Determination of the Best Method of Tibial Nail Length Estimation in Patients with Tibia Fracture

Background & Aims: Tibia fractures are the most common long bone fracture. Due to minimal soft tissue and its blood supply, inadequate treatment of injuries could be a major cause of morbidity and disability. The intramedullary nail is the preferred method of treatment; however, despite all previous studies, no accurate method to measure nail length prior to surgery exists as yet. Due to the im...

Femoral deformity in tibia vara.

BACKGROUND Previous studies have suggested that compensatory valgus deformity of the femur is common in patients with tibia vara, or Blount disease. The availability and routine use of standing long-cassette radiographs of the lower extremities to assess angular deformities has allowed quantitative evaluation of this hypothesis. METHODS The cases of all patients with tibia vara, two years of ...

Observations on the Etiology of Tibia Vara
