Outcomes of the isolated closed tibial shaft fractures treated nonsurgically
Abstract Background: Fractures of the tibia are important for their commonness and controversy in their management. Both conservative and surgical techniques have been introduced in an effort to speed time to :::union::: while minimizing the occurrence of complications. Standard treatment for low-energy tibial shaft fractures includes closed reduction and cast immobilization. The purpose of...
متن کاملThe Role of Biplanar Distal Locking in Intramedullary Nailing of Tibial Shaft Fractures
Background: To compare the union times of the uncomplicated tibial shaft fractures, which were distally locked by twocoronal and one sagittal screws and by only two coronal screws.Methods: 45 patients with tibial shaft treated with intramedullary nailing included in this study. 23 of 45 fractureswere treated with uniplanar two distal interlocking (Group 1) and 22 fractures were treated with bip...
متن کاملchanges in the serum level of vitamin d during healing of tibial and femoral shaft fractures
background: several systemic factors and hormones are thought to regulate the fracture healing process. vitamin d has emerged as a compound or hormone that actively participates in the regulation of calcium homeostasis and bone metabolism. objectives: the aim of this study is to determine the serum changes in the level of vitamin d during the acute healing period of tibial and femoral shaft fra...
متن کاملTibial Shaft Fractures.
The long-bone fractures occur most frequently in the tibial shaft. Adequate treatment of such fractures avoids consolidation failure, skewed consolidation and reoperation. To classify these fractures, the AO/OTA classification method is still used, but it is worthwhile getting to know the Ellis classification method, which also includes assessment of soft-tissue injuries. There is often an asso...
متن کاملIntramedullary fixation of tibial shaft fractures using an expandable nail: early results of 54 acute tibial shaft fractures.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate and present our experience using the expandable nail system for the treatment of acute tibial shaft fractures. DESIGN Retrospective study. SETTING Two level-1 trauma centers-University teaching hospitals. METHODS Fifty-four consecutive patients were treated by this nail system for acute tibial shaft fracture. Two nail diameters were used, 8.5 mm and 10 mm. Operation,...
