The treatment of tibial fractures with dynamic axial fixator (Orthofix)

Öz

In this study, we present the results of surgical treatment of 100 (96 patients) tibial fractures who were treated with Dynamic Axial Fixator (Orthofix) and observed for 34 months (min. 16 months). Ten of the fractures were closed (6 had compartment syndrome), and 90 of the fractures were open (28 Type 1, 32 Type 2, 16 Type 3-A, 7 Type 3-B, 7 Type 3-C). Fourteen of the open fracture cases were treated by minimal osteosynthesis and dynamic loading were not applied to them. Fractures not treated by minimal osteosynthesis, were dynamically loaded in stable group in 4 weeks, in the group 7.5 weeks postoperatively. The period for complete fracture healing of closed fractures was on an average 24 weeks, the average of the open fractures was by Type 1; 23 weeks, by Type 2; 23 weeks, by Type 3-A; 25 weeks, by Type 3-B; 28 weeks and by Type 3-C 25 weeks. Complications were as follows: bending of 8 Schanz screws bone fissure occured with 2 Schanz screw while penetrating the bone, pin tract infection rate was 27% Early union cases of fibula caused a problem in 10 patients. Mechanical insufficiency occured with 2 fixators. 12 tibia resulted with malunion and 7 of them had a shortening (>1 cm). 2 cases resulted with nonunion. We have never seen refracture following the Orthofix removal. According to our results, the successful method for the treatment of tibial fractures, in order to be able to avoid possible complications proper surgical application, experience and strict follow up is necessary.
