Background:Fracture of a normal tibia shaft constitutes a major trauma mostly sustained by young adults during high-energy injuries. Its superficial location and the subcutaneous characteristics of its anteromedial aspect easily causes open fracture. The objectives of this study were to determine the pattern of presentation, and determinants of management outcome in open fractures of the tibia. Methods: This is a prospective hospital based study. A total of 89 patients aged 4 to 80 years with open fractures of the tibia with or without fibula involvement were studied. All the patients received anti tetanus prophylaxis and intravenous antibiotics as well as wound irrigation, debridement and skeletal stabilisation. Results: Students and tr...
