Osteosynthesis operation Thomas (Journ. of the Americ. Med. Assoc., vol. 80, № 5, p. 309—315, 1923)
The osteosynthesis operation for nonunited fractures of long tubular bones requires, according to the majority of modern surgeons, preliminary refreshing and freeing of the ends of the bone fracture from scar tissue. Thomas (Journ. Of the American. Med. Assoc., Vol. 80, no. 5, pp. 309-315, 1923) considers, however, this point of view erroneous and recommends adhering to the following rule. In the event that a nonunited fracture occurs after an open infected wound, it is necessary to wait one year with the osteosynthesis operation in order to more accurately exclude the possibility of reviving the old infection.
