Abstract：
:The aim of the study was to investigate the utility of a simple office-based tool in predicting the need for secondary intervention to obtain union in patients with tibial fractures. All patients 18 years and older with isolated tibial shaft fractures (OTA 41A, 42A-C, and 43A) treated with intramedullary nailing from 2013 to 2017 were screened. Eighty-seven patients met enrollment criteria. Surgeon assessment of the following 3 clinical parameters was performed at routine office visits and scored as follows: (1) pain (none/mild/decreased=1, no change/increased=0); (2) function (minimal limp/able to perform a single-leg stance=1, significant limp/unable to perform single-leg stance=0); and (3) examination (no/minimal pain with manipulation=1, pain with manipulation=0). Radiographic healing was assessed by the adjusted radiographic union scale in tibial fractures (aRUST). The tibial fracture healing score (TFHS) is the sum of 3 clinical scores (0 to 3) and aRUST score (1 to 3) at 3 months postoperatively. The overall nonunion rate was 11%. A RUST score of 5 or less and a sum of the 3 clinical scores of less than 2 at 3 months were found be predictive of nonunion. A TFHS of less than 3 at 3 months was more reliable in identifying patients requiring nonunion repair, especially for those with minimal radiographic healing (RUST score 6 or 7) at 3 months. The TFHS is a simple office-based clinical tool that may identify patients at high risk of nonunion (TFHS <3) following isolated tibial shaft fracture more effectively than clinical examination or radiographic assessment alone.
