Abstract:
The authors report a retrospective study of 20 cases. The fixation of the fracture was performed by an external fixator in 19 of the 20 cases and in 1 case by a reamed nail. A second debridement was needed in half of the cases. The closure of the wound was achieved by a pedicular flap in 60% of the cases (fascio-cutaneous flap 10%, muscle flap 45%, cross-leg 5%) and by a free flap in 15% of the cases.A bone graft was necessary in 30% of the casesThe mean time to consolidation was 9 months.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
