Safe surgical technique: intramedullary nail fixation of tibial shaft fractures
Statically locked, reamed intramedullary nailing remains the standard treatment for displaced tibial shaft fractures. Establishing an appropriate starting point is a crucial part of the surgical procedure. Recently, suprapatellar nailing in the semi-extended position has been suggested as a safe and effective surgical technique. Numerous reduction techiques are available to achieve an anatomic ...

متن کاملOutcome of Tibial Shaft Fractures Treated by Close Intramedullary Nail
Tibia is the most commonly fractured long bone in the body with an annual incidence of tibial shaft fractures 2 per 1000 individuals. The use of non-operative treatment of tibial fractures that are widely displaced or that are the result of high-energy forces is associated with a high prevalence of malunion, stiffness of the joint, and poor functional outcome. Closed Tibial diaphyseal fractures...
متن کاملOutcomes of the isolated closed tibial shaft fractures treated nonsurgically
Abstract Background: Fractures of the tibia are important for their commonness and controversy in their management. Both conservative and surgical techniques have been introduced in an effort to speed time to :::union::: while minimizing the occurrence of complications. Standard treatment for low-energy tibial shaft fractures includes closed reduction and cast immobilization. The purpose of...
متن کاملTibial Shaft Fractures.
The long-bone fractures occur most frequently in the tibial shaft. Adequate treatment of such fractures avoids consolidation failure, skewed consolidation and reoperation. To classify these fractures, the AO/OTA classification method is still used, but it is worthwhile getting to know the Ellis classification method, which also includes assessment of soft-tissue injuries. There is often an asso...
