Some cases of tibial malunion have occurred following a tibial fracture. This report is on two cases of postfracture tibial malunion in post traumatic fractures, which had been treated by plate and screws.
The first case is of a 50-year-old man with varus and reflexional deformity of the tibia. The second case is of a 25-year-old man with external rotational deformity of the tibia. The deformities were assessed on radiographs and CT images. Both were treated by osteotomy with intramedullary locking nail. The first case was treated after 1.1 years from osteosynthesis and the second case was treated after 1.8 years. Radiographic signs of fracture healing were apparent at 3 months after the second operation.
Tibial alignment improved, and the patients had no complications during or after osteotomy.
