BACKGROUND

Most closed tibial fractures in children can be treated conservatively. On the occasions that surgical intervention is required, there are various options available to stabilise the fracture. We would like to present our experience of using monolateral external fixators in the management of closed tibial fractures.

Aim

We sought to assess the time to healing, limb alignment, and complications observed in a cohort of tibial fractures treated with external fixation.
