A six-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer was presented with a 12 month history of left pelvic limb lameness following trauma. Clinical examination revealed marked thickening and reduced range-of-motion of the left stifle and radiographs were suggestive of a non-union type B3 tibial plateau fracture with severe secondary osteoarthritis. Total knee replacement was performed with adjunctive stabi...

Intramedullary nailing, which is preferred in tibial diaphyseal fractures, is also frequently used in distal third tibial fractures. Various angular deformities, including varus/valgus deformity, may be observed during postintramedullary nailing. Orthopedic surgeons use several methods to prevent this problem.In this study, at least 2 static locking screws were placed proximal and distal to the...

Background: Proximal tibial fractures refer to that occur in the upper part of tibia, which is larger bone lower leg. The present study was conducted assess management proximal by locking compression plate. Materials & Methods: 70 both genders were treated with MIPO and ORIF. Parameters such as side, type fracture, reduction, principal, operative time, blood loss, hospital stay, healing time et...

The combination of plate and intramedullary nailing has been established as the treatment proximal tibial fractures. Nevertheless, at distal end tibia, application plate-assisted is rarely applied a therapeutic technique. authors provide technical note on use reduction plating technique for nail insertion management tibia fractures.

Fractures of the proximal tibia comprise a huge spectrum of injuries with different fracture configurations. The combination of tibia plateau fracture with diaphyseal extension is a rare injury with sparse literature being available on treatment of the same. Various treatment modalities can be adopted with the aim of achieving a well-aligned, congruous, stable joint, which allows early motion a...

Antibiotic cement-coated intramedullary nails maintain a locally high antibiotic concentration while contributing to bone stability. We present a case of femoral subtrochanteric fracture in a patient with an infected nonunion who was successfully treated for an infection and nonunion using an antibiotic cement-coated tibial intramedullary nail. A 79-year-old woman with a right femoral subtrocha...

The authors report the results of 1-stage external fixation using a locking plate in 116 tibial fractures (85 closed and 31 open). The patients were followed for an average of 22 months. The mean duration of surgery was 42 minutes. The mean fracture healing time was 12 weeks for proximal, 20 weeks for shaft, 14 weeks for distal, and 24 weeks for multisegmental tibial fractures. Nonunion, deep i...

The ipsilateral and contralateral fibulae have been used as a vascularised bone graft for loss of tibial bone usually by methods which have involved specialised microvascular techniques to preserve or re-establish the blood supply. We have developed a method of tibialisation of the fibula using the Ilizarov fixator system, ipsilateral vascularised fibular transport (IVFT), and have used it in f...
