Bone density after rigid plate fixation of tibial fractures : a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry study

We used dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) to measure the bone mineral content (BMC) of both tibiae in 13 patients who had been treated for a tibial fracture by rigid plate fixation. Within two weeks of plate removal the BMC was significantly greater in the bone that had been under the plate th...
