Penetration injury of the hindfoot following intramedullary nail fixation of a tibial fracture.
Technical errors during intramedullary nail insertion are not uncommon. We report a case of tibial guide wire penetration into the distal tibial articular surface, the talus and the calcaneus during insertion of the nail with the ankle dorsiflexed. This has not been reported in the past. Computerized tomogram was a useful tool in the diagnosis. This complication was associated with long-standin...
متن کاملHeterotopic Ossification around the Knee after Internal Fixation of a Complex Tibial Plateau Fracture Combined with the Use of Demineralized Bone Matrix (DBM): A Case Report
Demineralized bone matrix has been successfully commercialized as an alternative bone graft material that not only can function as filler but also as an osteoinductive graft. Numerous studies have confirmed its beneficial use in clinical practice. Heterotopic ossification after internal fixation combined with the use of demineralized bone matrix has not been widely reported. In this paper we de...
متن کاملLong-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 کاملComparison of outcomes of operatively treated bicondylar tibial plateau fractures by external fixation and internal fixation.
ABSTRACT The outcome of bicondylar tibial plateau fractures treated with either external fixation (35 patients) or internal fixation (24 patients) was reviewed. Outcome measures included the Rasmussen score, clinical complications, development of osteoarthritis and the requirement for total knee replacement (TKR). Twenty-two (92%) anatomical reductions were achieved in the internal fixation gro...
متن کاملPlate fixation of tibial shaft fractures.
The treatment of tibial shaft fractures is discussed with emphasis given to plate and screw fixation. A review of plate fixation of 65 tibial fractures is presented with average followup of 4.37 years. When reserved for unstable fractures with minor soft tissue disruption, internal fixation by the use of plates and screws resulted in a small incidence of deformity and shortening, with little ri...
