Abstract:
 ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy of treating pediatric tibial distal metaphyseal fracture by llizarov annular external fixation.MethodsFrom 2011 April to 2016 May,15 children with tibial distal metaphyseal fracture were operated under general anesthesia by llizarov annular external fixation after reduction under radiographic machine.ResultsThe mean followup period was 7.4(5~10) months.And the mean fixation period was 4.5(3~6.2) months. As assessed by AOFAS (American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society) score system,postoperative functional improvements were excellent (n=14) and fair (n=1).ConclusionTreatment of childrens tibial distal metaphyseal fracture by llizarov annular external fixation offers many advantages.And it is both safe and effective,especially for open fracture with severely injured soft tissue.
