Abstract

Introduction : distal tibia fractures are amongst the common open fractures encountered in day to day life owing to high energy trauma , the challenge to achieve union is added on due to absence of soft tissue envelope surrounding the bone apart from biological low blood supply Material and methods: this study was done in SRG Hospital and medical college , Jhalawar Rajasthan , comprising of 25 patients with open extra articular distal tibia fractures. Treated by reduction and external xation with ring hybrid xator. Results: The results were based on the objective and subjective parameters as described by Ovadia DN and Beals RK , we had 14 (56%) patients with excellent, 5 (20%) patient with good, 5 (20%) patients with fair and 1 (4%) patient with a poor outcome.
