Distal tibial fractures

Abstract
Background Distal tibial fractures are notorious for being associated with skin complications such as wound dehiscence and infection. The use of angle-stable external locked plate has a dual advantage, acting as an external fixator, which avoids the complications associated with conventional open surgery, and avoiding the cumbersome bulky external frames traditionally used for lower limb fractures...
