Long-term outcome after tibial shaft fracture: is malunion important?

BACKGROUND Fractures of the shaft of the tibia often heal with some angulation. Although there is biomechanical evidence that such angulation alters load transmission through the joints of the lower limb, it is not clear whether it can eventually lead to osteoarthritis. METHODS One hundred and sixty-four individuals who had sustained a tibial shaft fracture were assessed in a research clinic ...

Secondary nailing after external fixation for tibial shaft fracture: risk factors for union and infection. A 55 case series.

INTRODUCTION Secondary intramedullary nailing (SIN) following external fixation (EF) of tibial shaft fracture is controversial, notably due to the infection risk, which is not precisely known. The present study therefore analysed a continuous series of tibial shaft SIN, to determine (1) infection and union rates, and (2) whether 1-stage SIN associated to EF ablation increased the risk of infect...

Fracture union in percutaneous Kirschner wire fixation in paediatric tibial shaft fractures

PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy of intramedullary Kirschner wires for the treatment of unstable tibial shaft fractures in children. METHODS This prospective study was conducted at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery in Maharishi Markandeshwar Medical College from June 2005 to June 2010. Sixty-six children having closed fracture of the tibial shaft with a mean age of 7.7 years (range, 2-14 ...

Ipsilateral tibial shaft fracture and distal tibial triplane fracture with an intact fibula: a case report.

We present a case of an ipsilateral tibial shaft fracture and a distal tibial triplane fracture with an intact fibula in a 14-year-old boy. Computed tomography revealed the distal tibial triplane fracture with a 2.6-mm displaced Tillaux fragment and a posterior malleolar shear fragment. Open reduction and internal fixation was performed to optimise healing and outcome. This is a rare injury, fo...

Treatment of delayed union or non-union of the tibial shaft with partial fibulectomy and an Ilizarov frame.

We reviewed 28 patients treated with partial fibulectomy combined with an Ilizarov compression frame for a non-infected tibial delayed union or non-union. Patient data, time to referral, type of fracture (open or closed), type of non-union (atrophic or hypertrophic) and period of treatment were recorded. Neither time to referral, type of fracture or type of non-union did adversely affect the du...
