Tibial fractures are the most common long bone fractures. Extraarticular proximal tibia
fractures account for approximately 5% to 11% of all tibial shaft fractures. The benefits of …

Proximal tibia fractures have presented a treatment challenge for orthopedic surgeons. Soft
tissue concerns with open plating techniques resulted in the increased use of either …

Management of tibia fractures by internal fixation, particularly intramedullary nails, has
become the standard for diaphyseal fractures. However, for metaphyseal fractures or those …

INTRODUCTION: Intramedullary nailing is challenging in proximal tibia fractures, associated
with high rates of malalignment. To date, no studies report the potential of lateral tibia nail …

The indications for tibial nailing are evolving and expanding from diaphyseal fractures to
include proximal, distal, and open fractures. The biologic and mechanical advantages of …

Over a 24 month period, 30 patients with proximal tibia fractures who were reviewed
consecutively were treated by nonreamed, statically locked, intramedullary nailing. There …

Some tibial shaft fractures cannot be accurately reduced using closed or percutaneous
techniques during an intramedullary nailing procedure. Under these circumstances, a formal …

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of intramedullary nailing of distal tibia fractures using
modern techniques, without fibula fixation, in obtaining and maintaining alignment. Design …

Objective: To compare extra-articular proximal tibial fractures treated with intramedullary
nailing (IMN) or percutaneous locked plating (PLP) and assess the ability of each technique …

Statically locked, reamed intramedullary nailing remains the standard treatment for
displaced tibial shaft fractures. Establishing an appropriate starting point is a crucial part of …
