Abstract The Ilizarov circular fixator is an ideal method of treatment for those high–energy fractures when extensive dissection and internal fixation are hazardous or contraindicated due to presence of a wound, trauma to the soft tissues, deficiency of bone stock, and bony comminution. In this study we treated 30 patients with open tibial shaft fractures Gustillo II & III using ilizarov technique. Surgical technique ,results, and complication of treatment are discussed in details . Our results are comparable to international studies and we concluded that ilizarov circular fixator sustains strongly with the recommendation that external fixators must be the treatment or choice for these high – open tibial shaft fractures.
