[Experience with the surgical management of fractures of the tibial head].

Abstract

In the Department of Traumatology of the "Kaposi Mór" County Hospital 213 patients with the fracture of the proximal end of the tibia were treated during 10 years (1980 + 89). 165 operated cases are analysed, 120 of them could be controlled 1.5-9 years after the operation. The importance of the reconstruction of the articular surfaces is stressed and attention is called to the increased possibility of infection in these operations.
