چکیده
In the last 10 years, traumatologists have become more aware of the importance of blood supply to fracture fragments for both the healing of fractures and prevention of infection. Due to our experience with fractures having severely disrupted periosteal blood supply, we are looking more critically at intramedullary reamed nailing as a treatment option. This research was a result of our increased knowledge of the interplay between periosteal and endosteal blood supply.

Open tibial shaft fractures. Treatment with intramedullary nailing after provisional stabilization with non penetrating external fixator
Objective: To evaluate the incidence of union, nonunion, deep infection and factors influencing the time of bone healing in the treatment of open tibial shaft fractures Gustilo and Anderson types I and II initially treated with a non penetrating external fixator (Pinless®) followed by an unreamed intramedullary locked nail (UTN®). Methods: It is a prospective study of 39 open tibial shaft fract...
متن کاملThe use of combined 3.5 LCP unicortical plate and nail fixation in proximal tibia fractures and prevention of valgus and anterior angulation
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...
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 کاملDetermination 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...
متن کاملComparative Study of Treatment in Open Tibia Fracture Treated with Jugdesh- Awais Solid Tibial Nail (JA-STN) and AO External Fixator
Introduction: The tibia is most commonly fractured long bone in the body, as it has poor soft tissue coverage, medial surface is completely subcutaneous. The optimum method for skeletal stabilization of open fractures of the tibial shaft remains controversial. In recent years, unreamed intramedullary nailing has become an increasing attractive treatment method for tibial fractures. Due to high ...
