Functional outcome of upper tibial fractures treated with upper tibial locking and non-locking plates: A retrospective study from 2006 till 2017-ten year follow up
Journal Title: International Journal of Orthopaedics Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Our aim was to identify the best line of treatment both functionally and radiologically on a long term basis for upper tibial fractures treated with locking and non locking plates over a period of ten years as a retrospective study all patients who were operated for upper tibial fractures were called, and those who reported were classified as patients who underwent locking plate and patients with non-locking plates. All patients were studied both clinically and radiologically to assess the timing of total weight bearing, infection, rom, etc.

Evaluation of outcome of distal metaphyseal extraarticular tibia fractures treated by locking plates and intramedullary nailing in medical college setup
Background: Distal tibia metaphyseal extra articular fractures are associated with great dilemma for operating surgeon. It is associated with high rate of delayed and non-union due to precarious blood supply and less mus...
