A 19-year-old male basketball player suffered a spiral fracture of the tibia with an intact fibula, an uncommon injury in basketball. Treatment options for these injuries include cast immobilization, external fixation, and internal fixation using an intramedullary rod or plates and screws. Numerous complications can occur in these injuries, possibly including interference with healing by the intact fibula. The player was treated with an intramedullary rod, but delayed union ensued. Treatment of the patient's delayed union with closed exchange intramedullary nailing and fibular osteotomy enabled him to return to basketball participation.
一名19岁的男性篮球运动员胫骨发生螺旋骨折，腓骨完整，这在篮球运动中是一种不常见的损伤。这些损伤的治疗选择包括石膏固定、外固定以及使用髓内钉或钢板和螺钉进行内固定。这些损伤可能会出现许多并发症，可能包括完整的腓骨干扰愈合。该运动员接受了髓内钉治疗，但随后出现了延迟愈合。通过闭合式交换髓内钉和腓骨截骨术治疗患者的延迟愈合，使他能够重新参加篮球运动。
