EXTERNAL SKELETAL FIXATION IN THE TREATMENT OF FRACTURES OF THE TIBIA
John R. Naden M.D.1
1 Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
This review presents our experience with external skeletal fixation in the treatment of 237 fractures of the tibia, from a total of over 950 cases in which pinning was done for all types of fractures and orthopaedic conditions. In spite of the difficulties encountered, we are still using this method.
