[Stress fractures of the femur and tibia 8 years after corrective osteotomy with a plate].

Stress fractures of the low extremities 8 years after correcting osteotomy with plate fixation are described and critically valued in 2 cases. As both legs were operated bilaterally, technical faults could be demonstrated in comparison. The alternative treatment with the dynamic system of osteosyntheses by interlocking nailing is the solution of the biological and biomechanical problems and leeds to a physiological bone consolidation.
