ABSTRACT

Objective: In this study our main goal is to observe the outcome and results of external fixation in case of open fracture shaft of tibia-fibula. Method: This prospective study has been carried out at Casualty and Orthopaedics department of Comilla Medical College Hospital. A total number of 50 patients were studied from April 2012 to November 2012 to evaluate the management of open fracture shaft of the tibia-fibula by simplest Extemal Fixator. Patients undergoing external fixation for open fracture shaft of tibia-fibula were the target population. Results: To evaluate the results of external fixation in this series, each of the patient was studied elaborately from the day of admission in CoMCH upto the final follow up. It is very difficult task to choose an unique parameter for analysis of results of this study. These injuries are associated with moderate to severe complications which contributed to the final outcome of the results. Conclusion: Evaluating the merits and demerits of different methods of treatment, it can be concluded that, this external fixator can be recommended as the method of choice for stabilization of severe open fracture shaft of the tibia-fibula for the developing countries like us.

Keywords: Tibia-Fibula, fracture shaft, internal fixation, medullary fixation.
