Abstract
Experimental fractures in rabbits demonstrated that flexible intramedullary rod fixation of the midshaft long bone fracture enhances the fracture healing and may promote early mobility. When compared to rigid fixation, both excess flexibility and excess rigidity inhibited optimal fracture healing. The occurrence of angulation deformities with plastic rods also demonstrate the disadvantage of a very flexible rod.
