摘要:

SummaryDelayed union is the result of lack of compliance in therapy, poor reduction of the fracture, tobacco and drug abuse, physiologic factors, and necrotic bone and infection at the fracture site. Treatment consists of compliance with therapy, improvement of fracture stability, cessation of smoking and drug use, bone grafting, and delayed exploration of necrotic fragments at the fracture site.

摘要:

SummaryPin and wire insertion techniques are discussed. Postoperative gauze or sponges are used for the first 2 to 3 weeks. Pin maintenance is discussed. Pins adjacent to tendons may have clear drainage. Loose wires or pins cause inflammation. Deep wire infections are treated with intravenous antibiotics and possible removal. Septic arthritis is treated by wire removal and arthrotomy. Deep fracture infection is treated by debridement.

摘要:

SummaryDebridement of necrotic bone is critical to unite tibial fractures. Free flap reconstruction is done using half pin frames followed by delayed Ilizarov reconstruction after flap maturation. Antibiotic beads are used to resuscitate the wound. Antibiotic spacers are used to maintain a soft tissue tunnel for reconstruction. Bone loss can be reconstructed by acute shortening, lengthening, intercalary transport, or a combination of these techniques.
