TO FIND OUT THE COMPLICATION AND FUNCTIONAL OUTCOME OF TIBIAL FRACTURE MANAGED BY VARIOUS METHODS

Abstract

Background: Proximal tibial fracture is the most common type of injuries and it’s occurring due to high energy trauma. There is severe loss of bone and soft tissue injuries and high chance of open injury. Proximal tibia fracture is in bimodal distribution and high energy trauma to young and low trauma energy in adult.
 Aim: To find out the complication and functional outcome of Tibial fracture managed by various methods.
 Methodology: The present observational and prospective study was conducted in the Department of Orthopaedic, Govt. Medical College, Jammu, J&K for period of 1 year on 25 patients. General information including age, sex, side of fracture etc. was noted on separate sheet. All fractures were classified as per knee society score system.
 Results: In present study majority of incidence is between 18-29 years patient it’s about 32% fallowed by 30-49 year which was about 24% and then above 50 year which was about 20%. In observation male was the most important and prone to injury 68% and right sided were the most involved side. RTA was the most common cause of injury in around 80% and type 4 and type 5 masts the most common type of injuries. Complication is infection and wound dehiscence 8% varus and knee stiffness which was about 4%.
 Conclusion: There is about 80% percent of RTA in proximal Tibial fracture and there are very scarce rules in india so we are recommended to the authorities that strict traffic rules are applied and over speeding of vehicle is decreased and hence proximal tibal fracture.
