NCT00842101 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 80

Last updated 2009-02-12

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of reamed intramedullary nails in tibial shaft fractures (as a standard treatment), in raising intracompartmental pressures and therefore determine if they are a risk factor for compartmental syndrome.

Conditions

  • Tibial Fractures

Interventions

DEVICE

Quick Pressure Monitor

The monitor measures actively the actual pressure inside the compartment affected.
