Background Intramedullary nailing of tibial shaft fractures has been common practice for
decades. Nevertheless, complications occur frequently, and subsequent surgery is often …

Introduction Intramedullary (IM) nailing is the gold standard treatment for tibial shaft
fractures, but can be associated with various mechanical complications, including delayed …

Background Intramedullary nailing is the standard of care for tibial shaft fractures. The risk
factors for infectious and/or mechanical complications, notably non-union, remain …

Background Open tibial shaft fractures comprise almost 45% of all open fractures and are
frequently the result of high-energy trauma. Due to contamination, limited soft tissue …

Background Tibial fractures are the most common of all long bone fractures. Although many
tibial fractures may be managed conservatively, a certain subset, including unstable …

Objective: To compare the incidence of complications (wound, infection, and nonunion)
among those patients treated with closed, percutaneous, and open intramedullary nailing for …

Tibia fracture is the most common type of long bone fracture, and intramedullary nailing is
the preferred treatment. In open fractures, a provisional plate is often used to maintain …

Background: Prediction of negative postoperative outcomes after long-bone fracture
treatment may help to optimize patient care. We recently completed the Study to …

INTRODUCTION: The treatment of choice for unstable diaphyseal fractures in the tibia is
reamed insertion of an intramedullary nail (IMN). The most common complication to this …

Purpose We aimed to 1) identify predictors of delayed and nonunion of tibial shaft fractures
in patients treated with intramedullary nailing (IMN), including patient demographics and …
