Introduction:- Extra-articular proximal tibial fractures account for 5–10 % of all tibial shaft fractures and it result from high-velocity trauma. Closed reduction with minimally invasive plating and locked intramedullary  nailing have been widely used for treatment of proximal tibia extraarticular fractures. Our pupose is to compare the pros and cons of these two methods. Materials and methods:- 22 patients were included in this study for a period of 2 years. Patients treated with IMN were kept in group A patients treated with percutaneus plating were kept in group B. Standard approach of nailing and plating were used and proper follow up were taken for next upcoming 1 year. Results:- Combined average age was 38years. Male were more commonly affected than female (13:8). Majority of fracture were of type A33. Operative time was < 2 hours in both groups. Less blood loss occurred during intramedullary nailing as compared to locking plate fixation. Surgical site infections (SSIs) were seen in two patients in the PTP group. Delayed union occurred in two patients in the IMN group. The average range of motion was 119.7(range 90-150, SD= 19.18) in group A and 115.2(range 80-150, SD = 17.28) in group B. Conclusion:- in treatment of proximal tibia extra articular fracture use of IMN and PTLCP gives comparable results. To validate this issue further a large sample size multicentric study is recommended   Key words: intramedullary nailing (IMN), Extraarticular tibialn fracture, Surgical site infection.

Correct Function

THE AIM OF THIS STUDY is to present the physiotherapy for overcoming the substitution movements and to restore the correct function in the phase of relative protection after surgical stabilized proximal tibia fracture. Material and method Seven patients after fracture in the proximal lateral compartment of the tibia (type b1 in AO classification) with an average age of 42, 9 years were treated. After surgery, an average of 30 days of the brace was used for relative protection. The aim of the physiotherapy was to overcome muscle imbalance to achieve proper movement in the respective planes. Emphasis on recovery was the proper weight bearing on the operated lower limb. RESULTS The results of the first recovery phase demonstrated very limited knee flexion in range of 22, 7º, and knee extension deficit in the range of -15º. After two weeks the results progressed to 115, 5º flexion and full restoration of the extension. Control of edema and hypotrophy of the thigh were proven by circumference. CONCLUSION The adequate physiotherapy provides overcoming of the substitution movements and to restore the correct knee function in the phase of relative protection after surgical stabilized fracture in the proximal tibia.

The Ideal

AbstractThe optimal placement within 3 degrees in coronal alignment was reportedly achieved in only 60 to 80% of patients when using an extramedullary alignment guide for the tibial side in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This probably occurs because the extramedullary alignment guide is easily affected by the position of the ankle joint which is difficult to define by tibial torsion. Rotational direction of distal end of the extramedullary guide should be aligned to the anteroposterior (AP) axis of the proximal tibia to acquire optimal coronal alignment in the computer simulation studies; however, its efficacy has not been proven in a clinical setting. The distal end of the guide can be overly displaced from the ideal position when using a conventional guide system despite the alignment of the AP axis to the proximal tibia. This study investigated the effect of displacement of the distal end of extramedullary guide relative to the tibial coronal alignment while adjusting the rotational alignment of the distal end to the AP axis of the proximal tibia in TKA. A total of 50 TKAs performed in 50 varus osteoarthritic knees using an image-free navigation system were included in this study. The rotational alignment of the proximal side of the guide was adjusted to the AP axis of the proximal tibia. The position of the distal end of the guide was aligned to the center of the ankle joint as viewed from the proximal AP axis (ideal position) and as determined by the navigation system. The tibial intraoperative coronal alignments were recorded as the distal end was moved from the ideal position at 3-mm intervals. The intraoperative alignments were 0.5, 0.9, and 1.4 degrees in valgus alignment with 3-, 6-, and 9-mm medial displacements, respectively. The intraoperative alignments were 0.7, 1.2, and 1.7 degrees in varus alignment with 3-, 6-, and 9-mm lateral displacements, respectively. In conclusion, the acceptable tibial coronal alignment (within 2 degrees from the optimal alignment) can be achieved, although some displacement of the distal end from the ideal position can occur after the rotational alignment of the distal end of the guide is adjusted to the AP axis of the proximal tibia.

SummaryObjectives: To investigate the conformation of the proximal tibia in small breed dogs with and without cranial cruciate ligament disease (CCLD) and to identify morphologic abnormalities that may predispose to development of CCLD.Methods: Mediolateral radiographs of the entire tibia of dogs <15 kg with surgically confirmed CCLD were retrospectively evaluated. Proximal tibial width (PTW), tibial plateau length (TPL), tibial plateau angle as described by Slocum and Slocum (sTPA), proximal tibial tuberosity angle (PTTA), tibial plateau angle as described by Inauen and colleagues (nTPA), and diaphyseal tibial width (DTW) were measured. The same variables were obtained from mediolateral radiographs of the entire tibia of dogs <15 kg without CCLD. In addition, a quotient nTPA/ PTW, relative tibial tuberosity width (rTTW), and relative body weight (rBW) were calculated for each dog. Independent two-sample t-test (p = 0.05) was used to compare mean ± SD of all measured variables between the two groups.Results: Gender, age, and weight mean ± SD were not significantly different between the two groups of dogs (p <0.05). Dogs with CCLD had significantly greater sTPA (p = 0.015) and rBW (p = 0.016).Clinical significance: In dogs of small breeds, a combination of an excessively steep tibial plateau and an increased relative body weight may predispose to early CCLD development. The slope of the tibial plateau was found to be caused by an abnormal caudal angulation of the proximal tibia, a phenomenon previously associated with CCLD development in small breed dogs in individual cases.
