Management of Comminuted Tibial Pilon Fractures by Ilizarov External Fixation
Various types of external fixators have been used to treat Ruedi and Allgöwer Type III pilon fractures, as serious complications can occur using conventional treatment principles. However, insufficient reduction and loss of reduction are the two main disadvantages of external fixator treatments. This is a case series involving 15 patients with comminuted closed fractures of the distal tibia (Ru...
متن کاملHybrid external fixation via a minimally invasive method for tibial pilon fractures – Technical note
INTRODUCTION We aimed to present the clinical and radiological outcomes of patients with tibial pilon fractures who were treated with hybrid external fixators. Shanz screws were applied synchronously and used as joysticks for fracture reduction. Radiological evaluations were conducted on roentgenograms at the second week, sixth week, third month and first year. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study ...
متن کاملHigh energy tibial plateau fractures treated with hybrid external fixation
Management of high energy intra-articular fractures of the proximal tibia, associated with marked soft-tissue trauma, can be challenging, requiring the combination of accurate reduction and minimal invasive techniques. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether minimal intervention and hybrid external fixation of such fractures using the Orthofix system provide an acceptable treatment ou...
متن کاملExternal fixation for complicated tibial fractures.
An account is given of 38 patients with complicated tibial fractures who were treated by the Portsmouth method of external fixation. Twenty-one patients had multiple injuries and 30 had compound fractures of the tibia. Eighteen fractures wounds were infected, 17 cases required bone grafts and 13 had skin grafts. Thirty-four fractures united in an average time of six months; three patients under...
متن کاملMultifragmentary Tibial Pilon Fractures: Midterm Results After Osteosynthesis with External Fixation and Multiple Lag Screws
Osteosynthesis of intraarticular tibial pilon fractures is preferably achieved using locking plates via a minimally invasive technique. If combined with severe soft tissue damage there is a high risk of wound-healing deficits after plate osteosynthesis. Thus our aim was to find an alternative method of treatment for those cases with combined soft tissue injuries.We report on five cases with com...
