Segment 1 The ends of the bone are exposed. The next stage is rotation and removal of longitudinal displacement, followed by impaction of the end of the bone after one end has been shaped to a point and the other has been drilled out. Finally, the wound is closed by knots tied mechanically with a Fecher-needle. Time start: 00:00:00:00 Time end: 00:03:19:12 Length: 00:03:19:12
