Long-term outcome after tibial shaft fracture: is malunion important?
BACKGROUND Fractures of the shaft of the tibia often heal with some angulation. Although there is biomechanical evidence that such angulation alters load transmission through the joints of the lower limb, it is not clear whether it can eventually lead to osteoarthritis. METHODS One hundred and sixty-four individuals who had sustained a tibial shaft fracture were assessed in a research clinic ...
متن کاملIpsilateral tibial shaft fracture and distal tibial triplane fracture with an intact fibula: a case report.
We present a case of an ipsilateral tibial shaft fracture and a distal tibial triplane fracture with an intact fibula in a 14-year-old boy. Computed tomography revealed the distal tibial triplane fracture with a 2.6-mm displaced Tillaux fragment and a posterior malleolar shear fragment. Open reduction and internal fixation was performed to optimise healing and outcome. This is a rare injury, fo...
متن کاملReturn to Sport After Tibial Shaft Fractures
CONTEXT Acute tibial shaft fractures represent one of the most severe injuries in sports. Return rates and return-to-sport times after these injuries are limited, particularly with regard to the outcomes of different treatment methods. OBJECTIVE To determine the current evidence for the treatment of and return to sport after tibial shaft fractures. DATA SOURCES OVID/MEDLINE (PubMed), EMBASE...
متن کاملTibial shaft fracture and ankle injury – Case report☆
The authors report on a case of tibial shaft fracture associated with ankle injury. The clinical, radiological and surgical characteristics are discussed. Assessment of associated injuries is often overlooked and these injuries are hard to diagnose. When torque occurs in the lower limb, the ankle becomes susceptible to simultaneous injury. It is essential to make careful assessment based on cli...
متن کاملRotational Mal-Alignment after Reamed Intramedullary Nailing for tibial shaft fracture.
Intra-medullary (IM) nailing is standard of care for unstable tibial shaft fractures. Malrotation is very common but it is under-recognised, inpart because of variation in normal anatomy and partly due to difficulty in accurately assessing rotation. This study was planned to evaluate the frequency of rotational mal-alignment after reamed tibia IMnailing. This cross-sectional study was conducted...
