OBJECTIVE: To compare the outcome of the open proximal and distal fractures of @entity2091 treated by Nasser Awais External Fixtator with T-clamp. METHODS: The descriptive case series was conducted from August 2009 to July 2012 at Department of Orthopaedic Surgery _ Traumatology, Liaquat University of Medical _ Health Sciences, Jamshoro, and comprised in- @entity1 of open proximal and distal fractures of @entity2091 who were divided into two equal groups: group A had distal and group B had proximal @entity1 . All @entity1 had extra-articular open fractures Gustilo I, II, IIIA and IIIB of proximal and distal end of @entity2091 between 15 and 60 years of age who had arrived within 8 hours of the injury. Below-knee plaster cast was applied for 02 to 03 weeks after the removal of Nasser Awais External Fixtator and all @entity1 were followed up for 12 months. SPSS 17 was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: Overall, there were 30 @entity1 ; 15(50%) in each of the two groups. The mean age in group A was 28.9  9.43 years and 34.3  14.60 years in group B. There were 11(73.3%) males and 4(26.7%) females in group A, and 15(100%) males in-group B. Mean @entity174 union time in group A was 17.20  2.93 weeks (range: 11-23 weeks) and in group B it was 23.53  2.44 weeks (range: 19-28 weeks). Ankle joint @entity2693 occurred in 2(6.7%) cases that were in group A, and knee joint @entity2693 was seen in 2(6.7%) cases and they were in group B. CONCLUSIONS: Nasser Awais External Fixator with T-Clamp was a safe technique and promoted the union with a low complication rate with less union time in distal @entity174 compared to proximal @entity174 .

Open proximal _ distal fractures of XXXX treated with Naseer Awais External Fixator with T-clamp.
