| Popis: | Background: This study was taken up to analyse the benefits of unilateral uniplanr external fixator versus locking compression plate as external fixator in definitive management of open fractures of tibial diaphysis in adults. Materials and Methods: Prospective randomized double blinded study to divide patients with computer generated randomized table. Results: limb extremity functional scale used to assess and compare recovery. Conclusion: : Supracutaneous plating is a cheap and effective alternative to traditional external fixation in case of open fractures of the tibia in adults and can be used as the definitive management for such fractures. |
