A retrospective review of fractures of the tibial shaft treated in patellar-tendon bearing (PTB) casts shows that a high rate of union, in respect of both time required and numbers, and a low morbidity can be expected. The method is easy to apply. In those patients who had the casts applied early, once swelling had settled down, the fractures united more quickly.
对采用髌腱承重（PTB）石膏治疗的胫骨干骨折进行回顾性研究表明，无论从所需时间还是数量来看，骨折愈合率都很高，且预计发病率较低。该方法易于应用。在早期应用石膏的患者中，一旦肿胀消退，骨折愈合得更快。
