How stiff should semi-rigid fixation of the human tibia be? A clue to the answer.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Test results on carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic plates are presented, all of which had been used as semi-rigid fixation in a series of fractures of the middle third of the human tibia. Symptoms of pain experienced by the patients were found to be related to the stiffness of the plates and it is suggested that a stiffness of 2.0 newton-metres per degree is most suitable for this type of fixation of the tibia.

Union Following Biological and Rigid Fixations of Distal Tibia Extra-articular Fractures
Background: Distal tibia fractures are among the most common bony injuries, with a significant rate of nonunion anddelayed union. There are multiple methods for the management of distal tibia fractures. Among the plating methods,there are bridge plating and compression plating techniques. There is still a lack of evidence about whether one methodhas a higher rate of union than...

متن کاملThe use of semi-rigid carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic plates for fixation of human fractures. Results of preliminary trials.
Semi-rigid plates have been constructed from epoxy resin reinforced with carbon fibre. These have been used in animal trials and also for internal fixation of 20 fractures of the human tibia. The results are generally very satisfactory, and support the view that semi-rigid fixation is not only desirable theoretically, but also works in practice. However, the results are from preliminary trials ...
