RESUMEN
Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, longitudinal y retrospectivo de 123 pacientes con fractura diafisaria de tibia, quienes fueron intervenidos mediante la técnica quirúrgica de fijación con clavo intramedular de Küntscher sin fresado del canal, desde agosto del 2012 hasta diciembre del 2013, en el Hospital Especial de Tumbi, de Kibaha, Tanzania, con vistas a evaluar los resultados de dicho procedimiento. En la serie predominaron el sexo masculino (74,0 %), el grupo etario de 26-35 años (37,4 %), los accidentes de tránsito como causa principal de las lesiones (74,0 %) y la reducción de la fractura de forma abierta (90,2 %); asimismo, 29,4 % de los pacientes presentó complicaciones y 80,5 % mostró buenos resultados en la evaluación final. Finalmente, se pudo concluir que el uso del clavo intramedular de Küntscher sin fresado del canal, es una técnica quirúrgica viable para solucionar las fracturas diafisarias de tibia.
ABSTRACT
A descriptive, longitudinal and retrospective study of 123 patients with tibial diaphyseal fracture who were surgically treated by means of the surgical technique of fixation with Küntscher intramedullary nail without reaming of channels was carried out from August, 2012 to December, 2013, in Tumbi Special Hospital, Kibaha, Tanzania, with the aim of evaluating the results of this procedure.
