Abstract

Aim: This prospective study assessed the clinical and radiological outcomes of open tibia fractures treated with a dynamic external fixator.

Materials and methods: Twenty-five patients underwent surgical debridement and stabilisation with a dynamic external fixator between November 2016 and April 2022. Regular follow-up evaluated bone healing progression.

Results: Favourable outcomes were demonstrated in 20 patients. However, there were three cases of non-union, two of which subsequently deformed, and two cases of pin site-related infection. There were no fracture site infections.

Conclusion: This study demonstrates the use of dynamic external fixation in the treatment of open tibia fractures. The low incidence of complications suggests its effectiveness and potential.

动态外固定器在开放性胫骨骨折治疗前瞻性评估中的适用性

目的：这项前瞻性研究评估了使用动态外固定器治疗开放性胫骨骨折的临床和放射学结果：25名患者在2016年11月至2022年4月期间接受了手术清创并使用动态外固定器进行了稳定。定期随访评估骨愈合进展：20名患者均取得了良好的疗效。然而，有三例患者出现了骨不愈合，其中两例后来发生了畸形，还有两例出现了针脚部位相关感染。没有发生骨折部位感染：这项研究表明，动态外固定可用于治疗开放性胫骨骨折。并发症发生率低，表明了动态外固定的有效性和潜力：Bezerra BS, Araujo TA, Cardonia GG, et al. 动态外固定器在开放性胫骨骨折治疗前瞻性评估中的适用性。Strategies Trauma Limb Reconstr 2024;19(1):36-39.

期刊介绍： Strategies in Trauma and Limb Reconstruction is dedicated to surgeons, allied medical professionals and researchers in the field of orthopaedics and trauma. The scope of the journal is to discuss the fields of skeletal injury, and the complications thereof, congenital and acquired limb deformities and deficiencies, and orthopaedic-related infection, together with their surgical and non-surgical treatments. The journal publishes original articles, reviews, case reports, descriptions of new or recognised treatment techniques, forum discussions of clinical scenarios and relevant correspondence. It aims to provide a widely accessible source of useful information to practitioners in the field through the problem- or technique-based approach of published articles.
