Management of Segmental Fracture Tibia Based on Ilizarov Technique

Abstract

Management of segmental tibial fracture is a challenging condition for orthopaedic surgeon due to high energy trauma and which is associated with high complication rates. We treated 36 tibial segmental fractures (25 male, 11 female) with a mean age of 35 years (range 20-65 years). The coincidence of segmental tibial fractures with segmental fibular fractures gives an excellent outcome in our series with Ilizarov technique and apparatus, although this appear more injury than segmental tibial fracture.
