ABSTRACT
Objective To report the preliminary results of treatment of fracture nonunion at the distal femur and the proximal tibia with Less Invasive Stabilization System (LISS). Methods From February 2003 to August 2004, LISS fixation and bone grafting were employed to treat 5 cases of fracture nonunion at the distal femur and 4 cases of fracture nonunion at the proximal tibia. The nonunion had resulted from failure of internal fixation in 7 cases, failure of external fixation in 1 and infection in 1. The history of nonunion lasted from 10 to 111 months (mean 29m). Results All the 9 patients were followed up for an average of 8 (6 to 16) months only to reveal solid bone union in all the fractures, with a mean healing time of 4.7 months (ranging from 4 to 6 months). No loosening or breakage of the implants occurred in this series. Conclusion Due to its advanced design, LISS can be used to treat effectively fracture nonunion at the distal femur and the proximal tibia.
