Open fracture of tibia mid-shaft associated with the contralateral leg acute compartment syndrome without fracture

Mini-open reduction and intramedullary interlocking nailing of fracture shaft of tibia without an image intensifier.

Intramedullary interlocking tibial nailing is usually performed using an image intensifier. But being expensive, it is not available in the most of the hospitals of resource-poor countries of the world. The purpose of this study is to analyze the results of interlocking nailing without the use of an image intensifier. This is the retrospective study of 55 diaphyseal tibial fractures treated wit...

Medullary nailing for fracture of the shaft of the tibia.

The risks of operating on fractures-sepsis and delayed union-are nowhere greater than in the tibia because this bone is covered only by a thin layer of skin and subcutaneous tissue in a region of poor vascular reserve. Medullary nailing allows internal splinting without exposure of the fracture; it confers the benefits of accurate reconstruction, absolute immobilisation and unrestricted movemen...

Thoracic penetration following mid-shaft clavicular fracture.

We describe a patient who sustained a widely displaced, high-energy, mid-shaft clavicular fracture in association with brachial plexus damage. The distal fragment was subsequently found to have penetrated the thoracic cavity. We describe the treatment of this rare injury with a successful outcome.

Triplane Ankle Fracture with Concomitant Ipsilateral Shaft of Tibia Fracture: Case Report and Review of Literature

INTRODUCTION Triplane fracture is a rare adolescent ankle injury. Its association with ipsilateral tibial shaft fracture is very rarely reported in the literature. CASE REPORT This is a case of a 14-year-old male who sustained a twisting injury to his right leg after a fall from a height. He sustained a minimally displaced spiral fracture of the mid-shaft of his right tibia with a concomitant...
