Treatment of grade 3B open tibia fracture by segmental resection and bone transport: A case report and literature review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction and importance

Open tibial fractures represent the most prevalent type of open long bone fracture, constituting 13.7 % of all open fractures, typically resulting from road traffic accidents and falls from a standing position.
