🦴 Shaft of Tibia Fracture — Successfully Treated with DCP Plating
A patient presented with a shaft of tibia fracture sustained 5 days prior to surgery. After proper evaluation and pre-operative planning, Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) was performed using an 8-hole Dynamic Compression Plate (DCP).
🔹 Procedure Highlights:
✅ Anatomical reduction achieved
✅ 8-hole DCP plate fixation
✅ Stable construct allowing early mobilization
✅ Careful soft tissue handling
✅ Intra-operative imaging confirmation
🔹 Post-Operative Plan:
• Limb elevation & pain management
• Early knee and ankle range of motion
• Gradual weight-bearing as per healing
• Regular follow-up with X-rays
Patient tolerated the procedure well and is currently recovering satisfactorily.
Early fixation in tibial shaft fractures helps in better alignment, early mobilization, and improved functional outcomes.
