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 کاملIntra-articular fractures of the distal tibia
In a study of 23 intra-articular fractures of the distal tibia of which 18 were re-examined after an average follow-up period of 5.4 years, two major fracture patterns were identified: type A, a rotational pattern, caused by low energy trauma and type B, a compressive fracture pattern caused by high energy trauma. Type B fractures could be divided into three subgroups: 1) An isolated fracture o...
متن کاملUnion Following Biological and Rigid Fixations of Distal Tibia Extra-articular Fractures
Background: Distal tibia fractures are among the most common bony injuries, with a significant rate of nonunion anddelayed union. There are multiple methods for the management of distal tibia fractures. Among the plating methods,there are bridge plating and compression plating techniques. There is still a lack of evidence about whether one methodhas a higher rate of union than...
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 کاملIntra-articular distal humerus fractures.
Distal humeral fractures are relatively rare and complex injuries. With appropriate preoperative planning and execution of surgical technique, good outcomes may be obtained in most patients. Patients should be counseled regarding loss of motion in these injuries, and elderly, osteoporotic patients with extensive comminution should be considered for total elbow arthroplasty as an alternative to ...
