Conservative treatment of calf and tibia fractures

Conservative treatment after tibial fracture is mainly the following two reasons, first, children's tibial fracture without obvious angulation, shortening and rotation displacement, are feasible conservative treatment. Second, for patients who can not tolerate surgery tibial fracture, can be conservative treatment. Conservative treatment can be plaster or brace external fixation, and regular review of the film to determine whether the fracture displacement and bone growth. During conservative treatment, the patient should be instructed to exercise in time to prevent muscle atrophy and joint stiffness. In addition, for adult tibial fractures, there are significant shortening, rotation, angulation and other displacements under normal circumstances, requiring surgical treatment to restore the original anatomical structure of the fracture.
