Tibial plateau fractures after arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction are rare, and only isolated cases have been reported. The authors describe a case of bilateral medial tibial plateau fracture following a minor motorcycle accident in a patient who underwent arthroscopic ACL reconstruction in the past. Two years and four months before the accident, the patient underwent ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of external fixation, delayed open reduction, and internal fixation in treating tibial plateau fracture with dislocation.Clinical data of 34 patients diagnosed with tibial plateau fracture complicated with dislocation between January 2009 and May 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Fifteen patients in group A underwent early calcaneus ...

Background:Bicondylar tibia plateau fractures are difficult to manage due to complexities of comminuation of articular surfaces, extensive soft tissue injuries, infection and risk of compartment syndrome associated with it. Various modalities including cast, traction or open reduction and internal fixation using single to dual plate fixation technique are now days used. We report our results of...

Fractures of the tibia account for approximately 17-21% of all lower extremity fractures and approximately 2% of all combined fractures [1,2]. Within this number, 3% to 13% of tibia fractures are classified as segmental with most literature on this injury consisting of case series or retrospective reviews [3,4]. Segmental fractures of the tibia present a challenge to treating orthopedic surgeon...

Background & Aims: Tibia fractures are the most common long bone fracture. Due to minimal soft tissue and its blood supply, inadequate treatment of injuries could be a major cause of morbidity and disability. The intramedullary nail is the preferred method of treatment; however, despite all previous studies, no accurate method to measure nail length prior to surgery exists as yet. Due to the im...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There is some clinical evidence that fracture healing is impaired in multiply injured patients. Nothing is known, however, about the effects of various types of injuries and their contribution to a possible disturbance of the fracture-healing process. We investigated the effect of a thoracic trauma and an additional soft-tissue trauma on fracture healing in a rat tibia mo...

Most stress fractures of the tibia, when treated appropriately, heal without sequelae. A stress fracture of the anterior part of the cortex of the tibia, an uncommon variant, is associated with atypical clinical and radiographic findings, has a propensity for nonunion, and can result in a complete fracture. We report the case of a patient who had chronic, bilateral stress fractures of the anter...

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...

Osteochondromas arising from the interosseous border of the distal tibia and involving distal fibula are uncommon. We present a 16 year old young boy with an impending fracture, erosion and weakness of the distal fibula, secondary to an osteochondroma arising from the distal tibia. Early excision of this deforming distal tibial osteochondroma avoided the future risk of pathological fracture of ...

High energy trauma such as road traffic accidents, are a common cause of lower extremity fractures. Tibia fractures the second most fractures, and distal tibia deserve special attention due to relatively lesser amount necessary fracture, propensity for complications, nonunion, malunion, infections, skin cover complications. In this study, we compare discuss outcomes two well-established modalit...
