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

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 …

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

Nonunion after intramedullary nailing (IMN) in patients with tibial shaft fractures occurs up to
16%. There is no agreement whether reaming prior to IMN insertion would reduce the …

Introduction This study aimed to identify the prevalence and the risk factors for re-
interventions following reamed intramedullary nailing (IMN) of tibial shaft fractures. Patients …

Objectives: Intramedullary nailing is the treatment of choice for fractures of the tibial shaft,
which might necessitate the nail removal due to complications in the long-term. Although …

Objectives: To determine if there is a difference in rates of tibial nonunion in patients
undergoing tibial intramedullary (IM) nailing and fibular fixation as compared to a matched …
