[Sarmiento's method of conservative treatment of leg fractures].
The authors present a prospective series of 32 fractures of the tibia, treated by Sarmiento's technique. Consolidation of the fracture has been obtained in 3 to 4 months. Five open tibia fractures healed in 4 months. Functional recovery is complete in 90% of the cases. Two failures needed late surgical treatment (one centro-medullary nailing and one plate-fixation). These fractures are studied in detail.
