The time from injury to surgery is 8.71 months with the main cause being labour and daily life accidents, the most common type of injury is type 1 according to Doyle 1993 with a rate of 42.85%, the shortest follow-up time 3 months and the longest was 8 months with results ranging from good to very good reaching 100%, only 1 case of a patient having a superficial surgical wound infection.
