Comparison of Rate of Fracture Healing in Compound Fracture of Both Bones Leg Treated With Conductive VS Non–Conductive Insulated External Fixator
Dr. Anurag Baghel, Dr. Narendra Singh Kushwaha
Abstract :
Objective: To compare of rate of fracture healing in compound fracture of both bones leg treated with conductive
vs non-conductive insulated external fixator.
Methods: This was a double blind randomized controlled trial. The patients 12-70 years of either sex having compound fracture both bone of
legs, Gustillo’s grade I and II treatable by external fixators without associated injuries or complications were included in the study. Wounds
were deided and fractures reduced and externally fixed using Epoxy coated Schanz pins and rods. Clinico-radiological union was assessed
at 2 weekly intervals from 10-20 weeks.
Results: The both groups were found to be similar on age as well as other baseline parameters. Effect of abnormal mobility in patients of
experimental group showed more rate of union as compared to control group treated with conventional conducting fixator. Effect of local
tenderness over fracture site showed fracture was healing and experimental group showed more number of patients in which local tenderness
was absent as compared to control group treated with conventional conducting fixator. Effect of weight beå was assigned of fracture union
and experimental group showed more rate of union as compared to control group treated with conventional conducting fixator along with
time. Effect of movements of distal part showed fracture union and experimental group showed more rate of union as compared to control
group treated with conventional conducting fixator. Similar finding was found for RUST score.
Conclusion: It is concluded that fracture healing is faster as compared to patients treated with conventional metallic fixator.
