[Distal tibia peri-implant fracture with an intramedullary nail: a case report].
نویسندگان
چکیده
Peri-implant fractures of the distal tibia after intramedullary nailing are rare. We present a case of a fracture of the distal tibia at the site of the distal interlocking screw. We found two cases reported in the world literature. There are no cases reported in the Spanish literature.

Peri-Implant Fractures Distal to an Antegrade Femoral Nail: A Case Series
Peri-implant fractures distal to an antegrade femoral nail are uncommon injuries, with no current consensus on the best treatment modality. We are presenting three cases of periimplant fractures distal to an antegrade femoral nail. All patients sustained an initial traumatic injury, which was managed with an antegrade femoral nail fixation. They subsequently suffer a second injury which causes ...
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 کاملDistal third tibia fractures treated with interlocking intramedullary nail
The management of extraarticular fracture of the distal tibia remains controversial. Surgeons are not very keen on using intramedullary interlocking nail for these fractures because of diffi cult nail fi xation, wider medullary canal in the distal tibia and late angulation .The advent of newer nails with locking holes in the distal parts has made nailing possible even in cases of distal tibia f...
متن کاملThe effect of concurrent fibular fracture on the fixation of distal tibia fractures: a laboratory comparison of intramedullary nails with locked plates.
OBJECTIVE To compare the fixation stability of intramedullary nails to that of locked plates for the treatment of distal metaphyseal tibia and fibula fractures. METHODS A simulated, distal metaphyseal tibia fracture was created in 8 pairs of cadaveric tibia-fibula specimens. One of each pair was treated using an intramedullary nail (Trigen IM Nail System; SN Richards, Memphis, TN) and the oth...
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...
