BLADE-PLATE INTERNAL FIXATION FOR HIGH FEMORAL OSTEOTUMIES

W. P. Blount M.D.1

1 MILWAUKEE WISCONSIN

1. A blade-plate is used for the internal fixation of high femoral osteotomies as well as fractures.

2. The cast is eliminated.

3. The patient may walk with crutches in less than two weeks.

4. Internal fixation with this device permits accurate maintenance of any desired angulation.

5. Untoward angulation is prevented.

6. Rotation is accurately controlled.

7. Blade-plate fixation has been used successfully in trochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures, and in osteotomy for ununited fracture of the femoral neck, congenital dislocation of the hip, shortening of the femur, coxa vara, coxa plana, and (combined with a second osteotomy) for correction of vicious ankylosis.
