Re: Еще несращение distal tibia

It will result at least with 2 cm of shortening. Maybe more.

Yes, it is considered.

Weight-bearing with dynamically locked nail must provide something
similar...

DMP> heal uneventfully after the nailing or is there a significant requirement

The things are not equal. Grafting is much more invasive procedure.
Never performed it on any nail. Dynamization is routine for cases
where no distraction regenerate is seen in 2-3 month of static locking
in tension. If no need to keep distraction gap, primary dynamic
nailing can be performed.

DMP> Also, how many other cases have you done with a long duration of

About 30. One case of 1 year nonunion can be worse than another of 5
year.

    Alex,

    From your reply I get the idea that the procedure you are suggesting is actually similar to lenghtening over a nail, where the nail is used to protect the regenerate, and shorten the fixator time.

    i.e. you use the fixator to do a gradual distraction and stimulate regenerate, followed by nailing to protect the regenerate; rather than fixator to achieve closed reduction and nailing to achieve fixation and union

    It may sound like nit-picking but I suspect that it could have a bearing on outcome.

    Is that right or am I misunderstanding it

      Yes, though i wouldn't call it similar to lengthening over nail (LON).
      Lengthening then nail (LTN) is much more convenient and comprehensive.

      Exactly. And dynamize the nail if necessary.

      DMP> rather than fixator to achieve closed reduction and nailing to
      DMP> achieve fixation and union

      This appoach we use for acute fractures and in acute angular corrections after perQ osteotomy, where even in case of ex-fix as definitive fixation we would prefer acute correction rather than open wedge regenerate.

        That's an interesting approach...
