Two-level Fractures of the Tibia

چکیده
In the last fifteen years the indications for osteosynthesis in the treatment oftibial fractures have increased considerably. As early as 1958 Merle d’Aubign#{233} and Franc insisted on the value of osteosynthesis in compound fractures. Since 1960 blind intramedullary nailing has been mainly adopted in the treatment of closed fractures (Zucman and Maurer 1965) and almost exclusively in the treatment of compound fractures at the Clinique Orthop#{233}dique of the H#{244}pitalCochin, under the direction of Professor R. Merle d’Aubign#{233}. Boutin (1956) pointed out the bad prognosis of two-level fractures of the tibia. In this article we present the results of blind intramedullary nailing in thirty-six recent two-level fractures.

Union Following Biological and Rigid Fixations of Distal Tibia Extra-articular Fractures
Background: Distal tibia fractures are among the most common bony injuries, with a significant rate of nonunion anddelayed union. There are multiple methods for the management of distal tibia fractures. Among the plating methods,there are bridge plating and compression plating techniques. There is still a lack of evidence about whether one methodhas a higher rate of union than...

Introduction: Intramedullary nailing (IMN) of high tibia fracture has some mechanical and biological advantages over the other form of fixation. However, valgus, apex anterior malalignment and anterior displacement of proximal fragment commonly occur after isolated IMN fixation of proximal high tibia fracture. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of using 3.5-mm locking c...

Abstract Background: The tibial diaphyseal fractures are the most common type of long bone fractures encountered by most orthopedic surgeons. In accordance with descriptive indices of tibia fractures on the basis of their location in the bone, distal tibia fractures have the second incidence of all tibia fractures after the middle tibia fractures. The purpose of the study was to asses...
متن کاملOutcome of Distal Both Bone Leg Fractures Fixed by Intramedulary Nail for Fibula & MIPPO in Tibia
Background: Fractures of the distal third of the tibia are mostly associated with a fibular fracture that often requires fixation. The preferred treatment of distal tibial fracture is the minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO) procedure. However, there are no clear cut guidelines on fixation of the fibular fracture and currently most orthopedic surgeons use a plate osteo...
متن کاملThe effect of a single dose oral pregabalin on hemodynamic changes and duration of analgesia after spinal anesthesia in orthopedic surgeries of tibial fractures
Treatment of acute pain and hemodynamic changes after surgery is extremely important. Various drugs for pain relief after surgery have been studied. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a single dose of oral pregabalin on hemodynamic changes and duration of analgesia after spinal anesthesia in orthopedic surgeries of tibia fractures. This clinical trial was carried out on 120 pat...
