Abstract
Purpose: To analyze the outcome of distal tibia fracture treated with the Distal Tibia LCP with combination of interfragmentary screw. Materials and Methods: Between January 2008 and March 2012, data of 34 patients with fracture of distal tibia treated with the Distal Tibia LCP with or without combination of interfragmentary screws were reviewed. There were 17 males and 17 females with an average age of 51.8 years (range, 18~77 years). Radiographic union time and time from surgery until ability to full weight bearing were measured and compared. Callus index was measured as quotient of callus thickness and diameter of corticalis both in AP and sagittal direction. Results: 12 fractures were treated with interfragmentary screws and 22 fractures were treated with bridging plate alone. In interfragmentary fixation group, time to full weight bearing was 14 weeks versus 15.75 weeks without screw. Callus index at bearing was not significantly lesser in patients with screw compated with those without, but callus index difference at posterative 4weeks was sigficant. Radiologic union time was 11.3 weeks in interfragmentary fixation group and 12.58 weeks without screw. Conclusion: The osteosynthesis with the Distal tibia LCP with combination of interfragmentary screw seems to be more stable in postoperative 4weeks than Distal tibia LCP alone, expecting to earlier ROM exercise and rehabilitation.
