This volume analyzes all the up-to-date internal
fixation or other operative or conservative therapies.
The tibia
is the larger, stronger, and anterior (frontal) of the two bones in the
leg, which connects the knee with the ankle bones. The tibia, or
shinbone, is the most fractured long bone in the body. In recent years,
high-energy accidents result in comminuted tibia fractures or
intraarticular fractures of the knee (plateau) or ankle (platform) that
need immediate open reduction and internal fixation with anatomical
plates or intramedullary nails. Intraarticular fractures with
comminution or fractures with non-appropriate internal fixation
predispose to post-traumatic knee or ankle arthritis. Conservative
current therapies (injections of plate-rich plasma or stems cells) or
high tibia osteotomies may delay the need of total knee arthroplasty.
