Pseudofracture: An Acute Peripheral Tissue Trauma Model

Isolated fractures of the shaft of the tibia
Abstract:
We have reviewed 106 fractures of the tibia with an intact fibula. Most patients were treated in above-knee plaster casts and allowed to walk. Only 2 fractures failed to unite and there were 4 refractures. In 27 patients (25 per cent) the fracture healed with more than 5 degrees of varus angulation. The cause of this deformity and its prevention are discussed.

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 procedure...
