DIASTASIS OF THE SUPERIOR TIBIA COMPLICATED BY GANGRENE

Study of a Case

G. J. CURRY M.D., F.A.C.S.1 and D. L. BISHOP M.D.1

1 The Department of Traumatic Surgery, Hurley Hospital, Flint, Michigan

This dramatic case presented three phases in its management: (1) a reduction of the fracture-dislocation, which was accomplished easily and satisfactorily; (2) efforts at saving the leg by the decompression procedures previously described; (3) the imperative necessity of saving the patient's life by amputation.

If a similar case should present itself, we feel that this same management would be resorted to, with the possible exception of earlier intervention in the second and third phases.
