Abstract:
If distal tibia fractures cannot be treated with intramedullary nails, locking compression plates, such as the LCP Medial Distal Tibia Plate of Synthes, are used. Bridge plating with interfragmentary movement is the strategy for such osteosynthesis. Interfragmentary movement is difficult to predict. Too much movement leads to formation of more, but less stable callus; longer time until complete fracture healing has been reported. Interfragmentary movement can be controlled by the stability and...     »
