical study they stress the criteria of the choice of this method, underline the advantages and disadvantages of the stabilization with elastic nails. This treatment used especially for fractures of the distal third lightens the care, the mobilization, shortens the stay in the hospital, diminishes the number of the septic complications. In many cases authors recommend it as a good alternative method, based on own experiences and results, to surgeons forced to accept a compromise.
