[Gerhard Küntscher and intramedullary fixation].
Gerhard Küntscher, a German surgeon, was born in Zwickau in 1900. He graduated from the School of Medicine in Jena in 1926. He is renowned for the development of intramedullary fixation as a solution for fixation of fractures in the long bones. He worked in the Freiburg and Hamburg hospitals, but gained most experience during the Second World War, when

[Blocking intramedullary osteosynthesis with fixators].
Closed interlocking nailing is the most advanced development of Küntscher nailing. The method is indicated mainly for comminuted diaphyseal fractures of the femur and tibia. Locking nailing has biological and biomechanical advantages in comparison with plate osteosynthesis. Unreamed technique of nailing is indicated even in polytrauma patients and open
