  • Title: [Treatment of bilateral distal tibial nonunions. Use of an intramedullary compression nail and a modified locking compression plate osteosynthesis].
    Author: Mückley T, Wilharm A, Marintschev I, Hofmann GO, Bühren V.
    Journal: Unfallchirurg; 2007 Mar; 110(3):264-7. PubMed ID: 17051353.
    Abstract:
    Operative treatment of distal tibial fractures remains a challenge for the surgeon even today. The soft tissues demand atraumatic operative techniques, although an anatomical reduction of the articular fracture component is mandatory. The nonunion rate increases with disturbed local blood supply, widened fracture gap, unstable fixation. If a nonunion occurs, an individual treatment concept is required, so that even difficult situations can be successfully managed, as described in our case with bilateral tibial nonunions.
