Comminuted Fractures of the Midshaft of the Tibia; (Interlocking Nail +/- Blocking Screws or Locked Plating With Predicted Distribution of Locking Screws) Choice Based on Finite Element Analysis Correlated With Clinical Outcome and Union.
- Conditions
- Comminuted Fracture Tibia
- Registration Number
- NCT04388462
- Lead Sponsor
- Cairo University
- Brief Summary
study is to assess the clinical and radiological results of Comminuted fractures of the midshaft of the tibia; treated with interlocking nail +/- blocking screws or locked plating with predicted distribution of locking screws, choice based on finite element analysis correlated with clinical outcome and union.
- Detailed Description
FE analyses will be performed using the finite element code COSMOS/M. The three-dimensional "lower leg" FE model (LL FE model) will be used included the tibia and the fibula. The bony structures will be generated by segmentation of a data set of computed tomographies from the Visible Human Project.
Analysis of data regarding clinical outcomes and radiological assessment of healing rate and union
