External fixation combined with limited internal fixation in the treatment of pilon tibia fractures [PDF]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2007
Background/Aim. Intraarticular fractures of the tibial plafond (pilon fractures) belong to the group of most severe fractures. They are usually caused by high-energy trauma and frequently associated with a marked soft-tissue damage.

External fixation of “intertrochanteric” fractures

Orthopedic Reviews, 2009
In developing countries, due to limited availability of modern anesthesia and overcrowding of the hospitals with patients who need surgery, high-risk patients with “intertro-chanteric” fractures remain unsuitable for open reduction and internal fixation.

Non-union: Indications for external fixation.

Injury, 2019
External fixation is currently used as the definitive mode of fracture stabilisation in the management of ˜50% of long-bone non-unions. Distinction between non-union and delayed union is a diagnostic dilemma especially in fractures healing by primary ...

Comparison between external locking plate fixation and conventional external fixation for extraarticular proximal tibial fractures: a finite element analysis

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2022
Background Good clinical outcomes for locking plates as an external fixator to treat tibial fractures have been reported. However, external locking plate fixation is still generally rarely performed.

Delta external fixation as a suitable option for definitive fixation of osteoporotic pilon fractures in biomechanics: a finite element analysis [PDF]

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
IntroductionPilon fractures are high-energy traumatic injuries characterized by complex metaphyseal fractures that involve the distal tibial articular surface, often accompanied by severe soft tissue damage.

Low Profile, High Impact: External Fixation using Locking Plates in Challenging Tibial Fractures [PDF]

J Orthop Case Rep
Introduction: Treating metadiaphyseal tibial fractures with compromised soft tissues remains a surgical challenge. While traditional external fixators are widely used, locking compression plates (LCPs) applied externally as fixators offer a promising ...

Circular hexapod external fixation for periprosthetic tibial fracture

Arthroplasty Today, 2018
A poor soft tissue envelope often accompanies periprosthetic tibia fracture around a well-fixed total knee arthroplasty and the tibial stem leaves little room for screw fixation.
