May 18th, 2022 - Primary Objective: The primary objective is to assess the proportion of patients who experienced a surgical site infection. Surgical site infection is defined as either deep or superficial. The presence of tibia infection will be defined by the cr...

May 4th, 2022 - Currently the gold standard in surgical treatment of displaced tibial shaft fractures in children with open growth cartilage is elastic stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN). The purpose of this study is the analysis of indications, complications, ...

Apr 21st, 2022 - Open fractures, especially of the tibia, require prompt intervention to achieve optimal patient outcomes. While open tibial shaft fractures are common injuries in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), there is a dearth of literature examining ...

Mar 10th, 2022 - When the reduction of long bone shaft fracture fragments is performed by a hexapod external fixator, the collision and interference between bony ends often results in an incomplete reduction and a time-consuming procedure. The purpose of this stud...

Mar 6th, 2022 - To determine the effect of native tibia valga on intramedullary nail (IMN) fixation of tibial shaft fractures. Retrospective comparative cohort analysis of 110 consecutive patients with tibial shaft fractures undergoing IMN fixation at an urban le...

May 18th, 2022 - Primary Objective: The primary objective is to assess the proportion of patients who experienced a surgical site infection. Surgical site infection is defined as either deep or superficial. The presence of tibia infection will be defined by the cr...

Jan 18th, 2022 - Approximately 1000 patients presenting with tibial shaft fractures (AO type 42) will be enrolled prospectively in this registry. All patients are treated and followed at 6 weeks, 6 months and 1 year postoperative always following the local standar...

Oct 6th, 2021 - The proposed study is a two arm, pragmatic, randomized controlled multicenter Phase III noninferiority trial. Patients with diaphyseal tibia fractures treated with intramedullary (IM) nail will be randomized into two treatment arms. The control ar...

Jun 11th, 2020 - Early intervention attempts to shorten protracted delayed union (DU) or prevent non-union (NU) fractures are hampered by lack of validated quantitative assessment tools for bone fracture healing during normal and delayed healing processes. In actu...

May 12th, 2020 - The best fixation method for open tibial fractures remains controversial. The current standard treatment options recommended the use of intramedullary nail for treating such fractures. Recent studies also showed favorable results for the use of pl...

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 ...
