Functional outcome of ilizarov in schatzker VI fracture of proximal tibia

Cuestiones de Fisioterapia | 2024 | Syed Iftikhar Husssain Shah, Babar Shahs Sadiq, Asghar Khan

Background: Schatzker type VI fractures of the proximal tibia are complex injuries often associated with extensive soft tissue damage. Effective management is critical to restoring limb function, preventing complications, and ensuring optimal recovery. The Ilizarov external fixator has been widely used in such cases due to its ability to provide stable fixation, allow early mob...

Immediate Weight Bearing as Tolerated Is Safe Following Intramedullary Fixation of Extra-articular Metaphyseal Proximal Tibia Fractures (OTA/AO 41-A)

Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma | 2023 | Zachary L. Telgheder, Brenton Hill, Kevin Huang, David T. Watson

Objectives: To determine whether immediate weight bearing after intramedullary fixation of extra-articular proximal tibia fractures (OTA/AO 41A) results in change of alignment before union. Design: Retrospective Review. Setting: Level I and Level II Trauma Center. Patients/Participants: Thirty-seven patients with 37 proximal tibial fractures, all whom could bear weight as toler...

Proximal tibia and tibial plateau nail-plate combinations: technical trick and case series

OTA International: The Open Access Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma | 2022 | Yelena Bogdan, Nicket Dedhia

Abstract Proximal tibia fractures and combined tibial shaft-plateau injuries are increasingly common. Prolonged nonweightbearing may result in poor outcomes, particularly in elderly patients. Nail–plate combination constructs offer an attractive solution to facilitate early weight-bearing in these complex problems. We describe strategies and tips for these constructs and presen...
