چکیده
Background: Open tibial fractures account for over 40% of all open and are frequently accompanied by significant damage to soft tissues, including skin, muscle, neurovascular structures . This article presents a intramedullary(TENS)- external fixator technique. The purpose this study is TO EVALUATE THE OUTCOME OF ELASTIC NAILING ALONG WITH EXTERNAL FIXATOR IN OPEN TIBIA FRACTURES Materials Methods: Following ethical approval, thirty patients with were treated the EF-TENs system between NOVEMBER 2019 SEPTEMBER 2021. follow-up studies included clinical radiographic examinations. All relevant outcomes recorded during follow-up. Results: 30 assessed follow-ups. According Anderson-Gustilo classification, there 19 Type Grade II, 6 IIIA 5 IIIB. achieved united at last, but delayed union was observed in 5/30 patients. average time 23.83+_4.47 weeks (range, 18–32 weeks). main complication mentioned pin track infection, which occupied 6/30 cases. Johner–Wruhscriteriaof shaft fractures, had excellent, good, fair 1 poor results. Conclusion: indicated that outcome elastic nailing along , as definitive intra- extramedullary fixation technique, effective treatment fractures.
