Tosic External Fixator in the Management of Proximal Tibial Fractures in Adults
View through CrossRef
ABSTRACT
This retrospective clinical study assessed proximal tibial fractures managed with the Tosic external fixator. Nineteen patients with 21 proximal tibial fractures treated with the Tosic external fixator between July 1997 and October 1998 comprised the study population. Eleven fractures were graded as 41A2, 3 fractures as 41A3, 4 fractures as 41C1, and 3 fractures as 41C2. Fourteen fractures were closed, and 7 fractures were open. Average time to healing was 17 weeks. No revision of fixation was needed. There were five cases of pin tract infection. Average range of knee motion was 2°-135°. These results indicate the Tosic external fixator is an efficient and simple way to treat proximal tibial metaphyseal fractures.
