The impacts of internal vs external fixation for tibial fractures with simultaneous acute compartment syndrome
European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery & Traumatology Jul 05, 2018
Aghdam HA, et al. - Experts evaluated if early open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) instead of late internal fixation or external fixation, or stage-based approach was a better method.

Poor outcomes and lesser satisfaction were accompanied by the stage-based approach.
