Abstract
The nail-osteosynthesis is an established concept for shaft-fractures of long bones. The compression-nail ICN enables a favourable primary-stability and also a former full weight-bearing over a pre-compression of the nail-bone-system. The indications of the compression-nail include beside more diaphyseal cross fractures and short oblique fractures non-unions and correction-osteotomies. Newer modular nail-types like the tandem compression nail (TCN) can improve the biomechanical prerequisites of the compression nail principle.
