Radiographs taken at onset of postoperative pain. Tibial cuts taken using extramedullary jigs. In elderly people, stress fractures are associated with abnormal underlying bone. Case Discussion Stress fractures are frequently found during competitive sports or intense exercise. PMC Thus, your risk of stress fractures in this area rises considerably. Res. official website and that any information you provide is encrypted A proximal tibia fracture, or any fracture for that matter, may be classified into the following categories based on several other factors: Compression fracture The bone may appear flatter or wider due to a crushing break. Epub 2019 Mar 28. We believe, this is one of the largest series and unique, since we included only proximal tibia stress fracture along with osteoarthritis and reported two cases of two-level stress fracture of tibia of same leg. Proximal fibula osteotomy (PFO) is a new method for treating medial compartment osteoarthritis of the knee, which is based on the theory of differential settlement (nonuniform settlement). Other risk factors reported in the literature were hyperparathyroidism, rheumatoid arthritis, Paget's disease, pyrophosphate arthropathy and after total knee arthroplasty [49]. No abnormal amount of joint effusion. High energy injuries such as a fall from a height, sports related trauma or motor vehicle accidents may be responsible for fracture in young adults. 20 The site is secure. No other fractures are seen, bone alignment is preserved. After placing the tibial tray, the entry point for the tibial stem taken and serial reaming done and fracture site bypassed using long tibial stem. A fracture just below the knee is called a fracture of the proximal end of the tibia. Thus conservative treatment which holds good in young patients with stress fracture may not be successful in treating patients associated with osteoarthritis with deformity. Tibial stress fractures are not rare--they have been extensively studied in young athletes and soldiers and in elderly people with rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, Paget's disease, pyrophosphate arthropathy, and hyperparathyroidism--but they seldom occur in patients with severe primary degenerative knee osteoarthritis. Oper Orthop Traumatol. The first significant symptom of the stress fracture should be recognised and promptly addressed, since the delay in instituting treatment will lead to progression and affect the healing pattern of stress fracture due to malalignment associated with coexisting osteoarthritis. Am J Sports Med 23(4):472481, Shearman CM, Brandser EA, Parman LM, el-Khoury GY, Saltzman CL, Pyevich MT, Boles CA (1998) Longitudinal tibial stress fractures: a report of eight cases and review of the literature. {"url":"/signup-modal-props.json?lang=us\u0026email="}, Di Muzio B, Proximal tibia stress fracture. (A) Anteroposterior view. with tibial fractures treated using the Ilizarov . Two stage surgery will also lead to prolonged treatment and increase the morbidity in these elderly patient group. The other conditions reported are rheumatoid arthritis, pyrophosphate arthropathy, Pagets disease [48] and after knee arthroplasty (unicondylar and navigated) [1517]. Princ. Two stage procedure like plating initially followed by TKA in treating these stress fracture will lead to prolonged treatment and pain due to arthritis and malalignment will be persisting till the second procedure and this is not an appealing option. Bilateral knee osteoarthritis, Elderly females, obesity and concomitant osteoporosis are the risk factors associated with these stress fractures. No other fractures are seen, bone alignment is preserved. - 27.121.85.226. (A) Anteroposterior view. Eur J Orthop Surg Traumatol 22 ADVERTISEMENT: Supporters see fewer/no ads. Here, we report an unusual case of an otherwise fit, young, adult male who presented with bilateral insufficiency stress fractures occurring simultaneously in both proximal tibiae. Symptoms of a fracture in your. Partial weight bearing walking with walker support for four weeks and full weight bearing allowed after four weeks for eighteen patients. Clin. Moreover, prolonged cast immobilisation will be associated with morbidity in these patient age group. All patients were treated with posterior stabilised TKA with long stem, of which, four patients had screw augmentation for medial tibial bone defect. Radiographs of left knee after proximal fibula osteotomy. There are no conflicts of interest. sharing sensitive information, make sure youre on a federal Pseudoarthrosis described more commonly with stress fractures being diagnosed late or treated conservatively [10,12,19] and makes definitive treatment even more difficult. A prospective study of its cause among military recruits. If the fracture is open or comminuted, healing time may take longer. Young people experience these fractures often as a result of a high-energy injury, such as a fall from considerable height, sports . Accepted: CAS Stress fracture in the elderly people are reported in association with abnormal underlying bone like osteoporosis. Copyright 2021 The Authors. The mean preoperative tibiofemoral angle is 18.27 varus. Record of 15 patients, 14 females and one male who underwent one stage long stem TKAfrom the year January 2008 till December 2014 were reviewed retrospectively. Foot Ankle Int 19(7):479484, PubMed J Comput Assist Tomogr 22(2):265269. Methods: We analysed 20 patients from April 2012 to March 2017 with proximal tibia stress fractures associated with knee osteoarthritis of varied grades. In addition to the fractured bone, soft tissues (skin, muscles, nerves, vessels and ligaments) can be injured at the time of the fracture. Stress fractures should be a differential diagnosis in any young, fit adult who presents with spontaneous knee pain. Case Rep. Orthop. 1997 May-Jun;25(3):322-8. doi: 10.1177/036354659702500309. Radiology 146(2):339346, Nielsen MB, Hansen K, Holmer P, Dyrbye M (1991) Tibial periosteal reactions in soldiers: a scintigraphic study of 29 cases of lower leg pain. Knee 7(3):187190, Article Many cases [10,11] treated conservatively described in the literature subsequently went for non-union or pseudoarthrosis with persistent malalignment and further aggravating the symptoms of osteoarthritis which later required surgery. There are various causes of these fractures, the most common being a sudden increase in training intensity. RA is usually not confined to the medial compartment and its pathogenesis is different from that of osteoarthritis. In doubtful scenario, Magnetic resonance scan and bone scan may help in the diagnosis [18]. Three months after . Vitamin D and Stress Fractures in Sport: Preventive and Therapeutic Measures-A Narrative Review. 2016 doi: 10.1155/2016/5094906. Advert Symptoms Tibial stress fracture symptoms are very similar to shin splints (medial tibial stress syndrome) and include: Pain on the inside of the shin, usually on the lower third. Relat. Mohile N, Perez J, Rizzo M, Emerson CP, Foremny G, Allegra P, Greditzer HG 4th, Jose J. HSS J. Tibial stress fractures are common in the athlete. The mean age was 64 years (range, 5278) which includes three men and 17 women. Stress fractures are injuries most commonly seen in the lower limbs and are usually caused by repetitive stress. They ignored the treatment of stress fracture of the proximal tibia, and the stress fracture was further aggravated after surgery. HHS Vulnerability Disclosure, Help All fractures got united at the last follow-up. We also assessed any preoperative predictive factors which may lead to stress fracture in this patient group. -, Tsuchie H., Okada K., Nagasawa H., Chida S., Shimada Y. 2018. The mean Knee Society functional score improved from 15.5 (range, 10 to 40) to 76.8 (range, 10100) [p<0.05]. A tibial shaft stress fracture is an overuse injury where normal or abnormal bone is subjected to repetitive stress, resulting in microfractures. Two patients initially treated with cast application which went into malunion at stress fracture site required osteotomy, plating and bone grafting Figure 3. These injuries have a broad spectrum of severity and prognosis. In the early stage of proximal tibia stress fracture, due to the concealment of radiography manifestations , and the pain of knee masked the symptoms of the tibial fracture, doctors from another hospital performed total knee arthroplasty(TKA) for the patient, but ignored the treatment of stress fracture of the proximal tibia. Proximal tibia stress fractures in elderly are usually associated with primary osteoarthritis of knee joint [1, 2] . Our case is unusual as the patient was a young and otherwise t man who presented with simultaneous bilat-eral proximal tibial fractures. Before Full length alignment X rays, Anteroposterior, Lateral and skyline views of knees were taken for preoperative workup. Patients were followed up at months 1, 3, 6, and 12, and yearly thereafter. Radiographs taken before total knee arthroplasty. such as knee pain with a proximal tibial injury, . Introduction: Proximal tibia stress fractures with knee osteoarthritis pose a challenging situation. Early detection and prompt intervention is necessary to prevent the progression to recalcitrant non-union or malunion. The mean knee society score improved from 21.9 (range, 10 to 45) to 82.8 (range, 1599) [p<0.05].The mean Knee Society functional score improved from 15.5 (range, 10 to 40) to 76.8 (range, 10100) [p<0.05]. Google Scholar, Vossinakis IC, Tasker TP (2000) Stress fractures of the medial tibial condyle. Patients with proximal tibia stress fracture associated with degenerative osteoarthritis and varus deformity from April 2012 to March 2017 in our institution were analysed. In addition to the broken bone, soft tissues (skin, muscle, nerves, blood vessels, and ligaments) may be injured at the time of the fracture. An official website of the United States government. This is compounded by underlying osteoporotic bone in these elderly patient group. For patients who are unable to stand, full length alignment X rays not taken, but long films taken to cover metadiaphyseal area on either side of the affected knee. Careers. Often wearing a boot to decrease pain and a period of rest or activity modification can get these injuries to heal in 6 to 8 weeks. Five patients had mild varus (less than 10 degrees), six patients had moderate varus (1020 degrees) and Nine patients had severe varus (more than 20 degrees). Orava S, Karpakka J, Hulkko A, Vnnen K, Takala T, Kallinen M, Aln M. Int J Sports Med. A stress fracture can be defined as a fracture of a bone caused by repeated (rather than sudden) mechanical stress. Correspondence to To the best of our knowledge, it has not reported in the literature. Stress fracture of the proximal tibia after PFO has not been previously reported. Accessibility Total knee arthroplasty after failed high tibial osteotomy: a systematic review of open versus closed wedge osteotomy. Malalignment secondary to osteoarthritis increases the stress at the fracture site, which predisposes to delayed or non-union [13]. Thorough clinical and laboratory evaluation and careful preoperative planning is essential in managing this complex problem. Diagnosis can often be made on radiographs alone but MRI studies should be obtained in patients with normal radiographs with a high degree of suspicion for stress fracture. In the early stage of proximal tibia stress fracture, due to the concealment of radiography manifestations, doctors from another hospital performed total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for the patient. Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. We diagnosed all patients with the help of radiographs. Diagnosis is made with orthogonal radiographs of the tibia with CT scan often required to assess for intra-articular extension. (B) Lateral view. Bilateral stress fracture of the fibulae and periostitis of the tibiae. No abnormal amount of joint effusion. This is the inner border of the tibia (closest to the midline of the body) toward the back of the leg. Saunders Company, Philadelphia, pp 22402326, Belzunegui J, Maiz O, Lopez L, Gonzalez C, Figueroa M (1997) Leg pain with a periosteal and endosteal reaction.

Most, however, are the result of trauma (injury). Stress fractures can be classified according to the condition of the bone affected as: 1) fatigue stress fractures occurring when normal bone is exposed to repeated abnormal stresses; and 2) insufficiency stress fractures that occur when normal stress is applied to bone weakened by an underlying condition. No conflict of interest exits in the submission of this manuscript. Bethesda, MD 20894, Web Policies Tibial stress fractures are small cracks in the cortex of the bone which are usually due to overuse and repetitive stress, such as due to long distance . (B) Lateral view. Normal stress on an abnormal underlying bones will cause Insufficiency fractures [3]. Mild joint knee degenerative changes are noted. Comminuted fracture Three or more fragments are involved in the fracture. Proximal Tibia Fractures are non-specific and can occur in individuals of all age, race, ethnic group, and gender Adolescent males, who participate in high-impact sports have the highest incidence rate The fracture is also seen in middle-aged and elderly adults, who develop osteoarthritis of the leg The proximal part of the tibia is that segment of the tibia bone, which extends to the knee to form the knee joint. Br J Rheumatol 35(9):905907, Keret D, Segev E, Hayek S, Lokiec F, Wientroub S (2001) Bilateral symmetric stress fractures in a toddler. Radiographs taken 6months after TKA. Mil. Cast immobilisation, knee bracing or internal fixation are advocated for treating stress fracture [12]. Bookshelf (B) Lateral view. Most tibial stress fractures occur posteromedially, along the popliteal-soleal line in the middle and distal third of the tibial diaphysis [1,2]. eCollection 2021 May. Tibial plateau fractures are typically caused by a strong force on the lower leg with the leg in varus or valgus position, or simultaneous vertical stress and flexion of the knee. A two-sided p-value (p<0.05) was taken as statistically significant. Fracture of the tibia after a fibula graft for mandibular reconstruction: A rare complication, report of a case. G. Bhattee. Recovery time for a tibia fracture typically takes 4-6 months to heal completely. M84.362A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. All fractures were united at the four to six months follow-up. Tibial stress fractures located on the posteromedial border of the tibia often heal uneventfully. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with long stem address both the problems by arthritis correction, restoring limb alignment and bypassing the fracture site which aids in union and helps faster recovery in these elderly patient group Figure 1. Transverse fracture line through the proximal tibia. Stress fractures of the proximal tibia in runners. European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery & Traumatology Preoperative Knee Society scores and the functional score was compared with postoperative KSS and functional scores using the paired t-test to compare the means between two related groups on the same continuous, dependent variableFigure 5.
