Extra-articular fractures of the distal tibial metaphysis, metadiaphyseal junction and adjacent
diaphysis are distinct in their management from impaction derived “pilon”-type fractures and …

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

Objective: We conducted a study to evaluate the long-term functional outcomes of patients
with an isolated tibial shaft fracture treated with locked intramedullary nailing. Design …

Purpose The aim of this systematic review was to compare knee pain and function after tibial
nail insertion through an infrapatellar, semi-extended and suprapatellar technique. Methods …

Tibial shaft fractures are the most common long bone injury and are often treated surgically
in an attempt to minimize complications. Although treatment options for tibial shaft fractures …

Objective: To determine the outcome of intramedullary interlocking surgical implant
generation network (SIGN) nail in diaphyseal tibial fractures in terms of union and failure of …

Aims The extended usage of unreamed tibial nailing resulted in reports of an increased rate
of complications, especially for the distal portion of the tibia. Unreamed nailing favours …

In this paper, an innovative design of nail for fractures occurring on long bones has been
investigated. Its functioning is based essentially on sliding of conical surfaces, located in a …

Aim To determine the effectiveness of vacuum assisted closure (VAC) for the early
conversion of external fixator to definitive interlocking in open fractures of the both bone leg …

Objectives: To compare the prevalence of anterior knee pain and functional impairment post-
tibial nailing to the contralateral knee and a background population. Design: Patients were …
