To evaluate the functional and radiological outcomes of using the I lizarov external fixator in the treatment of proximal tibial fractures with compromised skin condition at a tertiary centre

Abstract

Background:The major objective in treating proximal tibia fractures is to accurately reduce and stabilize the injured area while preserving as much soft tissue and vascularity as possible. Aim and objectives: To evaluate the functional and radiological outcomes of using the Ilizarov external fixator in the treatment of proximal tibial fractures with compromised skin condition
