  • Title: [Segmental fracture of the tibia].
    Author: Hermans KG, Behrens S.
    Journal: Aktuelle Traumatol; 1986 Dec; 16(6):233-7. PubMed ID: 2881436.
    Abstract:
    Segmental fractures of the leg, though rare, often imply serious complications. We present a concept of management which considers the impaired circulation to fracture fragments. In our opinion plate osteosynthesis and medullary nailing should remain the exception; closed methods have priority. In open fractures external fixation devices are preferred.
