Open tibial shaft fractures. Treatment with intramedullary nailing after provisional stabilization with non penetrating external fixator
Objective: To evaluate the incidence of union, nonunion, deep infection and factors influencing the time of bone healing in the treatment of open tibial shaft fractures Gustilo and Anderson types I and II initially treated with a non penetrating external fixator (Pinless®) followed by an unreamed intramedullary locked nail (UTN®). Methods: It is a prospective study of 39 open tibial shaft fract...
متن کاملThe Role of Biplanar Distal Locking in Intramedullary Nailing of Tibial Shaft Fractures
Background: To compare the union times of the uncomplicated tibial shaft fractures, which were distally locked by twocoronal and one sagittal screws and by only two coronal screws.Methods: 45 patients with tibial shaft treated with intramedullary nailing included in this study. 23 of 45 fractureswere treated with uniplanar two distal interlocking (Group 1) and 22 fractures were treated with bip...
متن کاملLocked intramedullary nailing of open tibial fractures.
We report the use of Grosse-Kempf reamed intramedullary nailing in the treatment of 41 Gustilo type II and III open tibial fractures. The union times and infection rates were similar to those previously reported for similar fractures treated by external skeletal fixation, but the incidence of malunion was less and fewer required bone grafting. The role of exchange nailing is discussed and a tre...
متن کاملIntramedullary nailing of femoral and tibial shaft fractures
secondary infection.5 Neurologic problems such as paralysis slow ambulation, an aid to healing. Psychiatric diseases may result in decreased patient compliance.6 Social factors also affect outcome. Use of tobacco slows fracture healing.7,8 Addictions to alcohol and street drugs impair patient compliance and increase the risk of complications. Poor family support also may limit patient complianc...
متن کاملIntramedullary nailing for tibial shaft fractures in adults.
BACKGROUND Intramedullary nailing is commonly used for treating fractures of the tibial shaft. These fractures are one of the most common long bone fractures in adults. OBJECTIVES To assess the effects (benefits and harms) of different methods and types of intramedullary nailing for treating tibial shaft fractures in adults. SEARCH METHODS We searched the Cochrane Bone, Joint and Muscle Tra...
