下腿骨骨折に対する Endar Nailing について

抄録

Tibial fracture is the most popular fracture of the long bones. We carried out Ender nailing in 10 patients of tibial shaft fracture.
Of the present group of 10 patients, 8 were men and 2 were women, and they were from thirty-three to eighty-three years of age. The 5 cases had open fractures, while the rest of them had closed fractures. It took about one hour on the average to operate on them.
We used the method of weight bearing X-P on 7 cases of the patients. As a result, we found that two Ender nails could bear 20kg load and three Ender nails could bear 30kg load.
Therefore, we may allow early weight bearing.
In the cases of the patients without complications, we start the treatment of walking on cruches without brace at two weeks after operation. Eight of the 9 patients who had the operation three months before showed bone union, while 1 of them showed delayed union.
