The authors observed rapid, practical, effective, and excellent tolerance in the use of the Orthofix dynamic axial fixator in the treatment of leg fractures. Good, stable reduction performed in an emergency situation, with respect for tissues that had been exposed to trauma, with fragments in compression when possible, and correct postsurgical management using early dynamization, are the goals to be attained for the physiological development of the bone callus.

- Between November 1992 and July 1999, 27 fractures were treated in elderly patients using Marchetti-Vicenzi bundle nail internal fixation, with notable cases including 15 tibias, 8 femurs, and 5 humeri.
- The study found that reaming of the medullary canal was not used for any of the fractures treated, but was employed for one case of non-union.
- Results indicated that flexible intramedullary nailing offers sufficient stability, promotes earlier weight-bearing, enhances bone healing, and supports functional recovery, along with a quicker surgical process thanks to automatic distal locking.
