The advantages of plate fixation of tibia fracture are fast healing and early mobility, while the disadvantages are high trauma, high treatment cost and secondary surgery.
1. Advantages: Internal fixation of tibia fracture can be performed through surgical incision to fix the fracture end, thus ensuring the stability of the fracture end and early healing. In addition, internal plate fixation is more reliable than external fixation, and can restore the function of downward movement as soon as possible after surgery.
2. Disadvantages: Because of the need for surgical incision, internal fixation of tibia fracture plate will damage the muscles, periosteum, blood vessels and nerves, so the operation is more traumatic. The total cost of internal fixation of tibia fracture plate is higher. In addition, a second surgery is needed to remove the plate after the fracture has healed.
After tibia fracture, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for consultation and appropriate treatment according to the specific conditions of the fracture, such as internal fixation with plate, intramedullary nail fracture of tibia or other treatment.
