The use of external fixators in the management of tibial shaft fractures

Abstract

The results of treatment and complications of 58 fractures of 57 cases that external fixators (EF) were used for tibial shaft fractures between October 1986 January 1995 were evaluated retrospectively. Mean age of the cases was 29.5 (3.5 -83) years, 84.3 % were male and 15.7 % were female patients. The most common cause of fracture was traffic accident. 54 (93.1 %) of the fractures were open. EF was performed in the first 24 hour to 33 cases, and the remaining 24 case in 2-30 days. The cases were followed-up for approximately 13 months and early amputation was applied to 3 patients. For 55 fractures of 54 patients, the duration of external fixation was 130 (55-240) days and healing period was 168.2 (80-275) days. Of 55 fractures, 9 (16.3 %) non-unions, 3 (5.4 %) wound infections and 5 (9 %) pin-tract infections were observed. Also, Sudeck's atrophy was present in 5.4 %, drop foot in 10.9 %.
