Spiral and oblique fractures of distal one-third of tibia-fibula: treatment results with circular external fixator.
INTRODUCTION Spiral and oblique fractures of distal 1/3 of tibia-fibula are relatively common fractures of long bones. Due to their types, aetiology, limited coverage and blood supply, these fractures often lead to union and soft tissue problems. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-seven patients with spiral and oblique fractures of distal 1/3 of tibia-fibula were treated with circular external fixa...

Background: In children, inappropriate treatment of open femoral fractures may induce several complications. A few studies have compared the external fixator with flexible intramedullary nails in high-grade open femoral fractures of children. The present study aims at comparing results of these two treatment methods in open femoral fractures. Methods: In this descriptive analytical study, 27 ...
متن کاملA histological evaluation of bone calluses in the treatment of tibia fractures in sheep with the use of a semicircular fixator
This study discusses the results of a histological examination of bone calluses in the treatment of tibia fractures in sheep with the involvement of a semi-circular fixator. In all sheep, callus samples revealed the presence of well-developed, compact bone tissue in the area of fracture healing. It was found that the use of a semi-circular fixator promoted bone growth, and that it is an effecti...

متن کاملTreatment of open tibial fracture with bone defect caused by high velocity missiles: a case report.
INTRODUCTION Tibia fracture caused by high velocity missiles is mostly comminuted and followed by bone defect which makes their healing process extremely difficult and prone to numerous complications. CASE OUTLINE A 34-year-old male was wounded at close range by a semi-automatic gun missile. He was wounded in the distal area of the left tibia and suffered a massive defect of the bone and soft...
