Abstract: | A series of 34 tibial shaft fractures treated by the application of 2 plates is presented. A high degree of rigidity was achieved and allowed early unsplinted weight bearing. The technique is suggested as a method for limited use in severe fractures, particularly in the elderly or multiply injured. The technique also has a useful place in the treatment of non-union, especially if previous surgery has failed. |
