Delayed union stress fractures of the anterior tibia: conservative management.
INTRODUCTION A conservative method of treating four delayed union stress fractures of the anterior mid-tibia is described, with an illustrative case history. METHODS Once diagnosed each of the patients was treated in a pneumatic lower leg brace with modified rest. The mean (range) age of the patients was 28 (24-32) years and all were involved in professional or amateur sports. The mean (range...
متن کاملSegmental Tibia Fractures
Fractures of the tibia account for approximately 17-21% of all lower extremity fractures and approximately 2% of all combined fractures [1,2]. Within this number, 3% to 13% of tibia fractures are classified as segmental with most literature on this injury consisting of case series or retrospective reviews [3,4]. Segmental fractures of the tibia present a challenge to treating orthopedic surgeon...
متن کاملPartial proximal tibia fractures
Partial tibial plateau fractures may occur as a consequence of either valgus or varus trauma combined with a rotational and axial compression component.High-energy trauma may result in a more complex and multi-fragmented fracture pattern, which occurs predominantly in young people. Conversely, a low-energy mechanism may lead to a pure depression fracture in the older population with weaker bone...
متن کاملAmputation in Fractures of the Tibia.
Fractures of the shaft of the tibia in adults are notoriously difficult to treat and are sometimes dangerous. Poor function, non-union, skin loss and infection are the great hazards, and an awkward dilemma is posed by the fact that the treatment least likely to give one of these bad results is often the most likely to give another. Amputation, both primary and secondary, should be included amon...
متن کاملGravity Reduction View: A Radiographic Technique for the Evaluation and Management of Weber B Fibula Fractures
Background: While various radiographic parameters and application of manual/gravity stress have been proposed to elucidate instability for Weber B fibula fractures, the prognostic capability of these modalities remains unclear. Determination of anatomic positioning of the mortise is paramount. We propose a novel view, the Gravity Reduction View (GRV), which helps elucidate non-anatomic position...
