Managing large tibial shaft bone defects is difficult. A provisional locking plate technique aids orthopedic surgeons in achieving satisfactory alignment and reduction during intramedullary nailing for these challenging fractures.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Trauma Management
- Bone Defect Reconstruction
Background:
- Segmental tibial shaft bone defects pose significant management challenges for orthopedic surgeons.
- High-energy fractures leading to these defects are often complicated by high rates of nonunion and infection.
- Achieving optimal alignment during intramedullary nailing for tibial defects is technically demanding.
