Cerclage for torsional fractures of the tibia

H Habernek, G Walch, and C Dengg

Regional Hospital, Schwaz, Austria.

We report the technique and results of percutaneous cerclage used in treating 186 torsional fractures of the tibia, most of which were due to skiing accidents in young patients. It is recommended only for this type of fracture and has the advantages of simplicity, a low rate of complications and a relatively brief period in hospital.
