Abstract
Introduction: Fractures of the tibial shaft are important for the reason that they are common and controversial. The exposed anatomical location of the tibia makes it vulnerable to the direct blow and high energy trauma as a result of motor vehicle accidents thus resulting in communited fractures, which are frequently open with significant loss of skin and soft tissues. Methodology: A through clinical examination was performed including detailed history relating to age, sex, occupation, mode of injury, past and associated medical illness and the limb was immobilized in the form of above knee plaster of paris posterior slab (or) Thomas splint. Limb elevation over a pillow was given in all the patients.Routine investigations were done for all patients. All patients were evaluated clinically and radiographically to assess for any injuries. Results: The predominant tibial fracture pattern was Type A1 (27%). In our study most of the cases were associated with fibula fracture. Conclusion: The mean age of patients with these fractures was 40.7 years and the maximum patients were in the age group of 1848 years. Males predominated in our study.
