[Treatment of upper metaphyso-epiphyseal fractures of the tibia by Ilizarov's method. Report of 4 cases].
The authors report four cases of comminuted metaphyso-epiphyseal fractures of the proximal end of the tibia treated by the Ilizarov method. Three of the cases were polytraumatisms, the fourth one had a severely contused skin. Due to this method early rehabilitation was made possible and treatment of associated lesions was made easy.
