چکیده
Patients and Methods: From April 2009 to January 2014, we treated 91 patients with high-energy fractures of the tibial shaft at Orthopedic Department of AlRamadi Teaching Hospital. Twenty patients were suitable for our study that had closed segmental fractures of tibial shaft (42-C2 / AO classification), treated by minimal, internal and external, fixations with follow up range from 6 months to 1 year.

Outcomes 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 کاملConservative management or closed nailing for tibial shaft fractures. A randomised prospective trial.
We performed a prospective randomised trial on matched groups of patients with displaced tibial shaft fractures to compare conservative treatment with closed intramedullary nailing. The results showed conclusively that intramedullary nailing gave more rapid union with less malunion and shortening. Nailed patients had less time off work with a more predictable and rapid return to full function. ...
متن کاملOperative Management of Fractures Shaft Tibia with Closed Intramedullary Interlocking Nail
Tibial diaphyseal fractures are one of the commonest long bone fractures encountered by most of the orthopaedic surgeons. There are many methods of treatment for tibial diaphyseal fractures. But now-a-days closed intramedullary interlocking nailing is emerging as treatment of choice for all closed tibial diaphyseal fractures, most of type Iand type II open fractures in adults. Closed IM IL nail...
