Abstract:
The authors report a series of 9 cases over the period 1981-1992.Debridement was achieved in a single procedure in 44.5% of the cases, in 2 procedures in 33.3%, in more than 2 procedures in 22.2%. The closure of the wound was achieved by secondary sature in 77.8% of the cases and by a muscule flap in 22.2%. The fixation of the fracture was performed by an external fixator in all cases.Primary consolidation was obtained in 44.4% of the cases. A tibiofibular graft was needed in 4 cases.The mean time to consolidation was 23 months.

01:27Fractures: 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...
