- W2085743685 abstract "Background: The treatment of type IIIB open tibial fractures remains a challenge for orthopedic surgeons, particularly with respect to the soft-tissue and subsequent bony reconstruction. The primary shortening and limb lengthening (PSLL) simplifies wound closure for severe open injuries without requiring microsurgical procedures as a main advantage. This method is thought to be also useful for type IIIB patients with polytrauma and other life-threatening injuries because it helps to control both wound sepsis and their general state. In the present study, we attempted to assess the problems, long-term functional outcome, and quality of life (QOL) of patients who were treated by PSLL for Gustilo type IIIB open tibial fractures in our facility. Methods: Six patients with type IIIB open tibial fractures treated with PSLL were retrospectively reviewed. The mean shortening length was 7.4 cm (range, 4.5–10.3 cm). The mean percent shortening of the entire bone was 18.7% (range, 12.3–29.7%). Limb lengthening started at a mean interval of 10.3 months (range, 3–18 months) after the original injury. The mean healing index was 56.5 days/cm (range, 31.3–86.7 days/cm). The complications, functional outcome, and quality of life were evaluated for all cases. Results: One superficial infection at the initial corticotomy, one deep infection around the shortening site, one refracture at the healed docking site, several wire breaks in external frames in two cases, and two severe equinovarus deformities occurred as complications of these procedures. Regarding functional outcome, three patients showed good outcome, two showed fair outcome, and one showed poor outcome. The percent shortening of the entire bone in the two fair cases were more than 25%. The median scale of physical health summary, mental health summary, and total general health summary in Short Form-36 (QOL) were lower than the standard scale in age-matched individuals. Conclusion: This PSLL treatment was thought to be a useful option for severe open fracture of the tibia, which had bony defect in more than 4.5 cm in length after serial debridement, although several complications occurred in this regimen. However, it is difficult to achieve an excellent function and QOL using these techniques. In addition, it is difficult for patients who underwent limb lengthening after shortening more than 25% of the total length of bone to gain good function." @default.
