Distal tibia fractures: locked or non-locked plating?
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Although plating is considered to be the treatment of choice in distal tibia fractures, controversies abound regarding the type of plating for optimal fixation. We conducted a systematic review to evaluate and compare the outcomes of locked plating and non-locked plating in treatment of distal tibia fractures. PATIENTS AND METHODS A systematic review was conducted using...
متن کاملTreatment of large diaphyseal bone defect of the tibia by the "fibula pro tibia" technique: application in developing countries.
Large segmental bone defects of the tibia may be due to infections, high-energy fractures, congenital diseases or tumors and represent a challenge for both the physician and the patient. In developing countries, the use of expansive techniques is not possible so that amputation is sometimes proposed. However, an alternative technique for limb salvage, applicable in developing countries consists...

متن کاملTibial hemimelia with separate soft-tissue cover of the tibia and fibula.
We report a variant of tibial hemimelia in a six-year-old boy that did not comply with recognised classification systems. The femur and knee were normal, but the fibula was displaced proximally and there was severe diastasis of the proximal and distal tibiofibular joints to the extent that a grossly deformed foot articulated with the fibula and there was separate soft-tissue cover for the dista...
