A conservative functional technique of treatment of tibial fractures is described. This method allows the mobilization of knee and ankle joints and early weight-bearing. The leg is fitted into an Orthoplast orthosis fixed to a plastic sole which permits the wearing of shoe and sock. The experience in 56 patients is described. Excellent function results obtained after a relatively short time recommend this type of treatment.
