چکیده

Results: There were 124 men and 25 women with a mean age of 35 (16 to 72) years. Fractures were caused in the majority of cases (130 cases, 87.2%) by traffic accidents. Fractures were classified according to Cauchoix system into 96 grade I, 55 grade II, and 3 grade III. The duration of follow-up averaged nine (3 to 25) months. Infections (softtissue and bone) were encountered in 30 (19.5%) fractures. 113 fractures (86.25%) were primarily united with an average of 4.7 (two to six) months. Bone union was delayed for seven (5.3%) fractures. Eleven (8.45%) fractures developed nonunion. Malunion in valgus >10° was seen in three patients and in varus >10°in two. Rotational malalignment >10° was encountered in five patients.

Randomized trial of reamed and unreamed intramedullary nailing of tibial shaft fractures.

BACKGROUND There remains a compelling biological rationale for both reamed and unreamed intramedullary nailing for the treatment of tibial shaft fractures. Previous small trials have left the evidence for either approach inconclusive. We compared reamed and unreamed intramedullary nailing with regard to the rates of reoperations and complications in patients with tibial shaft fractures. METHO...

A meta-analysis of reamed versus unreamed intramedullary nailing for the treatment of closed tibial fractures.

Controversy exists regarding the clinical outcomes of reamed vs unreamed intramedullary nailing in the treatment of closed tibial fractures. This study assessed the effects of reamed vs unreamed intramedullary nailing for closed tibial fractures. The authors searched PubMed, EMBASE, BIOSIS, and the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register for randomized and quasi-randomized controlled clinical trial...

Meta-analysis of reamed versus unreamed intramedullary nailing for open tibial fractures

BACKGROUND Open fractures of the tibial diaphysis are usually caused by high-energy trauma and associated with severe bone and soft tissue injury. Reamed and unreamed intramedullary nailing are often used for treatment of tibial injury. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical efficacy of reamed versus unreamed intramedullary nailing for open tibial fractures (OTF). METHODS A...

Unreamed intramedullary nailing with oblique proximal and biplanar distal interlocking screws for proximal third tibial fractures.

PURPOSE To assess the outcome of unreamed intramedullary nailing through the lateralised entry point using oblique proximal and biplanar distal interlocking screws. METHODS 15 men and 3 women aged 25 to 58 (mean, 37) years underwent unreamed intramedullary nailing with oblique proximal and biplanar distal interlocking screws for proximal third metaphyseal tibial fractures. The entry point was...

Unreamed interlocking nailing in open fractures of tibia.

PURPOSE To assess the clinical outcome of unreamed intramedullary interlocking nailing in open fractures of tibia, and to evaluate the incidence of complications in these open fractures as a result of the unreamed intramedullary nailing. METHODS Between June 1999 and May 2000, a total of 60 cases of open tibial shaft fractures were operated on with unreamed interlocking nails at Safdarjung Ho...
