    AbstractThe aim of surgical therapy of a fracture is the restoration of the original integrity of the limb. X-rays are the only means by which the surgeon can observe fracture healing over time. This includes direct bone healing without major radiological changes and indirect bone healing which shows callus formation. The two requirements needed for rapid bone remodelling and early mobilization after operation are an exact repositioning of the fracture fragments, if possible, and the maintenance of soft tissue and joints. Postoperative findings, complications and aftertreatment are discussed. X-ray series are presented, and the differences in fracture healing are shown.
