In this case report, treatment
of the proximal tibial fracture of a calf with a linear external fixator (orthofix) system was presented. Oblique fracture was diagnosed proximal to
right tibia regarding the clinical and radiological findings. Following the
routine preparatory steps for the operation, the extremity was suspended and the
fracture was reduced with orthofix from
the lateral side of the tibia under general anesthesia. After the
operation, it was observed that the calf could functionally use the related
extremity from the first day. The consolidation
was completed on the 41st day, and the fixator was removed on 47th
day. In conclusion, it was considered that the proximal tibial fractures
of calves could be successfully treated
with a linear external fixator.
