Abstract

One-hundred nineteen patients with tibial fractures due to gunshot injury were treated with Ilizarov and Girgin external fixators. There were 19 type-I, 52 type-II, 48 type-III open fractures. The mean follow-up time was 15.7 (8.5-44) months. Fractures treated with Ilizarov and Girgin external fixators healed on an average of 5.2 (2.5-28) and 5.96 (3.5-14), respectively. Most of the complications occurred at the fractures treated with Girgin external fixator. There were eleven malunion (9.2%), seven non union (5.8%), eight infection (6.72%), forty-one pin-track infection, fourteen delayed union (17.76%). In cases with open tibial fractures due to gunshot injury, external fixator are advantages in view of infection, when compared with other stabilizer materials, particularly with intramedullary nailing. However, it is also disadvantages fixation material for complication such as pin-track infection and malunion.

Abstract

Ateşli silah yaralanması sonucu meydana gelen 119 tibia fraktürü eksternal fiksatörle tedavi edildi. Bu kırık-ların 19'u Tip-l, 52'si Tip-ll, 48'i Tip-lll'dü. Eksternal fiksatör olarak Girgin ve İlizarov tipi fiksatör kullanıldı. Hastalar ortalama 15.7 (8.7-44) ay takip edildi. Kırığın ortalama iyileşme zamanı. Girgin tipinde 5.96 (3.5-14), İlizarov tipinde ise 5.2 (2.5-28) ay olarak gerçekleşti. Komplikasyonlar daha çok Girgin eksternal fiksatörle te-davi edilen hastalarda görüldü. Toplam vakalarda kötü kaynama 11 (%9.2), Kaynamama 7 (%5.8), derin yara enfeksiyonu 8 (%6.72), çivi yolu enfeksiyonu 41 (%6.7) telde, ve kaynama gecikmesi 14 (%11.76) vakada mey-dana geldi. Ateşli silah yaralanması sonucu oluşmuş tibia kırıklarında, uygulanan stabilizan materyaller içerisinde eksternal fiksatörler özellikle intramedüller çivilerle karşılaştırıldığı zaman, enfeksiyon yönünden avantajlıdır. Malünion ve tel dibi enfeksiyonu gibi komplikasyonlar yönünden ise daha dezavantajlı bir fiksasyon materyalidir.
