2. Taylor Spatial Frame - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_Spatial_Frame

   Open fractures take longer to heal, and infection will delay union. For tibial fractures union is generally achieved after between 3 and 6 months, [3] though time to union can be rather subjective, [4] and the dynamistion process combined with irregular appointments may interfere with these measures.

   In medicine, the Ilizarov apparatus is a type of external fixation apparatus used in orthopedic surgery to lengthen or to reshape the damaged bones of an arm or a leg; used as a limb-sparing technique for treating complex fractures and open bone fractures; and used to treat an infected non-union of bones, which cannot be surgically resolved.

   External fixation is a surgical treatment wherein Kirschner pins and wires are inserted and affixed into bone and then exit the body to be attached to an external apparatus composed of rings and threaded rods — the Ilizarov apparatus, the Taylor Spatial Frame, and the Octopod External Fixator — which immobilises the damaged limb to facilitate healing.

   In addition, wearing orthotic devices including a neoprene sleeve (Figure 2) and wearing appropriate footwear such as a foot arch can help to eliminate the condition. Stretching and strengthening of the anterior tibia or medial tibia by performing exercises of plantar and dorsi flexors such as calf stretch can also help in easing the pain. [64]

7. Intraarticular fracture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraarticular_fracture

   An intraarticular fracture is a bone fracture in which the break crosses into the surface of a joint. This always results in damage to the cartilage . [ 1 ] Compared to extraarticular fractures , intraarticular have a higher risk for developing long-term complications, such as posttraumatic osteoarthritis .
