A Study on Management of Proximal –Third Tibia Fractures by Biological Plating in Adults
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
Fractures of the proximal –third tibia are a serious injury with ever increasing incidence in modern day life styles. Bridging osteosynthesis done by means of a plate is called bridge plating or biological plating. Biological plating is also referred as minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis. Aims and objectives: to study fractures of proximal-third tibia and results of biological plating in those fractures. Materials and Methods: This was a two year prospective study. A series of 30 cases of proximal third tibia fractures were taken in this study. Results: Excellent results were shown in 14 cases (46.6%) and good results were shown in 11 cases (36.6%) and only one case showed poor result (3.3%). More than 80%of cases showed good to excellent results. Conclusion: Biological plating is a safe and reliable modality for the treatment of fractures of the proximal-third tibia.
