Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Tibial fractures are the third most common injury involving a long bone in children. Most occur in the distal third, and approximately 10% are open.High-energy injuries with soft tissue compromise or segmental bone loss, present specific challenges. There is a significant risk of nonunion (7.5%),malunion (17%),infection (10%),and loss of reduction (32%).Many forms of treatment are available including a cast, elastic nailing, and external fixation using either a monolateral fixator, or a circular frame . In complex adult tibial fractures, evidence for the effectiveness of definitive external fixation using a circular frame continues to emerge.Fixators may be used for the correction of tibial deformities in children.Currently, only relatively small case series have been published describing their use for trauma in children and adolescents, albeit with good results.
