Fractures
Tibial Shaft
Fracture
Geoff was referred for treatment of multiple injures incurred
while sledding down a steep hillside. His femur fracture was treated
with an intramedullary rod by the referring orthopedic surgeon
but the compound tibia fracture was not suitable for a rod or
plate.
|
We set and secured the fracture as illustrated above, with the
fractures all healing without the need for secondary surgery.
|
His torn anterior cruciate ligament was repaired 8 months after
the accident.
|
|
He returned to athletics one year after the injury.
