Long-term results of treatment of Gustilo-Anderson type 3A-B tibia fractures due to combat-related high-energy ballistic injuries treated with external circular fixator: Experience of the Military Medical Academy
Our long-term study results showed that all patients returned to their social life and were mobilized without support after treatment with the use of Ilizarov ECF method of open tibia fractures caused by high-energy ballistic injuries. However, complications such as pin tract infections and osteomyelitis after several years must be kept in mind in the treatment of comminuted bone fractures caused by firearms and ballistic missiles injuries.
