We report two cases of failed attempts at closed reduction of high-energy tibial fractures with an associated fibula fracture. The first case was a 39-year-old male involved in high-speed motorbike collision, while the second was a 14-year-old male who injured his leg following a fall of three metres. Emergency medical services at the scenes of the accidents reported a 90-degree valgus deformit...

Sarmiento introduced the functional fracture brace for the management of tibial shaft fracture in 1963. However, tibial angulation with varus deformity cannot be prevented or corrected by such a device. In this paper, a case of tibial shaft fracture with varus angulation treated with a modified below-knee fracture brace was reported.

Historically open reduction and internal !xation of high energy proximal tibia fractures have been associated with high rates of infection (13–88%) and nowadays staged protocol for management was proposed (1). Also articular step o"s and angular deformities after operative treatment are observed in 10–19% of cases (2). Taking all this into account the complex tibial plateau fractures management...

Background: Tibial plateau fractures are one of the common intra-articular fractures,. Advances in mechanization and acceleration travel have resulted increase road traffic accidents which is associated with number tibia fracture. In younger population, these injuries an increased incidence complications like, infection, restriction motion, loss reduction (2). The study aimed to determine funct...

P hyseal or growth plate injuries comprise 18% of all pediatric fractures, with Salter Harris type II as the most common type of fracture injury pattern observed in 61% of patients. The incidence of growth arrest is just over 1%, and the incidence of serious complications is less than 1%. Irreducible physeal fractures, caused by entrapment of the periosteum, tendons or ligaments, are of particu...

Patella sleeve fracture is a rare fracture that only occurs in children. Diagnosis is difficult both clinically and radiologically. A high-riding patella and hemarthrosis are important signs when diagnosing this fracture. We report a case of an 11-year-old boy who suffered from patella sleeve fracture without visible bony fragments on a lateral radiograph. Open reduction with transosseous tunne...

A 21-year-old male was admitted to the orthopaedic and trauma department following a left knee injury. On examination, he appeared dehydrated and had left-sided knee pain. Radiological investigations revealed a left patellar fracture (Figure 1A); in addition, incidental distal femoral and proximal tibial bone cysts were present. Routine serum biochemistry revealed severe hypercalcaemia with a c...

Background Proximal tibial fractures in elderly patients with osteoporosis or knee osteoarthritis (OA) are challenging cases. In the current study, we present our experience with uncommon acute primary total knee arthroplasty (PTKA) in this patient population. Methods PTKAs were performed following proximal tibial fractures in 30 consecutive patients over 60 years of age with osteoporosis or ...

Tibial shaft fractures are treated surgically by different methods. In the last few years interlocking intramedullary nailing has emerged as a gold standard for tibia fracture. The clinical and radiological outcome is better complications like compartment syndrome, neurovascular injuries, infection, non-union relatively less of tibia. use ILIM nail also shows reduce risk reoperation. Nail consi...
