The 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 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...
متن کاملLocked intramedullary nailing for displaced tibial shaft fractures.
We analysed the results of 93 tibial shaft fractures treated with the Grosse-Kempf locked nail. Twenty-six fractures were comminuted, 19 were open grade I to II, and 54 were located outside the middle third of the tibia. The deep infection rate was 3.2%. There were only two poor results. The use of this method is recommended and discussed.

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...
