We believe that anterior tension band plating is superior to intramedullary nailing in managing anterior tibial stress fractures, not only after failure of intramedullary nailing, but also as a first-line surgical treatment. The site is secure. The presence of a nonunion is obvious. Intramedullary (im) nailing is the most common modality of treatment. Epub 2021 Feb 22. At 3months postoperatively he was pain free and started light jogging, swimming, and plyometric and core stabilization exercises. It is a reliable option not only after failure of im nailing, but also as a first-line surgical treatment of anterior tibial cortex stress fractures. Epub 2018 Mar 12. 0000037429 00000 n At 6-months postoperatively, complete radiologic union of the fracture was evident. The fracture did not heal; he had pain during gait, so he continued no weight bearing for 3 additional months. Treatment and return-to-play decision making can have the greatest impact on an athletes career. Before For navicular fracture, a weighted mean return to sport of 22 for conservative and 16 weeks for surgical treatment was found. There is a need for early recognition of AO 43-B anterior impaction fractures to manage expectations and potentially avoid poor outcomes. doi: 10.7759/cureus.30537. In a recent multicenter trial published by Sommer et al, 4 radiographic criteria predicted poor outcomes after plafond fractures. eCollection 2019. The analysis of the variables, affecting outcome in surgically treated tibia pilon fractured patients. 2007 Dec 20;32(4):121-5. PTOA rates of 39% have been reported. Initially, he was treated conservatively. The role of initial surgery is unknown. doi: 10.1016/j.injury.2015.10.052. Wolters Kluwer Health Posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) is a known complication of ankle injuries. Especially in high-level athletes, who cannot tolerate prolonged inactivity, early surgical intervention of anterior tibial stress fractures with tension band plating is a reliable option that can accelerate recovery. will also be available for a limited time. Borens O, Sen MK, Huang RC, et al. the strand were fixed on the anterior tibial cortex. Impaction of articular surface is seen with an intact anterior cortex.

MRI of tibial stress fractures: relationship between Fredericson classification and time to recovery in pediatric athletes. The ACL has been avulsed from its tibial insertion with multiple fragments of bone. 24. Another important finding was a lower but not statistically significant rate of arthrodesis in AO 43-C fractures compared with AO 43-B anterior impaction fractures (17.7% vs 19.4%). 2015 Mar;49(6):370-6. doi: 10.1136/bjsports-2013-093246. Bookshelf Medicina (Kaunas). Uchiyama Y, Nakamura Y, Mochida J, Tamaki T. Tokai J Exp Clin Med. Especially in high-level athletes, who cannot tolerate prolonged inactivity, early surgical intervention of acute or even non-united anterior tibial stress fractures with tension band plating is a reliable option that can accelerate recovery and return to play. The https:// ensures that you are connecting to the The present investigation included 31 AO 43-B anterior impaction type fractures and 62 AO 43-B nonanterior impaction type fractures, which is underpowered for this comparison. The rate of ankle fusion was expressed as a percentage. Foot Ankle Clin. Epub 2015 Nov 10. 2007 Mar;456:254-8 Smoking had no effect on the rate of arthrodesis as well (Table 2). The constructions were thawed at 4 C for 24 hours prior to mechanical testing and kept moist using saline spray during the entire procedure. 2019 Oct;29(10):1521-1528. doi: 10.1111/sms.13466.
