Serial serum C-reactive protein (CRP) measurements were made, for three weeks, in 42 consecutive patients with solitary tibial fractures. The CRP response was related to the treatment: lower values were observed in 27 patients treated conservatively than in 15 operated patients. Open reduction and plating resulted in a greater response than closed intramedullary nailing. The timing of the CRP response was related to the timing of the treatment: the highest values were usually recorded two days after admission or operation. The timing of the operation did not affect the degree of CRP response. Neither the site, nor the type of fracture, nor the age of the patient played any role. Awareness of these natural CRP responses after fractures may help in the diagnosis of early post-traumatic and postoperative complications, especially infections.
