Management Of Segmental Fracture Of Tibia Treated By Ilizarov External Fixation.
Tibial shaft segmental fractures are mostly occurring due to a high-energy trauma that produces a severe soft-tissue injury and resulting an excessive frequency of open and closed segmental fractures, and needs effective stable management. The objective of the study was to evaluate the functional outcome and union time in segmental tibial fracture treated with Ilizarov method. ⋯ Ilizarov is an effective method for the stabilization of segmental tibial fractures because the method allows close reduction without extensive soft tissue damage and is efficient for the stabilization of short distal segmental fractures of the tibia.
