Functional Outcomes of Tibia Fractures Treated With Intramedullary Interlocking Nails by Suprapatellar Approach: A Prospective Study.

Background Tibia fractures are the most common lower extremity fractures. The subcutaneous anatomy of this long bone predisposes it to high fracture frequency in a high-energy trauma. The tibia is a major weight-bearing, long tubular bone that is axially and rotationally unstable when fractured, which ideally necessitates its surgical fixation in adults.

Management of Open Tibial Diaphyseal Fractures by Limb Reconstruction System As Primary and Definitive Treatment: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Background One of the most frequent long bone fractures that most orthopaedic surgeons see is a tibial diaphyseal fracture. The tibia has more open fractures than any other major long bone because it is covered by skin for the majority of its length. The best course of therapy is still up for debate due to the high occurrence of comorbidities linked to these fractures.
