[Osteosynthesis with the titanium limited contact DCP-plate].

During the period from the beginning of 1988 until July 1991 all LC-DCP plate osteosynthesis at the hospital of Davos have been documented in a prospective multicenter study and were followed up after a meantime of 17.6 months. The clinical results of the 57 implantations at the hospital of Davos were excellent as the results of the overall study. 98% of all reexaminated patients (follow up rate 81%) had an uneventful clinical course. The results demonstrate the good biological tolerance of the new plate and underline, that in combination with a careful soft tissue handling excellent clinical outcomes can be reached with this plate osteosynthesis.
