원위 경골 골절의 수술적 치료

Distal tibia fractures were mainly caused by high energy trauma and the lower legs were enveloped in poor soft tissue. Therefore, there are many open fractures and concomitant soft tissue injuries in distal tibia fractures. For the restoration of ankle function, the surgical treatment was performed in distal tibia fractures. However, it is difficult to treat the distal tibia fracture surgically. There are many complications in distal tibia fracture due to highly comminuted fracture and poor soft tissue condition. There are many surgical methods for distal tibia fractures, such as, external fixator, intramedulary nailling, open reduction & internal fixation, and minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis. We reviewed the surgical treatments of distal tibia fractures.
