Hindfoot Valgus following Interlocking Nail Treatment for Tibial Diaphysis Fractures: Can the Fibula Be Neglected?
Purpose. We evaluated whether intramedullary nail fixation for tibial diaphysis fractures with concomitant fibula fractures (except at the distal one-third level) managed conservatively with an associated fibula fracture resulted in ankle deformity and assessed the impact of the ankle deformity on lower extremity function. Methods. Sixty middle one-third tibial shaft fractures with associated f...
متن کاملPenetration 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 کاملRetrograde femoral interlocking nail in complex fractures.
Retrograde interlocking nail was used as the method of fixation in 35 different cases of combination of complex femoral fractures. We performed this procedure in fractures of femoral shaft associated with fracture neck femur, pathological fractures of proximal third of femur with trochanteric pathology, ipsilateral fracture of femur and tibia in polytrauma cases with multiple other injuries, in...
متن کاملIs intact fibula a disadvantage in treatment of tibial diaphysis fracture with intramedullary nailing?
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare solitary tibial diaphysis fractures and tibial diaphysis fractures associated with fibula fracture treated with the intramedullary nailing method. METHODS Records of 254 patients diagnosed with tibial diaphysis fracture and treated with intramedullary nailing between 2010 and 2013 were examined and 30 patients were included in the study. Group 1...
متن کاملSegmental tibial fractures treated with unreamed interlocking nail – A prospective study
Introduction: Fractures of tibia are common and major skeletal injuries. Treatment of such fractures in adults is a challenge to orthopaedic surgeons due to its poor soft tissue coverage and poor blood supply. The aim towards treatment for the segmental fracture tibia is union maintaining normal length, normal alignment without rotational deformity, normal joint movements and reduced hospital s...
