Fig. 6.

Anteroposterior (AP) and lateral radiographs of a 59-year-old man with a comminuted tibial fracture with a gap of 7.7 mm taken a pre-operatively; then post-operatively at b 3 weeks, c 6 weeks, and d 12 weeks. Note that the patient had removal of distal screws over tibia due to pain over site of screw insertion 1 week prior to our follow-up at 12 weeks. Fracture had healed and so both static and dynamic locking screws over distal tibia were removed.
