RESULTS: According to the Kang's criteria, the clinical results were excellent in 18 cases (78.3%), good in 4 cases (17.4%) and fair in 1 case. Radiologically, all cases showed bone union and the average time was 7.9 weeks. Complications such as infection, nonunion, metal failure has not been observed.
