Outcomes and their predictors in suprapatellar nailing for tibia fractures. Multivariable analysis of 293 consecutive cases.

Purpose: Intramedullary nailing of tibial fractures is one of the most common procedures in orthopedic surgery. It can be technically demanding in proximal or distal fractures, which may be facilitated using semi-extended approaches. The aim of this study is to identify outcomes and their predictors using a semi-extended suprapatellar approach for tibial fracture nailing.
