Abstract

Several researchers [1, 2, 3, 4] were concerned with the long human bones investigation issue. For micro movements of the fractures of long human bones, by means of Holographic Interferometry, the authors conceived and realized the stands described in [6, 8, 10]. In order to compare the efficiency of different kinds of fixations, the authors conceived an original electrotensometrical stand described in [9, 11], which evaluates the relatively large displacements (0.5…4 mm) of the fractured long bone parts. The original “8” shaped wire loop fixation, used by Dr. Samota ’s Team for unstable fractures, proved its efficiency in clinical practice, too [5, 7].
