Tibia and fibula shaft fracture are common among young old, if they not managed correctly, can be debilitating in long term. Management of these fractures depends on severity,stability, pattern fracture. Options range from conservative management by plate to external fixation, especially the case an open Unfortunately, ideal fixation option (commonly used or nail) implant is always available op...

The physiologic response to a simple injury was studied in a group of 24 adults suffering from uncomplicated fractures of the tibia and fibula. The dynamic changes of different protein and glycoprotein fractions were estimated. At Days 1, 4, 10, and 30 after the fracture, there was no significant alteration in the total protein levels, but the albumin decreased (18%) and and z2-globulinsincreas...

A 9-month-old filly donkey was referred for a comminuted diaphyseal fracture of the right tibia. Surgical osteosynthesis, with multiple lag screws and a neutralization plate, was performed for anatomical reconstruction. Despite a good gait condition, delayed bone consolidation and a bone gap were evident on follow up radiographic evaluations. Due to delayed healing, autologous platelet-rich pla...

In order to provide scientific and empirical evidence for the clinical application of the polyaxial self-locking anatomical plate, 80 human tibias from healthy adults were scanned by spiral CT and their three-dimensional images were reconstructed using the surface shaded display (SSD) method. Firstly, based on the geometric data of distal tibia, a polyaxial self-locking anatomical plate for dis...

  Abstract   Background: Pseudoarthrosis of the tibia poses one of the most challenging treatment   problems in all of orthopedics. The goal of the study was to assess the clinical   outcome of intramedullary rod fixation in its treatment.   Methods: The results of the management for nine patients with pseudoarthrosis of   the tibia with IM rod fixation were reviewed retrospectively between 198...
