In two earlier papers (6, 7) the author has reported experimental tests of the rigidity obtained with various techniques of osteosynthesis for fracture of the femoral shafts; these included the use of one or 2 Sherman plates.In the present study a more thorough comparison is made of the rigidity of immobilization obtained with various plates that are commercially available.The general principles for immobilization of fractures by this technique are also examined and discussed.
