myAO trauma clinical case roundup on ipsilateral femur and tibia fractures with bone loss
In this month’s Trauma clinical case roundup, myAO is featuring a case with a challenging scenario involving a 24-year-old female patient who sustained severe injuries from a motorcycle accident. The patient suffered from open fractures of both the left femur and tibia, accompanied by significant bone loss in the tibia. Despite the complexity of these injuries, including confirmed Gustilo III fractures, a multidisciplinary approach was initiated to manage the extensive damage.
The case is presented by Matias Sepulveda from Chile, along with a compilation of relevant knowledge on the topic.
