Intramedullary fixation of proximal tibial fractures
is challenging owing to the relatively high chance of displacement during nail insertion. The stability of the proximal fixation is inferior because of the wider diameter of the intramedullary canal in the metaphysis. This has led to the use of Poller screws for additional blocking during intramedullary fixation of proximal or distal tibial fractures.1 The effects of Poller screw is two-fold. F...
متن کاملTibial rotational osteotomy with intramedullary nail fixation
There are several theoretic advantages of using intramedullary rod fixation for tibial osteotomy fixation. We performed a retrospective review of patients who were treated with a mid-diaphyseal osteotomy of the tibia fixed with an intramedullary rod for isolated, symptomatic tibial torsion. Forty patients (59 tibias) were included in the study and were followed for a minimum of 12 months or unt...
متن کاملExpandable intramedullary nails for fixation of tibial shaft fractures.
Interlocking intramedullary nailing is currently the preferred treatment for most tibial fractures requiring operative treatment, with good results and a relatively low complication rate as reported in large clinical series. However, vascular and neurological complications caused by interlocking screws have been reported. In addition, insertion of distal interlocking screws can be technically d...
متن کاملOpen reduction and intramedullary nail fixation of closed tibial fractures.
Some tibial shaft fractures cannot be accurately reduced using closed or percutaneous techniques during an intramedullary nailing procedure. Under these circumstances, a formal open reduction can be performed. Direct exposure of the fracture facilitates accurate reduction but does violate the soft tissue envelope. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of open reducti...
متن کاملTibial intramedullary canal axis and its influence on the intramedullary alignment system entry point in Koreans
Using computerized tomographic data and three dimensional model, we studied the influence of tibial intramedullary canal axis and other morphologic factors of the tibia on the entry point for tibial intramedullary alignment guides. Various anatomical parameters including tibial anteroposterior dimensions (AP), mediolateral dimensions (ML), aspect ratio (ML/AP), bowing and the intramedullary can...
