A Study of Assessment of Surgical Corrections Done in Fracture of Lower End of Tibia and Fibula

Abstract

Abstract
Background:The weight of the human is completely balanced on his two limbs and is almost equally dispersed among the two limbs. Bone crack mending damage identified with mechanical issues has been to a great degree rectified by improvements in break management. Objectives:To assess parameters after surgical correction of tibia and fibula fractures and to know the condition of the patient after surgical corrections.Methods:An interventional study was conducted among fifty patients who attended for x-ray scanning in the Department of Radiology between January 2020 to August 2020 was included in the study. Divided in 2 groups. The following parameters were assessed for this study: Talocrural angle, Tibial overlap, Tibiofibular distance, Joint space A, and Joint space B. SPSS software was used for data analysis.Results:The morphometry of radiograph such as Tibial overlap (4.10 ± 1.54), Talocrural angle (25.54 ± 1.13), Joint space A (6.89 ± 0.19), Joint space B (6.22 ± 0.10), and Tibiofibular distance space (9.10 ± 0.14). The results of morphometry showed improvement in above parameters after surgery. Pain was present in the group 1 (12.43%) and in group 2 (70%). Morbidity rate was nil in the case of group 1 and not in group 2.Conclusion:The study concludes that the five morphometric points taken into deliberation indeed are useful in evaluating the prognostic outcome in lower end of tibia and fibula fractures after surgery.
