The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) method for treatment of tibial shaft fractures in dogs by comparing MIPO radiographic and fracture healing time results with those from the popular open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) technique. In this clinical study at the Royal Animal Medical Center, five consecutive dogs with diagnoses of comminuted tibial shaft fractures were treated with the MIPO surgical approach. For comparison, an additional five breed-, age-, and weight-matched dogs with comminuted tibial shaft fractures were treated with the ORIF technique. Mean healing time was $75.6{\pm}12.5$ days in the MIPO group and $131.8{\pm}18.6$ days in the ORIF group (p < 0.01). The mean surgery time in the MIPO group ($36.4{\pm}3.5$ minutes) was significantly shorter (p < 0.01) than that for the ORIF group ($47.0{\pm}2.2$ minutes). Based on the short surgical and healing times, the MIPO approach is clinically superior to the ORIF approach and should be the preferred approach in tibial fracture cases.
Purpose: To evaluate the results of MIPPO (minimal invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis) technique for distal tibial metaphyseal fractures. Materials and Methods: It is a retrospective study of 13 patients who were treated by MIPPO technique for distal tibial metaphyseal fractures from Jan. 2001 to Jan. 2003. The average age was 46.7 years and mean follow-up period was 13.3 months. According to AO classification, there were 8 cases of A1, 3 cases of A2, 1 case of B1 and 1 case of C2. One case of A1 was a Gustilo-Anderson type I open fracture and fibular fractures were combined in 12 cases. We applied anatomical reduction and internal fixation for the fibular fractures and internal fixation on the medial side of the tibia by MIPPO technique for distal tibial metaphyseal fractures. Clinical results were evaluated using radiographic results, Neer score, the starting time of postoperative exercise and clinical complications. Results: According to the Neer score, all cases showed satisfactory results. Active ankle ROM was started at average 2.4 weeks ($2{\sim}4$ weeks) and full weight bearing ambulation at average 5.2 weeks ($4{\sim}8$ weeks) postoperatively. Union of fractures was obtained by average 14.4 weeks ($8{\sim}18$ weeks) postoperatively. Two cases showed $5^{\circ}$ limitation of motion without functional deficits and other cases showed satisfactory ROM results. One case had $6^{\circ}$ valgus deformity without functional deficits. There were not any other complications like soft tissue problems and delayed-or non-union. Conclusion: MIPPO technique for the treatment of distal tibial metaphyseal fractures is a feasible technique with a good clinical outcomes.
Purpose: Tibial plateau fractures cause a variety of problems in the knee joint. The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of the meniscus injuries in tibial plateau fracture arthroscopically. Materials and Methods: Thirty-three out of 39 consecutive patients diagnosed with tibial plateau fractures underwent arthroscopy between March 2007 and March 2010. According to Schatzker classification, there were 1 type I (3.3%), 19 type II (53.3%), 4 type III (13.3%), 2 type IV (6.6%), 2 type V (6.6%) and 5 type VI (20%) fracture patterns in 33 patients. Results: Twenty-five cases (75.8%) had lateral meniscus tears. There were 18 meniscal tears in 19 cases of Schatzker type II fractures (94.7%), 3 meniscal tears out of 4 cases of Schatzker type III fractures (75%) and 4 meniscal tears out of 5 cases of Schatzker type VI fractures (80%). The most commonly affected site (22/25) was the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus. Of the 25 documented meniscal tears, all but one were vertical longitudinal tear at meniscocapsular junction so most cases are amenable to arthroscopic repair. Conclusion: Arthroscopy for the meniscal injuries in tibial plateau fractures is a valuable diagnostic and treatment tool, we recommend arthroscopy in tibial plateau fracture.
The purpose of this study is to evalute the efficacy af the Ilizarov external fixation for the surgical treatment. of the tibial plafond fractures. We reviewed retrospectively fourteen cases of tibial plafond fractures with moderate to severe soft. tissue damage, which were fixed with Ilizarov external fixator. Using the AO Muler classification, there were four Type C1 fractures, six Type C2 and four Type C3. In most, of the cases, the ankles were operated on with other associated fractures within a few days after injury. We reduced the fracture indirectly by soft issue taxis and fixed externally across the ankle joint. using the circular external fixator with tensioned wires and ankle hinge. In cases of inadequate closed reduction, we applied limited open reduction and internal fixation. Range of motion exercise began immediately. Postoperative follow-up averaged fourteen months (ranges, 8-30 months). Overall clinical results rated good or excellent in 7 cases, fair in 4 and poor in 3. There were three cases of pin tract infection which were resolved with short-term antibiotics and local care; one delayed wound closure in a patient. whose fracture was associated with Type III open wound; one wound slough in a patient associated with Type II open wound, which was closed later by skin graft; and one osteoarthritis. From this review, we concluded that cross-ankle circular external fixation with tensioned wires with or without. limited open reduction is a reasonable alternative for the treatment of the tibial plafond fractures with severe soft tissue damage.

Objectives: Oral and maxillofacial defects often require bone grafts to restore missing tissues. Well-recognized donor sites include the anterior and posterior iliac crest, rib, and intercalvarial diploic bone. The proximal tibia has also been explored as an alternative donor site. The use of the tibia for bone graft has many benefits, such as procedural ease, adequate volume of cancellous and cortical bone, and minimal complications. Although patients rarely complain of pain, swelling, discomfort, or dysfunction, such as gait disturbance, both patients and surgeons should pay close attention to such after effects due to the possibility of tibial fracture. The purpose of this study is to analyze tibial fractures that occurring after osteotomy for a medioproximal tibial graft. Materials and Methods: An analysis was intended for patients who underwent medioproximal tibial graft between March 2004 and December 2011 in Inha University Hospital. A total of 105 subjects, 30 females and 75 males, ranged in age from 17 to 78 years. We investigated the age, weight, circumstance, and graft timing in relation to tibial fracture. Results: Tibial fractures occurred in four of 105 patients. There were no significant differences in graft region, shape, or scale between the fractured and non-fractured patients. Conclusion: Patients who undergo tibial grafts must be careful of excessive external force after the operation.
Purpose: To evaluate surgical treatment using two-staged MIPO technique in tibial pilon fractures involving tibial shaft. Materials and Methods: Twelve patients, who underwent two-staged MIPO technique for pilon fractures involving tibial shaft between January 2003 and May 2005, were followed for more than one year. Radiographs were graded by the criteria of Anglen and ankle functions were graded by the criteria of Mast and Teipner. Ankle function, union time and postoperative complications were also analysed. Results: Clinically there were eight (67%) good results, three (25%) fair results and one (8%) poor result. At the last follow-up, the radiographic results showed seven (58%) excellent results, three (25%) good results, and two (17%) fair results. During the follow up, There was one case of nonunion Conclusion: Two-staged MIPO techinque is one of the good methods for the treatment of pilon fractures invloving tibial shaft.

Purpose: Anterolateral minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) was performed to treat patients with distal tibial fractures associated with open fractures or extensive soft tissue injuries, which is limited medial MIPO. The treatment results of the anterolateral MIPO technique were evaluated and analyzed. Materials and Methods: Seventeen patients with distal tibial fractures associated with an open fracture or large bullae formation on the distal tibia medial side were treated with anterolateral MIPO using anterolateral locking plates. Within 24 hours of visiting the emergency room, external fixation was applied, and the medial side wound was managed. After damage control, the anterolateral locking plate was applied using an anterolateral MIPO technique. The union time, nonunion, or malunion were evaluated with regular postoperative radiographs. The ankle range of motion, operative time, blood loss, Iowa score, and wound complications were investigated. Results: Radiological evidence of bony union was obtained in all cases. The mean time to union was 16.7 weeks (12~25 weeks). The mean operation time was 44.0 minutes. Regarding the ankle range of motion, the mean dorsiflexion was 15°, and the mean plantarflexion was 35°. Satisfactory results were obtained in 15 out of 17 cases; five results were classified as excellent, four were good, and six were fair. The mean blood loss was 125.2 mL. Two complications were recorded. Conclusion: In distal tibial fractures with severe medial soft tissue damage caused by high-energy trauma, the staged anterolateral MIPO technique using anterolateral locking plates is a useful alternative treatment to achieving optimal wound care, rapid union with biological fixation, and intra-articular reduction.
This study compared the biomechanical properties of bone-stapling techniques with those of other fixation methods used for stabilizing tibial tuberosity fractures using 3-dimensionally (3D)-printed canine bone models. Twenty-eight 3D-printed bone models made from computed tomography scan files were used. Tibial tuberosity fractures were simulated using osteotomy. All samples were divided into 4 groups. Group 1 was stabilized with a pin and tension-band wire; group 2, with a pin and an 8 mm-wide bone staple; group 3, with 2 horizontally aligned pins and an 8 mm-wide bone staple; and group 4 with a 10 mm-wide bone staple. Tensile force was applied with vertical distraction until failure occurred. The load and displacement were recorded during the tests. The groups were compared based on the load required to cause displacements of 1, 2, and 3 mm. The maximum failure loads and modes were recorded. The loads at all displacements in group 4 were greater than those in groups 1, 2, and 3. The loads at 1, 2, and 3 mm displacements were similar in groups 1 and 3. There was no significant difference between groups 1 and 3. Groups 1 and 4 provided greater maximum failure loads than groups 2 and 3. Failure occurred because of tearing of the nylon rope, tibial fracture, wire breakage, pin bending, and fracture around the bone staple insertion. In conclusion, these results demonstrate that the bone-stapling technique is an acceptable alternative to tension-band wire fixation for the stabilization of tibial tuberosity fractures in canine bone models.
Purpose: Management of soft-tissue defect after open tibial fractures includes immediate and repeated debridement, skeletal stabilization, and early soft-tissue coverage with muscle flaps. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcome of the free rectus abdominis muscle flap (RA flap) for treatment of open fractures of the tibia and to discuss its advantages compared with the latissimus dorsi muscle flap (LD flap) in poly trauma patients. Materials and Methods: We performed a retrospective review of 5 patients who had a severe (Gustilo IIIb or IIIc) open fracture of the tibia treated with RA flap from May 2003 to March 2006. All were men, and the mean age was 46.6 years (range, $28{\sim}68$). Three patients had combined injuries such as pelvic bone fractures, multiple rib fractures with hemothorax, and contralateral tibial fracture. All patients received RA flap within 7 days after trauma except two with established chronic osteomyelitis. Results: All flaps survived, and there was no marginal flap necrosis. During the follow-up period, there was no evidence of persistent or recurrent osteomyelitis. The size of RA flap ranged from $8{\sim}20\;cm$ in length and $6{\sim}10\;cm$ in width. The average time required for RA flap elevation was 32 minutes, which is shorter than LD flap. Flap elevation could be done in supine position which is essential in poly trauma patients. Conclusion: Although a wide variety of options are available, RA flap is regarded as an optimal method for coverage of soft-tissue defect of the open tibial fracture in poly trauma patients. LD flap is reserved for large sized soft-tissue defect which cannot be covered by RA flap.
Purpose: Concomitant ankle injuries associated with tibial shaft fractures can affect postoperative ankle joint pain and various postoperative ankle complications. This study compared the clinical outcomes between surgical treatment and conservative treatment of concomitant ankle injuries associated with tibial shaft fractures. Materials and Methods: From January 2015 to June 2020, a retrospective study was conducted on 118 tibia shaft fractures at the orthopedics department of the hospital. Associated ankle injuries were analyzed using plain radiographs, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and intraoperative stress exams. The clinical outcomes were compared using the pain visual analog scale (pain VAS), American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society Ankle-Hindfoot score (AOFAS score), and Karlsson-Peterson ankle score (KP score). Results: Seventy-two (61.02%) of the 118 cases were diagnosed with associated ankle injuries. Fifty-six cases underwent surgery for the ankle injury, and 16 cases underwent conservative treatment. The clinical results (according to the pain VAS score, AOFAS score, the KP score) were 1.79±1.26, 94.48±4.03, and 94.57±3.60, respectively, in the surgical treatment group, and 3.00±1.03, 91.06±3.02, and 91.25±3.31, respectively, in the conservative treatment group. Conclusion: Surgical treatment showed better clinical outcomes than conservative treatment in concomitant ankle injury in tibia fractures. Therefore, surgical treatment produces better clinical outcomes than conservative treatment in concomitant ankle injuries in tibia fractures. Hence to improve the clinical outcomes, more attention is needed on ankle joint injury in tibial shaft fractures for selecting suitable surgical treatments for those patients.
