Resumen
ESCARPANTER BULIES, JULIO C.; CRUZ SANCHEZ, PEDRO M. y ALVAREZ GONZALEZ, JORGE L.. Surgical treatment of tibial fractures: analyses of results. Rev Cubana Ortop Traumatol [online]. 1996, vol.10, n.1, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3100.
A retrospective study of 84 tibial fractures operated on at the Orthopedic and Traumatology Department of the "Comandante Pinares" General Teaching Hospital, in San Cristóbal, Pinar del Río, is carried out. The high index of complications resulting from treating these fractures surgically, as well as the long fixation time are stressed. As part of the conclusions, it is underlined that these fractures must be operated on only when bloodless treatment methods fail or are impossible to put into practice.
