- We reviewed fifteen cases of tibial condylar fractures, especially, Schatzker type VI treated with hybrid method from January 1995 to May 1997. We attained satisfactory bony union in all cases. There were not serious complications such as deep wound infection and severe angular deformity, but partial ankylosis. After operation, the patients could do knee motion exercise immediately and had no difficulty in getting maintenance of reduction and fracture healing. In conclusions, the hybrid method is an excellent treatment in soft tissue care, maintenance of reduction, and early ambulation and fracture healing in the cases of tibial condylar fractures.

Abstract

- We reviewed fifteen cases of unstable tibial fractures treated with Ilizarov method from May 1995 to May 1996.
We attained satisfactory bony union in all cases without bone graft(Average time 19 weeks).
There were numbers of complications, such as pin tract infection, angular deformity and joint ankylosis but its were soluble and careful management & numbers of minor surgery were needed to prevent & solve such complications. Post-op immediate weight bearing and ROM exercise were possible and showed no difficulty in getting mainteance of reduction & fracture healing, and serious joint ankylosis waa not developed.
In conclusions, Ilizarov method is an excellent treatment in getting reduction, maintenance of reduction, early ambulation and fracture healing in the cases of unstable tibia fractures.
