Elastic Nailing With Kirschner Wires Versus Plate Fixation for Distal Tibial Fractures in Adolescents

Yksityiskohtainen kuvaus
Distal tibial metaphyseal-diaphyseal junction fractures in adolescents can be difficult to treat because of the short distal fragment, proximity to the growth plate, and tendency toward displacement and malalignment. Elastic stable intramedullary nailing is minimally invasive and preserves the fracture biology, but fixation of the short distal fragment may be less stable. Supplementary Kirschner wires may improve rotational and angular stability. Plate fixation provides stable fixation and good control of alignment but may require greater soft-tissue dissection.
This study will be conducted at the Department of Orthopaedics Surgery, Sohag University Hospital. Eligible adolescents with displaced or unstable distal tibial metaphyseal-diaphyseal junction fractures requiring surgical fixation will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups. Group A will undergo elastic stable intramedullary nailing supplemented by one or two Kirschner wires. Group B will undergo plate fixation using a distal tibial locking compression plate. Randomization will be performed using a computer-generated sequence in a 1:1 ratio.
Patients will undergo clinical and radiological follow-up at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months. The primary outcomes are time to radiological union and fracture union rate. Secondary outcomes include coronal and sagittal alignment, time to full weight-bearing, AOFAS Ankle-Hindfoot Score, Lower Extremity Functional Scale, and complications including malunion, delayed union, nonunion, infection, implant irritation or failure, and reoperation.

Kokeellinen: ESIN Supplemented by Kirschner Wires
Participants assigned to this arm will undergo elastic stable intramedullary nailing using two appropriately sized elastic titanium nails inserted through medial and lateral proximal tibial metaphyseal entry points.
One or two supplementary Kirschner wires will then be inserted percutaneously across the distal fragment under fluoroscopic guidance to improve rotational and angular stability.
|
Closed reduction will be performed under fluoroscopic guidance.
Two appropriately sized titanium elastic nails will be inserted through medial and lateral entry points in the proximal tibial metaphysis and advanced across the fracture into the distal fragment.
One or two supplementary Kirschner wires will then be inserted percutaneously across the distal fragment under fluoroscopic guidance to enhance rotational and angular stability.
|
|
Active Comparator: Plate Fixation
Participants assigned to this arm will undergo fixation with a distal tibial locking compression plate using a minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis technique or a limited open approach according to fracture characteristics.
The plate will be positioned on the medial aspect of the tibia and fixed with appropriate locking and cortical screws under fluoroscopic guidance.
|
Following fracture reduction, fixation will be performed using a distal tibial locking compression plate through a minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis technique or a limited open approach according to fracture characteristics.
The plate will be positioned on the medial aspect of the tibia and secured with appropriate locking and cortical screws under fluoroscopic guidance.
