| Popis: | We present a simple compression technique for treatment of difficult nonunions and joint fusions in the hand. This technique utilizes only K-wires and small vessel loops. The results of 44 consecutive cases were studied retrospectively. Union was achieved in 37/44 cases. The average time to union was 7 weeks and our results were comparable to those of other studies. We found this technique useful, especially in complicated cases. |
