Abstract

In present paper we considered a broken femur with an intramedullary nailing TGN. We were interested locally for three particular points of fracture area of bone. We based upon theory of adaptive elasticity (accounting and neglecting temperature) and upon energy density theory and showed that after a long time femur at points of our interest: i) will be (quickly or normally or delayed) united or ii) will be not united. Our results are verified by clinical studies. Thus we concluded that temperature does not effects the growth of microcracks.
