Plan
• At the ER: RICE• WOF: Compartment Syndrome, Fat
Embolism, ARDS, DVT• Definitive: IM nailing, L leg
![Page 18: Trauma SGD Week 2 August 2, 2011. Patient Profile Remeius Emata, 44/M San Isidro, Nueva Ecija R-handed, farmer Seen 5 days post-injury](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649da75503460f94a9380e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
RICE Principle
• Rest- Walk with crutches if you cannot bear weight. • Ice- Use an ice pack for 20 minutes every two to three hours
during the first 72 hours. • Compression- Wrap the leg. Start at the bottom of the toes and
wrap up past the knee. • Elevation- Keep the injured ankle above the level of your heart
when sitting or lying down

Goal of Treatment
The goal of any treatment is to allow the fracture to heal in an acceptable position with minimal negative effect on the surrounding tissues or joints.
![Page 20: Trauma SGD Week 2 August 2, 2011. Patient Profile Remeius Emata, 44/M San Isidro, Nueva Ecija R-handed, farmer Seen 5 days post-injury](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649da75503460f94a9380e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Fibular fracture
•The fibular fracture usually heals independently of the reduction achieved.
Tibial Fracture
•Close•Open
![Page 21: Trauma SGD Week 2 August 2, 2011. Patient Profile Remeius Emata, 44/M San Isidro, Nueva Ecija R-handed, farmer Seen 5 days post-injury](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649da75503460f94a9380e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Close treatment for Tibial Fractures
•Close reduction under GA
•patient is immobilized in a long leg non-weight–bearing cast
•Weekly radiographs for the first 4 weeks
![Page 22: Trauma SGD Week 2 August 2, 2011. Patient Profile Remeius Emata, 44/M San Isidro, Nueva Ecija R-handed, farmer Seen 5 days post-injury](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649da75503460f94a9380e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
•If with displacement, angulation can be corrected by "wedging" the cast
•At 6 weeks, some shaft fractures are stable enough to be put in a short leg weight-bearing cast
•Protected weight bearing should be continued until clinical and radiologic healing is evident.

Surgical Options for Tibial Fractures
• IM Nailing• Plates & screws
![Page 24: Trauma SGD Week 2 August 2, 2011. Patient Profile Remeius Emata, 44/M San Isidro, Nueva Ecija R-handed, farmer Seen 5 days post-injury](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649da75503460f94a9380e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Surgical Management (Intramedullary Nailing)
• For the fixation of unstable closed tibial shaft fractures
• Stabilizes and aligns the tibial shaft• Union rates of greater than 95% and
excellent alignment• Indications: high-energy fx; modereate to
severe soft-tissue injury; unstable fracture pattern; open fx; compartment syndrome; ipsilateral femur fx; inability to maintain reduction;
![Page 25: Trauma SGD Week 2 August 2, 2011. Patient Profile Remeius Emata, 44/M San Isidro, Nueva Ecija R-handed, farmer Seen 5 days post-injury](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649da75503460f94a9380e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
•Intramedullary nails are introduced from a proximal starting point anterior to the tibial tubercle
•across the fracture site under fluoroscopic control without opening the fracture site
•Dynamic or static interlocking can be achieved with transfixing screws on both ends of the nail
![Page 26: Trauma SGD Week 2 August 2, 2011. Patient Profile Remeius Emata, 44/M San Isidro, Nueva Ecija R-handed, farmer Seen 5 days post-injury](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649da75503460f94a9380e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Surgical Management (Plates & Screws)
• Open reduction and internal fixation with plates and screws using minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO) techniques,
![Page 27: Trauma SGD Week 2 August 2, 2011. Patient Profile Remeius Emata, 44/M San Isidro, Nueva Ecija R-handed, farmer Seen 5 days post-injury](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649da75503460f94a9380e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Avoids direct exposure of the fracture
site
Decreases soft-tissue dissection
Decrease devascularization of the bone
![Page 28: Trauma SGD Week 2 August 2, 2011. Patient Profile Remeius Emata, 44/M San Isidro, Nueva Ecija R-handed, farmer Seen 5 days post-injury](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649da75503460f94a9380e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Decrease risk of infection
Decrease risk of delayed
union
This technique is useful in periarticular
fractures with diaphyseal extension
![Page 29: Trauma SGD Week 2 August 2, 2011. Patient Profile Remeius Emata, 44/M San Isidro, Nueva Ecija R-handed, farmer Seen 5 days post-injury](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649da75503460f94a9380e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Cast immobilaztion VS IM nailing
Advantages
IM Nailing Castin Immobilization
1.) shorter time to healing early mobilization with or without weight bearing
2.) better rate of healing short hospital stay
3.) improved functional score
less risk of infection
![Page 30: Trauma SGD Week 2 August 2, 2011. Patient Profile Remeius Emata, 44/M San Isidro, Nueva Ecija R-handed, farmer Seen 5 days post-injury](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649da75503460f94a9380e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Disdvantages
IM Nailing Castin Immobilization
1.) infection does not preclude further surgical treatment
2.) wound problems residual deformity
3.) possible contractures knee or ankle joint stiffness
more difficult wound care
![Page 31: Trauma SGD Week 2 August 2, 2011. Patient Profile Remeius Emata, 44/M San Isidro, Nueva Ecija R-handed, farmer Seen 5 days post-injury](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649da75503460f94a9380e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
What do we do with the Fibula?
The fibular fracture usually heals independently of the reduction achieved.
The fibula only bears 17% of the body weight.
Surgery to place a rod, or plates and screws may sometimes be recommended.
![Page 32: Trauma SGD Week 2 August 2, 2011. Patient Profile Remeius Emata, 44/M San Isidro, Nueva Ecija R-handed, farmer Seen 5 days post-injury](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649da75503460f94a9380e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Conclusion: “Fibular plating in addition to tibial IM fixation of distal third tibia and fibula fractures leads to slightly increased resistance to torsional forces. This small improvement may not be clinically relevant.”
![Page 33: Trauma SGD Week 2 August 2, 2011. Patient Profile Remeius Emata, 44/M San Isidro, Nueva Ecija R-handed, farmer Seen 5 days post-injury](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649da75503460f94a9380e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
“In this study, the proportion of fractures that lost alignment was smaller among those receiving stabilization of the fibula in conjunction with IM nailing compared with those receiving IM nailing alone. Adjunctive fibular stabilization was associated significantly with the ability to maintain fracture reduction beyond 12 weeks. At the present time, the authors recommend fibular plating whenever IM nailing is contemplated in the unstable distal tibia-fibular fracture.”
