  2. Taylor Spatial Frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_Spatial_Frame

    This is particularly relevant for open fractures. For open comminuted fractures of the tibial plateau the use of circular frames (like TSF) has markedly reduced infection rates. [2] The time taken for bones to heal (time to union) varies depending on a number of factors. Open fractures take longer to

  3. Open fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_fracture

    The infection rate of open fractures depend on characteristics of the injury, type and timing of treatment, and patient factors. [34] Higher rates of infection are associated with a higher Gustilo classification, where the risk of infection with a grade III fracture are up to 19.2% and a grade I or II fracture can have a 7.2% risk of infection ...

    Delayed union: healing times vary depending on the location of a fracture and the age of a patient. Delayed union is characterised by 'persistence of the fracture line and a scarcity or absence of callus formation' on x-ray. Healing is still occurring but at a much slower rate than normal. [9]

  7. Tibial plateau fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibial_plateau_fracture

    This causes the lateral part of the distal femur and the lateral tibial plateau to come into contact, compressing the tibial plateau and causing the tibia to fracture. The name of the injury is because it was described as being caused by the impact of a car bumper on the lateral side of the knee while the foot is planted on the ground, although ...

    A trimalleolar fracture is a fracture of the ankle that involves the lateral malleolus, the medial malleolus, and the distal posterior aspect of the tibia, which can be termed the posterior malleolus.
