Infection Rate With Intramedullary Interlocking Nail Versus Plate Fixation in Open Tibial Fractures
Infection Rate of ILN vs Plate in Open Fracture Tibia Treated With Prophylactic Antibiotic
Open fractures of the tibia are at risk of infection because the injury damages the surrounding soft tissues. This study will compare the frequency of postoperative infection in patients with Gustilo-Anderson type I and II open tibial shaft fractures treated with intramedullary interlocking nail (ILN) fixation or plate fixation after three days of intravenous prophylactic antibiotic therapy.
A total of 170 patients aged 18-60 years will be included and randomly allocated into two groups of 85 patients each. Group A will undergo ILN fixation, while Group B will undergo plate fixation. Patients will be monitored for signs of infection, including pain, redness, swelling, and wound discharge, during hospital stay and follow-up. The main outcome will be the presence of postoperative infection within three months of surgery.
The findings may help clinicians compare infection rates between these two fixation methods in open tibial shaft fractures.
