The role of dynamisation vis-à-vis non-dynamisation after closed interlocking nailing in cases of closed tibial shaft fractures in adults.
The importance of dynamisation after static locked nailing in comminuted closed tibial fractures is a matter of contention. A prospective study was undertaken among 178 patients in the department of orthopaedics at RG Kar Medical College, Kolkata from January 2002 to December 2006, to analyse the usefulness of this procedure with respect to the degree of comminution. In this study it was seen that dynamisation was found to be of statistical significance in relatively less comminuted fractures as per Winquist-Hansen's classification.
