Fig. 7

A 57-year-old woman sustained an open distal tibia and fibular fracture. A, B, and C illustrate that the tibial fracture was Gustilo type I, OTA 43-C1 DTF. D reveals that the patient underwent closed reduction and external fixation. When using three-dimensional computed tomography, a nondisplaced intraarticular fracture line was obviously visible (E and F). G depicts the overall image at the 3-month follow-up after SEIP IMN surgery. H and I depict the AP and lateral radiographs of the tibia at the 8-month postoperative follow-up.
