Abstract IntroductionExternal fixator (EF) is a preferred choice for open tibial fractures, but pin tract infection (PTI) and refracture are common complications. Elastic stable intramedullary nail (ESIN) has been reported in the treatment for open tibial fractures. This study aims to compare the clinical outcomes of EF vs. ESIN in the treatment for open tibial shaft fracture in children retrospectively.Material and methodsPatients aged 5-11 years old with Gustilo-Anderson II and IIIA tibial shaft fracture treated at our institute from January 2008 to January 2018 were reviewed retrospectively and categorized into EF (n = 55) and ESIN (n = 37) group. Patients with pathological fracture, neuromuscular disorder, metabolic disease, previous tibial fracture or instrumentation, and polytrauma were excluded. Patients with follow up less than 24 months or incomplete medical records were also excluded. ResultsIn all, fifty-five patients (33 males, 22 females) were included in the EF group, whereas 37 patients (21 males, 16 females) were included in the ESIN group. There was no significant difference between the two groups concerning sex, age, body weight, duration from injury to surgery, Gustilo-Anderson (GA) classification, and concomitant injuries. There was no patient of nonunion and malunion in either group. The incidence of implant prominence was higher in the ESIN group (16%) than those in the EF group (0), P < 0.001. The angulation was higher in the EF group than ESIN group in coronal and sagittal plane, P < 0.001. The radiological union was faster in the ESIN group (7.0 ± 0.9, weeks) than those in the EF group (9.0 ± 2.2), P < 0.001. Limb length discrepancy (LLD) was significantly longer in the EF group (12.1 ± 4.4, mm) than those in the ESIN group (7.3 ± 4.3, mm), P < 0.001. ConclusionESIN is a viable option in selected patients of GA grade II and IIIA open tibial fractures with comparable clinical outcomes as external fixator, but with less complications including superficial infection, residual angulation and refracture after hardware removal.

Abstract Objective: To explore the clinical efficacy and safety of small incision open reduction and intramedullary nail internal fixation surgery in the treatment of simple tibial shaft fracture compared to the closed reduction surgery. Methods: A total of fifty patients with simple tibial shaft fractures admitted to our hospital were randomly and equally assigned into the observation group and the control group. Patients in the observation group received small incision open reduction surgery with intramedullary nail while patients in the control group received the closed reduction surgery. The clinical efficacy, prognosis as well as safety profile were compared between the two groups. Results: Our data indicated that the average bleeding volume of patients in the observation group was increased while the operation time was decreased compared to the control group. No significant difference of postoperative complications, fracture healing time, and Johner-Wruhs scores was identified between the two groups. Conclusion: The small incision open reduction surgery can significantly shorten the operation time while achieved a similar clinical efficacy compared to the closed reduction surgery in simple tibial shaft fracture.
