Abstract

Background: Treatment of COMMINUTED FRACTURES of long bongs has been a problem in orthopaedic surgery. Recently fixation with out opening the fracture site, known as biological fixation has been used. We performed this study to assess the results, and rate of complications of this treatment for COMMINUTED FRACTURES of the tibia and femur in our institution. Methods: Twenty patients, referred to two teaching hospitals, who has COMMINUTED FRACTURES of Femur (15 patients) or tibia (5 patients), not suitable for fixation with closed intramedullary nailing, were treated with biological fixation method. Two patients with femoral fracture, had type IIIA open fractures and two patients with tibial fracture had type II open fractures. The rest of the cases (16 patients) had closed fractures. After biological fixation, patients started range of motion of the joints, but avoided weight bearing until radiographic evidence of union. Results: All the patients had union of fractures with mean time to union of 5.5 months for femoral and 7.5 months for tibial fractures. One of the femoral fractures had shortening of 1 cm and another one, had implant failure due to early weight bearing. There was no infection in closed fractures, but two patients with open fractures developed infection. None of them had limitation in joint motion. Conclusions: Biological plating method is a safe, simple and effective method of fixation for closed COMMINUTED FRACTURES of long bones. It has a high rate of union with minimal complication. It is not recommended for open fractures because of high infection rate.
