  • Title: Thermal necrosis after tibial reaming for intramedullary nail fixation. A report of three cases.
    Author: Leunig M, Hertel R.
    Journal: J Bone Joint Surg Br; 1996 Jul; 78(4):584-7. PubMed ID: 8682825.
    Abstract:
    We present three young men who sustained closed diaphyseal fracture of the tibia and later developed severe osteocutaneous necrosis induced by heat during intramedullary reaming. They all had a narrow medullary cavity and in all a tourniquet had been used. Each developed a pretibial cutaneous blister soon after operation. In the following month severe osteomyelitis ensued, requiring segmental resection and osteocutaneous reconstruction.
