Comparison of different treatment methods in tibia shaft fractures

Abstract

161 patients ( 49 female and 112 male) with an average age of 31.2 years with 173 fractured tibias (73 right and 781eft) who had sufficient x-rays to evaluate the fracture type that were treated in Ankara University Medical Faculty, Ibn-i Sina Hospital, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology between January 1987 and January 1992 were called for follow-up examination to evaILİate the results and probable corhplications. 141 of the patients had isolated tibia fractures while 32 had additional skeletal fractures. One pateint had an amputation and one patient died due to complications following treatment. 89 patients were Iost to followup. The average time required for complete fracture healing was 34.9 weeks in the conservatively treated group, 41.7 weeks with the externalfixator and 50.9 weeks in the operatively treated group (plate fixation). When the results were evaluated according to the fracture type using AO classification; the fractures in Group B healed faster when conservatively treated compared to the surgical treatment group with a statistically significant difference (p<0.05).
