Pattern Of Open Tibial Shaft Fractures In Vindhya Region Of Madhya Pradesh
Journal Title: International Journal of Orthopaedics Traumatology & Surgical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: Tibia is the most commonly fractured long bone from its shaft. Open Fractures are particularly common in tibia because of its subcutaneous location. Even small degrees of rotational mal-alignment of the fracture tibia become noticeable because of hinge joints on its either side. In this study we evaluated the pattern of tibial shaft fracture in vindhya region of Madhya Pradesh Material & Method: The study consisted of 36 selected cases of open fractures of tibial shaft and pattern of tibial shaft fracture is based on mode of trauma, type of injury, level of fracture and radiological type of fracture. Results: Results being based on mode of trauma, type of injury, level of fracture and radiological type of fracture. Road traffic accidents (RTA) are most common mode of trauma with 61.11%. 33.33% of Grade III B open type of injury constitutes highest among Grade III A open, Grade II open, Grade I open fractures. Lower one third and spiral type of fracture is most common with 44.44% and 41.66% incidence respectively. Discussion: The study was done in vindhya region of Madhya pradesh to study pattern of open tibial shaft fracture. Lower one third of tibial shaft fracture is common in this region. Male with age group 30-39 being commonly involved in fracture. So an idea of open tibial shaft fracture and its pattern in particular area is presented in this study.
