Fracture treatment by mean of external fixation. Presentation of two cases
Keywords:
tibia fracture, external fixerAbstract
We presented two cases who had tibia fracture, to whom we put bipolar external fixers RALCA, giving more stability. In the first case, a girl aged 9 years, politraumatized with a great quantity of serious trauma, it allowed to continue the treatment and healing without the danger of mobility in the fracture focus, avoiding the fracture focus opening and, therefore, the increase of bleeding and the farther worsening in the case seriousness. In the second case it allowed the precocious mobilization of the lower left limb and avoided the long immobilization with a cast. We obtained satisfactory results in both cases, arriving to the conclusion that this technical application is extremely utile and avoids delayed operations affecting the general status of the patient.Downloads
