RESUMO
The effectiveneas of compression plate fixation in promoting fracture healing could be due to a specific stimulus of compression on bone formation or to enhanced immobilization. ASI type heavy plate fixation for fracture of the femoral shaft was examined on occasions in three patient in the period 1971–1973. We believe that the major effect of the compression as applied through a compression plate is that of enhanced stabilization.
