Analysis of the results of different types of diaphyseal tibial fractures with intraosseous and of plate osteosynthesis

Abstract

Aim of this study - comparative assesment of treatment outcomes of different types of diaphyseal shin fractures in patients with bone and intraosteal lackable osteosynthesis. Material and methods. We examined 222 patients with fused diaphyseal shin fractures. In 122 patients close reduction and intraosteal lackable osteosynthesis of shin bones was performed, in 100 - open reduction and osteosynthesis of shin bones with plates LCDCP All patients were divided into subgroups according to АО/ASIF classification (fractures type А, В, С). The evaluation of the results was done in two years period after surgery with questionnaire SF36, outpatients clinic cards analysis, CITO cards study outcomes of fractures, rheovasography and X-ray examination. Results. We found that in patients with fractures types A and В these two types of osteosynthesis lead to similar results according to questionnaire SF36, comparable with control group. Bone osteosynthesis in treatment of fractures type С results in higher quality of life, comparable with control group, than intraosteal. Indicators of treatment outcomes in accordance with CITO card in bone osteosynthesis were higher than in intraosteal. In bone osteosynthesis of fractures type A the terms of temporary disability and fusion significantly lower than in intraosteal osteosynthesis of the similar fractures. Reduce of the tolerance to heavy physical stress in patients with fractures type С in intraosteal osteosynthesis determined by low blood flow in shin. Treatment of shin fractures with bone and intraosteal osteosynthesis follows by equal risks of complications.
