Extruded osteoarticular distal tibia: success at 18-month follow-up with reimplantation

J Orthop Trauma. 2010 Nov;24(11):e102-7. doi: 10.1097/BOT.0b013e3181db72cf.

Abstract

Extruded bone is a rare complication of open fractures associated with high energy. We describe a case of bony extrusion involving an osteoarticular segment of distal tibial treated with reimplantation and internal fixation with 18-month follow-up.
