چکیده مقاله:

Background: Distal tibia fractures are among the most common bony injuries, with a significant rate of nonunion anddelayed union. There are multiple methods for the management of distal tibia fractures. Among the plating methods,there are bridge plating and compression plating techniques. There is still a lack of evidence about whether one methodhas a higher rate of union than the other. The present study aimed to assess the union rate of extra-articular distal tibiafractures using biological fixation with bridge plating and rigid fixation with compression plating.Methods: This retrospective analysis was performed on 41 adult patients with distal tibia fractures. The subjectswere divided into two groups based on the fixation method, namely bridge plating and compression plating. Baselinecharacteristics, fracture characteristics, and union status were analyzed and compared in this study.Results: Baseline and fracture characteristics were similar between the groups. Only higher translation in any planeswas noted in the bridge plating group (2.80±3.04 mm; P<0.001). As for union status, the rates of the union during 3months and delayed/no union were similar between the two groups (P=0.18). During a 6-month follow-up, 92% and93.8% of the patients achieved union in the bridge plating and compression plating groups, respectively.Conclusion: Rates of delayed union and nonunion are similar regarding extra-articular distal tibia fractures treatedwith either bridge plating or compression plating.Level of evidence: III

Intra-articular fractures of the distal tibia

In a study of 23 intra-articular fractures of the distal tibia of which 18 were re-examined after an average follow-up period of 5.4 years, two major fracture patterns were identified: type A, a rotational pattern, caused by low energy trauma and type B, a compressive fracture pattern caused by high energy trauma. Type B fractures could be divided into three subgroups: 1) An isolated fracture o...

Assessment of the treatment outcome of closed extra-articular distal tibia fracture: IM nailing vs plating

  Abstract   Background: The tibial diaphyseal fractures are the most common type of long   bone fractures encountered by most orthopedic surgeons. In accordance with descriptive indices of tibia fractures on the basis of their location in the bone, distal tibia   fractures have the second incidence of all tibia fractures after the middle tibia fractures.   The purpose of the study was to asses...

Anterolateral Versus Medial Plating of Distal Extra-articular Tibia Fractures: A Biomechanical Model.

Both medial and anterolateral plate applications have been described for the treatment of distal tibia fractures, each with distinct advantages and disadvantages. The objective of this study was to compare the biomechanical properties of medial and anterolateral plating constructs used to stabilize simulated varus and valgus fracture patterns of the distal tibia. In 16 synthetic tibia models, a...

External fixation versus ORIF for distal intra-articular tibia fractures.

Tibia plafond fractures have historically demonstrated high complication rates. The purpose of this study was to assess the outcomes of tibia plafond fractures following treatment with definitive external fixation vs delayed open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). Sixty patients were enrolled in a prospective cohort trial at 1 Level I trauma center. No differences were noted between the 2 ...

Extra - articular distal radius non - comminuted fractures percutaneous pinning

Fractures of the distal radius constitute about 15 % of all fractures treated in emergency department. Closed reduction and cast immobilization has been the mainstay of treatment of these fractures, but invariably it results in malunion, poor functional and cosmetic outcome.This study was conducted to examine the functional outcome of non comminuted extra-articular distal end radius fractures t...
