The purpose of this paper is to describe the author's personal experiences in using the Patella Tendon Bearing Cast (P.T.B.) as described by Sarmiento (6), in the management of tibial shaft fractures. In all patients weight-bearing was instituted in a P.T.B. cast 4 weeks from the date of the fracture. The results obtained were compared with those of conventional methods used in the treatment of tibial shaft fractures. Analysis revealed that when the P.T.B. cast was used for treatment of tibial shaft fractures, the time taken for fracture healing was significantly reduced and the functional results were superior to those of conventional methods.
本文旨在描述作者按照萨米恩托（6）所述，在胫骨干骨折治疗中使用髌腱承重石膏（P.T.B.）的个人经验。所有患者均在骨折日期起4周时开始在P.T.B.石膏中进行负重。将获得的结果与治疗胫骨干骨折的传统方法的结果进行比较。分析表明，当使用P.T.B.石膏治疗胫骨干骨折时，骨折愈合所需时间显著缩短，功能结果优于传统方法。
