目的探讨锁定钢板(LCP)作外固定架在治疗小儿胫骨开放性骨折中的应用。方法采用LCP作外固定架治疗小儿胫骨开放性骨折5例。结果本组获5~12个月随访,创面均愈合,未发生感染,骨平均愈合时间4.3个月。结论锁定钢板作外固定架在治疗小儿胫骨开放性骨折具有独特的优势,操作简便,便于创面处理,固定强度稳定可靠(相对小儿)。 Objective To investigate the application of locking plate (LCP) as external fixator in the treatment of open tibial fractures in children. Methods Five cases of open tibial fractures were treated with LCP as external fixator. Results The group was followed up for 5 to 12 months, the wound healed without infection, the average healing time of 4.3 months. Conclusion The locking plate for external fixator has unique advantages in the treatment of open tibial fractures in children. It is easy to operate and is easy to be treated by wounds. Its fixation strength is stable and reliable (relative to children).
