Skin Puckering in a Tibial Fracture

Skin puckering is a feature observed in fractures that undergo large displacements at the time of initial injury and occur as a result of adherence of the dermal tissues to the underlying fracture fragment. Herein, we discuss the interesting case of a 47-year-old male who suffered a comminuted tibia...

Sumario:Skin puckering is a feature observed in fractures that undergo large displacements at the time of initial injury and occur as a result of adherence of the dermal tissues to the underlying fracture fragment. Herein, we discuss the interesting case of a 47-year-old male who suffered a comminuted tibial shaft fracture which resulted in marked pretibial skin puckering prior to fracture reduction with striking corresponding images noted on computerised tomography (CT) scanning.
