Mar 27th, 2021 - To determine the rate of acute compartment syndrome (ACS) in a series of patients with Gustilo-Anderson type IIIB open tibial shaft fractures that were treated using a specific two-stage orthoplastic protocol. Consecutive cohort study.Patients/Par...

Mar 15th, 2021 - This study was performed to investigate leg length discrepancy (LLD), overgrowth, and associated risk factors after pediatric tibial shaft fractures. This study included 103 patients younger than 14 years of age (mean age 7.1 years; 75 boys, 28 gi...

Mar 8th, 2021 - To compare tomographic (TUS) with radiographic (RUS) union scores in nailed shaft fractures during normal healing and in non-unions. Two radiologists blinded to fracture age separately determined RUS and TUS in nailed femoral or tibial shaft fract...

Mar 5th, 2021 - Introduction Nonunion after fixation of long bones negatively impacts outcomes and requires additional surgery. The ability to predict likelihood of nonunion after tibial shaft fracture would be helpful to clinicians and patients. The goal of this...

Mar 2nd, 2021 - Intramedullary nailing is the standard of care for tibial shaft fractures. The risk factors for infectious and/or mechanical complications, notably non-union, remain incompletely understood. The objective of this study was to evaluate risk factors...

Abstract and Introduction Background. Cephalosporin and aminoglycoside antibiotics are currently recommended for infection prophylaxis in high-energy open tibial shaft fractures. We evaluated cephalosporin in conjunction with once daily high-dose ...
