Study of Outcome of Extra-Articular Metaphyseal Lower Third Tibia-Fibula Fractures Treated Using Fibula Rush-Pin and Cast
Journal Title: GJRA-Global Journal For Research Analysis - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
Lower third Tibia and Fibula fractures are common in adult population. Tibial pilon fractures encompass a spectrum of skeletal injury ranging from fractures caused by low-energy rotational forces to those precipitated by high-energy axial compression forces usually resulting from motor vehicle accidents or falls from a height. Rotational variants typically have a more favorable prognosis, whereas high-energy fractures frequently are associated with open wounds or severe, closed, soft tissue trauma. The fracture may have significant metaphyseal or articular comminution or diaphyseal extension. The fibula is fractured in 85% of these patients.
