Distal third tibia fractures treated with interlocking intramedullary nail
The management of extraarticular fracture of the distal tibia remains controversial. Surgeons are not very keen on using intramedullary interlocking nail for these fractures because of diffi cult nail fi xation, wider medullary canal in the distal tibia and late angulation .The advent of newer nails with locking holes in the distal parts has made nailing possible even in cases of distal tibia f...
متن کاملExternal fixation versus ORIF for distal intra-articular tibia fractures.
Tibia plafond fractures have historically demonstrated high complication rates. The purpose of this study was to assess the outcomes of tibia plafond fractures following treatment with definitive external fixation vs delayed open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). Sixty patients were enrolled in a prospective cohort trial at 1 Level I trauma center. No differences were noted between the 2 ...
متن کاملSpiral and oblique fractures of distal one-third of tibia-fibula: treatment results with circular external fixator.
INTRODUCTION Spiral and oblique fractures of distal 1/3 of tibia-fibula are relatively common fractures of long bones. Due to their types, aetiology, limited coverage and blood supply, these fractures often lead to union and soft tissue problems. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-seven patients with spiral and oblique fractures of distal 1/3 of tibia-fibula were treated with circular external fixa...
متن کاملDynastab S: A new concept for high energy fractures of the distal tibia.
Background. High energy fractures of the distal tibia ("pylon fractures") usually result in severe reduction of the range of motion of the superior ankle joint. If there is severe soft tissue trauma coexisting with the fractures, the possibilities for surgical treatment are limited. Our study examined the suitability of the DYNASTAB S external fixator (for ankle joint stabilization). Material a...
متن کاملInternal fixators: a safe option for managing distal femur fractures?
OBJECTIVE Evaluate safety and reliability of internal fixator for the treatment of intra-articular and periarticular distal femur fractures. METHODS Retrospective data evaluation of 28 patients with 29 fractures fixed with internal fixator was performed. There was a predominance of male patients (53.5%), with 52% of open wound fractures, 76% of AO33C type fractures, and a mean follow up of 21...
