Resumen

MONTOYA CARDERO, Luis Enrique et al. Risk factors associated to the delay in the consolidation of tibial fractures treated with external fixation. MEDISAN [online]. 2013, vol.17, n.10, pp.6022-6030. ISSN 1029-3019.

A longitudinal, prospective, unicentric and analytic case-control study of 33 patients with delay in the consolidation of the tibial fractures treated with external fixers, assisted in "Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso" Teaching General Hospital in Santiago de Cuba was carried out from January to December, 2012, aimed at identifying the associated risk factors. To validate the results odds ratio was calculated and the Chi-square and the Fisher tests were used with the corresponding confidence interval. Among these factors the inadequate follow-up and control, the static use of the external fixers, the intact fibula, the long lasting consumption of anti-inflammatory non-steroidal drugs and to be 40 years old and older prevailed, in that order.

Palabras clave : delay in consolidation of fracture; tibial fracture; external fixation..
