Background: Fractures of distal tibia and pilon fractures are one of the most common fractures and are difficult to treat on account of, absence of muscle tissue attachment on lower 1⁄4 tibia and metaphyseal cancellous comminution. Most of them are compound fractures and result in poor blood supply to the distal tibia. The conventional technique of Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) wi...

We have carried out prosthetic reconstruction in six patients with malignant or aggressively benign bone tumours of the distal tibia or fibula. The diagnoses were osteosarcoma in four patients, parosteal osteosarcoma in one and recurrent giant-cell tumour in one. Five tumours were in the distal tibia and one in the distal fibula. The mean duration of follow-up was 5.3 years (2.0 to 7.1). Recons...

A study was performed in adults to determine the efficacy of closed reduction and intramedullary nailing in dynamic mode on union, implant failure and incidence of malalignment in patients who sustained an extra-articular fracture of the distal tibia. Methods: Between January 2007 and December 2013, one hundred and twelve patients of distal tibia that involved the distal 6 cm of the tibia were ...

The treatment of fractures proximal and distal tibia is challenging, because the limited soft tissue envelope poor vascularity. best remains controversial it depends on fracture morphology, displacement comminution. Treatment options vary from closed reduction cast to open internal fixation with plate. Open plate can result in extensive dissection devitalization. We conducted a study management...

Özet Amaç: Tibianın alt 1/3 lük kısmında gelişen kırıklarda kaynamama sık karşılaşılan bir problemdir. Bu durumua ince yumuşak doku örtüsü ve zayıf kanlanma gibi durumlar sebep olurlar. Ayrıca ayak bileğine yakınlık kısa distal segment mekanik problemler probleminin tedavisini oldukça güçleştirir. İntramedüller çivileme, bu soruna güçlü çözüm sunar. Çünkü geniş diseksiyona gerek kalmaz implant ...

PURPOSE Nonossifying fibromas (NOFs) present in a characteristic pattern in the distal tibia. Their predilection to this region and etiology remain imprecisely defined. METHODS We performed a retrospective chart review of patients between January 2003 and March 2014 for distal tibial NOFs. We then reviewed radiographs (XRs), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for s...
