Described is a method of inserting a solid rod implant into the body. The implant is designed for bridging two portions of a broken long bone, united or ununited, and maintaining the divided portions of the bone in stable alignment with each other.The solid rod implant is designed to be rigidly attached to the damaged long bone by means of a pair of partly tubular plates at either end of the rod. These plates provide the sole means of attachment of the implant to the bone i.e there is no provision for any attachments along, beside or through any portion of the rod that would allow it to be apposed to, or attached to any portion of the bone for which it is providing support for osteosynthesis. By its design and method of rigid attachment to the bone, through partly tubular end plates, the implant allows controlled motion at the fractured or non united portions of the bone fragments, a motion which stimulates rapidly forming external bridging callus formation for osteosynthesis of the long bone, a process that shortens the time of osteosynthesis of long bones so treated.
